Gameday 2010 - UConn

Spring Game 2010

Football. Finally.

I am really looking forward to watching the Spring Game tonight, even if it is on BTN tape delay. Based on what I have read, Denard Robinson has made significant improvements to become more than a wildcat runner. I would love to watch him become the star of the Michigan offense for the next 3 years.

Today should give us a good idea on if that can happen.

Edit: Loyal Spawner SiC sent this image from the stadium. It is 42 degrees.

The Michigan State Spartan basketball team invades Crisler Arena tonight. I have very low expectations, but stranger things have happened.

Big Ten Bowl Open Thread

Northwestern / Auburn at 11AM this morning in the Outback Bowl. Winner gets free Bloomin' Onions for a year. I did not watch any of Northwestern's games this year, so I have no idea what to expect.

Penn State / LSU at 1PM in the Capital One Bowl. By playing in the actual game, both teams get the advantage of not having to watch the stupid Capital One Credit Card commercials during each break. Seriously, has there ever been an advertising campaign that was any more annoying or stupid?

Ohio State / Oregon at 4PM in the Rose Bowl. My mom always told me if I can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

Gameday 2009 - Army Navy Game

I am going to be busy with yet another week of Texas High School football playoffs. If you have never watched the NAVY/ARMY game, do yourself a favor and watch. There are no NFL prospects. These guys play football simply because they love the game.

Go Navy!!!

Beat Army AGAIN

Little Big Horn Healing

I can't believe what I just witnessed.

This is bad. I have never been so down about being a Michigan fan. We went from being in complete and total control to getting blown out. All based on 2 plays that did not go our way. I refuse to become one of those people that rant and rave about coaching on the internet.

I need to take a break from this obsession. If anyone out there wants to take the wheel of this place for a couple of weeks, let me know. If T9 agrees, I will set you up as an author. I have nothing to say. I am done.

Game Day GACK.

Oh my. Epic Fail. So much head-shaking.....
Now Penn State is the real deal, and they are a great football team, but holy moly football fan---we WHIFFED on that game.
No execution. No offensive flow. No go.

I can't even really be mad. I'm mean how young are these kids??? First rain game. Crazy hype with the flyover and the opening TD, followed by complete collapse. I at least give Rich Rod credit for saying that this one was mostly on the coaches and that he was really disappointed.

4 turnovers today, which is one less than the 5 against Iowa. A safety? Molk gone. Warren and Hemingway kneecapped in one play??? oh. my.

The one shining star?? BRANDON. GRAHAM.
