Right on brother. If this has been covered, I missed it. If it's too personal, I apologize in advance. What are you majoring in? Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll excel. I only ask because I picture seeing you on UM/college football documentaries in the future like Bacon or Jack Park at OSU.

Graphic design. Already have done some work for the University. 

I did a couple designs for the new LSA Student Government president. Her Mom was my English teacher in my senior year of high school and knew I won some state awards for my designs on the HS newspaper staff and that I'm a Michigan fan, so that's how I had that connection.

It seemed like an eternity while that punt bounced for Pitt to choose the right moment, but apparently they came prepard for oddly shaped objects taking strange bounces. BC has to start this drive just short of being pinned against the end zone. Well, they more or less are pinned really.

BC's OL has 5 5th year Seniors with 89 collective starts.  Wouldn't THAT be nice?  Maybe in a few years Michigan will be able to have 3 5th year guys.

...and lookin' at the radar. Anyone up in Ann Arbor (or the surrounding area) taking on some water in their basement right about now? Looks pretty bad up there.

I think at halftime I'll turn on Season 8 of Trailer Park Boys and enjoy the new Madtree seasonal brew.

I can't believe that the officials placed the ball at the one on BC's first drive.  Not only do I think it was a TD but the video evidence certainly was conclusive.  Also, Ray Vinopal got caught inside to make that run possible.  Blast from the past.

Oh, Ray Vinopal.

I remember in 2010 against BGSU, he picked off a pass and returned it 25 yards only to get decked, flying 20 feet and fumbling the ball right back to Bowling Green.

Cam Gordon did the same thing the week before against UMass.

Ever since I've started following recruiting, I continually see kids playing for assorted schools and say "hey, he almost went to Michigan" or "Michigan was recruiting that guy." Tonight it's Johnathan Hilliman.

My weekly college football tri-fecta:

 

1. Michigan win.

2. Notre Dame loss.

[two stones can be killed with one bird on that front tomorrow]

3. Ohio State loss.

 

The quad-fecta adds an MSU loss to ice the fucking cake.

I just hope WE win tomorrow, first and foremost...and then whatever else happens, happens.

Washington State QB sacked for 15 yards.

WSU showing early the pros and cons of the air raid offense. Quick yards, but multiple second/third down and long situations.
