Random Fan Observations of the Season

While wawtching early games this past weekend on Saturday, I had a number of random observations about the 2011 season, and I thought I'd see what your observations have been as well.

I decided that after M and Toledo (Alma Mater), Minnesota would be my random program to cheer for.It just seems so unfair, and perhaps my support will help. Also, I'd have loved to make some sort of a post about KILLing HOPE. Sigh, perhaps next year. Until then, "Keep fighting, little buddies."

ESPN makes some funky choices for games to show. Minn-Purdue? Seriously? Were you trying to kill your announcing crew by subjecting them to that?

Indiana will find success under their new coach, but he'll still get canned long before Ron Zook runs out of smoke and mirrors to hide behind. Illinois fans are too confused about what is up with their coach to know what to do.

I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.

"ESPN makes some funky choices for games to show. Minn-Purdue? Seriously? Were you trying to kill your announcing crew by subjecting them to that?" - Blazefire

That game, from what I saw of it, seriously would have been better covered by the crew from Mystery Science Theater 3000. I can see it now, about halfway into  the second quarter:

"So, when do  warmups  end?"

"Funny isn't it, how naughty dentists always make that one fatal mistake."

I would also like to the add to the original OP that I only eat Oscar Meyer Bologna if and when I eat it at all. They seem to have the good cuts of Bolgana market cornered and I am not willing to risk eating the cheap stuff. On a more random note, birds come off as arrogant to me. They shit on our cars in an act of mockery. If I had the money and time, I would have any bird that shit on my car hunted down and killed.

seem stupid because they get hit by cars. If I were a bird I would cross every road at least 10 feet up. Hey, if I can fly - I'm not getting hit by a car.

You can't have everything - where would you put it?

Purdue v. Minny did not have you on the edge of your seat.  Certain BCS ramifications in that one.

What's up with grass?  I mean, even during a drought I hardly ever water it but it never dies. On the other hand I water my plants on a regular basis but they always die.  Maybe God in is infinite wisdon should have made plants out of grass material.

have not posted anything for awhile and just wanted to pick up a valuable mgopoint.......maybe I should say something witty so that I feel like I earned it............nope, can't think of anything

And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know it’s going to be Michigan again. Michigan!
