Michigan vs. Mac-n-Miami

Thought Starters:

1. I didn't see a lot of the game (Hold the Calls - I have a life and there were things that needed to get done), but it's apparent to me that Thre-ridan is going to be the QB for the rest of the season. I can't remember being this lame at this position since 1984 when Jimmy Harbaugh went down and we suffered through Chris Zurbrug and another QB whose name escapes me as we befuddled our way to 6-6...
2. Thank God for raw talent....McGuffie looked natural out there and if he had ANY KIND OF OFFENSIVE LINE to run BEHIND, he might actually look a whole lot better....
3. There were moments that I thought the Defense was good and there was the rest of the time....
4. I did see the Domers vs. San Diego State....Chuck Long should have been able to pull off the upset but he's as bad a clock manager as a coach as he was when he was a QB....
5. Did anyone happen to catch the early line on Michigan vs. Domers (JEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS!) BEFORE the Domers played? Yep - Michigan was getting 8.5 - that is, the Domers were 8.5 point favorites....Guess what the line is today? Michigan is giving 1 and I have seen as high as 3...Go Figure. And the Domers are supposed to win 9 to 11 games this season according to Wuzzles....
6. Rich Rod is starting to wear thin on my nerves with some of the stuff he says in the press...Everyone likes winning ugly, but you don't talk about it. Your supposed to say a win's a win and leave it at that....
7. If any more offensive lineman go down...Well...We might be looking at dressing two guys in one O-line uniform and see if we can't figure out how to make them play in tandem...
8. What if Rich Rod CAN'T Get the talent he needs to run this offense....What then?

Up Next: Domers (JEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS!)

Now, I am normally much more animated during a Big Game week such as this...But when you have two teams that are offensively trying to figure out which way the jock strap goes - to protect the goods or catch the load of crap that's getting knocked out of them on every play. Well....You can see why it's a little hard to get "excited."

That being said - I am not giving anything to the Domers - Jeez, I hate these guys! - this year. They are going to have to earn it. And based on what I have seen out of them so far, it's going to take them awhile to earn anything. I can respect the fact that your defense isn't that great, but com'on, I thought Wuzzles was some offensive genius. I am beginning to think the whole Brady Quinn Years were luck - a lot of it....

By the Way - I was watching the game at home and when Wuzzles went on the field to attend to an injured player, I thought my set had miraculously transformed itself into a WIDESCREEN - If you get my not-so-subtle drift...Does that guy realize how LARGE he is? You would think just walking around and having to attend practice would somehow thin him down a little, wouldn't you?

And whenever there is an 11.5 POINT SWING IN THE SPREAD - you can BET that Vegas sees something in one of the teams they like or DON'T Like....So, you do the math...

Around The Globe

Spartry - You handled your MAC team well....Ringer looks like he get's stronger as the game goes on....
SUCKEYES: Ahem.....Ahem...AHEM! Ohio U? Really? I mean, this game was close in the 4th quarter.. Is anyone down in Suckeye land paying attention? Or was this all part of the grand illusion to let the Rubbers think you aren't that good....Or maybe without Beanie you aren't that good....Hmmmmm.....Big Game Saturday..
GATORLAND - Miami hung with you early, but the Gator Spirit prevailed. I wouldn't want to play Miami in a couple of years, however...
WVU - OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!! East Carolina (That's Conference USA, Folks) will be the BCS buster of the year. I watched a lot of that game and those guys took WVU to task...Maybe Rich Rod is a better game coach than I gave him credit for, but still....EARLY PREDICTION: One of the Hot Seat Coaches gets the early boot and THAT SCHOOL goes after Skip Holz...
Cornsuckers: Congrats. Beating San Jose State shouldn't be that easy....But this game was close in the 4th quarter...
BIG 12: An UNDEFEATED Week....That ain't bad...
PAC 10: I like the fact that you start playing conference games early...It was unfortunate to see Washington go down the way they did...Please,PLEASE Mr. Referee, don't blow that whistle when the outcome is on the line. If you didn't see how BYU won, well, let's just say the new celebration rule will get a lot of review this week in a lot of locker rooms.
SEC: Spurrier lost to Vanderbilt - AGAIN!!! That's unbelievable and moves the Ole Ball Coach up one notch on the hot seat Ladder...Look for South Carolina to be the FIRST school to interview Skip Holtz...

GAMES OF THE WEEK

MICHIGAN vs. Domers - One of the worst matchups in this rivalries storied history...Someone gets to steal a win here.

USC - OSU: Well - It's time. Time to see how good the Rubbers are and how bad the Suckeyes are without Beany...

HOT SEAT:

1. Wuzzles. Has to Be. How long can the fans look the other way?
2. Spurrier. It's going to be a race between South Carolina and the Domers to get Lou Holtz's kid from East Carolina. I predict that South Carolina cracks first or Spurrier quits before Wuzzles...
3. Tommy Bowden - have they gotten over the loss to Alabama yet?
4. Fullmer - Can't lose to a down UCLA Team
5. Satan - give him time...It's all great right now - but two special team touchdowns to beat lowly Tulane isn't going to keep the tide faithful very happy...
6. Getting Warm - Willingham. Again, a class guy that can't seem to get a break......Washington might pull the rug out from everyone and chase Holtz...

Until Victory over the Domers Next Week!
