Thanks to Gar for reminding me that I saw this quote yesterday…
“I’m not rooting for Michigan,” said head coach Mark Dantonio, who has spent 11 of the last 14 years working for Michigan State or Ohio State. “I’m going to focus on our task at hand here and worry about the things we [...]

Northwestern tailgate and banquet photos are here.
The bottom.  The ground floor.  This has to be it.
Rumors swirl of transferring players, we endure lost recruit commitments, and the rabid fans need to “get a life.” All of it takes center stage with The Game approaching, and the media is enjoying picking at the carcass of what [...]

In a little over a month from now, several of us will transition from our normal everyday lives to a state of unreality. Those unprepared will crumble under the pressure. They will neglect to go to bed early enough the night before. They will forget to pace themselves. They will drink too much. They will [...]

As you know, the entire lot of recruited high school athletes make their decisions known on national signing day, which this year fell on February 8th. Terrelle Pryor did not, and opted to hold out for the free agent signing period. The free agent signing period is a little known part of the [...]

…I would like to remind you that you are rooting for Les Miles and LSU tonight. Big Ten loyalty is something you cherish if you are Northwestern, Indiana, or Michigan State. Ohio State is something you root against if you have any loyalty to Michigan at all. So, don the purple and [...]

Dumping gasoline on the fire…it’s time for me to eat a little crow.
Back on 11/13, in the weekend roundup, I called out this post for being ridiculous, or in my words, “the definition of grasping at straws.” Ohio State at the time had to A) Beat Michigan and B) Move up 6 places in [...]

Freezing temps. 4:15am wake up call. In line at 5:45am. In a folding chair staking claim on the 7th hole green at 6am. Gates open at 7am. Tailgate.
It was a truly amazing turnout for a game with limited tickets and freezing rain in the forecast.
The tables were once again filled, [...]

The season started with hype that was unachievable, a loss for the ages that was unbelievable, and a beat down by Oregon that, in the Big House, was inconceivable. “Lloyd should step down!” the legions of fans shouted as the town burned down around them.
