Michigan deserves to play in the BCS National Championship Game more than Florida

Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

Florida is a good team, no doubt, and Urban Meyer has done a great job stepping into that position and turning Florida back into a dominant program. Congratulations, enjoy the Sugar Bowl. Michigan is the clear choice to play Ohio State on January 8, for the BCS National Championship. Of course, we will all find [...]

Friday, December 1st, 2006

The Bears return to Soldier Field this Sunday to face their division rival, the Minnesota Vikings. In their previous meeting the Bears relied on a late Rex Grossman to Rashied Davis touchdown to beat the Vikings in Minneapolis.
The Bears come into this weeks game on the heels of a tough loss to the Patriots. [...]

SeatSmart – Sporting Events Ticket Search Engine

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

SeatSmart is a sports ticket search engine. They highlight available tickets from outlets such as: StubHub, RazorGator, TicketsNow, ebay, and Rallytix.com. The interface of the site is pretty spartan. The site/software is currently in beta, so I’m not sure if that will be enhanced or if this is what they’re planning on sticking with. I [...]

Bears vs. Patriots Recap

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Ok, I’ve been back and forth about Rex Grossman. I think I’ll stick with “He sucks”. Three more picks tonight against the Patriots (all by Asante Samuel). It’s not just Grossman though, the receivers dropped a ton of balls the last couple games. This team needs some help. Is Brian Griese the answer? I don’t [...]

Michigan vs. Ohio State Recap

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

I have to say, I feel sick right now. What a heartbreaker, and also, what a great game. I had wondered if any game could live up to they hype that this game received. I think this one did. It was a chess match on every side of the ball.
Jim Tressel (still don’t like him) [...]

This weekend is “Rivalry Weekend” in college football. The Crown Jewel of this weekend is the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. There has been talk from various sports media outlets debating what the best college football rivalry is. I have tried to look at this objectively (admittedly impossible), and it’s not even [...]

Bears vs. Giants Recap

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

After watching the first half of this game I was a little worried. The Bears looked terrible. Their running game was abysmal and their passing attack wasn’t much better. Rex Grossman didn’t have time, and when he did have time his happy feet forced him to throw a bad ball. Not that his receivers helped [...]

Bears vs. Giants preview

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

The Bears face a banged up New York Giants team this week, and it’s a good thing. They need to get back on track. It looks like the Bears will be hitting the Giants at a good time. The Giants defense will most likely be without starters, Lavar Arrington (achilles), Osi Umenyiora (hip flexor), Michael [...]
