As I shared wi...Well said my fiend. Well said... <br /><br />As I shared with all the members of our private college football email group, these are very trying times for Michigan alumni and fans around the world. My heart is heavy these days. My soul is somber. But my dedication and admiration for Michigan football has never been stronger. Deep down inside, I know that we will turn this around and come out on top when the transition is over. Honestly, I love to see the fight in Michigan fans during these difficult times. We are kicking and screaming. There is no sticking our head in the sand. We are Michigan. We have 130 beloved years of tradition to keep us standing tall and strong. I do not mean to indicate this will be easy. I to am burned out and demoralized after the last two seasons. I'm on the ledge. I'm tempted to drive my car into a bridge embankment. But this is test and an opportunity to prove our faith. I will continue to support R2. I continue to stand by the Program. I tune in for every game. I will make my annual pilgrimage back to Ann Arbor this fall to watch our men take the field against OSU - win or lose. When that season ticket renewal package comes in the mail this spring, it will once again be my number one priority to fill it out and get it back to the Athletic Department as soon as possible. <br /><br />And I will bury that jersey, my time capsule. As I said, in the likely even that we lose the next two games this season and do not become bowl eligible, I will be holding a UM FOOTBALL JERSEY burial ceremony in my back yard upon my return to Charleston after the Thanksgiving holiday. My beloved No. 1 Jersey will be unearthed at some point down the road when we qualify for our next BCS game one day. That maybe one year, or ten years. We shall see. I will carefully select the spot. I will mark the site with an elaborate stone. I will take all reasonable steps to make certain the Jersey is handled with the utmost respect. The Jersey will be sealed tightly in a water proof container so as to protect it from the elements. In the container I will place a copy of the fight song, and a picture of my closest college brethren from this year's reunion. <br /><br />As for the “The Bitter People," always negative all the time, one commenter on mgoblog said it best: “If you don't have the stomach to root for this program when the chips are down, then go cheer for someone else for a few years. We'll let you know when you can come back. I promise."Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116722816421774185noreply@blogger.com
