Make Way for Quarterbacks--OR Bet It Smells in that Submarine Right About Now
Welcome to the Official 21 Days to Go Post from yours truly, the Official Shirtless Harbaugh and Randomness Instigator Expert (not-so-special to mgoblog)!
Whew, well, I don't know about you kids but the concept of "the submarine" keeps, um surfacing in my well-established vivid imagination.
I mean, seriously, James, that was sort of an odd metaphor for your media-less, open-practice-verboten style of "back-to-school season." I get it though. You're kind of like that guy on the phone with the professional hostage negotiator who says "bring me 5 million dollars (a year), Nike uniforms, helmets with stickers, a juice box from juice box guy
.....AND a submarine painted maize and blue or the short kid gets a noogie." It's cool. We bow to your (potential) genius.
But you know me, Jim. My imagination is running rampant right now picturing super-close quarters, low oxygen levels and sweaty socks dudes.
I guess I should let it go, of course. I know you're not REALLY in a submarine or anything. And I definitely think getting your bad awesome self out of the limelight so as to focus on the real goal here is crucial, given the 21-days-to-go thing aforementioned.
While I shall leave the deep dive roster evaluation and breakdowns to the real experts, I will say I am terribly intrigued by the quarterback drama no doubt playing itself out as we speak, we with our frosty glasses of iced tea and views of a lovely Michigan summer day. I hear both Shane Morris and that Iowa kid are gunning for the crucial spot--the only spot that really matters in this, the rebuilding millennium for the Block iMage in the eyes of football fans and deep-pocketed alums everywhere.
I also hear there is no shortage of cockiness on the part of either young man--something we all value in a guy who will hoist the team on his Addidas-clad shoulders in a few short days. And I can just imagine the efforts undertaken to impress the seemingly unimpress-able (and one assumes shirt-clad) Superstar On The Sidelines. My plot bunnies are hopping around like mad, I'll tell you.
On the one hand, the known known: Shane Ow My Head Hurts Coach Morris. He gets the boy-next-door vote to be sure, for a lot of reasons. And I'm that kids mama and I'm all "WTF?" last year.
And of course, Jake Hawkie Ruddock. The kid who makes me wish I had an excuse to need a pediatrician in a few years.
What I really wanna know? Which one of you jokers did THIS to the U of M Athletics Facebook site! Funny stuff boys. And I know funny stuff when I see it.
Big booty splits INDEED! Are those like "big boy pants?"
But I digress....and don't say you didn't enjoy it.
There are others more or less in the running to be the coach on the field for our man Jimmy. Including a real scary Tom Brady doppelgänger. But we know, at this moment, if they're not out flexing for Liz's imagination, the real battle is occurring between Shane and Jake. And frankly, it's gonna make for one exciting season!
Let the countdown clocks continue...and Liz's overactive imagination continue to conjure what it will...as we prepare for the 2nd Coming...a craft beer firmly in hand!
Go Blue!
