Go Blue Saturday

Tomorrow starts an important new day. It is the start of the 2006 college football season and another round of cheering on the maize and BLUE.

Right now, everything is possible. Michigan could go undefeated, gain the Big 10 title, and maybe win the National Championship. It could happen.

I just got a call from best friend, Unka’ Tim. He is making his way to the game with a car loaded for tailgating. If you have never been to a big, college football game it is worth it at least once. I enjoy hanging out near the band building listening to the drum corp whip the crowd into a frenzy. I get a thrill joining the crowd marching behind the band up to the Big House. I like watching the teams rush the field and hearing the crowd grow crazy. The first day of Michigan football is a huge day in the year because it is full of football glory.

I hope the Wolverine D plays tough for all four quarters. I’d like to see a strong running game to support an exciting passing attack. I want to witness Michigan football at its best.

More than anything, I want this 2006 UofM team to prove that last season was just an anomaly. I trust this team is motivated to prove to the rest of the college football world that last year was an aberration.

Tomorrow, I wear the Blue hat with the big, maize ‘M’ and the Girlie will sing “Hail to the Victors” with me at each touchdown. And the Boy and I might throw some passes at half-time. Life is good again. Football is back.

Go Blue!
