I've got places to go and people to annoy. I'll get my comment in early since I won't be back from the game and partying 'til Sunday. I didn't want to be the last person commenting on the Buckeyes loss so -- I can't believe tUOS blew the big one again. How could they let USC score (fill in the blank) points? And Tressel and Pryor gave the excuse of (fill in the blank) for losing the game. The Buckeyes really gave up in the (fill in the quarter). At least they'll reload again next year with (fill in the number) 5-star recruits.

I'm hoping that our first half team shows up today and not last week's second half team.

It's going to be a beautiful day weather wise.

Was out and about last night. Lloyd and some football alum dined at the local chop house.
Domer fans were around but respectful. Nice change.
And a lot of returning alumni guys at the bars trying to relive their college days.

Me love Ann Arbor
GO BLUE
BEAT THE IRISH

T9,
I was NOT reliving my college days. I was simply trying to show the "girls" the way we used to do "things" back in the day.

It was solely educational.

TitleIX said...

ooooohhhh


btw--Matt Millen calling the game?!
I'm so sorry for those of you watching at home.....

Andy said...

Ouch.

I am going to need to figure out a way to get my XM radio local broadcast synched with the TV

Andy said...

Yeah, the house to myself all day!

I have just decided for the early game I am going watch CMU/Sparty, and count the number of times ESPN shows Mark Dantonio with a scowl on his face.

Fire UP Chips !!!!!

That's my story & I'm sticking to it.

Andy said...

Sparty up 10-6 into the 2nd quarter. Central driving for the lead.

Now that Sam Bradford is hurt, I think it is funny that if Keith Nichol had stayed at Oklahoma he would be starting. As it is, he is the second stringer at MSU

Andy said...

Touchdown CHIPS !!!!!
Central takes the lead 13-10.

Lots of silent crossed armed sparty fans right now.

Andy said...

Sparty marches right down and scores in about 4 plays.

17-13

Of course we are never far from their minds. As they play the MSU fight song, the word WEAK is the loudest. Idiots.

Andy said...

Central just tied it at 20 as the 4th quarter starts.

LeFevour is pretty good. I hope we don't end up seeing him in the Motor City Bowl.

Andy said...

Between the 2 Sparty qbs (Cousins and Nichol), Cousins is BY FAR the better qb.

It seems like every time central has them stopped, he pulls a 3rd down conversion out of his ass.

Sparty driving with 10 minutes left.

Jailbird Winston has been inserted as the RB

Andy said...

Central down 20-27 scored a td with 32 seconds left. Went for 2 and the win. Ball caught out of bounds. Sparty fans celebrating like they just beat USC.

I am not impressed.

Andy said...

Not so fast....

Chips recover the onside kick. Moving into FG range. They have a shot.

Andy said...

8 seconds left, 47 yard fg for CMU. missed. But sparty was offsides.

42 yard attempt coming up

Andy said...

He MADE it (barely)

Central has the lead with 3 seconds left.
Sparty is stunned.

Andy said...

Game over. Central wins 29-27.

How does THAT taste Sparty ?

Andy said...

ND takes ball and marches down the field. Missed fg. Defense needs to tighten up.

Andy said...

We caught a punt against Notre Dame!!!!!

Andy said...

HAIL YES !!!!

Touchdown Minor

srudoff said...

looks like there was no dropoff at all from morgan trent leaving. still horrible at defending plus receivers

Andy said...

ND takes 17-14 lead. Our D looks overmatched. It may be a long game.

Jim said...

It feels like a long game...even with the lead.

I was really excited to see that the game was not being broadcast on the ND Network, but Millen is brutal.

Am I crazy, or is it just not an option to decline a dead ball foul like delay of game?

Jim said...

How cool is it that the Forciers don't like the Clausens?

Andy said...

WOW

Jim said...

Order my Forcier jersey right now.

Jim said...

Lou Holtz looks like he wants to puke.

I don't know which announcer it was but one of them compared Clausen to Tom Brady during the game and I almost threw up. If I could listen to it on the radio here I would have.
