Return to amateur sports

As an old guy, I would like to abolish national rankings.  No playoffs, no National champion.  Play for your conference championship, and then play in a Bowl game to represent your conference.  Take away the perception that unless you win a national championship your season is a failure.

Not as dead as you may think

I took my daughter down there Saturday night.  The Tigers were playing, there were shows at the Fox and Fillmore.  Parking lots were packed, and there were people everywhere.  The place was hopping.

Plus one for the noon start

I have always felt that 3:30/night games should be reserved for the "Big Games" .  Play the cupcakes at noon.

Plus, I have tickets to see RatDog the night of App St. so kind of needed the noon start.

Thanks DB!

No,

I don't get to hang out with my UM friends often enough.  MI football is when we get together, tailgate, watch the game, and then either celebrate or bitch and moan together afterwards.  Still nothing like being inside the stadium on game day.

Thanks MGoBlog!

Where else can you discuss Michigan Football, get the latest Game of Thrones/Walking Dead update, and vent your Festivus Grievances, all while enjoying a Friday night "What are you drinking?" thread???

Rematches

This thread made me curious as to the idea of a rematch and what that has meant historically.  Did some looking around and this is what I found:

Game 2 winner

FWIW 5 of 7 times the winner of the first game also takes the rematch, but both times the original loser wins, it's for all the marbles!

 

The Honey-do test

Lets compare these games to the chores on your honey-do list:

Alabama game:  Like cleaning out the garage, it would be great to do but not the end of the world if you don't.

Ohio:  Like painting the deck, a lot of work, but when its done it looks great and is something to enjoy for the rest of the year.

MSU: Pretty much the same as cleaning up after the dogs.  No glory, but its something that needs to be done.

I would also like to see...

U-M ranked in the top-25 at all times. 

Prediction:

Wife will once again ask, Why is it that you need to leave the house at 8am, and do not get home until after midnight for a 3 hour football game?

ANd yet....

Go Blue!

Just a suggestion:

I have two words for the Auburn Police:  Caller ID.....

Worst case

I think this is a worst case (hopefully) with the six wins indicated being locks.  ND/MSU/Ill/Iowa are the big question marks.  Could go 6-6, could go 10-2....

you're killing me!!!

Hey...you guys do know that I really need to start my diet today!?!?!

I Believe

That in the case of the MIchigan Wolverines, it is stadium capacity that pretty much dictates fan attendance...
