Obligatory Michigan season opener blog post

There has been only one other time in recent memory that I have reproduced an entire blog post from another person's blog here on Catch Up Lady.  Today is the second.   The M Zone College Football Forum has a post up right now that summarizes all my feelings about the upcoming Michigan season opener against Mount Holyoke Appalachian State:

The official Appalachian State website has a poll up regarding their game this weekend against Michigan. The "Coca-Cola Fan Poll" asks the following:

Which area will be most critical for the Mountaineers in the Sept. 1 football opener at Michigan?
A) ASU offense vs. U-M defense
B) ASU defense vs. U-M offense
C) Special Teams

"Most critical," as in what it will take for Appy State to win? Now, while I admire their moxie, let's me honest, folks,: none of those answers should make a difference. But, this being the MZone, we've come up with some other poll answers which they forgot to include that could actually turn the tide in ASU's favor...

D) Entire U-M team oversleeps
E) ASU has nude photos of Lloyd Carr and a group of young Asian boys
F) Instead of practicing this week, U-M forced to watch ASU Hot! Hot! Hot! video 24/7
G) The game is played in an alternate universe where U-M is a 1-AA team and ASU is winningest major college program of all time
H) Jim Herrrrmannnn returns to coach U-M defense
I) ASU comes out wearing OSU replica uniforms
J) Michigan fans forget to shake their keys thus negating the jet-like noise of the Michigan Stadium home field advantage.
K) King Leonidas comes back from the dead to QB the Mountaineers

Bravo.  Really, I could not have done that better myself.  Go Blue!  May God (and Bo) watch over us this season. 

PS - If anyone wants to give me some OSU tickets that would be great.  My boyfriend is operating under the delusion that we can somehow secure tickets to this game without selling our kidneys on the black market.

PPS - As if Appy needed another blow to their confidence, the bumbling Miss Teen South Carolina proudly announced on the Today Show that she will become a Mountaineer this fall.

9/4 EDIT:  Oh the HUMANITY!!!!  Jesus fucking Christ!!!! Oh my god.  Somebody put me out of my misery.

I just happened across your blog mid-game. A little over confident, don't you think?
Go APPS!

To Kirkland Warbler,
You warbled too soon. The Mountaineers stuck it to you with southern grits. I can hear the folks in East Lansing and Columbus all the way down here. Too bad Y'ALL lost. Could this be a new rivalry?

Oh, the laughter from everywhere in the nation - particularly Ohio - where I hear ASU gear is pretty hot about now.

Thank you, Michigan, for choking so heavily and allowing Florida to pass you in the Top 25! Oh wait - how did the AP put it in today's headline? Something like "Thud! Michigan Drops Out of AP Top 25." Adios, pendejos.

I hate to gloat - but - not really - I love it!

Dear Don,
I hate you.

Dear Mr. Maddux,
Thanks for dropping by! Hope you all are doing well down in TN. :) Appy State just has to win 356 more games before snatching our title of winningest college football team in history. Let's touch base again in 2040...
Best,
Kaitlyn

Dear Jetpacks,
I look forward to never reading your blog again. You are dead to me.
Best,

Catch Up Lady:

I am sorry you feel this way. I used to be bitter like you until I discovered God. Can I leave you a tract and invite you to accept Bo Schembechler as your personal lord and savior?

No? Then how about Urban Meyer?

Smartass. :)
