Withdrawal

December 12th, 2006 · 4 Comments

Although my job continues to push my daily life forward at a feverish pace, I’ve recently discovered some gaping holes in other areas of my life. Most noticeably, I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms from…
College Football
This past Saturday, I sat on the couch for a good 6 hours, flipping channels without rhyme or reason. Something [...]

A Penn State fan, a Notre Dame fan, and a Michigan fan walk into a Taco Bell…

December 5th, 2006 · 10 Comments

No, that’s not the beginning of a joke. Its a true story, one that ends with the Penn State fan saying “Urban Meyer….what a fucking joke. I guess we’ll have to root for OSU.”
And as I sat there alone (the two random fans having taken their food to go), eating the last of [...]

Sigh

November 20th, 2006 · 4 Comments

A surprisingly nice (I didn’t answer the phone because I expected worse) voicemail from my Ohio State friend after Saturday’s game:
Just calling you to congratulate you on a well played game. We came up on top but you should feel proud for your boys for keeping it close.
I won’t talk much else about the [...]

Let’s Do It For Bo

November 17th, 2006 · Comments Off

Michigan football coaching legend Bo Schembechler died earlier today. This is surreal. My head is going to explode.

Flashback, Looking Forward

November 17th, 2006 · 2 Comments

Senior Year. A time to enjoy life. A time to reflect back on the previous three years of school. And a time to make the most of the final 8 months. Some of my best memories from college are from my senior year- my 21st birthday, the creation of Groove, my house [...]

Now Let’s Make It An Amendment!

November 8th, 2006 · 3 Comments

With all the hoopla surrounding yesterday’s elections, it is important that we, as citizens of these great United States, reflect back on the actions taken by our legislative branch in the last few years.
Of course, there are the obvious topics to consider, such as the Patriot Act, gay rights, abortion, stem cells, the war on [...]

My Other Undefeated Team

October 31st, 2006 · 7 Comments

With all the excitement that’s been going on over the last 9 weeks with Michigan Football, I’ve completely ignored another team that’s been having a ridiculously unexpected undefeated season this fall: my co-ed charity-league two-hand-touch football team.
I play on a team in ZogSports, a grown-up version of the intramural sports you might’ve played in college, [...]

I Heart Ann Arbor

October 24th, 2006 · 15 Comments

[This is my third extremely lengthy recap of a Michigan Football road trip. They are starting to wear me out, so I apologize if all of the stories don't appear coherent or are uninteresting. I'm too lazy to try to keep re-editing this anymore.

The Midnight Ride…

The Midnight Ride…
I’m alive and well. But barely.
This is going to be another lengthy road trip recap, so if you don’t feel like reading it all, here’s the story in a nutshell:
Travelled to Penn State in an RV, drank on the way, hit up the bars on Friday night, tailgated all day Saturday, pooped [...]

Ann Arbor Or Bust

September 21st, 2006 · 11 Comments

I just took off for my weekend road trip to Ann Arbor with Gerard, Turner, and Briggs. We’ve got a long drive ahead of us, and I’m going to try to liveblog along the way.
Update: So although the live blogging thing was neat, it really was a pain in the ass to stop what I [...]
