Humility, or being humble, is the defining characteristic of an unpretentious and modest person, someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others.
Okay – I get it now. Sometimes, no matter how good you think your program or team has been “HISTORICALLY”, things can change in a New York Minute….The thing is, I am not even sure how it got this bad this quickly. I understand that there are players that left and transferred, etc, but, come on, this is ridiculous. You mean to tell me we don’t have enough talent to at least BE COMPETITIVE against a 1-4 MAC team that Ball State hung 30 points on the week before?
I am not even going to comment on this game except to say that I felt things were going bad in the 3rd quarter and we were on a train wreck waiting to happen…You know that Kevin Bacon Clip from “She’s Having a Baby” when his wife tells him she stopped taking the pill? That’s what I felt like…..
Sometimes when I am walking out of the stadium, I listen to the fans. They weren’t saying much. Then we listened at to some of the post game at the tailgate until I got sick of that. I explained to my daughter when I got home why Michigan lost. And I told her the head coach blamed injuries and not having the team ready to play. And then Ashley said:
“Dad! You always tell us that excuses are for losers and that winners find a way to win! That’s what you always tell us in softball. Is Michigan making excuses?”
And it dawned on me. She’s right. I never heard the Michigan coaching staff before now blame injuries or other trivial issues on winning and losing. However, this seems to be the excuse regime. Well, I for one will have none of it. If I wasn’t off the Rich Rod Band Wagon before, I am now. I feel like we overspent on a younger version of John L. Smith…….
The Rest of the Mess
SPARTY KITTY CATS: OK. There’s a real good chance you guys might have a shot at the Big 10 this year. OSU will be tough, but you have them at home. Uh, Sparty and Fans – 1 question: HOW CAN THERE STILL BE TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THIS GAME? ARE YOU FANS OR WHAT?????
DOMERS – BUTCH DAVIS: As much as the ZEBRAS tried to give you the game and a chance to win, UNC found a way to offset those clowns and preserve the victory. Wuzzles is moving up on the hot seat list, again….(By the way, I saw the Mighty Quinn introducing McCain and he did a great job– He’s a class guy. So, maybe – MAYBE – I’ll cut him a little slack…)
LATERS – SHORTHORNS: I blew this call…I really thought Stupor would defeat the MAC attack but they couldn’t put it all together…And not rushing the ball is no way for a LATER team to play….
GATORLAND – LMU: URBAN LEGEND! Wow…I blew this one, too. I had seen Gatorland play several times this year and Urban seemed to have forgotten half the playbook with the exception of Run Tim Right, Run Tim Left, Let Tim Pass on 3rd down…..Well, against LMU, I saw running backs carrying the ball and Tebow passing on first down of all things. LMU will be back, but Gatorland seems to want it this year.
PSU – CHEESEHEADS: Great. Just lovely. PSU hangs 48 on the Frauds and now MICHIGAN is a 24 Point early dog in Happy Valley…That’s just great….Just great….What else can go wrong? Wait – I DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
MZZOU – OKSTATE: Wow – Didn’t see this one coming, either. I figured Daniels and Co. would handle these guys easy….
CORNSUCKERS – TTECH: OT and lose….Too bad, so sad…Pelini will get them back, but it will take years. The question is: Is Rich Rod the Callahan equivalent?
CLEMSON: HAHAHAHAHAHA…..Tommy Bowden should be looking for a job today….Wake did them in on Thursday Night….
HOAKIES: Survive and thrive in the ACC…It must be nice to be in a weak conference…OK, that might have sounded like a shot, but C’mon, I am the MMQ…
CREMESICLES: Maybe Tennessee and Michigan could get together on New Year’s Day and just play a game between two of the largest stadium teams to see which one sucks less……
Random Thoughts
1. The student body of Florida has some good times.....Say, do they call this a GATOR Shot down there or what?

1. The student body of Florida has some good times.....Say, do they call this a GATOR Shot down there or what?
2. Why Can't MICHIGAN WIN??? WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THIS? (That's my inner monologue that plays in my head during my conscious hours...The unconscious hours are worse....It's more like a nightmare...)
3. Maybe I could root for a good team instead. Problem is, who do you pick? I have always like the USC Cheerleader outfits....I don't know why??
Could it Be WHAT'S INISDE?
Could be.........
