Happy Halloween everyone! Look a new format! You all thought I was done wasting your time with football unAnalysis but you forgot about my BYE week!
So apparently I’m a blogger now… Barney said it was a good idea… Anyway, welcome to the website. If you’re reading this I’m sorry that you don’t have anything better to do. I’ve decided that I don’t have enough going on between fixing a house, selling a house, going to weddings… wait I think I’ve made this joke before… Well I decided to pile on by turning these stupid weekly e-mails into stupid weekly web posts. yay… Anyway here’s what happened this week:
H*ly shit there was some exciting stuff in the Big Ten this week! Two 1-point games in the Big Ten this week! PSU blowing a lead and MSU comeback-to-lose-in-OT were happening at the same time which made caring about them pretty annoying… Neither ended as I’d hoped*… Penn State played not to lose, and lost. I don’t think they blitzed anyone on OSU’s last two drives.. You give JT that much room and you’re gonna have a bad time. Both of those teams look like the real deal though.. Harbaugh is going 1-5 against rivals..
Purdue apparently still is waiting for OSU… Their 1 point loss to Nebraska knocked out 2 of you
Poor Indiana lost one of the few winnable games they had this year to Maryland.. They’re gonna go 3-6 in the Big Ten and I still don’t think they’re that bad… At least they still play Rutgers.
Speaking of Rutgers… Finally! It took an interception, two fumbled snaps, and another drive of nothing but Harbaugh finally put in Peters! And he’s amazing! Michigan’s problems are solved! He’ll probably win the Heisman in the next 4 games… In all seriosity** though… He’s the best option we’ve got. He’s telegraphing all of his throws but he’s a freshman so that’s expected. This will result in some interceptions against teams not named Rutgers. He’s also hitting the correct (read: open) guys which is something Michigan QBs haven’t done all year. He’s a big improvement. This season is going to end poorly but at least there’s hope in the Big House***. U-M beats Rutgers comfortably which is good because I promised Matt I’d invent a time machine, go back to college, and transfer to MSU**** if we lost to Rutgers.
Get your picks in! Results will be posted in the links hopefully.
*although now… if we win out and OSU loses and MSU loses and PSU loses and they find out Nick Bosa is really Joey Bosa/a Unicorn and therefore OSU is ineligible then we still probably don’t make Indy…
**ok… some… some seriosity. I think I’ll have a bagel with my coffee
***Hope that the o-line doesn’t get him killed.
****After the Braylon game.. no way I’m missing that even if it did almost kill me… maybe i’d bring a sweater though. NO WHAT AM I THINKING!!! A sweater would alter the gravitational jynx space time continuum and a squirrel would run out and trip Braylon and we’d lose… 105 degree fever it is.
