99 Thoughts on the 2010 College Football Season

Spencer Hall (great mustache by the way) created this list last Wednesday. I didn't see it posted on the board, but I apologize in advance if it has been. Michigan is mentioned prominently in numbers 51-53 and in passing in others. I really like the EDSBS guys and this was a good read. Some of my favorites:
95. Les Miles will microwave popcorn in his office. The instructions will say two and a half minutes. Les Miles will rely on his gut to tell him when it's done.
94. Les Miles is going to be eating some burnt popcorn, and will blame Jordan Jefferson while he does it.
15. Missouri will, at the end of the season, show up at the Big Ten's winter meetings and just see if anyone notices. Then, things will get awwwwwkward.
Enjoy.

53. Denard Robinson will win the starting job at Michigan.
52. UConn will beat Michigan at home, starting a merry toboggan ride to hell for the Wolverines.
51. Michigan will recover and win eight games despite fielding a secondary made up of stuntmen constantly on fire and allowing receivers to run unimpeded behind them.

So his active theory is that we'll lose to UConn but still win 8 games. So if we somehow climb that mountaintop and defeat the invincible juggernaut of UConn...we'll win 9 games?

It's a joke.

24. 6' 7" Ryan Mallett, in an effort to improve Arkansas' sagging defense, plays middle linebacker on pass plays by waggling his arms in the middle of the field to knock down passes.

I thought WMU was supposed to be pretty down this year, interested to hear he doesn't think thats the case, though I wish I knew why.
August 15th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
Is that they have a few good transfers and their secondary and linebackers will be strong. I also heard that they have a fleet of speedy receivers and the new QB is quite capable(but replacing Tim Hiller wont be easy). They also have a tank of a DT at ~5' 7" and 340 lbs that has been very impressive this spring.
August 15th, 2010 at 3:56 PM ^
A 5'7" 340 lb DT? Either that is the most jacked dude in the history of life or he's got 100 pound of bad weight on him.
August 15th, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
Their receiver situation couldn't have been much worst last year breaking in 3 new starters which all return but losing Hiller and West is going to hurt quite a bit like you said. Plus the Dline lost their 2 best tacklers, and that secondary didn't look very strong early last season (not sure if it improved later on).
Their minuses seemed to outweigh their pluses this year but I don't know about any of the new transfers other than the ex-UM lineman.

I think we will blow out UConn on our way 9 win season. I like these. If we lose to Purdue on a last second 70 yard fg, I will be the one vomiting uncontrollably.
71. Purdue coach Danny Hope is really looking forward to letting kicker Carson Wiggs attempt a 70-yard field goal in a game.
70. Danny Hope and Lane Kiffin have something in common: lunatic field goal attempts.
69. This last sentence should have made Purdue fans vomit uncontrollably onto their computers. Hope your warranty covers that, because it doesn't.
August 15th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
thought 24. Rich Rodriguez will beat the hell out of Danny Hope.
August 15th, 2010 at 3:25 PM ^
I like:
41. Kirk Cousins will become the most accomplished, polished, and savvy quarterback in a generation to blow at least two late leads for Michigan State this year.
August 15th, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
Here's to us kicking their a$$e$ and never letting them have the lead so they can save those two blown leaders for other oppoenents :)
August 15th, 2010 at 3:37 PM ^
Either outcome is perfectly acceptable, I'm just wondering which is more excruciating. Maybe a good old fashioned ass-kicking will shut them up.
2002, good times.

I love the photo of Miles that accompanies those comments. Captures him perfectly.
And this is great:
13. Congratulations, Washington QB Jake Locker! You're 2010's "West Coast player named by an East Coast guy in a sports argument to show he's not totally ignorant of West Coast football." They won't see a single game you play in, but they will know your name and won't hesitate to drop it in conversation.
