Ugly Game of the Week?????
Stubob used to write an Ugly Game of the Week diary, typically would be a handful of ugly games for the upcoming week plus a recap of the previous week's results. This always was a good laugh.
Stubob, COME BACK!!!!!!! I need sometging to read at work on Fridays before the preview is released.

Illinois at UM.

Uglyness meter incremented because the forecast says there is a 100% chance of rain/thunder tomorrow throughout the game. Could literally be an ugly game.

So much punctuation.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:06 PM ^
Its very important to be punctual.

Features come and features go. Remember MonuMental's weekly wallpapers? Those were great. Oh, and MGoProfile? So neat.

I'd take the dog to beat your spread in all three cases. What would you give me on a $5 trifecta?

If StuBob cannot do these anymore, I'd be willing to take a stab at it next week... I also liked his entries.

Iowa is going to make prison love to MSU.

Including last night. If CU doesn't soil itself and lose by 30, then you know the other team is in the process of embarrassing themselves

Illinois-UMich. Tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath.

Ugly games of the week:
The physically ugly: Kansas St at IU. Purple and silver do not blend well with red and gold. But any time you can get the "Power Kat" logo on national TV it's a win.
The lob-sided ugly: BC at FSU. BC was featured in TWIS and travelling to face a pissed-off FSU team. BC < 0-4 Army < Stony Brook. Could get ugly in Talahassee.
Why not just go out for a beer because this Footballin' thing is foreign to us ugly: UAB (1-4) at Houston (2-3), Kentucky (1-5) at JLS Arkansas (2-4), and Cal (2-4) at Wazzou (2-4). I'm leaning towards the SEC tilt particularly for the JLS sad train to downerstown. But those bunch of corpses in Pullman paint a pretty bleak picture as well.

There's a number of reasons I quit doing the UGotW.
1. I started to feel bad about picking on EMU every week.
2. I have a whole lot less time to preview/review the games, between a new job and a little future Wolverine
3. The amount of content really picked up, so I felt like there wasn't a big need for one more diary.
4. I wanted to do the Pick Six review, but never heard back from the guy who took all the votes.
5. I can't think of #5.
If there's really a subculture of people who read it (besides me, you and Seth), I will think about bringing it back.

I liked it. I would say it was definitely one of the diary posts I looked forward to reading each week cause it was funny, insightful and highlighted those New Mexico State vs UTEP type clashes that were sure to draw about 10,000 people and feature God-Awful football.
Put me down as wanting you to restart it if you have time.

I know I read them every week - they were good... If you do not have time to continue it, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'd be willing to take this on... Let me know!
October 12th, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
If you have the time you should go for it, but obviously don't feel bad on our accounts if you don't have the time/interest.

new seasons, but you can check out all of the Ugly Game of the Week pieces through this link if you'd like. They're in reverse order, and I don't know what to do other than scroll to the bottom if you want to read in sequence.
October 13th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
worth saving! I saw those "Ugly" diaries last season, but now I can look forward to digging the older ones.

Our tailgate corn hole game.

Iowa @ MSU
Neither team has a strong offense. Both teams have strong defenses with MSU's being better than Iowa's.
I predict a 13-3 win for sparty
