Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? WHAT? It's already Over?! Otherwise Entitled: Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen!

Yes, I'm talking about Michigan Football.

Now I know there is a large percentage of you out there that don't even subscribe to football. And I know that there's probably an even greater percentage of you that, due to proximity in the heart of Silicon Valley, are die-hard PAC-10 fans. And I know that there's an even greater percentage out there of PAC-10 and BIG-10 fans who are not even losing one wink of sleep over this. Who am I kidding?! You're probably losing sleep because your out there laughing your head off and still celebrating over Michigan's performance during the last 2 games.

But alas, for those of us with Maize and Blue in our blood, it is a sad, sad moment indeed. With great anticipation we look forward to each season. Sure, the BIG-10 may not be so big out here on the West Coast but believe me, there are plenty of Michigan transplants out here to have made an impact in a variety of ways (Google) and bond together to bask in the glory of a great fall football season. Especially when we start out the season ranked #5.

This was also to be a banner season because I specifically planned an autumn trip to visit family and friends - DURING football season. I made sure I would be there to see my first game back at The Big House in about 10 years (is it that many already?)! I was going to stroll around campus noting the many changes to Central Campus, see the Diag & good 'ol MCB, State Street, etc. I was going to get my unbelievable deli delights from Zingerman's. I was going to head over to hear the marching band warm-up before the game and have a great tailgate with a best friend. Then I was going to enter the stadium with about 107,500 other people who were going to cheer The Victors on to - what else? - Victory!!
