Michigan loses to Utah, 25-23
As most of you know, I am currently a student at the University of Michigan. Last year, I made a post after the horrific loss to Appalachian State, which still hurts to this day. Anyways, I knew this was going to be a rough season adjusting to a new coach, the spread offense, and a bunch of new players in key positions. I had just hoped that the season opener would go smoothly. Sadly, that did not happen as the Wolverines lost 25-23. Now I’m not going to talk about the game specifics because you can read any of these great blogs if you want to get their opinions on the action. I just wanted to comment that this loss sucks and then the cab I was using to get back to my apartment because I’m on crutches got in a minor car accident so that was a great finish to the evening.
However, I must admit that my seats aren’t too shabby. Row 20. Section 25. Aisle seat. I was sitting on the 21 yard line. Glorious.
So how did I cheer myself up after the game? I popped in the 2008 Stanley Cup Champs DVD and realized how much I miss hockey! Only 24 more days until the Wings first preseason game!

Ouch, indeed. (GREAT SEATS, BTW!). I miss my Michigan football - and we were glued to the couch for yesterday’s game. Sigh.

At least it wasn’t a blow out. They looked really good at times. Really bad at times too though. Still, they looked better than they did against Notre Dame last year.

Sarah- Despite the loss, I can’t complain with the seats and the great atmosphere. I just love Saturdays at the Big House (especially when they are nice and sunny like this week’s).
SailRacer- Definitely. And the Utes were even ranked higher than the Wolverines in a couple of preseason rankings so it’s not like we played a ridiculously easy team. Hopefully this will be the low point of the season and the team will execute better in the future. I’m not expecting the team to win every game, but I’m hoping they’ll keep the game close from the get go instead of trying to claw their way back in.
