Michigan football team is dysfunctional

In a post echoing Peter Bigelow’s argument that Michigan needed polish and poise I had this to say: Illinois is the next yardstick.  If we can’t beat up on the worst team in the league like everyone else then 1) the hole from last years “the horror” is deeper than I had thought and 2) [...]

Obligatory Did You Know? YouTube video

I sure you have already received this in your InBox, Twitter, or Facebook feed but thought it was worth posting:

Wolverines need polish and poise

I have to agree with this Peter Bigelow article on what the Michigan football teams needs to show the rest of the season: They’re not Penn State yet, and that’s fine. No one expects them to be playing at that level halfway through Rodriguez’s second year of a big-time rebuilding project. But it’s fair to [...]

Michigan football flunks its test

Well, ain’t that a poke in the eye?!?!?  Man, did that suck or what?  The Michigan Wolverines first drive was great.  From that point on they displayed the polar opposite of what I said they needed.  Turnovers, dropped passes, critical penalties, bad decisions, just about everything you expect from an undisciplined team not ready to [...]

As soon as I posted about starting to blog again I came down with a nasty cold and barely felt like doing anything for a week.  This blogging thing is trickier to restart than I thought. I am good at thinking about all kids of posts.  But when it comes to actually writing and posting [...]

One more time … with feeling

I am going to try and jump start this blog (in reality the original blog) and begin posting again. I have often thought about making it a blog focused on one particular interest of mine: sports, my faith, my family, etc.  But I never really had the time or energy to pull something like that [...]
