Screw Job

Lets break it down today, at first I wasn't that mad but looking at it more and more Michigan got screwed and should be playing in the national championship game.

Look at these points

1)If Michigan-Ohio St was played on Dec 2nd and the same result would have occurred...Michigan would have been voted number 2 in the polls and Michigan would be in Glendale

2)How can someone say clearly in their mind that Florida is better then Michigan

Michigan did not have a close game all yr...sure they beat Ball St. by 8 and Northwestern 17-3 but they were bored in those games...its pretty obvious. While Florida on the other hand should have lost to...South Carolina, Georgia, and prolly Tennessee.

3)I understand the SEC is a tough conference but have a stronger non-conference competition then 3 cupcakes (Southern Miss, Central Florida and Western Carolina) Florida St is decent but they are bad this year...Michigan played a decent SEC team (Vanderbilt) who only lost to Florida by 11 and who lost to Michigan 27-3, Central Michigan which one the MAC and Ball St. (which was the newly add NCAA 12th game this yr)

I really believe that the facts are there and Michigan got screwed...hopefully Michigan smokes USC in the Rose Bowl and the National Championship is like a 0-0 tie (I know that can't happen) but since I hate both teams I wish it could happen

Millen Fired?

Basically it Comes down to this...The rumor has it Millen is done sometime soon...hopefully sooner than later but I'm happy hopefully one day soon the lions will rise again...I'm holding out slight hope.

I think Michigan is gonna go to Rose Bowl...here is what they should do...USC VS Michigan in Rose Bowl and winner plays national champ game but that is a playoff and we know that is not going to happen for a while.

The Pistons are looking good (9-5 have won 6 str) Ben Wallace is having problems with the bulls and i love it. I'm so glad they didn't resign him

The Red Wings are also ok this yr not as good as in years past but the strike 2 years ago is hurting ticket sales big time...Hockey is only really worth watching in the playoffs

Football Preview

College
LSU Vs Ark: I like LSU (-1.5)...LSU has a great run d finally brings ark mircale season to an end 17-14 LSU

ND VS USC: I like ND to win outright(+7)...the luck of the Irish that is it 31-27 ND

FLA Vs FSU: FSU (+9.5)...FLA will win this one but FSU keeps it close...21-20 FLA

Pros
New England Vs Chi: NE(-3)..cant pick against brady...21-13 over the bears
Indy Vs Philly: Indy (-9) Jeff Garcia sucks plan and simple...35-13 Indy

Possible a little BCS and NFL playoff picture next week

Turkey Day Tradtion

Well another Turkey Day....Another Lions lost

this time to Joey Blueskys and the Dolphins...Millen needs to go and that is all I have to say about the lions

2-9 they are worse then they where last year at this time and the next thing Mooch was let go so we will see what happens with Millen


I'm Gonna to try to keep the faith and root for them but they are just hard to watch anymore. I guess you can say I have given up

A few random thought:

-Thanks, Bo. you made the Michigan football program what it is today, even that I was a young pup when you left coaching, I still know the impact you made on my team.

-Joey comes in on Turkey Day: Its gonna be a circus and guess what the Lions are going to get smoked: 24-10 Dolphins, Joey throws for 300 and a couple of touchdowns

-LT is the fantasyfootball machine, I do not think we will ever see anything like he is doing this year for a long time.

-Should there be a rematch between MICH-OSU, I believe yes it is the two best teams and it would be a another great game but if USC wins out I think they will get it and Michigan will play a rematch...against the Irish

Michigan Vs Ohio St

On Nov 18th at 3:30 in the afternoon the big game will be played and its the biggest big game of all time.

5 keys to the game


1)Who Controls The Line (We know Michigan wants to run can the bucks stop them and can Michigan d-line contain smith)
2)Turnovers (Bucks are +14 in the turnover dept...Mich is +12)
3)Special Teams (Ohio St has always had good kickers)
4)who plays better Smith or Henne
5)Can Michigan cover Ginn and company

My prediction

In a very close game back and forth for the whole affair...I like Michigan 24-21

P.s. Right now the line on this one is Ohio St. -6.5

Lets Go Blue
