Good afternoon, everybody. How are we holding up?

We are just a few short hours away from kickoff in South Bend, but our first game thread of the season is live!

Comment below all your thoughts, opinions, concerns, hatred for non-holding calls on Rashan Gary, anything your heart desires. Just please be respectful of other people’s thoughts and opinions.

Let’s get to some important information you need to know.

Today’s question: Will the Wolverines win their first road game against a ranked opponent since 2006? It’s been a long, long time since that has happened, which is so strange to think about, but it would be a huge victory for the program and would help set the tone for what could be a great 2018 season.

I’ll be in the stands for this one, but other MnB contributors will be here with you.
