How about Eric Crouch vs... I
How about Eric Crouch vs... I dunno anybody? That guy's wikipedia page is so sad and funny at the same time.
In 2007, Crouch was expected to battle Michael Bishop, Damon Allen, Mike McMahon and Tom Arth for the Argos' starting quarterback position, but eventually faltered because of injury. He began season on the nine-week disabled list.[6][7] After coming off the nine-week disabled list, Crouch was released by the Argos on September 6, 2007
The page used to be a lot more humorous. Apparently he went all Timmy and Tommy Timmons though and started a playground equipment business.
Crouch is a non-issue. That
Crouch is a non-issue. That rat bastard Frost was the one after the Orange Bowl that the coaches should all vote for Tom Osborne to get a MNC in the year he retired, which the damn coaches did, dropping Michigan from #1 to #2 despite beating #8 Wazzou in the Rose Bowl, splitting the MNC.
Speaking of Nebraska, Gameday
Speaking of Nebraska, Gameday is doing a Sports Science piece on how fast Taylor Martinez is. Come on...no Denard?
Well we lost, so now the MSM

How about
Tom Brady, vs., anybody? That should shut him up for good.

I turned down Ranger tickets
I turned down Ranger tickets today cause I really want to see a rebound victory after last weeks loss to State (or is that staee?)
GO BLUE
I plan on stocking up on some food, watching the noon games and then watching the Denard train get back on track.
Hopefully I get to say ROFLSpartans after MSU blows the game against Illinois. Can you imagine if that happens and Wisconsin somehow beats OSU? The Big Ten Title race would become muy interesante.
I'm with you there -- huge
I'm with you there -- huge Illinois fan today.
I'm the opposite
I'm terrified of the Illinois game after what Illinois has done the past 2 weeks. What once was thought as a game Michigan should win now looks like a tough battle. I want MSU to paste them just to make me feel better about Michigan playing them. It's sad, but anything to make me feel like we can win at least 7 games this year.
Regardless of what happens,
Regardless of what happens, we can beat Illinois -- hell, we can beat anyone if we play well (obviously). And it wasn't like MSU killed us so we need them to win again to make our loss look better. I don't buy that. If MSU and OSU lose today and we win, we're back in the hunt.
We don't need OSU to lose
We still get to play them. We definitely need MSU to lose, at some point. Preferably today, so they can lose another, because that'd be the only way to get to the Rose Bowl.
But we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves...

Ahead of ourselves? No.
Ahead of ourselves? No. Looking big picture? Yes.
All possibly moot in 7 hours? Yes.
Let's see if we can even beat Iowa before we worry about Big Ten titles.

Watching the game from Big Rapids, MI on hidef...Going to grill brats & dogs, tater salad, and Blue Moon. Oh, but before I can relax, have the honey dos, got to leaf blow a buck ton of leaves from the yard and back into the woods, grrrr.

Stuck in Whooo Pigggy Sooieee
Land at the start of hunting season!! Luckily tho got some good old slow cooker beef and a assortment of beer. Thank god for gameplan or the only thing I'd hear is the sound of shotgun blasts from Hog fans ending it a they get trounced by Auburn.... Come on Big Blue let's get back on track!! Drob for Prez!!
Traffic update
Main-Saline is only mildly busier than any other time. Maybe not to even rush hour level yet. A few Iowa cars out and about. For many obvious reasons, this is no where near as bad as last week's apocalyptic levels, where it was already a traffic jam by this time (and a disaster by game time). So if you were planning on showing extra early because of last week, you can probably go back to your regularly scheduled travel times. This week looks more normal.
As for me, since Gameday will probably have nothing nice to say about us, I think I'm going back to bed till the noon games kickoff and then get ready to head over to the Stadium. Should be a beautiful day for football, weather-wise.

I am going back
I am going back to the way things were two weeks ago. Last week was a disaster as I thought I would watch the game with a couple hunderd plus Michigan fans at the bar. This week is back to normal in front of the TV just me, my wife and these terrible screaming kids I have. If we win and I am pretty confident we will that will be the strategy for the rest of the season.
GO BLUE

Breaking news...
Lou Holtz is "the only one who recognizes" that ND is back. (At least I think that's what he said.)
We have to dog sit this
We have to dog sit this weekend for a friend, so we'll be staying home with the 1-year-old wild man Golden Retriever today. At least they put his Michigan bandana on before they left. I've got my mini-keg of Bell's Best Brown chilling in the fridge along with two 6-packs of Short's brews that I've never tried. Short's 'Bloody Beer' to start, followed by their new Black Cherry Porter... mouth is watering as I type.
As far as the game is concerned, I can't help but feel the Iowa players will be distracted by the smell of the corn harvest in the air. And while the thoughts of driving the John Deere combine dances in their head, Denard will be unleashing the "dreaded" holy hellfire-dilithium Batman!!! offensive attack we know and love. Go Blue!
I'm failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
Halfway around the world...
I am working until 3:30am (yeah... 12 time zones away) before I watch our team go kick some Hawkeye butt. Stand behind the team.
Go Blue!
Michigan slammed for substance abuse - excessive use of dilithium
Grillin
Getting stuff for the tailgate packed. It's burgers, sweet potato fries, grilled portabello, baked beans with all the fixins.
And beer, lots and lots and lots of beer (to numb the senses -- I do not have a good feeling about this game).
Hope to be surprised.
Life should not be a journey to the grave to arrive safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What A Ride!" HST

Well
Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time before the game starts.

Only one to pick Michigan because he thinks Iowa doesn't have a defensive scheme to stop Denard. A pick to win from him is awesome since he is normally pretty unbiased.

Agree.
I am really surprised with how weak the turnout is. There are a lot of people there, but it just looks awful. I wonder why they decided to film inside the stadium?

Maybe it'll be a bad flight

Disagree with Desmond on his point that the NFL commissioners office has enough on it's plate with current NFL player sanctions. The NCAA is the minor league of the NFL. It may not be under the same conditions of the NHL, MLB, NBA minor leagues, but it almost certainly is THE feeder. The NFL is way invested in the college game.

Despite questionable fame and
Despite questionable fame and absolutely no connection to Wisconsin, that "celebrity" picker was the best one I've seen. Everyone tries to be serious and make smart picks (that I am 99% sure the Gameday research people suggest), this guy was hilarious. He was talking trash and making complete homer picks.
"Let's be honest, if OSU [Oklahoma State in his case, but applies to us] was playing a women's college I'd still pick against them."

Unfortunately I won't be able to watch the game this week as I will be busy getting my drank on for a night out. I hate late kickoffs and the fact that none of my friends care about football...

My hopes today
I hope today that OSU loses, and then wins all their games. That way I can't worry about MSU being Big Ten champs and them losing as much.

so what you're saying is that you want OSU to beat Michigan, and then MSU will become undisputed BT champs.
No.
I'm leaving the house around 10am, but I'm heading in the "wrong" direction. I was given Rangers tickets from the TCU baseball blogger. I can't pass up tickets to a playoff game in a ballpark I've never seen. This will be MLB park #19 in my lifetime quest to visit them all.
I'll be gametracking from the phone, but I've been given explicit instructions not to share the Texas/Nebraska score with the TCU guy (originally from Nebraska). But we will be having a debate on Brian Griese vs Scott Frost. Spoiler alert: Brian Griese was better.
