You have to play the opponent more than once to make it a rivalry . . . And you can’t beat the opponent so badly in the first game that the second one doesn’t have any meaning because the fans won’t care. And, you need both teams to take it very seriously because that’s what makes it a rivalry! Well, cancer is serious, and I know you all care.
This week I’m preparing for a Rivalry Game. The opponent brings some serious competition and everyone cares. But let’s be very very clear, my team is ready! Since we discovered the cancerous lymph node 4 weeks ago, I have been preparing for this week.
In Columbus, OH, the week before the UM vs OSU Game, “The Game” takes center stage. The mood and the mantra are all about winning and crushing the opponent. For me, this is a Michigan week and It is no different . . . the mood and the mantra are to #crushit.

Nice to hear from you! Make sure Beth has a tailgate planned for the big game 🙂
Continue to impose your will on it like the Buckeyes have done on their rivals and you will crushit! Thanks for being a great role model for me and others as we crushit. Take care – in my prayers always. Ned
Ned we are in this together! Thanks for the note and of course, the same goes for you. “Just a flesh wound”
Agree with Ned, impose your will on this thing once and for all. Will be thinking about you next week.
