Pete Fiutak (Scout.com) on ND Game
Sorry if this has been posted or linked already, but I haven't seen it. It is an interesting take on the Michigan - ND game from this past Saturday. I guess someone other than MGoBlog thinks Michigan is back. He also makes fun of Charlie!!!
"I know bad Michigan and Notre Dame teams. I’ve seen bad Michigan and Notre Dame teams. These are not bad Michigan and Notre Dame teams. I have a strange gut feeling that what happened in Ann Arbor on Saturday was more special than it’s currently being given credit for, and we’re all going to look back at that game three months from now and realize it was a season-defining classic."
Here is the link to the full article:

Har har.
"Sorry this column sucked, it wasn’t my fault … Me and my staff of veteran coaches couldn’t figure out how to stop a true freshman from marching down the field and beating us in the final moments in just his second game as a collegian."

This is also in the article:
"... Michigan ... should have expectations and honest dreams of a Big Ten title. Penn State and Ohio State come to Ann Arbor, Iowa looks beatable, and Illinois isn’t that great. Set the bar at 9-2 before the showdown with the Buckeyes, with losses against Penn State and at Wisconsin, but considering where the program was a few weeks ago, this is a dream come true for Wolverine fans."
I know its more Kool Aid, but he's right.

Now that is some pretty high praise.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:30 PM ^
Not to be too much of a downer, but: before the season, weren't we of the opinion that this guy shouldn't be permitted column space on toilet paper?
September 17th, 2009 at 7:51 PM ^
Fiutak is a terrible columnist and his opinion should not be given any thought, whether he maligns or praises us.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:01 PM ^
Pete Fiutak is a terrible columnist.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:57 PM ^
That's the greatest thing about this country, that people can have and express their own opinions. I have no specific opinion about Fiutak as a columnist, but I found a couple parts of the article interesting. If you do not want to read it, no problem.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:12 PM ^
wha...I thought what he wrote was funny. I think you missed the "subject" part
September 17th, 2009 at 9:33 PM ^
... he was being sarcastic, yeah, I missed it. I apologize.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:44 PM ^
... but I can think for myself. Oh, and by the way, you do not need to put a colon after the word "but".

I don't always agree with Brian, but in this case, I do so wholeheartedly. Fiutak is stupid.

I will make you a deal. You check with the board to see what you can and cannot read and I will read what I want.

I don't know that you need to get too huffy, homie. Certainly not so huffy you start steaming about punctuation on the internet. Can't we all just get along?
September 18th, 2009 at 5:49 AM ^
Really, huffy? I do not even know how to respond to huffy. Isn't that the name of a bike or something?
September 18th, 2009 at 10:23 AM ^
I can see how you got your nickname/handle now. You're clearly psychotic!
September 17th, 2009 at 8:53 PM ^
at the bottom, he says he has Tate Forcier at number 2 on his Heisman vote this week
September 17th, 2009 at 9:00 PM ^
Even I'm not that crazy.
[Edit: I just read it and he says if the season ended right now. If the season ended right now and you were basing the decision only on this season, he is not crazy. I might even have Forcier at number 1.]
