The first thing I want to do after Michigan State's disappointing last-second loss to Iowa is to give some due credit to the Hawkeyes for their incredible defensive effort. That was the best play by a front defensive four that I've seen all season, and the inability of the Michigan State ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
I will say that I have a lot of respect for guys like Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford and Florida's TimTebow for caring about collegiate competition, their teammates, and their respective school communities enough to stay in school and chase national titles. It shows that money is not the only thing ...Published on: 3rd October, 2009
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time outThere's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out I doubt that Cat Stevens was considering the plight of the Detroit Lions when he penned his famous song about searching through life, but it seems ...Published on: 27th September, 2009
Guillaume de L'Hospital, the great 17th century French Mathematician, wrote the first book of differential calculus and is largely credited with the invention of "L'Hospital's rule" an expression that allows for the solving of limits of indeterminate form. What does this have to do with the Detroit Lions? Well the numbers ...Published on: 5th September, 2009
Let me be clear about the punch thrown by Oregon's LeGarrette Blount in the aftermath of the Ducks humiliating defeat at the hands of Boise State: It has no place in collegiate athletics and his year-long suspension is severe, but justified. But let's talk about the other guy, the guy that ...Published on: 3rd September, 2009
Growing up I didn't like the University of Michigan for a number of reasons, many of them stemming from the simple situational condition of being a Michigan State fan. My family were Sparty people after-all, my Grandfather a dean of the education school, and I was brain-washed early and ...Published on: 13th August, 2009
In the annals of football lore there is a story about a player who came from nothing, achieved everything, then threw it all away. Well there's a number actually (perhaps more than I care to admit) but I've got a particular one on my mind tonight. One that keeps on irritating ...Published on: 12th August, 2009
O.K. I know I said that drafting Matthew Stafford would be asinine. I'll stand by that because it's not the numbers play, and neglects some gaping holes particular up front on both sides of the ball. Great teams are generally forged inside out. But after it was a done deal he instantly became ...Published on: 9th August, 2009
The rain came down from the puffy grey heavens dusting the dirty concrete until it glimmered something like silver. And though the skies enveloped the sun such that it was impossible to tell the time of day, for the faithful that stood in line to catch a glimpse at the ...Published on: 7th August, 2009
If I may paraphrase the late great Brad Nowell of Sublime: He smokes two joints in the morning, He smokes two joints at night, He smokes two joints in the afternoon, It makes him feel alright. He smokes two joints in times of peace, And two in times of war, He smokes two joints before he smokes ...
