And just last weeke, NASA discovered the first "Goldilocks" planet. -- one not too hot or too cold to sustain water-dependent life. Coincidence? perhaps. But I, for one, am not ruling out that an intergalactic dilithium raid is in the offing.

Luckily, our line is strong. If neither UConn, ND, Bowling Green, nor Indiana can break through for a sack, I wouldn't be overconfident about my chances if I were Goldilocks.

Imagine this team when we have alien ninjas on D as well. (I count Martin as an alien pirate.)

Yeah, that's what I thought. I need to change my pants too.

Unlike most football players, he runs track. That means running repeats in practice (100s, 200s, 400s, etc...). This translates to endurance and extra speed on the field.

This is how you set yourself apart . . . recruiting guys like Denard who NO ONE ELSE sees the potential in. An alien, for sure. No one saw this coming. No one. Not even almost all Michigan fans.

That's a trap almost every top tier team falls into.  When the top players rated players at each position are practically begging for offers, staffs get lazy and don't search for the best fit or best workers.  The original Pete Carrol teams had their share of lower rated guys that were willing to outwork everyone and compete everyday.  Towards the end, they lost some of that desire and fit.  Same thing with FSU in the early aughts.

I would really like to see Michigan vs. Oregon. Just an offensive explosion with defense as an afterthought. It would be a fun game to watch for everyone but fans of Michigan and Oregon.
