What a difference a day makes. I remember finding out when Michigan's final spot was filled by Appalachian State. Another cupcake, but a win is a win, or apparently not.
While I am tempted to point out the Comcast curse (last time a game wasn't televised on Comcast was Ball State) I'm going to take a different route-acceptance.
You can't change history, good or bad, while this game was bad, Michigan fans can't forget the good either. While my open allegiance as a wolverine fan will undoubtedly "haunt" me over the next week and to a lesser extent the next several years, thats ok, I'm ready. I don't think anything was taken away from all the good in Michigan's history, just another chapter added with an unfortunate result.
It happened; Michigan lost to Appalachain State. It happened; Michigan lost on a last second hail mary from Kordell Stewart. It happened; Michigan hasn't beat Ohio State since the "100th game". It's ok. Life will go on and the Michigan-Oregon contest will happen.
Boy its easy to want to throw in the towel as a fan but I am not taking that route. I'm taking the, "can still win the big ten", route. It's only one game and as disappointing as it is, it'll be ok.
So, just as I wrote last week, I'm still excited about the season and looking forward to the next game, not next year, not yet.
More thoughts to come,
Go Blue!

It's really a good thing for the game. It's a game played one down at a time and it boils down to 11 guys against 11 other guys. Nothing more.
Certainly calls into question the bowl selection process, national rankings, who gets on TV, etc.
Before you were born, there used to be a game late in the summer between the college all-stars and the NFL champions. One year, Vince Lombardi and the Packers got beat. I don't know what ever happened to that tradition, but it may be the NFL brass got together and decided that was never going to happen again.
Cheers.

What a difference a day makes. I remember finding out when Eastern's final spot was filled by Pittsburg. Another formitable opponent, but a win is a win, or apparently not.
You can't change history, good or bad, while this game was bad, Eastern fans can't forget the good either. While my open allegiance as a eagle fan will undoubtedly "haunt" me over the next week and to a lesser extent the next several years, thats ok, I'm ready. I don't think anything was takin away from all the good in Eastern's history, just another chapter added with an unfortunate result.
Boy its easy to want to throw in the towell as a fan but I am not taking that route. I'm taking the, "can still win the MAC", route. It's only one game and as dissapointing as it is, it'll be ok.

OK, I'll stop now =) If I had a blog I'm sure I'd get it too. MSU is a 12th of the way to my prediction =)
Anymore thoughts on Michigan football?
