For me, this weekend was the real turning point. Football season is close enough to smell. When you are as big a college football fan as I am, it really is tangible, you feel it, smell it, I've never tasted it before, maybe that means I have room to grow as a fan. The blazing summer days are winding down. On occasion the cool mornings have a crispness to them, reminiscent of fall.
I hate Winter, I hate to think about it coming and hate almost everything that reminds me it is on its way. Despite that, nothing beats a cool crisp Saturday morning. As long as I have college football to look forward to on Saturday, winter won't get to me.
This past weekend I attended Michigan Fan Day, a Michigan-palooza event where fans get to meet the players and coaches. I've never been particularly composed around famous or even relatively famous people. But good god, I shook like I had been standing outside in February in my underwear for a half hour when I was face to face with Coach Rodriguez.
I'm inviting some people over to watch the first game against Utah in two weeks. Until then I'm going to spend plenty of time on Mgoblog.com and soaking up all I can about the upcoming football season, but most importantly Michigan football!
A lot of people are talking about lowered expectations for this season in terms of wins and losses, a bit of a let down. I'm not so convinced however. What I can say is that the Michigan-Michigan State game this year promises to have a heck of a build up to it! I see Michigan doing well this year, of course, nothing could change that.
Tonight on the Big Ten Network they are showing Michigan's practice which gets my blood flowing even more.
More to come on Michigan football:)

Finally a post! I want a post on the UofM football record prior to the game vs MSU!!! =)
I guess 3-4 right now.
We need to go to a hockey game this year!
Ebomber, I'd say 3-4 is about right for MSU. Oh wait thats not what you meant.
MSU will win a lot of games prior to Michigan but will lose to Cal and will lose to Michigan, probably after leading after the third quarter.
I say UM is 5-2.
EMU will win 4 games this year, but who cares? Not me.
I care, they are green and white after all!
You have been BlogDayed, kinda like punked but nicer. This is why I am here and how it happened.
Ok, I saw a new blog at Fuelmyblog under Forum, under the Blog Café, under Introduce your blog to the world. Alessandra had posted and no one had responded. Libra to the rescue, I find that I can’t stand it if people are being ignored so I checked out her blog and liked it. I added her as a friend and hope she will do the same. On her site she had instructions for BlogDay which seemed like a very cool thing to do. So here is BlogDay.
BlogDay posting instructions:
1. Find 5 new Blogs that you find interesting
2. Notify the 5 bloggers that you are recommending them as part of BlogDay 2008
3. Write a short description of the Blogs and place a link to the recommended Blogs

5. Add the BlogDay tag using this link:
http://technorati.com/tag/BlogDay2008 and a link to the BlogDay web site at http://www.blogday.org
^^^^ What the heck is that above?!?!?!? LOL! "You've been blog punked...." Too much time on the computer I'm afraid!
By the way I've change my UM guess to 2-5 =)
Oh yeah!!! I was right =)
2-5
Soon to be 2-6
