Heroes of Hockeytown

Ah, he's a really humble guy normally. That was a pretty devastating blow to him; his shot at the title (should be) gone, and it's not every season you go 11-0. I'm sure the frustration level just boiled over, and I wouldn't hold it against him. Did he make a comment after the game? Because it's his job to blow his top on every call during the game.

I knew I was going to have another bad day when I turned the assholes game on. Losers threw a pick in the redzone after special teams blocked a punt. And against the Cardinals, too. What ******* losers, god.

Trust me, that's all you'll ever be able to do, imagine it.

Dear god, stop. That is so depressing.

Michigan's defense chokes. What a letdown. Wells and Pittman right up the middle... and then Shawn Crable comes up with the dumbest play of his life. The defense finally stands up and makes a stop (as opposed to Ohio's center just snapping the ball wherever) and he takes an egregious penalty to seal the deal. I bet it was a real nice game and everything, but right now it's just gut-wrenching, awful stuff. Ugh... As weird as it sounds, I'm going to hate seeing the Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. Well, congrats to Troy Smith and the Buckeyes. They outplayed Michigan and deserved to win.

Oh god, what awful news on the eve of the big one. Rest in peace, Bo.

What's the rush? Just two days, sixteen hours, fifty-four minutes, forty-five seconds to go.

A victory in last year's BS Bowl is hardly something to be proud of.

All aboard the McFadden bandwagon while we wait for Armageddon! Also, that Dead Schembechlers stuff is shameful, but at least Bo is able to be the bigger man and laugh it off.

Bingo! The run game: 70% of the time, it works all the time. And because it's Mike Hart taking the handoff, that poor ball will never again know what the ground looks like, no fear that a run attempt will be a turnover; or usually even be negative/no gain, like the treacherous forward pass. Which will be the big reason why Michigan upsets Ohio State this Saturday: run game for the win.

I don't know what the NCAA was thinking, putting this game on Nov. 18th. What do they expect us to do all week long?!!

Oh man, that is so angsty teenager. Get back to Squaresville, man, with the rest of the "lol horseshoe" fans.

^^^ Truth. Prescott Burgess's injury is cause for concern, however. But surely, Antonio Pittman does not strike fear into the heart of the Wolverine defense. Their passing game will still be effective, but obviously not for the piles of TDs they've become accustomed to. On the flip side of the ball, Hart won't have any problems holding up his end of the bargain. It's up to Manningham to get up to speed to open up the passing game, though. It'll be a close one, but defense will win the day. Carr's demons against the Tressel-led Buckeyes will be exorcised, and we'll see our boys in Arizona this January.

Another quality loss for the Lions. Watching the Saturday night game on NBC, and I can't believe that the Giants don't have anyone better than (former Lion) R.W. McQuarters to cover Muhsin Muhammad, and TO a few weeks ago.

We're not talking about the NFL, though. Running QBs are always much, much, much more successful in college football. So, you know, I sure wouldn't mind one wearing the maize and blue someday. Of course, I'm more than happy and glad that we have a quality pocket passer like Henne on our side for this and next year.

I don't think Lloyd would have any complaints about altering his game plan to accommodate a dominant running QB.

What does that mean? Michigan's system is "hand the ball off to the RB a lot." There's no pass Henne can make that Smith can't. Smith would certainly change an aspect our current system, which sits at "don't run Chad because you're not very good at it."

Nothing can stop Armageddon now.

Oh man. The BCS is f***ed.

Louisville-Rutgers in a half hour. Cardinals can stamp their ticket to Glendale with a win tonight.

Kitna's quietly having a great season, really. Number 5 in passing yards, top 10 completion percentage, and he's not doing too bad in TDs and QB rating either. Far from the best quarterback in the league, but he's a lot better than I thought he was when he came to Detroit.

After fifty years of futility, this kind of reaction has become the default, I'm afraid. Lions have a tough road ahead of them: SF, Miami, Arizona. They've already damaged their first overall chances with the upset today; it's gonna be a challenge to get through those games without picking up another W. But I believe in you Lions! 2-14! 2-14!

I was rapping with my homeboy this morning during breakfast--Lang, that is--and he said he's heard a lot of rumblings about this sort of move. He thinks it's BS. The team kept it quiet, but Lang and Muffin got into a scrap at practice the other day; there's definitely some bad blood flowing here. He says that kids a little too cocky for his own good, even if he is on pace for the Calder. I don't wanna hate on my bro, but he's got a pretty wicked shiner. Says Muffin throws a hell of a left hook.

Apparently I won't even be able to watch the game tomorrow thanks to ESPN. This whole fiasco is out and out retarded. ESPN = Evil Empire. They must be stopped.

Gah, sucks that there's a Wings game tomorrow. I'll probably put that one aside for commercials and watch Louisville-WVU. Those kind of match ups only come along once in a long while, don't wanna miss it.
