early game day morning/can't sleep thread

Submitted by UM Fan from Sydney on

I went to bed around 10:30 simply so I could get more sleep, but of course it did not work. I started awaking around 3AM, dozed off a few times here and there, and then about twenty minutes ago, I just said "screw it" and got out of bed. It's a beautiful morning here in Manhattan.  Michigan football starts in nine hours and Above & Beyond Group Therapy 200 starts in eight-and-a-half hours. I have double excitement, which is the likely reason I cannot sleep.

Anyone else having trouble sleeping? Dare I say, "what are you drinking?"

learn to build charecter at a young age before they get to be 14 and know everything they need to know. You know their cup is full and have little if any room for anything else. I was that age once myself and remember my father teaching me important things like blue balls didn't mean my balls were dying, it meant I was on the phone too long with my girlfriend. Bless his heart..

and so far, so good, but only 3 are teenagers yet.   with so many kids its tough for any of them to be overly selfish, and with the farm they know the rule:  'if you don't work, you don't eat.'  as you might imagine we don't have too much trouble getting things done around here, and it is particularly effective when you can unleash a herd of them on a given task.   works of service are something they are quite used to.   hopefully it will continue to be so in adulthood.

My 5 week old son and I have been up all morning talking about the game today--analyzing how we think the OL will perform, whether Jabrill will get a few more touches on offense, etc.

Okay, I'll admit...it's been a pretty one-sided conversation. But he IS wearing his Michigan gear, so that counts for something.

went to bed at 11, annoying cat woke me up at 2, sort of went back to sleep, and then woke up for good about 40 min ago. going to a bbq for a while at 1, and then heading back to watch the game at home ... bbq is at a sparty fan's house and we can't stomach watching the game there!

The days of me being super nervous for a game are over. I feel confident now, not necessarily that we'l win every game, but that the wheels won't come completely off, like they used to. I used to watch games with a sense of dread. Or I wouldn't watch at all.

It was noon here in Germany when you posted this. Although that's nowhere near early, it is tough to get up at a decent hour and enjoy the sunshine when you work nights during the week. I'll be enjoying some Guinness during the game, but spent the day sightseeing a local castle.

Last weekend in LA before moving to MI

It's my last weekend here in LA before moving to Michigan. Wife and kids have already gotten settled. For my last game in LA, I am going to my old neighbor's house - also a big Michigan football fan - to watch the game.
