Yes, I am waking up on a cold, shitty December morning in Metro Detroit still quite pleased to be Big Ten Champions and rather intrigued by our bowl matchup this time around. Come what may, we made it into the CFP, and now, we shall try and win a couple more, eh?

Heading to the gym to start the day… still have a smile on my face cuz we’re B1G champs, and I’m going to the Orange Bowl to watch my beloved team beat the Dawgs.

It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

Michigan is the B1G champion AND going to the CFP,

Hutch in the final 4 for the Heisman, and

'lil brother mad as hell that Hutch is going and KW3 is not and will "boycott"....

A great Wednesday to be a Michigan Wolverine!!!

Rich Eisen summed up this fall perfectly the other day on his podcast:

  • Michigan beat OSU
  • Michigan is B1G Champs and in the CFP
  • Michigan got to knock off historical thorn-in-the-side Iowa to win the conference
  • Michigan getting into the CFP ensured that Notre Dame didn't get to back their way in (and he took a shot at them not being in a conference)
  • MSU's "historic" win over us back in October has been relegated to a footnote and it garnered them nothing better than a Peach Bowl bid against Pitt
  • OSU is "settling" for the Rose Bowl against a Utah squad that will be looking to get a program defining win against them (upset alert).

Best.  Fall.  Ever.

I was originally pissed that we lost to msu, but if we hadn't, it's possible we wouldn't have been paired up with uga in the playoff due to a #1 ranking.  I want Michigan to hand uga a loss so badly that I'm happy it worked out that way. The bonus is that if we win it all, msu will be raw about it forever. Perfect.

I've seen too many undefeated teams crumble when the stakes get too high. Having that one loss really keeps the mindset in the right place and reminds the team they are not invincible, and that they still have work to do. I was irate as well (especially with the officiating), but all things considered, I would have traded that game away to get all the rest we have on the table. No doubt about it.

Big Ten champs! Playoff bound! Bball looks to be maybe beginning to round in to form. 

This is the first time in so long that the weeks after The Game haven't been miserable for a Michigan fan living in Ohio.

Not fooling me Mr. Celcius. It's 22 here in godforsaken Kansas-and there is the first skim of ice on our pond this morning :)

Otherwise, is has certainly been a jubilant last week of being a Michigan fan-well, except for that hockey loss. 

I "always" wear my Michigan hat around here but it has been particularly enjoyable since Saturday.

Still smiling from BIG TEN Champs......CFP bound and Hutch going to NYC (and Walker snubbed)....

Basketball starting to show signs of gelling...

Sparty tears are sweet...

Tonight will be great as my son has baseball practice tonight and his coach is a Sparty Alum who had been whinning the past few weeks just because that's all they do....

Plan on taking my BIG TEN Championship souvenir cup to practice and sip sweet drink right in front of him all practice.....

Reporting from enemy territory down here in Metro ATL. Listening do the local media bitch about Kirby Smart is almost a carbon copy of prior Harbaugh complaints.  He can recruit QB talent, but can’t develop or retain it (Justin Fields, JT Daniels, etc.). He plays favorites, etc. If you didn’t know better, you’d think GA went 2-4 last year and was recruiting at a middling SEC pace.

My future DIL is a Georgia undergrad/law grad.  We are having fun telling her the wedding is in the balance depending on the outcome of the UM/UGA semifinal game.
