This is what I live for
Today is what I live for. I have been emotionally commited to michigan since I was 4 years old. There have been alot of great times, and lately some rough times. I know if I look at the matchup without my maize blinders on it looks bleek for us, but I don't care.
At noon I'm gonna sit down with my pipe and a case of beer, then I am going to spill out my heart and soul supporting my team. There is nothing that I have experinced in my life that makes me feel as alive as THE GAME. The emotional high's and low's I go through during THE GAME have yet to be duplicated by any other experince in my life.
I don't know if its the 40 year anniversary of the 69' game, osu having already clinched the rose bowl, the ugly uni's their gonna wear or just my deep passionate hate for everything ohio, but I feel like today's game will be one of the greatest we have ever seen in the rivalry.
Win or loose, as glorious or ugly as it gets, I know today I will feel as euphoriclly high or as manically depressed as humanly possible. Most people won't let a game ruin or make their day to day lives, but I will. It may be pathetic but I don't care I love this team with every bit of emotion I have in me. I wouldn't trade what I experince during THE GAME for anything in the world, and damnit thats why ITS GREAT, TO BE, A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE.

I'm also ALL IN for killing hookers Saturday night. Where should we meet up after the game?

If we lose I plan on starting by burning my apt. down. After that the first 20 ppl I come across are in for a terrible death. After that I will hotwire a hummer and drive into all oncoming traffic on I-75. What will be known as the bloodiest police chase ever will end with me napalming tressel. I'll need someone sitting shotgun to shoot my rocket launcher at people, because I will be busy with driving while shooting my flamethrower. The rampage starts in Mt. Pleasant, let me know where to stop and pick you up on the way to colombus.
Of course this won't be necessary because we are going to win by ten thousand points, but just incase thats my backup plan.

Woke up at two in the morning this morning dissappointed that it wasn't time to hit US 23 to go to the game. Finally got up at 5 cause to excited.
BEAT THE BUCKS!

I had been laying in bed for an hour trying not to wake up the rest of the house. Regardless of the on-field forecast, I am totally primed for this game.
And because, with blind faith, that I BELIEVE.
Wish the ride was a little smoother this year, but there's still nothing like Michigan football.
Go Blue.

As much as people talk about this being just a game and how our own lives shouldn't be affected and blah blah blah...I still KNOW, in some deep pit of me, that this is true humanity, that to have two groups of men putting all the passion they have into competing at the highest level and to have fans who care enough that they'd be on the field sacrificing their bodies if they could is honestly a beautiful part of being alive.
To have faith--to believe that maybe, just maybe, this day will be different than what we've been told so many times--is one of the best parts of being on this planet. I focus faith and passion both vocationally and relationally, and know that those human emotions are just as true when applied to anything you care about. Particularly, they are just as real for this football team and this game.
Go Blue.

I've been waiting for this game for a year. I just wanted to say fuck OSU, I hope those prissy cock lovin sons of Richard Simons go to Hell and die. And I mean that in the most christian way.

GO BLUE damn it!

I watched the 2009 preview video for the 1000th time this morning.....this time felt just like the first. It was complete with a slight tear. If you can't get UP for this game, check for a toe tag.
I Believe.
WE BELIEVE (Clap, Clap) WE BELIEVE (Clap, Clap)
GO BLUE

So we have been suffering all week. Even Brian can't see us winning this game. It made me think about other times in sports history like this. Miracle on Ice, The Horror, the '69 Game, etc. The problem with those analogies are the teams in questions came in with confidence from recent wins.
Bottom line though, this is possible.
Go Blue! We want a Miracle! Beat the Buckeyes!

1. Can we win?
2. Will we win?
As to 1, I say definitely yes. It will take a combination of a few quick scores by UM and the D getting Pryor really rattled and throwing picks or fumbling. The D then has to play an entire second half.
Will we win? You have to say more likely no. But just when everyone thinks we can't, you start thinking (hoping?) that for the first time in many games (Notre Dame?) it's time to expect at least a few lucky breaks, liked a tipped or stripped ball.
I just have a funny, illogical, weird (but sober!) feeling that we will win.
So I'm going to have the TV on in another room for replays, listen to the wonderous homers on the radio, and watch the Liveblog.
And if you think I am delusional, I just asked the Magic 8 Ball if there would be a Michigan victory today. Here's the response:
