I Can't Let Things Go

I think I have evolved as a Michigan football fan in recent years. I used to get no feeling other than relief when Michigan defeated "little brother" rival Michigan State. Something has happened over the past five years. I now take great enjoyment over beating Michigan State, especially when MSU finds new and amazing ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Surprisingly, MSU players never learn how to finish. Once again, they were jawing about how great it was to finally beat Michigan when they took a ten point lead with seven minutes to play. Um, HELLO!?!?!?

Why do I take great pride in watching the football team break the hearts of Spartan fans all over the state of Michigan? Simple. I cannot let go of the 2001 loss. If we don't get screwed in that game, Michigan wins the Big Ten during my senior year and I am not once again celebrating a New Year at Disney World.

Thievery

I still want revenge, six years later, but I must say that this morning IT'S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!! :)

On an unrelated note, it looks like tradition has found it's way back to Yost Ice Arena, courtesy of former hockey band director Jason Smigell. Smigell brought his high school band in to Yost to fill in for a game against Boston U last weekend since the hockey band was occupied with the football game that day. It's nice to see the hockey band director dance once again, even if the dance moves are as "white" as they were back in 2000.
