What the esteemed Mr…

What the esteemed Mr. Jefferson lacked in stature, he more than made up for with his dance moves. "Wheezy" digs him too.

Guess I'd better make a beeline to the ticket office for next season...

We asked Warde to get us a winner.  Come what may...

May come.  What?

At least we beat Louisville this time…

And Santa tweets out the hire from the back row of a box in Munn… Me thinks Santa likes being the Prez of a Big Time Sports School…

I didn't want any Rose Bowl…

I didn't want any Rose Bowl gear, knowing that we were playing for the Natty and I wanted gear that said "National Champions" vs "Rose Bowl Champions".

Just bought a Rose Bowl Champ shirt yesterday because a.) they're marked down, and more importantly, b.) It represents our win in "The Granddaddy Of Them All" AND Sabin's retirement party.

Hello?  
 

What he MEANT to say was: 

“For ALL you’ve done for us in the last six years of your life, WE LOVE THE 💩 OUTTA YOU! THANK YOU, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”

If, as you say they are,…

If, as you say they are, that they are indeed bastards...

then "don't let the bastards get you down".

Or, as a mutual friend of ours likes to say, "Be better.  Not bitter."

Thanks, Jim.  Go Blue.

And, since the National Championship game next year isn't played until Jan 20, 2025, and because 2024 is a leap year, we will be National Champions for longer than any team ever has been.

379 days.

You print it. I’ll buy it. Probably gift a few as well!

I’ve watched Rod Moore’s…

I’ve watched Rod Moore’s interception over 100 times. What I’m still smh about is MHJ’s total lack of effort to either adjust to catch an under thrown pass or to at least try to prevent an INT. He simply gives up, takes his eyes off the ball and watches Moore’s diving catch, then falls over Moore’s legs. 
 

And yet that behavior still got invited to the NY Athl. Club and is discussed as an early first round pick…   A ton of talent, but heart???

I’ll second “emotionless”…

It is indeed an honor and a privilege to be with all of you (OK, well, not the trolls) in this "vast network" of Loyal Wolverines.

Forever. Go Blue.

Go to Best Buy.  Spend that money on a BIG TV and surround sound speakers.

Sleep happily in your own bed after Michigan victory.

Joy over beating Alabama:  Priceless

More props for JJ indeed. …

More props for JJ indeed.  Here's what he said about Zinter's injury:

“When it happened, I looked back and Zak was screaming and (right tackle) Karsen (Barnhart) was literally holding (Zinter’s) foot as it was just limp,” McCarthy said. “It was a sight I don’t wish upon anyone to see. And at that moment, seeing the look in everybody’s eyes, seeing them rally together, there was something about it. It was spiritual, honestly. It was a different drive that came out of everybody after that happened because we’re doing for one of our leaders and one of the brothers we all love.”

As my dad used to say, "...touch of class!"

My guttural utterance woke…

My guttural utterance woke the 4-month-old I was holding.  I did not spike her.  I settled down and she fell asleep as I gently laid her down and then aggressively high-fived the others in the room.

Holly, the sweet Golden in my avatar, just turned 13.  She was wearing her jersey.  We celebrated when she woke up.

Such a nice afternoon it was!!

Thanks, LSA, and sorry about…

Thanks, LSA, and sorry about your dad. Lost mine 6.5 years ago and he’s on my mind every day. I like to think that’s his way of staying “in touch”, which I asked him to figure out a way to do, and he promised me that he would do his best. 

I appreciate all you do for all of us. 

Happy Thanksgiving. 

Go Blue!

My avatar dog is Holly. A decent frisbee catcher, but prefers “keep away” to retrieving and returning. 

Our first dog Emily won multiple blue ribbons at dog frisbee events.  If only we didn’t live in Connecticut she would have been an awesome addition to A2 halftimes, as seen above.

Woah, Nellie!

XM...thanks for sharing.  It's the day we sign up for everytime we welcome another sweet pup into our lives.  

My avatar is Holly when she was about 8 mos. old.  That pic was taken in front of Community High School, just south of Zingerman's and across the street from the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market.  

She just turned 12.  The jersey still fits her, and she has proudly worn it for many games.  After "shake", the next thing I taught her was "High Five", and we've been doing a lot of those over the past couple of seasons.

Two repaired ACL's, cancer surgery, ear hematomas, and enough vet bills to have put her through UM (even with out-of-state tuition).  We've moved to Texas, so she's enjoying laying by the pool more than she ever enjoyed lingering out in the snow of Michigan.  But she runs the beach in Mackinaw City every summer, and she'll one day join Emily and Chloe, who's ashes are buried underneath the tree by the beach that they all loved to run.

I knew I'd need a kleenex or two when I saw the title...  and, if there ain't dogs, it's the wrong Heaven. 

God Bless you...and Maude.

Sparty wifey and me love our sleep number so much we got a second for the guest room. No need for the fancy adjustable frame. And (no politics here...just a recommendation) a MyPillow will change your life. Giza Dream sheets too.

I’ve been in HR for 38 years. Your two choices are before you. I believe the prospective employer will understand and respect that your search is confidential. If not, it tells you much about them. If you want to oblige them, tell your current boss first. It’s a free market and you’re a free agent...if current boss wants to keep you, the ball will be in his court. Totally your call. Best of luck.

I didn’t think Saturday could get any better. Attended the game with my dad’s 88 year old best man - class of ‘51. Sat in the Stadium club for the first time.

And then THAT game. 

And then YOU writing this great recap!  

GO BLUE AND GO ACE!!!

 

 

When did NBC buy ESPN? ...totally lopsided call. Those two were deep in the tank for ND, but misidentified players and coaches throughout. Best example was the call of our third goal...”Michigan is not dead yet.” Nice...
