Can’t sleep. So much anticipation and anxiety.
Anyone else having the same issue?
In Cleveland suburbs for Thanksgiving. Woke up at 3:30. Can't fall back asleep. Have read all of the coverage I can find. Checking the hourly weather constantly. Hitting the road at 8am and heading to Columbus for the game. Go Blue!
November 24th, 2018 at 5:39 AM ^
No.
/s/
November 24th, 2018 at 5:39 AM ^
Same. Go blue.
November 24th, 2018 at 5:41 AM ^
With ya brotha. I even took my dogs out before normal time. they looked at me like "wtf, dad, we're sleeping. " now im mgoblogging. Luckily my wife knows I'm only on mgoblog, and not surfing the back pages at 430am.

I’ve been up since 1:30. Just spent 2 hours at Meijers trying to kill time and nervousness.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:17 AM ^
Dam that sucks ass. I was wide awake at 5:30, hangover and all but 1:30 is just a curse. Go blue!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:44 AM ^
Don't sleep through the Game!
November 24th, 2018 at 9:04 AM ^
All of them? :)
November 24th, 2018 at 5:42 AM ^
Is can't sleep either.
I'm at work though.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:45 AM ^
Isn't this site NSFW?
November 24th, 2018 at 5:43 AM ^
LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!
November 24th, 2018 at 5:50 AM ^
No, but then again this week has been surreal. We're favored, we're the better team, we're gonna win. Everybody says it. It's different this year, at least up to this morning that's been the vibe. It's been like Christmas week, knowing they'll be presents to open soon. In my mind, we're going to have our way with these guys, but another part says those are talented dudes with problems that I'm fearing they'll work through for Michigan week. The fight song, the 'Script Ohio', the gold pants they hand out, it's all about Us. It's all about beating Us. I know we're on the 'Revenge Tour' but that mob is on the 'psycho tour' when it comes to us. If it's a solace, they're probably more anxious than we are and they've beaten us 14 out of 16.

Been up all night on an SAP upgrade. My part of the upgrade is finished and I'm just passing the time on YouTube watching A-Yeon videos..
November 24th, 2018 at 6:08 AM ^
A-Yeon:
November 24th, 2018 at 6:20 AM ^
Dayum...previously, all I saw of her were innocent, sweet, wholesome pictures. How old is she?
November 24th, 2018 at 6:45 AM ^
almost 30 I think. She makes a great drummer video but she also plays piano and sings. She's extremely talented.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:31 AM ^
This is not going to help me sleep
November 24th, 2018 at 6:14 AM ^
yepppp
November 24th, 2018 at 6:15 AM ^
Me too. Ready to get this one won. Go Blue!
November 24th, 2018 at 6:22 AM ^
Same, for sure. Hope you have a most enjoyable experience down there... good luck everyone!
November 24th, 2018 at 6:23 AM ^
Drive safe and have a wonderful time. Go blue.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:23 AM ^
Noon game is such a beautiful thing - it’s just not that far away right now. I feel like Bob Wiley trying to heed Dr. Leo Marvin’s advice - baby step to 12 o’clock, baby step to 12 o’clock.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:27 AM ^
November 24th, 2018 at 6:31 AM ^
Exactly. Reduces the anoint of drinking time for their in bred, classless fan base to get all riled up.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:11 AM ^
I'm extremely happy for this game being at noon eastern. Because of the timezones, its a nightgame for me and the noon kick means I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to watch!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:42 AM ^
I’m strolling through the kitchen, with a bowl full of chicken...
November 24th, 2018 at 6:24 AM ^
My main concern obviously is the first half. I’m fucking terrified that we come out and play like we did against NW and that the halftime deficit is too much to overcome. Then I think about how they gave up 50 to Maryland and I feel better.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:26 AM ^
November 24th, 2018 at 6:46 AM ^
Mainly because I’ve been checking the weather “minutely.” Doesn’t leave much time for thread creation.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:28 AM ^
Forecast seems to be getting better...
November 24th, 2018 at 7:31 AM ^
You should create a weather thread.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:40 AM ^
My son woke me up at 4 am and I'm not mad at him. Gotta get focused for The Game!!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:32 AM ^
November 24th, 2018 at 6:45 AM ^
Yeah. Sleeping not really happening here. Ready to be uncomfortable for 3.5 hours.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:33 AM ^
November 24th, 2018 at 6:46 AM ^
November 24th, 2018 at 6:50 AM ^
Exact same here. In Medina, cant sleep. Last time I was this excited for the OSU game was 2006.
Please win.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:36 AM ^
I asked the guy, "Why you so fly?"
November 24th, 2018 at 6:55 AM ^
Very glad it’s a noon game today because I slept in a crib and was up at 430 with a sick kid. But I won’t even notice come game time nor care after a big win. Go Blue
November 24th, 2018 at 6:59 AM ^
I’m up by 5:30 most days anyway. Go Blue baby!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:00 AM ^
Same here, since 5 or so. I've been counting down to this game more than I did Christmas as a kid with an Atari 2600 under the tree.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:22 AM ^
Hopefully Bobby Sagers isn't working at homewood suites and rubbing one out into the team eggs.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:24 AM ^
Damn. I thought I am the only one. Best medicine I found is to play video game. Mindless shooting game takes the edge off completely for me.
I so want them to win for my heart's sake. I was also checking constantly for Brett to drop a new bomb on Meyer.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:25 AM ^
Got up super early to throw a brisket on the smoker. I usually go right back to sleep...not today! Go blue!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:34 AM ^
Went to bed around 0300 and am up now. I didn't know I could feel this much anxiety over the game. Go Blue!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:38 AM ^
Go Blue! Safe travels.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:39 AM ^
Same here. Woke up at 3:00 because my 13 year old walks like an elephant and leaves bathroom lights on. The only thing that calmed me and got me back to sleep was listening to Seth and Brian on their podcast. I didn’t even make it to Bacon yet. It wasn’t because it was boring but it was the only way to get my mind to stop thinking... oh, and Seth’s Neil Diamond-esque voice explaining how terrible OSUs run D is that called my nerves.
good night moon.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:41 AM ^
We're packing up...getting ready to leave this sad city (Columbus)...going to the friendly confines of my family in Northern Indiana. Light rain...mid 40s right now. Rain will continue to diminish. The weather should/will not be a factor in this game...the field will be a little damp...wind should stay light-10ish mph.
Play hard...play smart.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:44 AM ^
Woke up at 3:30 local time. Could not get back to sleep. Youngest daughter correctly predicted this thread. Win the game.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:50 AM ^
I tossed and I turned all night. Somehow able to force myself back to sleep all night but it’s useless now... time to get ready to see Michigan beat Ohio!
November 24th, 2018 at 7:51 AM ^
Slept like a baby. For the first time in many years, not super nervous about game. UM should win. Sure, they might not, but getting back to the point where one can say "UM should win" has really been a mountain to climb.
Think about this: the last time we had really good teams were probably 2006 and 2016. We had the great misfortune of OSU *also* having great teams that year *and* having to play them in the Horseshoe in those years. While this year isn't perfect - also an away game - OSU does *not* have a great team this year.
Long story, short: relax. We are back!
