Dear Warrior Nation,


It's Thursday night and the game is closer than ever. We all filtered through the weight room this morning and got some good lifting, but mainly stretching in. Coach Harker, Coach Cook, and Coach Brandon (The Rookie), helped out a lot as we polished up for the game on Saturday. Practice today is special teams oriented and we mainly focus on smoothing out any ripples in the game plan.

Thursday is the day where after practice you start feeling the excitement for the game more than you have all week. For me, I feel like skipping Friday completely and just playing the game ASAP. The adrenaline is hard to hold in for another day.

The locker room was loose today, with Matt "The Cat" Shango keeping things light. Ed Sanders, Travis Campbell, and I were cracking jokes before practice and it got the day started off on a good note. Everyobdy was having a good time especially with the Cecile O'Neal! screams...(You had to be there) After Pat Cecile led us in our Warrior Jacks, we focused up and got down to business.

Northern Michigan is definitely a great team and they are not someone we will take lightly. It will take all of us focused on every play to be successful. Tomorrow we will wake up early and hop on the bus to start our trek up North. Our trip will be memorable, and coming home with a W is what we plan on doing.

As I sit here glancing at the clock, I realize it's almost time for "The Office", and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." If you haven't seen those shows, get on it!

Well, I have to go now. I just remembered I told my friend Joe I'd meet him about 25 min ago... Next time I'm typing one of these, we will be done with our game and on our way back to Detroit. If it ends up coming down to a FG... I'll be ready.

See you tomorrow People!
