It’s going to be a loooonnnnngggg day at work. With very little getting done.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:49 AM ^
I bet I'm getting even less done tomorrow.
January 8th, 2024 at 9:30 AM ^
I work from home 3 days a week and today is one of them. Will be putzing around to kill time. Tomorrow is at the office followed by a team dinner. A win tonight will easily get me through that looong day!
Go Blue!
January 8th, 2024 at 9:36 AM ^
Yeah like right now.
January 8th, 2024 at 9:47 AM ^
Yeah like right now. Me Too!
January 8th, 2024 at 10:36 AM ^
X Golf at 2. Thank goodness.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:42 AM ^
I hate that it's a work day. Would love to be there to attend with friends who live in Houston (also alums).
That said, Go Blue! Beat them Dawgs! By far the dumbest dog breed I've ever had as a pet.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:54 AM ^
I agree. The only saving grace is that the game appears to be one hour earlier than usual, presumably due to the central time zone, at least for us eastern time zone folks.
I heard this week on Cowherd (?) that college football is the second most watched sport in this country. I wish they'd keep the championship game on Saturdays. F the NFL; play the championship game on Saturday. I know bowl season and New Years makes that wonky and yet we always seem to be able to manage to play it on a Monday every year.
I wonder what is the incremental number of viewers they think they gain by playing it on a Monday night, usually late into the night although less so this year. Certainly makes it harder for many to have a get together over the game.
January 8th, 2024 at 10:23 AM ^
Its about money. Its the same reason the super bowl is later than it was 20 years ago. They'd have it earlier in the day where now its as late as possible so the people there have to stay in a hotel another night and spend more money.
The NCAA final 4 is on Saturday night with the championship on Monday night. Thats 3-4 days in a hotel room and several meals if your team makes it to Monday night.
Anyone going to the NC tonight most likely arrived Sunday and will stay two nights unless youre going to fly back home after the game and get home at 2am.
Its not about the fans, its about whats going to make the network and the cities these games are in the most money.
January 8th, 2024 at 10:31 AM ^
There's no question that it's about the money. I'm just saying that I wish it weren't so.
There are many circumstances in which money isn't entirely dispositive of the issue. For example, they probably could make more money by moving The Game a bit later. The noon kickoff creates a 9AM PST kickoff. I know west coast viewership isn't as high but they could probably add some viewers without losing the already-committed viewers. Separately, my understanding is that the in-attendance dollars pale in comparison to the TV advertising dollars.

Fun fact: Dubs is actually an Alaskan malamute.
January 8th, 2024 at 2:42 PM ^
+1 for Huskies being dumb. Also very high energy & annoying. But we still love em.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:45 AM ^
GO BLUE!!! Kick some Husky tail!!!
January 8th, 2024 at 8:49 AM ^
One thing left to do...
January 8th, 2024 at 8:52 AM ^
Shouldn't that last sticker be covering Paul's head?
January 8th, 2024 at 9:03 AM ^
Who put glasses on that penis?
January 8th, 2024 at 9:35 AM ^
And shouldn't it be a monocle?
January 8th, 2024 at 10:25 AM ^
Thats one cardboard cut out you'd want to keep covered up.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:49 AM ^
Tonight we ride! LFG!!!
January 8th, 2024 at 8:50 AM ^
Work will be torture. Go Blue!
January 8th, 2024 at 8:50 AM ^
Line moved a point in UM favor today so far.
January 8th, 2024 at 9:31 AM ^
It did move to -5.5 last night (at FanDuel), but it actually just shifted back to -4.5 this morning.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:53 AM ^
I should’ve taken today and tomorrow off of work to just soak this all in but I am dumb and didn’t. 25 years of pain and heartbreak to get here, just let us get this one.
January 8th, 2024 at 10:26 AM ^
I absolutely would have if we werent already off several days for Christmas and New Years.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:56 AM ^
Let's Go!
Michigan football - I luv you 3000.
Go Blue!
January 8th, 2024 at 11:40 AM ^
Go to bed...or I'll sell all your toys. Great part of a great movie.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:58 AM ^
Today I am the bad guy from Ghostbusters 2. He fed on the negativity New York. I am tapped into the energy of all the haters stewing in their own liver-eating-die-mad anger about Michigan being here.
I want each and every one of those fuckers to understand I am being sustained and invigorated by their fear and bad energy. This evening, their worst nightmare comes true. Tomorrow, they will be unable to open social media because of all the Harbaugh smiles and uses of "Bet."
January 8th, 2024 at 9:02 AM ^
But around 11 o’clock tonight the tune will change:
Your love, keeps lifting me higher,
Higher than I’ve ever been before
January 8th, 2024 at 9:36 AM ^
No question, XM.
I'm playing the "duality of man" card on this one. I am enjoying all the shade and anger that the weak have right now. But, gun to my head, I'm even more sated by all the love for this team and comradery we have as a fan base. At 11, if I see two dudes in their team's favorite hoody, I'll ignore the MSU/OSU guy and give the Michigan fan a big hug.
January 8th, 2024 at 10:27 AM ^
lady liberty about to put the smack-down on that negativity!!
January 8th, 2024 at 10:05 AM ^
You'll be the wind beneath my wings....
January 8th, 2024 at 9:36 AM ^
That guy was a dick. I suggest you be a psychic vampire like Colin.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:58 AM ^
Happy Michigan Football National Championship Game Day MGoBloggers ! This team is special. Have really enjoyed the ride with this team and bloggers here this season. One moar please! Win the game. Go Blue !
January 8th, 2024 at 8:58 AM ^
Sorry, double post. Probably a bit too excited 11 hours from kickoff. Fortunately, Blake Corum and his teammates are staying focused and calm, within their own zone.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:59 AM ^
Oh hail yes, win it all! Go Blue!
January 8th, 2024 at 8:59 AM ^

January 8th, 2024 at 9:02 AM ^
Let’s goooooo
January 8th, 2024 at 9:03 AM ^
We're in rarified air.
- "The best view comes after the hardest climb." – Vanessa Gendoma
Today, team 144 has the opportunity to summit the NCAA mountain and to plant the Michigan flag at the apex of college football.
GO BLUE!
January 8th, 2024 at 9:06 AM ^
Who can resist all the bonus Posbangs this year? May we have another one late tonight!
January 8th, 2024 at 9:08 AM ^
Is there a game today? Hadn't heard anything in the media about it.
January 8th, 2024 at 9:09 AM ^
If you didn't upvote every comment above yours...... you should be ashamed.
Onward, GO BLUE!
January 8th, 2024 at 9:43 AM ^
What about self-banging? Is that allowed?
January 8th, 2024 at 9:49 AM ^
MeLLLLLL called in and he is pulling for us; at least according to a leaked anonymous quote from Bruce Feldman.
January 8th, 2024 at 9:10 AM ^
How did it end?
January 8th, 2024 at 9:35 AM ^
Wet.
January 8th, 2024 at 10:10 AM ^
Sticky...
January 8th, 2024 at 9:18 AM ^
What a day. What a lovely day!
Washington is a great opponent, I have absolutely no ill will towards them at all. But in a few hours, I will want us to destroy their souls.
There will be little work completed today. There will almost certainly be little work completed tomorrow.
Go Blue!
