After the Goldrush


So... the spring game has come and gone. We're in the throes of recruiting, but to be honest I don't really care about that shit until the class starts to take a bit more shape. So where does that leave us? Well, here. We're 55 days from the start of the season with nothing but summer practice to look forward to in the Michigan football world.

This is, of course, good. There is no period quite this long in between major events in college football and downtime is necessary in every fan/team relationship to keep it from getting too stale. But it's also extremely boring. Aside from baseball, which I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of, sports is kind of dead from the middle of June until Labor Day.

So... the point is, enjoy the summer while it lasts. If you're a Michigan fan, odds are you live somewhere in the shit-hole they call the Upper Midwest. They are three months out of the year where you get to go outside and enjoy yourself. Do it. Especially if the alternative is posting about "ZOMG TATE = BCS" on the internet.
