There are...
...only
days until you will be popping a cold one or two or three in preparation for the moment when Will Campbell and the boys follow Brock Mealer into Michigan Stadium.
The Huskies won't know what hit them.
But you will be ready, because you are a member of the MGoBlogerati.
how many people are sleeping on Thor this year. Rittenberg will come to regret shutting us out of his top 25. I don't know which will be more sweet, seeing Denard, Thor and MM pwn fools in the B10 or seeing Adam eat some crow.
Don't know about anyone else, but I will gain more satisfaction from seeing our opponents grasp at air as Denard flies by them than I will from some nerdy blogger from ESPN writing "I was wrong" on the internets.
starting to rev in your head? It starts quietly and intermittently, like it's trying to turn over cold with a bad battery.
"ki-ki-kil-ki-ki... Ki-Kil-Kil-kill-kill-kill-Kill-Kill-Kill"
I thirst for Saturday afternoon violence.
I don't know if this is sad or not, but I get married on Aug 21st and I'm more excited for the football season to start than my own wedding to get here. My Fiance keeps saying "only ____ days until our wedding" and then I say, "only two weeks after that until Michigan football"; To which she hits me on the arm.
I have to agree with her. Football season comes every year, but weddings only happen 4 or 5 times in life. :-]
Seriously, good luck.
That is all.
Truth: The wedding is her day. You'll have a blast, but it's not really the day you're looking forward to. It's the life afterwards. Truth be told, most women want to have a wedding more than they want to be married.
Conversely, most men want to watch football more than they want a wedding.
Truth be told, most women want to have a wedding more than they want to be married.
I don't know if that's literally true. However, considering the planning, expense and stress that goes into a ceremony that's over in under an hour in most cases, and a few hours for the party afterward, it certainly seems that way sometimes.
Other the other hand, I'm perfectly willing to concede that most men want to watch football.
Well, that's what you're hoping for when you have to stick your arm up there.
So says the Father of the bride.
Renew season tickets or pay for Daughter's wedding?
Baby can we do the ceremony at the tailgate?
One of my really good friends, a diehard Michigan fan/alum, just got engaged to a chick that doesn't really "understand" the whole fandom thing. His new idea that she doesn't (yet) know about/approve of but will have to? My friend wants each table to be associated with a Michigan football player--ie, Table 1: The Braylon Edwards Table; Table 2: The Charles Woodson table. I told him that's pretty much the best wedding idea ever.
all of those distant relatives you really don't like but have to invite be asked to sit?
The Justin Boren table?
What are the Honeymoon plans? We did a cruise to Key West, Grand Cayman and the like. Got a room with a private balcony. I highly recommend it.
That said... if anyone gets the second back from the bow, 5th deck, port side sky suite on the Celebrity Century, you might want to wipe the deck chairs on the balcony off before sitting in them.
Unless you want my bare rear end against yours.
Thanks sooooo much for that mental image. I think you're rockin' one a day for the last 4 or 5 days.
I think I need alcohol. Quickly.
We're going to Mexico - about an hour south of Cancun to Riviera Maya to an all inclusive resort. Should be a fun time.
I did the same thing with the birth of my daughter. She was due September 3rd and I kept talking about the season starting in early September. My wife was PIIIIIIIISSSSSSED. (Good thing she bleeds maize and blue too, otherwise it might have spelled disaster).
We almost named her Mabel Wolverine.
Decided on Mabel Love.
...they'll be used at strategic times when I think they might be useful.
You sir, are a wise man.
Did anyone else see the Rivals article yesterday talking about the D-line and LBs? The author claims that Big Will is not progressing at the rate fans expect him to. That made me a sad panda. They did, however, praise Greg Banks and Mike Jones.
Bring on the Huskies...
He had some problems during his freshman season, played a lot better in the spring game, and subsequently hasn't done anything on a football field since.
How the heck do we know how he's progressing?
I'm just the messenger, you dick!
/sarcasm
So they claim that fans don't think he's progressing quickly enough? Who the hell cares what the fans' opinions of his progress are? I'm much more interested in what the coaches think.
It reminds me of a great scene from Die Hard:
Dwayne T. Robinson: I've got a hundred people down here, and they're covered with glass.
John McClane: Glass? Who gives a shit about glass?
"I'm not the one who just got buttfucked on national television!"
- The smell of grilled brats on front lawns walking up toward the stadium
- The taste of one last beer before crossing through the wrought iron gates
- The feel of the warm September sun on your face as you take your seat in an ocean of maize and blue
- The sound of the Victors fanfare as the MBM takes the field, assuring you that it's finally here
- And then, the sight of an army of winged helmets, pouring out of the tunnel with a perfect, untarnished clean slate of a record.
Another year, another reason to be alive.
To dream, to hope, to believe. GO BLUE!!!
Thanks alot, Shoe... now how am I supposed to focus on work the rest of the day???
...are harder than others, amiright?
All of that made me smile.
fucking beautiful, man.
..watching the '69 game vs. OSU on B10 network last night was heaven.
I noticed on OSU's last play, the fumble was recovered by #55 and I couldn't help think of Brandon Graham.
Tradition indeed.
