What are You doing TODAY to help beat Ohio State?
My hope is that the players are working as hard every day as they did the past 2 years.
I know superstition isn't real, but focus on superstition reflects intensity and commitment.
Two years ago I dug the same message in the beach here at Myrtle Beach.
Today, despite the cold weather, lack of sun and intermittent rain.. my kids and I did our part.

I drained all my Scarlett red blood and switched it for Blue. But now I can’t breathe and feel sleepy and am struuuuuggglling to typ

November 24th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
On my god! Is that a watermark?!
November 24th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
Let's see Jim Harbaugh's card.
November 24th, 2023 at 6:32 PM ^
Not sure. But Jim's wallet is the one that says "badmothrrfvcker" on it.
November 24th, 2023 at 6:34 PM ^
Halberstram!
November 24th, 2023 at 6:54 PM ^
I’m fairly certain Jim Harbaugh wears Oliver Peoples glasses
November 24th, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
Pale nimbus. . .with romalian type
November 24th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
Look at that subtle off-white coloring, and the tasteful thickness of it.
Oh my god, it even has a watermark.
😰😰😰
November 24th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Struuuggglllllliinnnggg like Joe?
November 24th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
to be fair, it is really difficult to say the word when you’re hammered.
November 24th, 2023 at 5:34 PM ^
"I believe everything that anyone else has watched, ahh, Chad play, impresses me the same thing impresses them...I wanna kiss you. I couldn't care less about the team struugglllliinngg..."

It is my understanding that Joe joined AA after this moment and hasn't has a drop of alcohol since then. Joe only said what the rest of us guys were thinking. (I still can't believe the put the camera on man that was obviously under the influence of alcohol.
November 24th, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
I watched this game live. My claim to fame.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:21 PM ^
Thread title worried me that it would be a very different post, but I am all for superstition having grown up a hockey fan. I am saving my mgoblog-issued "allez les bleus" tshirt for Saturday (almost insanely put it on today). The only times I haven't worn it recently were for Bowling Green and Maryland. Never again.
November 24th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
I told all my Buckeye friends that “I’m sure you all are going to win this year” (have done that the previous two years) and will wear my Michigan Jordan zip up that I have worn the last two years
November 24th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
I prayed.
“Our Father in Heaven, before we go into battle, every soldier among us will approach you each in his own way. Our enemies too, according to their own understanding, will ask for protection and for victory… ignore their heathen prayers and help us blow those little bastards straight to Hell. Amen.”
November 24th, 2023 at 4:23 PM ^
I'm resting my voice and watching football in sweats.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:23 PM ^
I put BLUE cheese dressing on my salad. Will be making some MAIZE with chipotle and thyme later.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:24 PM ^
I’ve been posting my favorite Fuck Ohio State GIF almost everywhere…
November 24th, 2023 at 4:24 PM ^
Took a huge dump in the toilet, imagining it was Ohio Stadium.
Left the streaks after flushing Ryan Day down
November 24th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
I’ve done this the last 2 years and it worked, so I did it again: I bet $100 on Ohio at Greektown in Detroit. If we win, $100 well spent!
November 24th, 2023 at 5:48 PM ^
Just a heads up win? Not ATS?
November 24th, 2023 at 5:52 PM ^
Correct. No spread. Just a heads up win.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
I've been reminding everyone all week that we need to
WIN THE FUCKING GAME!
November 24th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
I watched their last 3 games. And on all their 1st/2nd/3rd down offensive situations...
They can go to fucking hell.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
I'm doing my part, making plans to NOT attend the game. [See my comment in the Preview.]
November 24th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
I sat at the training table and annihilated the leftover turkey and pecan pie while watching Sam Webb and Al Borges strategize the Michigan offense.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
Car is packed and ready for a 5:30 a.m. lift off! Tonight will be easy on the bourbon a little heavier on the lemon and honey for a soothing night followed by screaming like hell tomorrow! Let's make them take a few illegal procedures tomorrow! If we can get the crowd to do one two three or four of those then we have done our part. Hoping the drive from Fort Wayne is uneventful, that we meet no deer in our path and that tomorrow when we leave we will do so with a big Michigan victory! GO BLUE!!
November 24th, 2023 at 4:39 PM ^
Nothing today. But yesterday I drank about 10 of my brother in laws (buckeye fan) beers. That's counts
November 24th, 2023 at 4:40 PM ^
Haven’t lost to Ohio since my wife and I got married and bought our new house. We haven’t divorced or foreclosed on our house yet so I’m expecting another win. ;)
Go Blue!!!
November 24th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
Since moving from Austin in Aug 2021 to my new rural abode, Michigan has not lost to OSU. Also, will be wearing my lucky 2021 Big Ten Champions tee.
Other than that, just channeling purely positive waves to JJ. I remember the days of Rick 'the Peach' Leach. This feels very similar.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:40 PM ^
Well- we've got our clothes for the watch party all set, for starters. For the last two years, I've worn a maize and blue flannel shirt for the game. It's not an officially branded one, but the colors work great, and it's my best fitting flannel shirt to boot. I've worn it on other regular days, but not on game days. I'm pairing it with this awesome pair of jeans- dark blue, but with a golden turmeric dye interior (I'm a raw denim nerd). Maize and blue all the way. My wife has a pair of maize leggings, a grey t-shirt with the lyrics to The Victors, and a big Michigan hoodie.
We're making a really cool Thai iced tea rum punch to bring to the watch party at our buddy's place tomorrow- that's pretty much all set. I've also got a Michigan teddy bear that we're bringing, for all of our panic attack hugging needs. I've got a hunch that he'll come I'm handy.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
Not today, but tomorrow. I’m not watching the game live. Last two years I wasn’t able to watch live due to commitments for the kids. While I have time tomorrow, I’ve chosen to fill it with time with my kids, just like last 2 years. If it ain’t broken…
November 24th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
I haven't watched the Game since 2011, and although that might not inspire confidence given our overall record, I also didn't watch the last two years, so have to keep that streak intact. Can't change it up now. As an aside, I've checked an online Magic Eight Ball site every day this week, asking the same question: Will Michigan beat Ohio State this weekend? I allowed myself one turn each day (no second turn if I didn't like the answer). I'll do it again tomorrow, and after the game, I'll share my results. Looking forward to MGoTarot tomorrow, too.
November 24th, 2023 at 5:03 PM ^
I watched in 21 but not last year. I don’t know what to do tomorrow.
November 24th, 2023 at 8:11 PM ^
Maybe watch a recording of the ‘22 game during the Game
November 24th, 2023 at 8:58 PM ^
Watch tomorrow but not next year. That could work maybe
November 24th, 2023 at 4:44 PM ^
Praying for fair officiating and for all borderline calls to go our way to make up for 2016.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
I made sure that my kids had their maize and blue gear cleaned and dried for tomorrow. They're sitting upstairs, neatly folded, waiting for tomorrow.
I also have a standing bet/trophy with a Buckeye family friend. She and her family are the only Buckeyes I truly like as people, and we bet a dollar years ago on The Game. The winner keeps the dollar and writes the score on the dollar somewhere. So what I guess I'm trying to say is....
BET!
November 24th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Doing all my chores and exercise today so I can focus exclusively on The Game.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
I'm decorating the Christmas tree and listening to Nat King Cole, just like last year.
All of my other rituals start around 9am tomorrow.
Go Blue.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:49 PM ^
Cleansing ritual in the backyard after midnight, burning a buckeye tree with sage to clear the air of its poison essence
November 24th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
Getting blacked out like I did last two years. You're welcome
November 24th, 2023 at 5:36 PM ^
In 2 days when you see this...Thank You!
November 24th, 2023 at 4:51 PM ^
Packing up today to leave early AM for the three-hour drive down the mountain to a buddy’s in Boulder. Watching with our families while enjoying something off the smoker has apparently pleased those in Football’s Valhalla over the last 30 years.
Snowing pretty hard here so if I make it there I’ll have no problem justifying drinking early when I do.
November 24th, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
What mountain? Where in CO are you?
November 24th, 2023 at 8:25 PM ^
Steamboat
