To The 2018 Michigan Football Season: Thank You, Next

I cannot believe I am writing this today, November 24th, 2018. I was hoping I would be writing about the Michigan Football team sometime later in January, but life never works as planned, am I right?

Anyways, the season Michigan football team had, was utterly amazing, going on a ten game winning streak after a first-week loss to Notre Dame, trying to complete what we Michigan fans called the "Revenge Tour 2018." Having what was recognized as the number one defense in the country as of November 23rd. But we reached our breaking point, sitting pretty and confident ranked at the number four spot going into game twelve, we met our rival, Ohio State, in their stomping grounds for once again, "The Game."

Here in Columbus, Ohio, we fell apart, defensively, offensively, you name it. Our defense was rocked and blown wide open and we could not complete passes. We lost 62-39. You have to give it to Ohio State, they showed up ready to play and win, and today was just not our day. Congratulations.

But with that said, we have to look at the positives for the future of the team from this game. Right? This game should be used as a building block for next season. With a returning lineup, for the most part, we can only improve. We had a 10 game winning streak, until this point, so we do have a strong lineup. It was just a bad day. This game should be looked back at, now and in the future, with pain, regret, and want for revenge. This type of defeat should never ever be allowed to happen again.

We can change our game plan next year. We can change our offensive tactics and defensive strategies. We can enact new plays. We can come back stronger and better than ever. There is more than enough room for improvement. In order to succeed, you need to fail, and this is indeed this Michigan football team's failure. But we are not done. We are done for our run for this 2018 season, but not done as a football program. We will say "Thank you, next" to this past season, and look forward to next year's fruitful season. Do not count out the Wolverines.

We are the leaders and the best. We are the champions of the West. We hail to Michigan.

See you next year in the Big Ten Championship and National Championship. And of course, the Big House for our revenge to Ohio State in "The Game." Next year will be the year for Michigan.

As always, GO BLUE.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
