Have We Reached F5 Yet?

Submitted by tnixon16 on

Am I the only one who seems to have arrived at F5 season early this year? I'm coming back here way too often for a grown adult in the month of August. But I can feel it in the air.  #ItsHappening ... And, like a young Han Solo, "I've got a really good feeling about this!"

Anyway, feel free to hate on the OP. Just looking for a support group to join for those who can't wait for September 1st to get here.

With you. Been waiting on some camp chatter. I mean come on, its 3.5 weeks till first game! 

As an aside (or not), I was watching the 2016 MSU vs M game. Man we had some dudes then.We were punking MSU in their own stadium. Brings me to question, who are our "it" guys on offense? For example, every team has that electric player that can just overtake a game. I want M to have one. Shea? DBJ/Black who are uncoverable? Higdon who drags people for 10 yards?

Agreed. I mean in that 2016 game, Speight was throwing bombs and Darboh was ON FIRE. Kinda like how Braylon was in that 3OT game. 

Sigh...I want to see mannighamesque buring of CBs. Miss that so much. Or just RB running for 80 yard TD, LBs giving up at 40 yard...

MSU needs to go down and I want to see Lewerke cry.

Not yet. The date you're looking for is August 27. Right now is the is calm before the storm, with Brian putting together all the preview columns that he dumps faster than you can read it the week before the first game.

I initially thought the OP was talking about catastrophic tornado damage when I saw the title.   

Am I the only one who has never used an F5 key in their lifetime?

Absolutely with you. Maybe the department is doing a better job of keeping news under wraps than in the past, but we’re just not getting a lot of content. Mgoblog has a place on my shortcuts bar, but I find myself going to other outlets more and more just to get anything. 

Then again, it’s completely possible that you and I are just more compulsive than in the past, and we should try to focus on productive things <shrug emoji>

There really isn't a lot of news yet--early camp, I believe, has a lot of non-contact stuff and combinations that don't really tell us anything--but I agree that I would love to hear some news, any news. Even "Harbaugh experimented with Cesar Ruiz at TE as a practical joke" meaningless news would be good.

I don’t know but I must do some serious shit in my sleep.  First, i used to get adds for plus size women’s bathing suits.  Now I’m getting adds for all-gay cruises.

The cruise ads started popping up for me this week also.  NTTAWWT.

As to the OP’s question, yes I am in full F5 mode just hoping for any camp news. I even find myself going through most of the redundant OSU threads to see if maybe UMBig11 has popped in with a comment.  Soooooon.

I can't stop thinking how fun September 1 is going to be, obviously the game but also just the energy of the entire game.  Just took off of work for the Friday too.

I think umbig11 said the first contact practices don’t begin until the 9th or 10th. I’d imagine it’ll remain pretty slow around here until around this time next week.

Just trying to refresh fast enough to not miss a MICHIGAN football article on a MICHIGAN blog site.  So yea, back every  hour filtering through OSU bullshit to make sure relevant football talk doesn’t fall off the first page.

 

for the second off season in a row the rivals who scoffed at Harbaugh for “winning the offseason” are doing the exact same thing for much different reasons...  congratulations, the floor is yours!
