What a Crazy Season!?!
This has been the weirdest college football season that I can remember. Does any team want to win the national championship this year? I think that LSU has already locked in their spot with an amazing win last night, but who's going to join them in the B(C)S title game?
Well, it won't be Michigan this season. However, I am more concerned about being bowl eligible than I am about winning the Big Ten. Both outcomes are still possible, but we need a healthy and fast defense as well as some more creative offensive play calling to have a shot at Ohio State this year (or Purdue or Illinois). The next two weeks for Michigan will be very difficult and go a long way towards determining whether the Big Ten title or bowl eligibility will be a bigger concern through the month of November.
While I won't go so far as to say that OSU is really good, they are by far the class of a very weak Big Ten at the halfway point of the season. Their defense is fast. Given their schedule, they have a decent shot of getting blown out in the national title game again this season.
I should have bet on Northwestern this year. MSU always melts down after their first loss of the season, and it's always so fun to watch them lose it.
Les Miles might be the popular choice to replace Lloyd Carr after this season (assuming Carr retires). However, am I the only one that wishes that for UM QB Jim "Fredo" Harbaugh didn't go on that rant about Michigan's academics before the season started? I think he'd be a much better fit for the program, given Les Miles's "loose morals". Damn you, Fredo. Damn you.
Would have been an interesting season for the RCI. Where are you at, RoopDogg?
ALSO - we were watching the UM-EMU game yesterday at Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a local soccer tournament that day and large groups of kids were coming in for lunch while we were watching the game. A bunch of kids in maize & blue jerseys was sitting near us. Seeing that we were cheering loudly for Michigan, they started cheering for EMU and booing Michigan every time we made a big play. I mean, seriously. THEY WERE WEARING MAIZE AND BLUE JERSEYS! WTF?!?
