Although my bathroom has a perfectly good toilet, I often urinate in my sink because it is perfect height and shape, and requires no aiming whatsoever.

I yelled a lot of angry things from the stands in 08 and 09. If you were in the student section sorry for the nonstop string of profanity.

I really like North Campus. Seriously, I wrote a whole diary about it.

I have trouble finding my way around the roads in a given city.

I sold my utl tickets.

Colorado would beat us in 1994. Worst 20 dollars I ever won.

Growing up in Jersey, I was a Penn State fan...thank god I had family live in AA for a summer. One visit and I saw the light.

This happened to me one time as I love Michigan more then anything except my family. Living in California I get a lot of shit from all my SC friends etc. so one day I'm at this very popular very large sports bar in So Cal, Nov 4th 1995 and we just lost to Mich St. And Ohio St was whipping Minnesota! I remember it like it was yesterday. The place I went was having the Ohio St Alumni party of So Cal and there were like 35 white hairs there watching and yelling. Well we just lost and I was so pissed I wanted a piece of someone you know. Well as I got up from my table the old fuckers started to give me shit and were doing that stupid O H I O yelling and talking shit about my Wolverines, I'm ashamed to say it but I walked over to those old fuckers and started cussing at them, I picked up all there food (pizza wings mojos drinks ) and seriously I started chucking the food at these fuckers. I hit this old man in a bright red OHIO sweater that was talking smack right in the face w a slice of pizza and just laid into all these fucksticks. This lady told me to get the hell out of here etc. I grabbed a pitcher of soda and tossed it at her. The bouncers tackled me and finally got me under control, BUT as I left, this is the best part!!! This man started yelling at me in my face saying your school still sucks. I looked him dead in the face and YELLED GO BLUE and spit a loogy in his face!!!!

Am I ashamed - YES
would I do it again - HELL YES!!!

GO BLUE

I LOVE U GUYS! Take it to em

I wasn't a real college football fan until college.  Rooting for Iowa and Northwestern when you stop jerking off on Saturdays doesn't count.

I rooted for OSU vs. Miami in '02.

Now I has a sad.

in November, 1969.  My dad said, "this young punk cant beat those rednecks."  I was 4 and looked up to my Dad.  So I believed him.  But when that young punk won on that fate-ful day, my heart forever was changed.  I had more faith in that young punk than my dad sometimes.

Like others, I was against the Hoke hire.  I thought Hoke was just DeBord 2.0.  I was also very excited about the RR hire.  Now, I can't watch that Peanut-Butter-Jelly Banana thing without throwing up.

 

I was solely responsible for Michigan jerseys selling like hotcakes in Ohio:

I paid a bunch of educated Ohio graduates, who couldn't read or remember their school colors, $200 to buy $199.99 Michigan jerseys. They we're thrilled to make such a profit they didn't even notice the sales tax.

I believed this would help to bring down the recruiting wall around Ohio.

This inevitably led to a blogwide disbelief that Hoke had people in Ohio believing in him. Which never in a million years would some have believed. 

 

Since my evil plan...

The wall is down. Hoke has completely changed the tide of the rivalry. Michigan has won a BCS football game. Craig James admitted to killing five hookers while at SMU.

I was extremely obnoxious to visiting Ohio fans in the fall of 2007. Our house was right on the corner of Hoover and Mary Street (I have an awesome souvenir of that intersection), and I was yelling horrible insults and obscenities to perfectly obedient Ohioans.

After the booze wore off and I thought about what I did, I realized it is just a game, and they don't deserve that sort of treatment. Regardless of what their fans may do to us, we should not try to return the favor.

I have never been to a Michigan football game. And don't really have the desire to. Outside of hockey and soccer, as well as baseball from time to time, I prefer to watch games for all sports on TV.

...about how RichRod had adopted Hard Edge as a team mantra - and I thought it was a good thing.

May Bo have mercy on my soul.

Back in my anarchic days I walked on the block M in the Diag on purpose, multiple times. 

Traditionally, I never leave a football game early. During the 2011 Gator Bowl, I left after the 3rd quarter. I won't try and justify myself, because I've always prided myself on staying to the end, no matter the score.

Part of me left because my dad wanted to leave, but if I really wanted to stay, I could have gotten him to stay. It's been the only Michigan game that I've ever been to that I left early. I'm ashamed that I did, despite the score.

I do not want to rehash any old arguments, but the lopsided score, on top of the countless fans who actively voiced their opinions of wanting Rich Rod out, made me want to leave. It was a sad scene, whether it was right of the fans or not. But the overly active opposition towards Rich Rod in that game made me want to leave. Not because I support Rich Rod, but because it was hard for me to envision Michigan being as divided amongst itself as it was.

Nobody was right or wrong in this situation, but it was just a new experience.

I have been going to UM football games since about 1978. My Mom has had seats in section 13 since the mid-seventies until this day. She is a big Michigan fan, but never takes the down times very seriously (although she has very little tolerence for opposing fans). We have been to many many games together over the years. Now that I live out of state I only come home for a game or two a year, but always chose the big games (see you October 20th). It seems like we have been to damn near all of the most incredible Michigan wins together. They all seem to follow the same pattern...Michigan looks bad, I bitch about the coaching, the blocking , the decision making, the tackling, the kicking and the coaching some more. Whenever I bitch my mom -pats me on the knee and rolls her eyes (sometimes she tells me to be quiet). Here is the key though...after a lot of bitching, Michigan wins. I always make sure to remind my Mom that I have once again "bitched Michigan to victory".  Here are just  a few of the games I will take credit for bitching us to victory:

1979 Indiana (at 8 years old I was getting the hang of it)

1985 Ohio State

1995 Virginia (at the start of the 4th quarter I was convinced this was the worst Michigan team ever)

1997 Iowa

1998 Iowa (road game...bitched for someone to catch the damn punt! Thanks to Tai Streets for listening)

1999 Notre Dame

2001 Wisconsin (road game.. bitched us to the muffed punt victory)

2002 Washington

2005 Penn State

2009 Notre Dame

2011 Notre Dame

Special apologies for 2007 Oregon when I could not muster enough bitching to save the most pathetic game I ever saw live.

 

 

Before moving to MI and yes was a Buckeye fan. I actually wore my Keith Byars jersey under my Michigan sweatshirt (just in case) to my first "the game" in '85 as a frosh.

We won and my M fandom was cemented for life. I have promised myself to dedicate the rest of my life to protect other at-risk youth from such a plight.

Alas, I have not been a vigilant against the growing green menace and have to have a serious heart-to-heart with my nephew when I visit home this fall.

Ohio St. Tickets were free. Seats were good. Game ended sadly with one of them winning (osu). I wish like hell I could go back in time and take that decision back.

I attended the 2009 Ohio St Michigan game....god the horror of the stadium that day.

Growing up I loved Notre Dame until my dad changed me into a Wolverine and I thank god every day for doing so.

When I was a student, I always prided myself on getting to the games on time, if not well in advance.  But for the 2000 PSU game,  I was still pretty bummed about the Northwestern debacle the week before and since the weather was iffy, decided to turn on the TV and just watch it.  Then I saw Anthony Thomas score a TD with his mom (all the way from Louisiana) cheering in the stands.  If she could make it from 1,000 miles away, I could make the walk down to the stadium.

I finally made it in at some point in the second quarter.  Yes, for one game I was That Guy, the one who waltzes in during the second quarter like it's no big deal.  Shudder...

 

I was a RR Fan. And before him a Carr fan. I really drank the RR koolade, and was really sad after Mississippi State, when you just knew the hammer was coming.

I was despondent that neither Jim Harbaugh nor Les Miles were destined to end up at Michigan.

I was too wrung out to really care that Hoke was hired as the next coach, but I felt pretty meh about the future.

was The Horror. My second game was Oregon. I quit going for a year and came back for Utah. Then Toledo. I have since stopped going to games.

I was a pretty hardcore RR guy for most of his tenure.  I was also convinced for a long time that Amaker would turn the corner.  But that all pales before this:

I was once an Ellerbe guy.   I defended his program, its complete aversion to discipline on or off the court, the recruitment of Avery Queen, Josh Moore, Maurice Searight, Dom Ingerson...   Even after the 51-point loss at the end of his third year, I somehow still found it in me to rationalize what was going on.  I refused to admit that we were screwed with the guy in charge.  

Finally, in year four of the Ellerbe regime, as I was sitting in Crisler Arena watching us trailing by about 40 points to an MSU team whose fans outnumbered ours, it occurred to me, like a revelation from above: "This guy's doing a pretty crappy job as our coach."

 

 

1. I cheered when Stewart hit Westbrook.

2. I grew up a Notre Dame fan and hadmy enrollment deposit in the mail to attend there.  Ironically, my first game at Michigan was against....yep, them.

3. I cursed up a firestorm when Brady Hoke got hired.

4. Herpes.

5.

 

This is me in September 1980. I'm still a Meijer's Wolverine.

I'm still holding out secret hope that Jim Harbaugh comes back to coach Michigan after Brady Hoke retires.

1. I love Lloyd Carr, probably to a fault. I get overly upset when people question his integrity, coaching ability, football philosophy, etc. I know the man, and he is one of the best I've had the pleasure of meeting. 2. I never thought Rich Rod would work at Michigan. I take no joy in having been right. I didn't think anyone from outside the program would. I have no doubt that much of Hoke's success has come from his ability to make the players understand their place in the line of great Michigan teams and players. The pressure of having to live up to that tradition helps players play over their heads. Someone from outside could never 'get' that. 3. I thought Hoke was a great hire. For this, I do feel joy. 4. I often cry when watching old Michigan videos. Ufer's call on the Wangler-to-Carter pass always gets me. Anything having to do with the passing of Bo always gets me. Watching Lloyd Carr give his post-Ohio and post-Rose Bowl speeches in '97 always gets me. 5. I actually loved Jim Tressel as Ohio's coach, in much the same way that I loved Woody. I hated them both, but I respected the hell out of them as foils to our team. They deserved our respect as damn good coaches and guys that loved the rivalry. Then I found out that he was a cheat, and I was strangely hurt and disappointed.

I have a mental issue and need help. I have been up all night over a flipping football game I am not playing in. I am over 40 and feel like I am 8 years old on Christmas Eve. We need to schedule shitty openers to ease back into things. If not I will go insane.
