College Football Week 4

I was able to watch lots of football Saturday. It was great to see Michigan get another victory. The sting from the first two losses is lessened with each victory from here on out. The schedule looks favorable for the next few weeks so for the time being Michigan seems to be back on track. My friend put it best two weeks ago. We are both very emotionally involved with the football team and how they play. He said after each of the first two losses it felt like there was something physically wrong with himself and that people kept pointing out that disability. It was just a terrible feeling but like I said, at least for now that has passed.

There was a bunch of near upsets and some actual upsets. I was really hoping Ball State would complete an upset of Nebraska but Nebraska has a way of escaping close calls- I'm reminded of the gam against Missouri 8 or so years ago with the last minute play in the endzone and an intentional kick and a lucky reception. Louiville apparently isn't nearly as good as people thought. After falling to Kentucky last week they followed up with a terrible defensive showing against Syracuse who hadn't beating anyone. Brian Brohm has over 550 yards passing and lost- I didn't realie that was possible.

Wisconsin was the recipient of several favorbale calls and was able to hold off an Iowa team that looked like it had fixed its problems from the previous weeks loss at ISU.

One thing I must mention is the Georgia-Alabama game. A great game with a great overtime win for Georgia. One of the funniest thigns that happened though was after Alabama scored in overtime and Georgia was taking over. About 15 seconds before Georgias first overtime snap the announcer asked "What is wrong with Britney?" The other announcer, completely shocked literally had no idea what to say and after a few seconds said something along the lines of "I don't care, I'm more interested in football". I'm gonna go surinf online and see if anyone else is commenting about that.

Apparently I wasn't the only one to notice this and this clip is on youtube. I've included it below.


I think Amy and I are going to the raspberry farm today to get some berries and take some pictures with the Holga.

No mention of my prediction of 12-0 being 1/4 of the way there!!! MSU 4-0! Wouldn't you both feel much better if you would cheer for EMU... 2-2 is a darn fine record for them... might be a good game when EMU v UofM comes up!
