Who's got good news about the team?

We are 3-0 and our QB is in contention for the Heisman.  With Bowling Green coming into town, followed by a relatively unscary Big Ten opener, we should be 5-0 heading into the heart of the schedule.

And our Heisman candidate only turns 20 on Wednesday, which I already screwed up in a previous post....

my issue

I am very sorry for your former bosses loss.  The passing of a child is tragic. 

As for happy news, a Five Guys Burger and Fries opened just down the street from me.

As for happier news, Michigan is 3-0 to start the season.

As for the happiest news in my world, my father appears to be healing and moving out of ICU today after an emergency amputation of his leg last week.  Now on to learning to walk again.

BALL for the interception and the punter doesn't fumble the snap, the 4th qtr would have been much different and a no one would be grumbling, at least not as much.

Finding out now who is ready to play and who is not is invaluable:

1) Gallon is not ready to be our punt return man right now

2) We can plan on going for it on 4th down from 20-35 yards out because we do not have anyone who can kick field goals. 

3) Defense can see there mistakes and learn from them.

4) Iowa game seams a lot more winnable.

We won on a fake field goal in overtime. Oh... wait... sorry, recent thread focus had me confused.

it is coming

Shaw knows what he can do now - he knows what breaking free feels like

Ditto Stonum

Denard has added a "lofted deep ball" upgrade to his video game play of 2010

The D is on pace to force 24 takeaways.......after basically having a program low in that department a year ago. Given how young the D is, I am really liking this development for the rest of this year, but into 2011 as well.

As for something positive, Michigan stadium looks incredible, doesn't it?  I can't remember the stadium, the field, the band, the uniforms, the coaching staff gear, etc. ever looking this good and fresh.

Who cares if we are good, we look smooth as hell, and that is really at that matters in the long run. 

Buffalo Wild Wings Mango Habenaro sauce is great on home made wings.

On Saturday I ran into Hemingway jr at the game and he said he was having fun at practices and I told him his dad was a hell of a player and Go Blue and thanks for the commitment. He is tall (obvsly), but really much taller than I thought. So, like, that is good?

Also ran into Tate and Jerald Robinson walking around aimlessly after the game on Main St. They walked around the house and then back down the driveway and I told him to get off my lawn. He never stopped talking on his cell phone. Jerald did wave and nod his head when I asked him if he was Jerald Robinson. I was wasted.

Rich went over to the UMass locker room after the game and talked to that team after they played their hearts out against the Wolverines in Michigan Stadium. That's keeping things in perspective. I hope he thanked them for sending his team a message that would not have otherwise been received...

I was going to do a Professor Farnsworth bit here, but apparently image sourcing doesn't like my images. Anyway, sorry for the rough news. Be thankful that you're healthy and by happy that the team you love isn't in the dumps and has a winning record.

Also, think about how miserable Domer fans must feel. Can I get a "LOL"?

Sorry to hear about your friend's grandson.  Death puts everything into perspective.  I wish Dee would come here, but if he doesnt, it wont be the end of the world.  Michigan football has been around for a long time and will continue to be.

Your friends loss will be in all our thoughts.

Agree.  IU is more than a little scary.  They have a competent QB and run an offense that we aren't accustomed to seeing. 

son, and we wish him well in recovering from his procedure. I think this qualifies more as a silver lining than as good news but coming out of the UMASS close call I see it as highly positive that we have a likely win to work out more defensive kinks with next week, and as gentle as B10 opener as one could hope for (no gimme) before taking on MSU. I don't take MSU as a must-win at all, but I am very amped for that game this year; realistically, we could not hope for a better path to it, given what has come to now.

We're 3 and 0.

that is all.

I saw Troy Woolfolk while out & about on Sunday morning. Looked to be recovering quite well - he's walking, albeit with a crutch, but appears to be able to put some decent weight on that ankle. He'll be beast mode next year.

My dad had a knee replaced a few months back and it's worked out great for him. They've made huge strides in that procedure in the last decade or so. My dad's leg is good as new--he's like Roboleg now.

As for the boy, that's tragic. I have a two year old son--stories like that just rip my heart out.
