When the news first broke about Notre Dame playing Western Michigan, I wasn't too upset. It wasn't officially announced by Notre Dame, yet, so we hadn't had a chance to hear from Jack Swarbrick on the matter. I figured there were many mitigating circumstances around the situation. But then Jack Swarbrick did discuss the issue, and now I'm not happy. We had a number of teams working very hard to try to move other games, to get their conference to make concessions in the conference ...
Things That Suck
The Worst Thing that Happened This Weekend
We'd be horribly remiss if we didn't mention the most horrible and sad thing to happen this weekend in college football: The death of UConn DB Jasper Howard. He was murdered near the UConn student union the night after a game in which he had a career-high 11 tackles and a forced fumble which he himself recovered. Randy Edsall pretty well summed up the shock of this terrible moment: "One of my sons has been taken away," he said. "There is nothing in my job description that says you have ...

Incompetence To Take Spotlight Sept. 12th
We already knew this much: Come Sept 12th, either Notre Dame would defeat a fumbling and bumbling Michigan (sucks!) in Ann Arbor, shining a light on the program Rich Rodriguez seems hell-bent on beating with the mishap stick every day and twice on gameday, or Notre Dame would lose to Michigan (sucks!) in inexplicable fashion. And by "inexplicable," we mean that Weis and company learned nothing, zip, zilch, zero over the last 2 seasons, and have instead decided to forge through the jungle of the ...
They’re Nothing But A Bunch of Pansies!
There's simply no spinning this. The final regular-season ballots in the USA TODAY Coaches' Poll will no longer be made public beginning with the 2010 football season, according to a person with knowledge of the information who didn't want to be identified because he wasn't authorized to comment before an announcement today from the American Football Coaches Association. Make no mistake about it, this was all done in order for the coaches to be as self-serving as possible. Coaches ...
I love this site.
WalmartWolverines.com A Walmart Wolverine is a self-proclaimed “huge†University of Michigan fan that never attended the University. Excellent. (And yes. This is mean. I'm mean. I deal with it. So should you.) Note that the site specifies those who "never attended" UM(s!). Because 80% of the state of Michigan "attended" UM(s!) at one point or another. ...
Michigan (sucks!), Rich Rod, Losing More Games Than The Program Has Ever Lost In One Season Deemed Insufferable
Yeah, I know I said I was going to "do better" with the blogging, and the life, and the dietary habits... Well, sometimes you have to skip out on the diet when the right cookie is sitting in front of you, and right now, there's one hell of a cookie being plated by Brian Cook. There will be significant attrition this offseason. The first to fall: In today’s weekly Big Ten teleconference, Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said sophomore Zion Babb was no longer with the team. Rodriguez ...
The Worst Football Coach in the Universe
Editor's Note: Thanks to Jonathan Chait, UM(s!) grad and gigantic dweeb, for the "inspiration" for this post. Ain't karma a pain in the butt, Jonathan? In the entire history of American sports hype, has there ever been any fraud more grossly fraudulent than Michigan (sucks!) football coach Rich Rodriguez? Rodriguez's wimpering Wolverines now stand at 2-4. This record is only the faintest indicator of just how awful Michigan (sucks) is. They have lost to a MAC team for the first time in ...
