The season is quickly approaching.  If you’re anything like me and do not live in Ann Arbor, then now is a great time to sit down with the schedule and figure out when it makes sense to make the joyous trek up north (north for me anyway!) to Ann Arbor.  Not only do I wish I could make it up to Ann Arbor for every Michigan home game, but it’d be great to have a sportsbook at my fingertips as I would in Las Vegas (I use www.partycasino.com most of the CFB weekends when not in Vegas, which is typically every weekend).

At any rate, after a fantastic and redemptive 2011 season for Michigan fans, 2012 proves to be a season full of dramatics.  Opening with the defending national champs will set the stage for what kind of team we are looking at for the 12 game regular season stretch.  Beat Alabama – okay let’s have some fun, turn on ESPN, and watch them gush over Brady Hoke, Denard Robinson, and the rest of this Michigan team.  Lose to Alabama?  Well, it depends by how much and in what fashion.

Michigan’s coaching staff proved themselves enough last year, especially defensively, indicating that Michigan fans can once again raise up their expectations and not be completely let down a la 2007 or more recently 2010.

September 1st can’t come fast enough…
