May he forever return on Saturdays.

September 3rd, 2022 at 10:02 AM ^
I always love this one, but I just realized that I’m not sure if frames is Jackie Treehorn or the Dude in this analogy. Thoughts?

Scott Frost - the gift that keeps on giving.
I have a favor to ask of the board. I need you to join me - and cheer, root, encourage, etc.. for ND today.
Don’t be silly .. No - not Notre Dame, the Fighting Hawks of the University of North Dakota (ND) - who face the Huskers in Lincoln.

Waking up on gameday of the first game of the season filled with something other than the existential dread that hung over so many seasons past. Last year’s team really exorcised the demons. Let’s do this business.
September 3rd, 2022 at 7:38 AM ^
DONT YOU KNOW PUMP IT UP!!!! YOUVE GOT TO PUMP IT UP!!!!
September 3rd, 2022 at 7:40 AM ^
Hello game day anxiety, my old friend. Let’s dance, you and I.

At long last!
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:11 AM ^

September 3rd, 2022 at 9:35 AM ^
The correct answer to every question.
September 3rd, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
To hell with ND also acceptable.
Tough situation tonight. I am team meteor.
said in jest of course.
Go Blue!
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:13 AM ^
Its game day bitches!!!!!
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:19 AM ^
And what a good day it will be. Start the day off with premier league and then switch directly to the Michigan game at noon. Hallelujah. Sorry for this upcoming beat down CSU.
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:35 AM ^
These are my feelings toward CSU, much more than those expressed in the OP.
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:26 AM ^
When life gives you rams, make mutton.
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:38 AM ^
My first game at The Big House. Super pumped!
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:42 AM ^
Enjoy the ambience of AA!!〽️
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:42 AM ^
Enjoy it. I’m 50 and still remember the first time I walked through the corridor and saw the field for the 1st time 40 yrs ago. I can’t remember what the hell I had for supper last night but I’ll always remember that.
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:47 AM ^
Same here, my first game at the Big House was the start of the Henne era vs Miami (NTM)
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:06 AM ^
Opening game 1997. Four years later, I marched across the end zone at graduation. Still get chills, every time I go back there.
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:42 AM ^
Exactly. I was a Sophomore in HS. My brother was a Freshman at Michigan. We grew up in a small town.
I remember walking from my brothers dorm room. I asked him if he knew where the stadium was at. He said not really but you’ll see it’s not that hard. I was aMAIZED at the swarm of people decked out in maize and blue all just flowing. No cars, just thousands and thousands of fans making a pilgrimage. Then walking up to the stadium and seeing only a handful of rows did not prepare me for what’s to come. I walked through the tunnel and into the cathedral of football stadiums. I was a fan before but that moment took my breathe away. I loved every second of being there. Michigan beat NW 49-7. As noted. I’m 55 and easily forget where I put my glasses down, but I’ll never forget that day and that moment.
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:56 AM ^
I’m 45 and I can remember only remember bits and pieces of my first game—1985 vs Maryland. I was eight. I remember the score and a Maryland flag being carried onto to the field. I don’t remember my beloved grandfather being there. My dad had to tell me years later. This was the only game we attended together. That kills me.
Memory is a funny thing. I don’t know why I can’t remember him being at that game as I remember so much else about him.
Gramps was a ND fan growing(Catholic in the 20’s and 30’s and from an immigrant family). But he was buried in a Michigan sweater. He was converted. Well, at least partially. He never lost his affection for ND which is understandable considering how important ND was for Catholics in a WASP country in his youth.
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:16 PM ^
My first game 1976 against Stanford. I was 12. I only remember the sea of people and we killed them. Don't remember the score but Stanford's QB was Guy Benjamin. We had Rick Leach and Rob Lytle
September 3rd, 2022 at 11:10 AM ^
My first Michigan game was on September 10, 1981. The week before, Wisconsin upset us (pre season number 1) but we came back and blew out ND. It was great seeing Michigan win 25-7 against then number 1 ND.
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:40 AM ^
Woke up at 3:49 and forced myself back to sleep til 4:49. Got queso in one crock pot and meat balls in another. My oldest sons coming over in which we’ll drink some beers and smoke some ribs for the night game. My 15 yr old who will literally sleep till 4pm is even awake wearing his authentic Corum jersey. Must be game day!
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:12 AM ^
doesn't get any better than that! Enjoy & Go Blue !
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:34 AM ^
Damn, meatballs and queso followed by ribs. What is your address, asking for ME!
Enjoy & Go Blue!!!
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
It’s finally here. Gameday. Champions defending. It’s going to be an amazing fall, Ohio state will be vanquished again and it’s going to be Michigan taking home the title. My son is due in late October, this fall will be special. It’s gonna be Michigan again, Michigan.
September 3rd, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
Defending B1G Champions
Boy that sounds good.
Defending National Champions sounds better.
Go Blue!
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:03 AM ^
Every first week of college football, I roll downtown Ohio state campus blaring The Victors on repeat. It’s about to hit even better shortly based off last years meltdown. Fuck OSU
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:41 AM ^
Thank you for your service. Just make sure you are adequately protected. May I suggest something like this
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:39 AM ^
Nothing better then Ann Arbor Michigan on Saturdays
September 3rd, 2022 at 9:55 AM ^
Coffee, dragon con parade with the kids, game after, go buy nerd stuff, then Brazilian steakhouse for dinner with friend that's in town. Great day!
September 3rd, 2022 at 10:28 AM ^
Is 4 hour morning wood on gameday normal? Wondering if I should call a doctor.
September 3rd, 2022 at 10:34 AM ^
Struggled last night falling asleep with the excitement of anticipation. Woke up at 6:15 and my wife somehow convinced me to go back to sleep. Awoke way later than I usually do, which makes the morning before the game so much shorter and easier to tolerate. LFG BLUE!
September 3rd, 2022 at 11:18 AM ^
Time to dance
September 3rd, 2022 at 11:38 AM ^
I’ve got my three month old baby daughter in her Michigan onesie today for her first ever Michigan game :) Let’s Go Blue!!!
September 3rd, 2022 at 12:10 PM ^
Mayne, make sure you take a picture of her in that fantastic onesie!
September 3rd, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
Hey gang. Good to be back.
