Disgruntled and Lost all Hope Fan, Initials are MMQ.....
Sparty: Sparty On! 2 consecutive victories in the Dantonio era....You
won a game that last year might have gone the other way, according to the
reports and clips I saw....Bowling Green is legit, and was a good preseason
test. Pitt will challenge you even more and determine what the rest of
the season could look like....All I know is that suddenly, the sky is
turning Green and White, Honolulu Blue and Silver, and I don't know
why.....
Cornhuskers: Escaped with the victory.....another 2-0 team that deserves
mention. Can you handle the Rubbers at home? Shock the WORLD Baby - be
the App State of Division 1A and take down those pesky west
coasters....Help remind them which side of the country Football Started on,
even if you are in the midwest......
Gatorland.....Yeah, yeah 2-0....Your season doesn't really start until
Saturday.....And the Cremesicles owe you REVENGE....But you are in the
Swamp, so you should be able to handle them....But October 6th will be the
true test when Next Michigan Head Coach Les Miles and the LSU Tiger Fans
make you rethink how good you are....
LSU - This is the MMQ's newly adopted team, based on the fact that an old,
died in the wool, Bo Schembechler player turned coach can actually LEARN a
thing or two about the modern game and use them quite effectively. Pass on
first down, mix up the calls, and attack a defense with a sound game
plan....All things that Michigan needs RIGHT NOW....Bill Martin, Are you
Watching LSU and TALKING TO LES MILES? He is a Michigan Man......
Auburn - OOOOPS.......Hey - USF is a pretty good team......I don't think we
have any Auburn Tigers on the list, but in case it gets forwarded to a
closet Auburn Tiger Fan....Eventually, Tommy Twotone is going to need to
find an offense....All the defense in the world won't win a game for you,
and won't clinch the SEC.....
Division IIA
Appalachian State - Continued to Roll in Division IIA with a victory of
48-7 over Lenoir Rhyme.........Didn't see any highlights, but it looks like
they are for real....
Domers - Total Rushing yards this Season (-8). Please read that as Minus
8. Not 8. Now, I know expectations for the Domers was not that high and
quite a few of your victories last year were smoke and mirrors....but
geez....You must all be wondering if the money you spent on C. Wuzzles was
well spent.....But, I am guessing that Weis takes a long look at video this
week and tries to put a passing attack together that resembles some sort of
spread offense....JUST A HUNCH, Lloyd......I don't know which program is a
bigger disaster right now you or....
The Lamerines.....Well, here we are, 0-2 on the season, and hopes are
sinking faster than.....I had several cliches I was going to put in here,
but I can't really think of one that describes how fast, exactly, hopes are
sinking - with the exception that hopes are sinking faster than an 0-2
Lamerine team that has a D2 loss on it's record............I had the
opportunity to witness this debacle in person and I have some questions
that I would like to put in an open letter to Lloyd Carr:
Dear Lloyd:
1. Did you know Oregon would pass? A Lot? And run some Gimmick Plays? I
mean, that's all they had to go on after what App State did to you.....
1.5 And if in last week's practice, you discovered that you couldn't cover
the pass, even with the Free Safety lining up at times, 20 yards behind the
line of scrimmage, did you ever consider just blitzing the crap out of the
Ducks and giving up the Big Play in a different way? I mean, hell, if your
going to let them go and throw deep into triple coverage, at least don't
embarrass the WHOLE defense by letting them get beat deep when they have
triple coverage....Just a thought....
2. Did you know that last year, OSU had 9 new starters on Defense? I
don't recall them giving up 624 yards in any game last season.....Strange
how good coaches re-load with top ten recruiting classes without missing a
beat....So, are the guys who rate these recruiting classes just that bad,
or are you somehow not developing the talent that shows up? Or are you
creating defensive schemes that these kids haven't even played in
high-school due to the fact that the game has changed a little......
3. I know you can't fix Chad Henne's mind, and I don't know what you did
to it....I don't know if keeping the reigns on so long creates a lack of
confidence in a guy that has played 3 years....All I can think of is what
happened to the kid that was throwing for 3 scores against MSU in a triple
overtime game, threw a last second strike to Mario in the PSU game in 2005,
and has had other big game accomplishments? What happened? Henne couldn't
hit the broadside of a barn, was missing open guys, wasn't looking anyone
off, and was actually playing worse than he did as a freshman, sophomore,
and junior....Have you screwed that kid up so much that you've destroyed
him? And now, it looks like he's injured....
4. And thanks for giving the new kid a chance and mixing it up for
him....Your team is down four scores and what do you do? Send the new guy
in to hand off twice into a stacked line - while two wide receivers are in
single coverage...- I think I could actually see Oregon Coach Bellotti
smiling on that one - And I sit in row 74 - and then let the kid try to
throw when they dropped 6 guys back....No Lloyd, there really is no
question about what's coming when a team plays you....I am pretty sure that
I could be a "guest" defensive coach for any opposing team and tell the
team what to do and expect.....
5. I remember Oregon being a drop back and pass, vanilla offense when
Bellotti got there....They actually looked a lot like us....Amazing how a
guy can look around and see that kids are overall better athletes, getting
faster, and bulk doesn't necessarily always win.....Hmmm....Mike adjusted
with the Oregon team.....What's Michigan going to do??
6. Any thoughts as to why one of your captains stands up and gives the
Domers plenty of incentive to work extra hard this week by guaranteeing a
victory? I mean, you embarrassed the Domers last year, so they are already
motivated, and then you have Hart spouting off that nonsense.....I don't
dislike Hart, but he needs to understand that there are some things that
can't be said to the press and even the most casual fans that can see a
train wreck of a season upon us......like we need another loss to go 0-3
with 9 games remaining to somehow win 7.....
So let's look at that - this fan is merely looking for 7 wins with 10 games
to go at this point in order to keep the bowl streak alive....Granted, even
the most avid fan/spin doctor will say that the Big 10 is still in our
sights, the BCS Rose Bowl is a possibility, blah, blah, blah....What I see
is a Lamerine team with no psychological center and nothing to fall back on
and if Henne is out, well, it's "Panic Time" in Ann Arbor:
App State - L
Oregon - L
ND- W (Hart guaranteed it, right?)
PSU- L
NU W
EMU W
Purdue W/L - Iffy.....These guys are scoring points right
now....and our defense is a sieve....
Illinois W
Minnesota W
MSU IFFY.....Yes Sparty, you are due....it's been 6 years....
Wisconsin L
OSU L
Overall - 7-5....but that's a reach at this point.......
So, that means we could be playing for EVERYTHING on November 3rd (assuming
we beat Purdue and Lose to PSU).....And right now, Lloyd, I would say that
you can't pull that rabbit out of your hat....
There is so much more, but I grow weary....So, until the ghost of
Schembechler can rest after a Michigan victory,

Crawling Back.... (9-17-07)
Division 1AA
I would like to say that I am excited after the Loserines Big Win over the much hated Domers (I am not even sure this current group of Domers is worthy of that slur....they would actually have to get better to earn the right to be called Domers)....and somehow, the victory rang slightly hollow when you really look at what was accomplished, by the numbers:
1. The Domers now have( -14) yards rushing on the year.....
2. They only had 10 first downs for the entire game....
3. They didn't cross the 50 yd line until the 2nd half.....
4. They allowed 8 sacks of Jimmy Clausen.....
5. They let Michael Hart average 5.3 yards per touch....
6. Mallet completed 7 passes out of 15 attempts, 3 for touchdowns.....
7. The Domers have still not scored an offensive TD under the Gifted and Wise offensive "Guru" known as C. Wuzzles...
8. The 38-0 score was EXACTLY the same as the score in 2003 against Ty "Losingham" in his 3rd and final season......Omens, anyone??? Or maybe Talisman....I always get those two confused....Sort of like the Domers getting Offense and Defense confused....Actually, I was impressed this group could find the field......
9. Hart was out in the 3rd quarter - a statement usually only made against lowly D-1AA teams and crappy MAC teams...
10......Just how bad are these guys? I guess that still remains to be seen with the rest of their schedule....Sparty goes to Domerland as a 14.5 point early favorite....I am not sure that number is high enough based on what was displayed on Saturday....
But - and I do mean this sincerely: I think that C. Wuzzles IS THE SMARTEST coach the Domers have ever had....By parlaying a 7 game winning streak into a 10 year contract that will reportedly pay him somewhere between $24-$32 Million - Win or Lose - He got one up on every other coach that has been through the Domer wringer in the last 15 years....So when he gets the ax, he will be walking with most, if not all, of NBC's money and most of the money that they received from last year's Sugar Bowl....Isn't it classic? The Domer's own Greed will be their demise......Oh - you won't fire him, Domer Nation????? And the reason for firing Losingham, and I quote from a former MMQ blog, "We let Ty go not because of what he did Sunday thru Friday, but because of the results on the field on Saturdays." Well, the results aren't looking much better under Wuzzles in year 3, so does he get the pass or did he smartly protect himself for the duration and leading the Domers into mediocrity for the next 10 years???? This remains to be seen...
One thing we can say about this is that 5 to10 years from now, it will simply look like another trouncing for UM against the Domers (which could become a regular thing if the Domers can't right the ship), but right now, it didn't prove much and was actually kind of worthless as far as getting the Maize and Blue ready for a real test against the Nittany Kitty Kats, who will come to Ann Arbor mad, proven, and ready for Double Dog Revenge having lost the last two seasons to the Wolverines.....Special Thanks to Russell Crowe for showing up and giving a pre-game prep talk - and at the post game press conference for stating he was going to hang around and have a few beers with Lloyd....Every little bit helps....
And, last but not least, I did hear, faintly, a man laying down to his final rest after the Wolverines managed a Victory over a much hated Rival....Go Bo, Coach Carr and company can manage without you....
Appalachian State - Defeated Northern Arizona - soundly....The Mountainmen continue to roll.....
D-1A
Sparty - Looking good....I watched some of this game and I will say that last year's Sparty's would have probably collapsed and found a way to lose that game...Don't lose momentum and do what you normally do to the Domers after the Wolverines soften them up for you.....and get some revenge for last year's debacle in Spartyland....
Gatorland - Damn, you guys look good....Even against a rival, you seem to know how to get the job done. Tebow is the real deal and it makes me wonder why he wasn't playing more last year, not that you needed him.....
Cornsuckers - Well, you played with the best team in the land for 30 minutes of football....After that, it pretty much looked like USC did what they wanted to do when they wanted to do it....I certainly hope that big time College Football finds it's way back to the Midwest, but right now, there's the SEC, Pac 10, and then there's everyone else...
Hokie Nation - Way to bounce back....keep your chins up and get ready for a tough ACC run...They are laying down for you anymore....
Cyclones - Way to nip the Hawkeyes....I am sure Ferentz was taking you for granted being 0-2, but you showed everyone that you're still gamers.....
Crimson Satan - Look out! Satan found a way to knock of the Big Pigs....Good game too, for anyone that missed it....Maybe old Satan will find a way into the SEC title game....Of course, the Georgia puppy dogs are next week, but they look beatable...frankly, after reviewing the Tide's schedule, there is a chance ole Satan could be 7-0 going into Tennessee.....and he gets an extra week to prep for Les Miles' Tigers.....Things are going to get interesting in the SEC....
LSU - handled Middle Tennessee and now need to Beat the Ole Ball Coach at HOME. Spurrier, who has stated he WILL BE A PART of the SEC Championship, will have his team ready.....Look out Coach Miles....
Best Upset of the Day: Kentucky over Louisville....The Johnny Come Latelys are learning that reputation does not win games for you and that once you are good, everyone puts a Big Ole target on you, circles your game on the calendar, sets up a countdown clock, etc....
2nd Best: Utah Utes hangin 44 on #11 UCLA and only giving 6 points to a would be Pac 10 contender....Ooooooooooops
Best Could have been Upset: UCF vs. Texas - The Longhorns are going to lose some games this year, and should have lost to these guys.....
Congrats Duke - Northwestern must have felt sorry for you...OR the Big 10 is just really that bad this year.......

Sparty, Sparty, Sparty....(11-5-07)
Top 5 Best Things said or heard from Saturday:
5. Don Shane, reporting from the MSU sideline when Sparty went up by 10 with 7:00 left in the 4th quarter, stated that Sparty was congratulating itself on victory and telling each other to "remember what it feels like to beat Michigan...." Gee, that was a short 7:00, wasn't it Sparty? Do you remember what it feels like?
4. "I hate Michigan. They suck and will always suck." Drew Stanton - during an interview about the game....But your alma mater must suck worse if you can't beat them, right Drew?
3. "I think we have Sparty right where we want him - up 10 points with 7:00 left in the 4th quarter. When was the last time Sparty ever won a game when they were up 10 in the 4th???" the MMQ at the party he attended, confident that Sparty would give up big plays to let the Amaizing Blue back in the game.
2. Mike Hart, after the game. "I was laughing because they were congratulating themselves. We have Chad Henne and Mario Manningham. Were two pass plays from taking the lead. Sometimes, when you're beating your little brother in basketball, you let him back in the game, you know, let him think he has a chance, then you just beat him." And that's what Sparty is - Michigan's little brother.
1. At midfield, after the game. "Hey, Mark, while you're bowing down, don't forget to kiss the 1997 Championship Ring...." Lloyd Carr to Dantonio....
Okay - I made that last one up....
So, once again, Michigan does the deed of finishing off a Spartan team that is incapable of finishing anything....Is Sparty aware of the fact that EVERYONE ELSE plays 60 minutes of football and not just 45 or 50 or 55? Just wondering....You know Sparty, it's not that we want to hate you (well, actually, we do)....and we would probably enjoy playing another rival that was consistently in the top 10 that after beating them would give us a boost in the rankings from time to time....kind of like the SEC gets when they lose to one of their own....But, you just can't seem to figure out that you need to prove it on the field, not just jack your jaws before the games, set up countdown clocks, win the games you are supposed to win, etc, etc, etc.....I wonder what Dantonio was thinking letting the team talk about winning before the clock read 0:01? That one blew my mind....How many games have you been ahead this year in the 4th and still lost? Don't you think you would know by now to keep your yaps shut before and during the game and then enjoy the podium the way Hart did afterwards? Sooner or later, maybe, and that's a BIG MAYBE, that will sink in....One other thought - if you played as well and as emotional against Northwestern, Iowa, Wisconsin, and maybe OSU, I think the outcome of those games would have been different....But we would have still pounded you...Simply because you're the little brother with an inferiority complex....
Final Thought: I think whoever gets Chad Henne in the 2nd or 3rd round is going to get a gem of a QB that will be able to play on Sunday...No, I am not saying he's Brady, but I think he will surprise some people and be a regular starter....If the Lions had only waited.....
BCS MESS:
Okay, someone, somehow, is going to get royally shafted this year....My guess - Oregon. They lost on a last second play that will keep them out of the National Title game, assuming that the Amaizing Blue (this sucks to have to type this) loses to the Suckeyes....LMU gets the nod because they are in the "GREATEST SUPER CONFERENCE OF ALL TIME" SEC and they get to beat up on OSU.....On top of that, Kansas could go undefeated and not play in the Title game, either.....So, is it long past time for a Play-off? I have been here before....Worse, and this could be the topper, LMU could lose the SEC title game and then be deemed not worthy to play in the National Title game...That would be classic....Let OSU and Oregon battle it out - or Oregon and Kansas settle it....Is this basketball??...More Screw Jobs Coming - Big 12 title game loser....Won't play in the BCS....Kansas, Missouri, or Oklahoma....sorry kids....And may not play New Year's day....
MICHIGAN - MSU NIGHT GAME: (LMU vs. SATAN) It's funny, isn't it? Two SEC teams led by a former Michigan Player and former MSU head coach? So, where does the SEC go to get this great coaching talent? Yeah, that's what I thought...... And, as always, the Michigan Man prevailed late with a typical Bama (Sparty) brain fart by fumbling in the 4th quarter....You kind of knew that Satan was going to lose that game, didn't you? So, LMU is on cruise control to the title match-up agains Richy Rich....Could that be the upset that does LMU in???
SUCKEYES: So, the Evil Empire of the South managed to beat the Cheeseheads, convincingly....I have to admit...The Amaizing Blue is banged up and I hope we can go to Cheesehead land beat those guys...It's gonna be a close game, as I figure pre-season, and it may go to OT....I don't see you guys slipping before November 17th - Illini is beatable, so it will all come down to another fateful Saturday in Ann Arbor....Tension will fill the air...Can Lloyd finally pull the upset - I am sure you will be favored in the game - and can Henne, Hart, and Long get one victory over the Suckeyes....We shall see.....
GATORLAND: Handled Vandy, hanging out with 3 losses hoping someone else in the SEC loses so you can inch up in the standings....Right now, the latest Bowl pairings I saw didn't have you playing on New Year's day........So, maybe, LMU going to the title game opens something up for you...Of course, if you don't get by the Ole Ball Coach this week...Well, who really wants to see an 8-4 Florida team play anyway? And Tennessee, who you pummeled, is ahead of you in the SEC with only 2 losses.....Hee, hee, hee......
HOKIES: Got over on the Rambling Wreck.....ACC is still up for grabs with BC going down....at least that should shut down the Doug Flutie led Matty Ice for Heismann camapaign...Going into the Final 3 here Hokie Fan - FSU, Miami, and Virginia....We don't need to discuss history here to know how you do in these games....
children of the corn: I can't even label you cornsuckers any more....I need a name that means less than cornsuckers....Using the cornsucker name is insulting to prior cornscker teams that made bowl games and at least played respecfully against teams they used to hang 76 on....I guess running the score up all those years on all those crappy Big 12 teams comes home to roost every now and then, doesn't it?
Weasel Nation....(Again, Labeling this team Domers disrespects every Domer that has bravely played there before - BUT JEEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS!!!!) So, I overheard someone comment that the Domers would win out, and I, being of contrarian thought, immediately knew that the odds were MUCH BETTER for the Weasel to lose the last 4....but I knew that this would be the tough week as Navy just isn't that good.....But now, I am fairly confident that the Weasels can lose the last 3 and I am REALLY PISSED that UCLA didn't show up to beat these guys and the perfect season would have been perfect....But again, a 1 victory season is a good thing, right? So as an either or proposition, I like mine a whole lot better...But these ding dongs will probably win one against Duke or something...
GAMES OF THE WEEK
MICHIGAN at the CHEESEHEADS....Bielema's Boys will be looking for revenge and respect in order to be 3rd overall Big 10 Team....Illini are breathing down their necks...
USC at CAL: Believe it or not, this game is for 3RD PLACE in the PAC 10.....Who would've thunk it in September?
Urban Legend Mayer Whiner at the Ole' Ball Coach's place: Yes, it's the Gator vs. Gator game at South Carolina....Look for Spurrier to win the game and win his job at Florida back...
HOT SEAT
Urban Legend Meyer Whiner: If he loses this week, he could be gone by Monday.....National Title's don't last long when the Legends want to come back to their alma mater....
Weasel....It's hot in the press room, the post game news conferences, and everywhere else, but the Domer's know they made their bed and they have to "weasel" in it until they get another year or so out of this guy....
Dantonio - Don't put up countdown clocks unless you really know that you can back them up with a victory...I know Tressel managed to pull it off....but he is one of the few....Put up a countdown clock for Northwestern next year...I think they actually have a better record against Sparty in the last 6 years....
Callahan - I thought he could make it through the end of the year...but I think the Ax may fall on this Turkey's neck before the Colorado game....And it's probably deserved...You can't lost to Kansas 76-39 and not figure it's coming...
SUNDAY
Admittedly, I don't watch a lot of Sunday Football, but the Honolulu Blue and Silver train seems to be on track, and they pummeled the once proud Denver Broncos yesterday....That, along with Super Bowl 41.5 and Touchdown Tommy vs. Tennessee Ernie Manning Game was also intriguing and I will admit, I watched. Touchdown Tommy, with more weapons and a career of 4th quarter comebacks behind him managed to overcome Manning and the ponies....Can they go undefeated in the modern NFL? That is really the question I think on everyones mind at this point....The NFL could use another dynasty for the fringe fans.....

Don't you think you would know by now to keep your yaps shut before and during the game and then enjoy the podium the way Hart did afterwards? Sooner or later, maybe, and that's a BIG MAYBE, that will sink in....One other thought - if you played as well and as emotional against Northwestern, Iowa, Wisconsin, and maybe OSU, I think the outcome of those games would have been different....But we would have still pounded you...Simply because you're the little brother with an inferiority complex....
Final Thought: I think whoever gets Chad Henne in the 2nd or 3rd round is going to get a gem of a QB that will be able to play on Sunday...No, I am not saying he's Brady, but I think he will surprise some people and be a regular starter....If the Lions had only waited.....
BCS MESS:
Okay, someone, somehow, is going to get royally shafted this year....My guess - Oregon. They lost on a last second play that will keep them out of the National Title game, assuming that the Amaizing Blue (this sucks to have to type this) loses to the Suckeyes....LMU gets the nod because they are in the "GREATEST SUPER CONFERENCE OF ALL TIME" SEC and they get to beat up on OSU.....On top of that, Kansas could go undefeated and not play in the Title game, either.....So, is it long past time for a Play-off? I have been here before....Worse, and this could be the topper, LMU could lose the SEC title game and then be deemed not worthy to play in the National Title game...That would be classic....Let OSU and Oregon battle it out - or Oregon and Kansas settle it....Is this basketball??...More Screw Jobs Coming - Big 12 title game loser....Won't play in the BCS....Kansas, Missouri, or Oklahoma....sorry kids....And may not play New Year's day....
MICHIGAN - MSU NIGHT GAME: (LMU vs. SATAN) It's funny, isn't it? Two SEC teams led by a former Michigan Player and former MSU head coach? So, where does the SEC go to get this great coaching talent? Yeah, that's what I thought...... And, as always, the Michigan Man prevailed late with a typical Bama (Sparty) brain fart by fumbling in the 4th quarter....You kind of knew that Satan was going to lose that game, didn't you? So, LMU is on cruise control to the title match-up agains Richy Rich....Could that be the upset that does LMU in???
SUCKEYES: So, the Evil Empire of the South managed to beat the Cheeseheads, convincingly....I have to admit...The Amaizing Blue is banged up and I hope we can go to Cheesehead land beat those guys...It's gonna be a close game, as I figure pre-season, and it may go to OT....I don't see you guys slipping before November 17th - Illini is beatable, so it will all come down to another fateful Saturday in Ann Arbor....Tension will fill the air...Can Lloyd finally pull the upset - I am sure you will be favored in the game - and can Henne, Hart, and Long get one victory over the Suckeyes....We shall see.....
GATORLAND: Handled Vandy, hanging out with 3 losses hoping someone else in the SEC loses so you can inch up in the standings....Right now, the latest Bowl pairings I saw didn't have you playing on New Year's day........So, maybe, LMU going to the title game opens something up for you...Of course, if you don't get by the Ole Ball Coach this week...Well, who really wants to see an 8-4 Florida team play anyway? And Tennessee, who you pummeled, is ahead of you in the SEC with only 2 losses.....Hee, hee, hee......
HOKIES: Got over on the Rambling Wreck.....ACC is still up for grabs with BC going down....at least that should shut down the Doug Flutie led Matty Ice for Heismann camapaign...Going into the Final 3 here Hokie Fan - FSU, Miami, and Virginia....We don't need to discuss history here to know how you do in these games....
children of the corn: I can't even label you cornsuckers any more....I need a name that means less than cornsuckers....Using the cornsucker name is insulting to prior cornscker teams that made bowl games and at least played respecfully against teams they used to hang 76 on....I guess running the score up all those years on all those crappy Big 12 teams comes home to roost every now and then, doesn't it?
Weasel Nation....(Again, Labeling this team Domers disrespects every Domer that has bravely played there before - BUT JEEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS!!!!) So, I overheard someone comment that the Domers would win out, and I, being of contrarian thought, immediately knew that the odds were MUCH BETTER for the Weasel to lose the last 4....but I knew that this would be the tough week as Navy just isn't that good.....But now, I am fairly confident that the Weasels can lose the last 3 and I am REALLY PISSED that UCLA didn't show up to beat these guys and the perfect season would have been perfect....But again, a 1 victory season is a good thing, right? So as an either or proposition, I like mine a whole lot better...But these ding dongs will probably win one against Duke or something...
GAMES OF THE WEEK
MICHIGAN at the CHEESEHEADS....Bielema's Boys will be looking for revenge and respect in order to be 3rd overall Big 10 Team....Illini are breathing down their necks...
USC at CAL: Believe it or not, this game is for 3RD PLACE in the PAC 10.....Who would've thunk it in September?
Urban Legend Mayer Whiner at the Ole' Ball Coach's place: Yes, it's the Gator vs. Gator game at South Carolina....Look for Spurrier to win the game and win his job at Florida back...
HOT SEAT
Urban Legend Meyer Whiner: If he loses this week, he could be gone by Monday.....National Title's don't last long when the Legends want to come back to their alma mater....
Weasel....It's hot in the press room, the post game news conferences, and everywhere else, but the Domer's know they made their bed and they have to "weasel" in it until they get another year or so out of this guy....
Dantonio - Don't put up countdown clocks unless you really know that you can back them up with a victory...I know Tressel managed to pull it off....but he is one of the few....Put up a countdown clock for Northwestern next year...I think they actually have a better record against Sparty in the last 6 years....
Callahan - I thought he could make it through the end of the year...but I think the Ax may fall on this Turkey's neck before the Colorado game....And it's probably deserved...You can't lost to Kansas 76-39 and not figure it's coming...
SUNDAY
Admittedly, I don't watch a lot of Sunday Football, but the Honolulu Blue and Silver train seems to be on track, and they pummeled the once proud Denver Broncos yesterday....That, along with Super Bowl 41.5 and Touchdown Tommy vs. Tennessee Ernie Manning Game was also intriguing and I will admit, I watched. Touchdown Tommy, with more weapons and a career of 4th quarter comebacks behind him managed to overcome Manning and the ponies....Can they go undefeated in the modern NFL? That is really the question I think on everyones mind at this point....The NFL could use another dynasty for the fringe fans.....
MMQ
3 Left and Counting....(10-29-07)
I am glad that Henne and Hart will be back this week in order to play the Sparties up in East Lansing....The roller coaster ride that is the Michigan reserves reminds me of the Heart Attack kids of 2005....You just never know what you're gonna get - balls on the field, balls flying in all directions, fumbles, dropped passes, etc....But, the Mighty Wolverines FINALLY took care of the Golden Gophers and insured that the Little Brown Jug stayed where it belongs, in Ann Arbor.....There was a trivia question during the game, and I would like to share it all with you: (Answer at the end)
What was the first year that Michigan and Minnesota battled for the little Brown Jug?
A. 1898 B. 1903 C. 1909 D. 1914
I have to admit, I thought this was a trick question because of the way it was worded, so be careful with your answer if you think you know it.....
UM - SPARTY WEEK: The Term SOS, which in Michigan Wolverine Fan vernacular means "Same Ole' Sparty" and in MooU vernacular means "Save Our SEASON - BEAT MICHIGAN" is handy in that it can be used by either fan...... So, Sparty, at least the MMQ can still call some things right....Even though I missed on a couple of your losses in my pre-season prediction, I did say that you would be in the middle of your swan song when the Mighty Wolverines would have to come up and complete the pleasant task of sticking a fork in your season..how you give up huge leads in games that you have statistically controlled ought to be made into a documentary of how NOT TO PLAY late in the game....Giving up and 2nd and 20 for a TD - to the lowly Hawkeyes who are playing for pride????? .........I commented incorrectly that I thought you might make a non-New Year's bowl in Texas....the non-New Year's part I got right, but I am not sure you are going to make it out of the state at this point....I am not even sure you can win again...So your whole bowl picture is down to the Motor City or nothing....However, as is SEEMS TO BE EVERY YEAR, Sparty fan somehow believes that a victory, even if it's the only one - over Michigan will make everything OK as you will be on your way to Detroit......But Sparty, here's the issue: Even if you beat us, you still suck. And with 1 loss in the Big 10, Michigan is still alive for a BCS game....Funny how that works when you win the games you are supposed to win in your conference....Please, PLEASE, Sparty, save all your "records don't mean anything in this game" and "This game means more to us than you" rhetoric....Of course it means more to you - u suck and we're still a legitimate contender....This could be the 1st of your last three "bowl" games......
GATORLAND: Uh-oh...Don't look now, but I don't know how Urban Legend can find his way into a New Year's day bowl game now....The Richy-Rich Puppy Dogs put a beating on the Gators and had them for a snack at the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail party....The question is - when Mayer Whiner cries in an empty post game press conference that his team deserves to play on New Year's day, does he actually make a sound?
cornsuckers - I can't find smaller type...and I am not sure the cornsuckers deserve that....How do you have a Texas team - that isn't that good either - on the ropes in the 4th quarter and then let the RUNNING BACK single handedly beat you and rush for 200+ yards - IN THE 4TH Quarter? huskerfan, I don't know what the blackshirt defense means at this point, and I am not sure the whole husker image was nothing more than a mirage that was created by Osborn....I guess he can right the ship, but at 70, I am not sure he can live long enough to do it....
domers - Not playing makes for a great weekend, eh domer fan?
HOKIES - Tsk,tsk, tsk.....HOKIE FAN: I fell asleep on Thursday night with the Hokies comfortably in the lead with a 10 point margin with less than 2 minutes to go...what happened? It seems that you have given BC the right to play in the National Title game....Actually, in a way, I'm glad the season could work out this way...I would rather see 2 non-SEC teams battle it out, and I see LSU is vulnerable, so maybe this SUPER CONFERENCE can make enough noise with-in the NCAA to get rid of the BCS for a play-off......nah, it'll never happen....but I'm glad none the less that the SEC won't be there.....
SUCKEYES - Defeat an unimpressive Joe Pa team in Happy Valley Whiteout....I guess the Sweater Vested Troll will be undefeated coming to Ann Arbor this year....The bigger they are, the harder they fall....That ticket keeps going up in value....
HOT SEAT:
URBAN LEGEND MAYER WHINER: Think I'm wrong? Let's think about this....Spurrier will be available, or make himself available, after losing to Vandy and Tennessee - and maybe one more timewith Florida, Tenn, and Clemson on the schedule.......If Whiner loses again and the Ole Ball Coach makes a phone call to Gatorland, his alma mater where he won national titles and as a player won the Heismann,, do you think that Urban Legend won't be on the curb looking for work? You read it here first, MMQ fan....Trust me....This is closer than it may appear...
Weasel - yep - Don't see how the domers can go 1-11 and not at least think about axing the Weasel...but they won't....they will let him lose 3 more next year and do the deed....
Fullmer - this guy is cemented until he quits....I guess I have to take him off the list
SMU's Phil Bennet - oops - already got canned.....
GAMES OF THE WEEK:
MICHIGAN AT MooU - Need I say More?
SUCKEYES AT THE CHEESEHEADS: Should be interesting, but SUCKEYES SURVIVE.....
LMU at SATAN LAND: Can Les keep his record in the SEC to one loss or does SATAN find a way to beat his former school???
Did you read this far? The answer is C. Yeah, I know - the Little Brown Jug was PURCHASED in 1903 and left behind....A letter was written by the great Yost to say send it back after it was left behind in a stand emptying field rush when the Gophers tied the game late at 6-6...this is the first score recorded on the Jug....But Yost and company didn't go back and actually play for the Jug again until 1909....that's when the first Battle occurred....I know, trick question....

Building to the End (10-26-07)
I hate to start with another rant - but I have to do this. I read in an article that the play-off in Division 1AA is actually going to EXPAND in the future...Or they are at least considering it....Now, this is the same NCAA governing body for these schools and they have presidents just like other Division 1A schools that see this AS A GOOD THING! SO, HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU MAKE THE ARGUMENT that Division 1A would "suffer" because students would miss more class, there would be too many games, etc.......Please, can we just get on with a play-off of some sort and stop all this nonsense? I am sick of the NCAA not getting more serious about bringing the necessary parties to the table, get past the GREED (Which really, is what this is all about...Dollars....Sad) and figure out that they could make even more money if they set it up right.....OK, sorry about that...I know you don't want my opinion on a play off system...That's not why you read this drivel
In Wolverine Country, this was the original Final Four......It used to be that once the Wolverines had completed 6 or 7 games of their season, the final four would loom out there....The 4 were usually a mixture of Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue, sometimes, Iowa, and of course, that nasty, stinky, smelly little school from down south....The order would of course change, with the exception of the last, but the final four meant that you were pushing to the end and usually a climatic finish against those aforementioned Suckeyes.....This year, it's no different. With the Wolverines changing QB's and Running Backs like a Dad changes batteries in new toys on Christmas Day, the Wolverines handled an upstart Zookie team, after spotting them 7 points in the first minute of play. Not a good thing when you choose to defer until the second half....So, Henne got the job done injured without Mike Hart back there to carry the workload....And the Defense looked good, also....But, that APP STATE loss is looming ever larger now....Sure, Oregon shellacked us, but that 1AA loss is really stinging...It could all be different right now....But, such is the mess we are in....
SEC - Yes Caryl, I have been watching....More teams ranked in the Top 25, tons of respect, yadda, yadda, yadda....But, I have to admit, this conference has more going on than a 3 ring circus....If you couldn't watch any football on Saturday - a quick synopsis:
Vanderbilt - The Northwestern of the SEC, known for its academics, handed the Ole Ball Coach his first loss to Vandy-EVER.... I'm sure Steve was wishing he had a least one half of the offense he had while at Florida...
SATAN NATION: nick Satan, who suspended 5 players Saturday morning, starts the game with an ON SIDE KICK and goes on to Pummel the Fulmer Cremesicles...Who are starting to look less and less like an SEC team and look more like a Big Ten or Big 12 team....
GATORLAND: The Urban "Legend" Meyer Weiner show went on the road with a week of rest and caught the Kentucky Wildcats after an emotional victory over LMU....I believe you were lucky to have that week off, Gatorfan....Kentucky is good enough to beat you and probably would have if Tebow hadn't had such a great game....
And of course, let's not forget LMU.....Now, listen people - there are some things that are pretty obvious to this fan....One is, when you are down one point with 18 seconds left, deep in enemy territory, you run the ball to the last 3 seconds, - PROTECT THAT BALL!!!!!, call time out and you set up in the middle of the field to turn the game over to your trustworthy, 170 pound kicker....Yep, that's what you do if your a Michigan Coach or a Michigan man - Descendant of Bo....But, because that's WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS YOU'RE GONNA DO - Les "Call me Mr. Lucky" decides to tell his QB that if they line up one on one on with Byrd, the wideout, you go deep.....Jeez, so much for protecting the ball and playing it safe.....And what do you know? LMU beats Tommy Tutone in a thriller with a last second TD(how many times has that happened to Auburn?)....but was that wise? The ball could have been picked off....Man, the guy has gambler in him the likes of which I have never seen....Or is he just smarter than everybody else????
SPARTY - SUCKEYES: What happened? Are the SUCKEYES that good or were you guys just a little shell shocked...The first half produced nothing on offense and then the Italian Stallion turned the D loose in the 2nd half and they put 14 on the board for you and it's still not enough to change the tide....Oh well, I think you have a chance to win at least one more - maybe 2 if you're lucky (Purdue and Iowa)....But in my opinion, this was a winnable game for you if you played like you had the week before....But, it is October and November and you are the SPARTIES....I guess if you played all your games in August and September, you would be REALLY GOOD!
cornsuckers - I can't even capitalize it anymore....Man, how far this program has fallen...I guess you fire Callahan, especially for calling the new AD a "crsuty old piece of Shit" who was trying to run things from Washingyon..... and figure out how to pick up the pieces....Losing by a boat load to Texas A&M is no way to bounce back ...At least Osborn is too classy to can Bill mid season....But still, where has the pride in this program gone? With Texas, Kansas, K-State and Colorado left, it could be a season kind of like the next guys.....
domers - JEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS! After the latest Weasel comment, after being asked if this was bottom, "So let me just say that people better enjoy it and have thier fun now." Well, folks, I am here to tell you that I don't see any hope for the domers in the near future - AND PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING IT!!!! - I do see a LOT of Teams trying to figure out how to get the domers on their schedule for the easy W......Kids are bailing on the program left and right and the domers aren't even playing teams close....Damn the UCLA Bruins for not showing up for that game - they are going to hate themselves for that loss....I still think the 0-fer would have been cool, but I guess 1-11 will show the world even more that you had to play that season and you didn't forfeit them all.....Man, you guys really suck and this is karma for your greed....I am not even sure what conference would take you as you would bring them down....So, are all the fan clubs rotating sending that bucket of fried chicken so Wuzzles ges one every day of the week? Because with what I am sure is a $10M buyout clause, you guys are stuck with this guy till he kicks.....
HOKIES - OK - BIG GAME ON THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS....BC coming to down undefeated...Do your job and get this BCS Mess even Messier.....
UCLA - the aforementioned Brew-Ins started their 1st string against the Cal Bears and defeated a top ten team.....This of course, was the Same Brew-In team that lost to the "Wait till next Year" domers.....I can't figure these clowns out....
RUTGERS - Thank you, Mr Shining, for beating the USF Bulls....I couldn't have watched a National Championship with that team in it.....
Did anyone know that Miami and FSU played this past weekend....Nope, me either....but Miami won....
HOT SEAT:
Fullmer - How does this guy hang around? Tennessee fan will want his head if they don't make a bowl....
Callahan - Never call the most legendary former coach of the school you are coaching a crusty old piece of shit (even if he is....)
Weasel - There is probably a rich Alumni group raising money to buy this guy out.....I hear the Pope even got a call.....(Sorry, Your Popeness)
Brewster - Minnesota - If they hated Glen Mason, this guy has to have worn out his welcome by losing to MAC, 1AA and lesser opponents....
GAMES OF THE WEEK:
Hokies host the Holy Warriors of BC - Look for the Hokies to upset BC.....Big
USC at OREGON: My guess is Oregon uses this to launch themselves back into the National Title Discussion...
OSU AT PSU: Night Game - WHITE OUT.....PSU Fandomonium will rattle the Suckeyes....Can they survive Happy Valley?
OSU at OU: Oklahoma's version of Michigan -Michigan State....Look out for the Cowboys to give Stupor all he can handle.....
MMQ

Well, folks, I am here to tell you that I don't see any hope for the domers in the near future - AND PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING IT!!!! - I do see a LOT of Teams trying to figure out how to get the domers on their schedule for the easy W......Kids are bailing on the program left and right and the domers aren't even playing teams close....Damn the UCLA Bruins for not showing up for that game - they are going to hate themselves for that loss....I still think the 0-fer would have been cool, but I guess 1-11 will show the world even more that you had to play that season and you didn't forfeit them all.....Man, you guys really suck and this is karma for your greed....I am not even sure what conference would take you as you would bring them down....So, are all the fan clubs rotating sending that bucket of fried chicken so Wuzzles ges one every day of the week? Because with what I am sure is a $10M buyout clause, you guys are stuck with this guy till he kicks.....
HOKIES - OK - BIG GAME ON THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS....BC coming to down undefeated...Do your job and get this BCS Mess even Messier.....
UCLA - the aforementioned Brew-Ins started their 1st string against the Cal Bears and defeated a top ten team.....This of course, was the Same Brew-In team that lost to the "Wait till next Year" domers.....I can't figure these clowns out....
RUTGERS - Thank you, Mr Shining, for beating the USF Bulls....I couldn't have watched a National Championship with that team in it.....
Did anyone know that Miami and FSU played this past weekend....Nope, me either....but Miami won....
HOT SEAT:
Fullmer - How does this guy hang around? Tennessee fan will want his head if they don't make a bowl....
Callahan - Never call the most legendary former coach of the school you are coaching a crusty old piece of shit (even if he is....)
Weasel - There is probably a rich Alumni group raising money to buy this guy out.....I hear the Pope even got a call.....(Sorry, Your Popeness)
Brewster - Minnesota - If they hated Glen Mason, this guy has to have worn out his welcome by losing to MAC, 1AA and lesser opponents....
GAMES OF THE WEEK:
Hokies host the Holy Warriors of BC - Look for the Hokies to upset BC.....Big
USC at OREGON: My guess is Oregon uses this to launch themselves back into the National Title Discussion...
OSU AT PSU: Night Game - WHITE OUT.....PSU Fandomonium will rattle the Suckeyes....Can they survive Happy Valley?
OSU at OU: Oklahoma's version of Michigan -Michigan State....Look out for the Cowboys to give Stupor all he can handle.....

Monday Afternoon Special (10-15-07)
Okay, I admit...occassionally I am wrong....Nebraska DIDN'T fire head coach Bill Callahan after signing him to a 5 year extension....They instead fired the AD Steve Pederson after giving HIM a 5 year extension.....
So, who will Nebraska get to run the program? And will he bring in a coach that understands that the Cornsuckers are all about the Walk-On program? Apparently, Callahan did away with that when he came in and that has the fans even more pissed off with the guy then they nornally are with their coach...And according to ESPN and other sources, Callahan doesn't embrace the champions of the past as he should......
I wonder if Osbourne is available as AD or in some other capacity....And what is Solich doing? The guy only went 9-3 every year and got them to a major bowl game....I guess that isn't good enough.....So, since 1997 it's been downhill for the Cornsuckers with no end in sight......Can anyone say DOMERS???????
And why is it that there aren't any descendants of Osbourne that are coaching somewhere that want to come in and right the ship?
So many questions, so little time.....

BCS Mess (10-15-07)
You know, anyone who doesn't watch the 12 week playoff that is College Football is really missing something....This season is going to make a lot of the bowls seem anticlimatic, to say the least, and if there was EVER an argument for an 8 or 16 team play-off, this would be the year....But more on that in a second...
(After reading this, I just had to put it first....It's high time for history to change)
Folks, I was a big opponent of a 1A play-off when it was first proposed, but THIS FAN BELIEVES IT'S HIGH TIME FOR A 1A COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF....The regular season games will still mean a lot, if not more than usual, and you have to win your conference to have an automatic bid, or win your division championship game to get in....The Big Ten and Pac 10 needs to add a team and two teams, respectively - DAMN YOU DOMERS - JEEZ I HATE THESE GUYS! (Sorry Pope, I just had to say it to get it off my chest) that won't be the Domers and go to a division championship.. that would make 12 automatic bids of the so-called "SUPER CONFERENCES" Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12, PAC 10 and combine the Weak East and C-USA..... AND NO MORE PRESEASON CRAP AGAINST DIVISION 1AA or anyone else.... EVERYONE PLAYS EVERYONE IN THEIR CONFERENCE ONLY. So, in a 12 team conference you would have an 11 game season, everyone plays everyone (AND SEASON TICKET HOLDERS DON'T GET STUCK WATCHING AN EASTERN GAME IN OCTOBER)...Let the next 4 ranked teams that are not already in that equation into the Play-Off and seed them accordingly. You play at the home of the team with the better record. That's it. In 5 weeks, you will crown the champion....About the same amount of time that usually transpires after the last season game. All the games end on Thanksgiving weekend.....Then, you will get all of December for games and end up with your January Bowl for the Championship. You can still qualify for Bowls like you did before, and if we lose some of the fleabag bowls, so be it - NO GREAT LOSS TO HAVE TO "PAY" TO GO TO A LESSER BOWL.... And The SEC just might have to travel to the Big House or some other Cold, Barren, PERHAPS SNOWY Place to play a game...Then we'll see who the tough teams are.....
Losses will mean less - assuming of course that you win the Championship Game or have the regular season best Record, and a non-conference loss will be non-existent......
Is there a simpler solution?????? I can't think of one....But I am willing to entertain ideas....
WOLVERINES - the Mighty Maize and Blue came through in what had to be one of the best Offensive and Defensive performances of the year....And having only attended two games this year and only seen the Maize and Blue play 4 games this year- THANKS TO THE BTN (BULL!@#$% TEN NETWORK), I have to say that our overall team speed has really improved or Purdue is just REALLY SLOW....I am thinking it's more of the latter, but maybe the Mighty Machine is getting a little better....Only problem is that with 2 losses, and one being to a 1AA school, it's going to be difficult for the pollsters to rank us higher than any other 2 loss team....Notice the fact that we are still not ranked above the Nittany Kitty Kats (ranked 25) who we beat. We are ranked 26th.......so coaches, along with everyone else, have no respect teams that lose to 1AA rivals.....So, Michigan needs to be ready to play an up and coming Zookie Ilini team that got caught looking ahead.....
SPARTY: Great job beating Indiana, a team you are supposed to beat. Ringer is really running the ball well.....Now, normally, I hold the belief that I want EVERY TEAM THAT MICHIGAN STILL HAS TO PLAY UNDEFEATED WHEN THEY PLAY US....And it will still be fine if you pull a SPARTY and Lose to the Suckeyes....We will get them undefeated at home and when we beat them and deny their conference title, it will really throw a monkey wrench into the BCS....Or, if you do beat them, I want every other 1 loss team out there to get beat....And it's looking feasible....So, either way, I guess I can live with it.....SPARTY - By the Way, did you see that nearly one half of your COLLEGE BASKETBALL games are on the BTN? ISN'T THAT GREAT!!!????!!!!
DOMERS: (Jeez, I hate these guys) Man, you guys really suck....Your Defense scores 7 for you and holds a Boston College Team that had been averaging 30 some points a game to 24 and the Offensive Genius Charlie Weasel can't seem to figure out how to move the ball....You want some advice? Forget about Clausen this year. Start the Michigan Kid for the Defense's sake and try to stay in some games.....Seeing as how you screwed up the 0-Fer dream already.....
LMU: Well, I didn't think I was going to have to get on Les Miles for being an idiot until he was actually coaching Michigan....But I think when your in the second overtime and everyone knows that you have 4 downs to get the first down and expects you to run the ball, THAT A PASS MIGHT WORK IN THAT SITUATION!!!!! Jeeez....If I'm an LMU fan Sunday Morning, I am pretty ticked and looking to kick the guy to the curb....So, Michigan's price tag to get Les might have just dropped a little......LMU still has Auburn and a psychological test with Satan on the schedule....Not to mention Arkansas....So, the price tag for Les may drop more if he stumbles again...but I would still take him...
CAL: The Bears squandered a great opportunity to be ranked #1......Just shows to go ya of how hard it is to win when you are not accustomed to it....
GATORLAND: Urban "Whiner" should start his tirade a little earlier this year if his team manages to win out and beats South Carolina, who's only loss is to LMU.....Hopefully, Urban Legend will get his way, because if that happens, the Crocodiles, who have no business being discussed in a Naitional Championship game, a Play-Off can't be far behind....
CORNSUCKERS: Man oh Man....I didn't know how low a program could go.....Losing to Okie Dokie State on your home turf is bad enough, but getting SHELLED and more or less losing the game in the 1st half has to be new low....If Callahan isn't on the hotseat after Solich got shown the door for after a whole lot more success, I don't know what the world of Nebraska Football is coming to........
HOKIES: Do your job this week....Beat Boston College at Home....Remember, this was a team that everyone picked DEAD LAST in their division of the ACC....So don't let this undefeated record rattle you.....
SATAN NATION: Alabama squeaked by with a win and will keep the ROll TIDE chants alive....Beat the Cremesicles and pull off the not so impossible dream of upsetting LMU at home on november 10th, then he cements his job for at least 2 years.....But he needs to beat Tommy Twotone to really turn the heat down...
So, the BCS Championship Game, based on the 1-2 currently in the BCS Standings, could pit a team from Florida that has only played Division 1A football for 11 years....and they will have qualified for that honor by playing in the Weak East and on top of that, if everything holds true, you will have a SUCKEYE team that will have won a Big Ten Championship in what everyone agrees is the "weakest" of the Big conferences....So, where does that leave the state of college Football? You will have at least 4 tearms (LMU, USC, Boston College, Oklahoma) Screaming that they are the best team, and I can see the argument for two of them right now - LMU and the Laters.....To throw ANOTHER Fly into the ointment, suppose the Suckeyes lose to Michigan at Michigan and end up with one loss and USC loses again, LMU loses again, and somehow someone beats the Stupor Okie Dokies.....(Missouri in the title game, for instance.) Does that mean a 1 loss OSU team that DOESN'T EVEN WIN THEIR CONFERENCE gets a shot at the Title Game, a la Nebraska in 2001?
GAMES OF THE WEEK
MICHIGAN at ZOOKIELAND: Night game, spread offense....My guess is there will be some really loud fans in Champaign as Saturday night football makes it's first appearance....
Boston College goes to HOKIE LAND: I hope this is where the Eagles get brought back to reality....
Tommy Twotone at LMU: Lookout - Tommy and Les are officially tied in the SEC west...and Tommy knows how to win on the road.....LMU better figure out how to keep it going after tripping at Kentucky....
Cremesicles at Satan Nation: If Fullmer wins, he keeps his job...If Satan wins. the Roll Tide Chants may get louder than anyone can Bear.....
RUBBERS AT DOMERS: Normally, a game that means something....But this will be fun to watch the Weasel get beat by a USC team decimated by injury.....
On the Hot Seat:
Callahan....How can he not be? Nebraska, with a 4-3 record, still needs two wins to get a bowl nod....with Texas, Texas A&M, Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado still on the schedule, that's a MIGHTY TALL ORDER....Look for Nebraska's last game of the season to be against Colorado the day after Turkey Day, with Callahan getting the pink slip the Saturday after....
Wanstadt: If I am a Pittsburgh fan, and I am in the Weak East with only 7 other teams, I have to keep asking myself, How can a once proud University not compete in this league? Look for Dave to get the ax or at least get shown that Pitt is serious about winning...
Pete Carrol - is the love affair nearly over? In the what have you done for me lately atmosphere of LA, Pete not making the Championship game two years in a row "with ALL THAT TALENT" may have people asking if the game has passed him by.....Only problem is that there are 100 other 1A schools that would jump on him in a heartbeat, so USC has to realize he's not all that bad....
