Which of my favorite teams would I want to win a championship?

Monday, January 29th, 2007

As I have been thinking about the Bears being in the Super Bowl, a question has popped into my head. Of all of my favorite teams (University of Michigan football, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears), which would I most want to win a championship. It has caused me great inner struggle. Which team would it be? [...]

Florida vs. Ohio State – BCS National Championship Game Recap

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Well, I have to admit, that the BCS National Championship game did not turn out the way that I anticipated. Coming in I thought the Gators were over-matched. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Florida’s defense made Ohio State’s offense look silly. Of course the loss of Ted Ginn Jr. was huge for Ohio State, [...]

Michigan vs. USC – Rose Bowl Recap

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Outplayed and outcoached. I want to leave it at that, but it would probably be better for me if I was able to let it out. So I will try. The Rose Bowl (presented by Citi, of course) left me with a lot of questions. Why does Michigan shit the bed in bowl games? Are [...]

Michigan vs. USC in the Rose Bowl

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

Let the controversy begin. Michigan gets snubbed by the BCS, they’ll play in the Rose Bowl against the USC Trojans. Florida will play Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. This is a rematch of the 2004 Rose Bowl in which USC was victorious. This game is a disappointment for each team. Both teams [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
