Wolverines
« Previous EntriesGod Hates Me
Sunday, November 28th, 2010So, it’s not bad enough that I’ve had the two weeks from Hell. My misfortune has carried over to my sports world. Denny Hamlin lost a lead in the final race to lost the NASCAR championship to Jimmie Johnson. The Denver Broncos are terrible on toast and can’t beat the lowly Oakland Raiders. Then yesterday, [...]
It’s College Football Season!
Sunday, September 5th, 2010And the babes are out in full force. My Michigan Wolverines won yesterday – okay, it was against freakin’ Connecticut – but it’s a good start to the season. Why Division I teams schedule such blowout-worthy games early on is beyond me, but it is a tradition that cannot end soon enough. Next week, the [...]
Well, We Survived
Friday, December 25th, 2009And I am now comfortably blogging from my laptop computer while wearing the fabulous slippers on the left, compliments of my brother-in-law and his family. Here are the highlights of the day: 1:00am – Julia woke up and wouldn’t go back to sleep. So, the missus brought her upstairs to sleep with us. That was [...]
Settling Up
Saturday, December 6th, 2008Never say that I don’t pay up on my bets. Every year, my brother-in-law (“Fish”) and I make our college football wager. I am a Michigan Wolverines fan, and he is a Penn State fan (and alum). For the past five years or so, we have made the same wager. The loser of the Michigan/Penn [...]
“Hitler Was A Good Leader, Too”
Saturday, October 18th, 2008“Good news, everyone! Lou Holtz is an idiot!” Ya know, it’s bad enough that my Michigan Wolverines are losing to elementary school teams this year – although we were spanking that fraud from Penn State for two quarters this afternoon – but do we really need Adolf Hitler as head coach? Apparently, senile former Notre [...]
An Open Letter To The Michigan Wolverines
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Dear Sir or (considering the way you have been playing) Madam, I realize that the addition of a new head coach can throw a college football program into disarray. And although I am a huge fan of Michigan athletics, I am not a Kool-Aid drinker. I knew this would be a difficult year, and I [...]
The Patriots Are Super Bowl Bound!
Sunday, January 20th, 2008FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (Jan. 20) – Perfection comes down to one game now. Despite a shaky Tom Brady, the New England Patriots were still too much for the banged-up San Diego Chargers in the AFC championship game Sunday, pulling out a 21-12 victory that sent them back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in [...]
An Important Programming Note
Saturday, November 17th, 2007I have to be honest. Nothing matters to me today until about 4pm. Why? Because my Michigan Wolverines are playing the dreaded Ohio State Buckeyes for the Big Ten Championship right now, and the Rose Bowl is at stake. Until then, my house could burn down around me, and I wouldn’t care. GO BLUE! UPDATE: [...]
Odds And Ends
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007Well, it’s been a lousy sports weekend for yours truly. Let’s rattle of the list, shall we? Although my physical therapy is going well, I am still not healthy enough to get back on the ice. However, I can’t help but think that my team needs me out there. Unluckily for me, they are doing [...]
Hail To The Victors!
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007The University of Michigan can lose every game from here on out and I won’t care. They beat Notre Dame last week, and beat Penn State today by a score of 14-9. (And, as an added bonus, my brother-in-law Fish lost our annual bet for the third year straight. Now he has to wear the [...]
