Going on a Posting Binge because I’m in class and don’t feel like studying.

Fun Bullet Point Time, Hooray!

  • Mike Hart stated a few fun things in a chat with ESPN.com people in EPSN’s retarded SportsNation things. Most interestingly, he stated that He (capitalized because He is a god) and Hene were coming back “because we’ve gotta beat O-State.” In the same interview-like ubstance, he said that the hardest hitter in the country is UM’s pwn Dave Harris (ed note: he is right).
  • In the same interview-like substance-like material, Leon Hall said that the wolverine D was going to hit JDB hard in the Rose Bowl because “somebody’s got to pay for what happened.” In a related note, John David Booty officially hates Urban Meyer and Gary Danielson.
  • Re: BCS mess (and yes, I can reply to my own post), all this confusion about the BCS, voting, etc. just goes to show that perhaps the best (or even only viable?) type of poll for college football would be one like the BlogPoll. Voters are held accountable for the way they vote, there is an intelligent proprietor, and GASP! people actually watch the games! Thinking about the virtues of BlogPoll really makes me want to participate next year.
  • Coming soon to a blog near you!: Rose Bowl previews, mega-early 2007 season previews, and much, much more! I’ll probably get back into this “blogging” thing a bit more, now that school crunch time and Varsity Blue (the show, not the blog, silly) are over.

The week after

Some observations:

* The majority of OSU people actually weren’t that bad, aside from saying “fuck you, faggot” whenever they saw someone in a Michigan shirt
* The fans who were actually bad, were very, very bad.
* I only got one thing thrown at me, and it hilariously missed and hit my cousin (In her Ginn jersey) in the back of the head. She will be the first to tell you that “the back of the head” is not your first choice of where to get hit by an unopened beer.
* I was actually embarrassed for most of the students that tried to make fun of me. I had been unaware that “faggot” was still used as an insult outside of maybe backwater Alabama or someplace.
* Ross Homan is an OK guy.
* ESPN needs to do something about regulating the number of signs at GameDay. It has gotten absolutely out of control, ruining whatever it was that made the idea so cool in the first place.

You are red. We are Blue. We all must die

I think the only three words routinely taught to Ohio State students are “fuck,” “faggot,” and “Michigan.”

Stanton gives edge to Michigan

“No disrespect to Ohio State,” Stanton said of a defense that knocked him out with neck and back woes. “But that Michigan defense reminds me of last year’s Ohio State defense.”

More complete analysis later, but first I want to say this:

The Penn State students that I encountered were at least as bad (from a classiness standpoint) than OSU’s were 2 years ago. On Friday night and Saturday morning, I didn’t wear Michigan gear because I literally feared for my life. I didn’t have this problem when I went to OSU.

Exactly the type of game I wanted to see

The win over Minnesota was the perfect game for Michigan to have at this point in the season. It was close enough that they won’t start thinking they’re invincible, but wide enough a margin that it was never really in doubt. If the Maize and Blue can utterly dominate a game in which they record no sacks and force no turnovers, the performances can only get better in other games, as those stats get back up to their normal levels. The team held one of the best rushing attacks in the country to just 108 yards. They have proven they can stop the run. Two passing TDs were given up by a player who was only starting because Morgan Trent was injured.

Thus far, there is the perfect balance of humility and swagger in this team.
