And downing Bob Gibson in game 7, in the matchup of 2-0 starters.  Best World Series of my baseball fandom (1959-1993), no question.

Assuming the Hawkeyes are wearing yellow pants and black jerseys, I don’t see why Michigan couldn’t wear their blue pants and maize jerseys.  No one cares how the game looks on monochrome tv, it’s 2023.

Sadly, I agree with your take.  Much of the uniqueness of college football, its rivalries and traditions, is slipping away.  NBC’s Saturday night college football game is nearly identical to its Sunday night NFL broadcast.

I found it interesting that ~90% of the tv talking heads and online pundits chose OhioSt to win the 2023 game, just as they had in the previous two seasons.  The level of delusion surrounding Ohio State football is astounding.

I certainly don’t mind him staying at OSU, or leaving.  His choice.  Next year, in Columbus, he’ll be under even more pressure.  We saw after his game at ND game how he handles pressure.

I’ve been as nervous as the proverbial “long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs”**, so I greatly appreciate this logical, reasonable narrative.  Let’s Go Blue!!

Personally, I felt like Schrödinger's cat this morning.  In the dark, wondering what was going on, what the future held.

It's great to bask in the light of MGoBlog once again.

ODDly, Northwestern has been winning their even number games.  This is their 10th game, and they’re winning.  Last week, they lost at Iowa in their 9th.  Next week they have Purdue.

Not to quibble, but, I recall Michigan’s introduction to the read option at Northwestern on 11/4/2000, 54-51.  Granted, it was not a shellacking like the one Oregon administered in Michigan Stadium almost seven years later, but it was a rude introduction just the same.

Husker fans were quite cordial when we attended the game there in 2015.  Had rooms in town, so didn’t tailgate.  Easy walk to the stadium.

Texans’ leading receiver yesterday was Nico Collins, 6 receptions for 80 yds.

Well, I can think of one good reason to add them. The final play of The Game (the one played annually between Cal and Stanford), from 1982.  Interestingly, the wacky Stanford Band plays a significant role.  For those who haven't seen it, here's the youtube link:

Cal and Stanford are great schools, with a lengthy football tradition, and many great alumni and fans out here on the West Coast.

I always perceived the Stanford band of the 80s to be be more like a club team than a Varsity sport.  No other college bands of that era were as loosely run and overseen as Stanford’s.
