MICHIGAN KEEPS THE JUG!

Michigan Keeps the JUG!

I am a little under the weather today so the entry may not have the same smart ass pop as usually, but I will attempt to give it my best…

Well, one thing you can say about this team: They didn’t give up. I am not sure we got any better, as much as it looked like Minnesota just didn’t show up. I was not happy with red zone production and our defense, while only allowing 1 first half 1st down, looked, at times, like it has all season.

But, a win is a win in a season like this and I will relish it. Next week is Michigan’s Home Bowl Game against Northwestern. It’s shaping up to be wonderful weather in Ann Arbor and I am sure we will all get suntans if we attend the game….

I have come to one conclusion: Rich Rod gives a lousy interview. I just don’t like the guy. I don’t know what it is (probably the losing) but something about him rubs me the wrong way. But I will give him 3 years and we will see what happens.


The Rest of the Mess

SPARTY vs. Spoilermakers: Sparty – You are giving me new hope that a successful Big East Coach can come to the Big Ten and win. 9-2 isn’t bad, and you really should have beat California. OSU – You shot yourself in the foot, and that can happen. I really wanted to see an undefeated PSU team have to play Sparty, but Iowa took care of that…

PSU vs. IOWA: Wow….Can you believe it? Somehow, some way, PSU finds a way to shoot themselves in the big toe every season. And IOWA provided the back drop for this one….from the opening drive, Iowa came to play….And I am convinced that PSU would have been a bigger embarrassment for the Big Ten then the Suckeyes usually are playing for the National Title….

Texas Tech vs. Okie State: You know what? Texas Tech deserves the shot at the title. Those guys can play ball! They can’t play DEFENSE, mind you, but they can score pretty well.

ALABAM vs. LMU: Nuts. Once again, the much hated SATAN pulls off the win in a classic SEC overtime dog fight….I thought I was backing the right dog in this fight, but you just never can tell with the SEC. LM might find himself on the “getting warm” seat if he loses one more game….Did you hear about the couple in Alabama who got shot after the game because someone called the other guy a bad name? No kidding…

DOMERS vs. BC EAGLES: HA! Once again, the MMQ is PROVEN RIGHT! THE DOMERS ARE WHAT WE THOUGHT THEY WERE! An over rated team that was handed a gift by Michigan. Domer fans, you have a long way to go before you will ever return to a BCS game. Get used to it….

CREMESICLES: You know, it’s good to see that as bad as Michigan is, there really is someone that SUCKS a whole lot more….Now, Wyoming isn’t good. They are going to can their head coach. But they beat the Cremesicles….Man….Tennessee fan has to feel pretty bad right about now…

AUBURN: Got one of the wins they need to get to 5 on the season, but 6 is going to be tough with Georgia and Alabama left on the schedule….Wouldn’t it be sweet if Tommy Twotone figured out a way to beat Satan?

HOAKIES: So, who wants to win the ACC Coastal? Is there a really good team in there this year? If this is parody, I don’t like it….We want DOMINATION!!!! I guess a win over Maryland is okay, but, man, it’s hard to watch the ACC this year.


BCS STANDINGS:

ALABAMA – SATAN – Can this be happening? Really? Or will the SEC find a way to knock him out?
TEXAS TECH – This team is scary and could pull off the sleeper Big 12 victory. Have to beat OKIE STATE and win the Big 12 Conference Championship
SHORTHORNS – How does this all work if there is a 3-way tie for first in the Big 12 south and then that team loses the Championship game to Mizzou? Mizzou goes to the Big One, Right?? Right???
GATORLAND - Best Team playing right now…SATAN KILLERS IN THE PLAY-OFF!
LATERS– Needs some help….
RUBBERS – NEEDS A LOT OF HELP…But, if OSU wins Big 10, Guess who gets to spank them again? Yep – USC.
UTAH – Come on….Stop this….MICHIGAN ALMOST BEAT THIS TEAM!
PENN STATE: I am surprised they only fell this far…
BOYS STATE – I hate this…I hate this….I hate this…..
Puppy Dawgs….No, you can’t have three schools in the BCS…so the DAWGS ARE OUT…..

IDLE THOUGHTS FROM SATURDAY

1. It’s getting a little better…It’s getting a little better…It’s getting a little better…
2. When Sheridan runs and no one is there to see it, does he actually move?
3. Minnesota looks really bad…What has the Big 10 come to?
4. Looking for other teams to root for…I am not a BIG SWIM FAN, but Golly, these Texas Tech Swimmers could make me a swim fan...or Texas Tech Fan...










HOT SEAT

This week’s hot seat mascot: Kathryn Heigl from “Grey’s Anatomy”. The MMQ link: She was apparently spotted in Michigan shooting an upcoming movie…I don’t have the details of the movie or when she was here…But the fact that she’s been in Michigan is enough for me!

1. T. BOWDEN – GONE
2. Fullmer – GONE – Quit before he could get CANNED….
3. Wilingham – GONE ….Another one bites the dust..
4. AMSTUTZ (Toledo) – GONE After Beating Michigan, he gets CANNED.
5. Tommy Tutone – No Conference Title, Bowl is questionable….
6. JOE GLENN – WYOMING…They are not only bad, but as you may recall he flipped off Utah’s coach….
7. RICH ROD – Beating the Gophers doesn't get you off the list....

GETTING WARM:

1. Zook – how can a team with so much promise and hype go 5-5?
2. Bill Martin and Mary Sue....Just cuz...
3. The Ole Ball Coach - but he's off the seat if he beats GATORLAND!

Games of the WEEK

1. Ohio State at Illinois – Zook can maybe save his job and qualify for the Motor City Bowl…That’s in Detroit, at least for now…
2. DOMERS at Navy – Watch this one. You will get to see NAVY beat the Domers two years running….
3. Puppy Dawgs at AUBURN: Tommy Twotone can save his job with a win…
4. South Carolina at GATORLAND: Best game of the week….The Ole Ball Coach back in the swamp is always fun….
5. Boston College – FSU: Can BC knock FSU out of the top 25?
