THE SEASON IS JUST ABOUT UPON US!!!
I grew up in Ann Arbor, went to school from Kinder through U of M. Been a diehard for over 40 years. Met Bo, went to high school with his son. Now live in California but follow Michigan sports as closely as I can, especially the football team. I have to say, I've never been this pumped before a season (even last year when we had Jabrill and the monster defense).
Past two seasons I went back and brought two of my daughters to games. This year I think I'm going to the state game. Ok, so what...
What are you pumped about?? The defense? Gary and/or Hurst? Speight? Other than just getting out there and destroying Florida, what are you most interested in seeing or anticipating for Team 138???

I am excited for all of it:
- Can't wait to see what DPJ can do on the field, and to see the other young WRs in action
- Really looking forward to watch Devin Bush fly untouched through the gap on a blitz and lower the boom on Zaire!
- Will we be able to move the ball on the ground at all? Will the right side just collapse, or do we have someone who can at least hold serve there?
- Khaleke Hudson ruining every screen and outside run.
- Who is going to field punts for us? Lots of interesting options.
- But probably most looking forward to seeing Quick Burst Hurst line up next to Gary and cave in that side of the line all day. That will be very fun to watch!
Only 16 days to go!

I'm pumped to see Mone retain full health for an entire season and finally break out...best starting DLine in the country.

I'm excited to see:
1) a very young but extremely talented team.
2) all the detracters quickly realize that Michigan rotates a TON on defense and even though we lost a ton of starters will still be quite good.
3) Evans and Higdon at RB behind (hopefully) an improved line
4) An improved Speight?
5) Harbaugh doing Harbaugh type things

I'm pumped to see a lot of BIG hits. Khaleke, Bush Jr and Metellus can all really lay the wood. I believe this year's D will be extremely physical and I want them to intimidate opposing QBs, WRs, RBs, etc...

What am I excited about?
Football. The greatest game.
Rashan Gary.
The receivers. Oh, man, the receivers. All of them.
A team that has rough spots and some flaws that returns almost everybody for 2018 and a fair number for 2019? I'm on board for that. This year may have some disappointments. But knowing how bright the future is, I'm excited to see things come together.

It's going to be a season of "insert name" got JACKED UP(hard hits reel from NFL on pregame sundays). We will be the hardest hitting team in 'Merica(sorry Scotty)!
Higdon will show us what we've been missing along with Evans. The WR corps will undoubtedly be amazing by the time we get to tOSU.
Our season depends soley on our OL and 2ndary. Who's got it better than us! Go Blue!

Huron and UM, and my dad was UM's Director of Training in the late 70s, so I am like you. But I also took my doctorate at UF, and I hate their football program!!! I want to see us demolish their asses.

Band..take the field! Not only are they great to watch, it means the kick-off is just minutes away in the home opener. Can't wait.
