Now it's over

So the season seems to be officially over because poor Deuce is out. Poor Deuce seems to get crapped on every year. Why is that? He's a hard worker that's not looking for a lot of media attention, though he should get some. He screwed up his knee because Drew hung him out to dry. Oy. I think it's safe to say that their season is not going to be pretty. I think at this point, with the way they're playing, they'll be lucky to have 5 wins. 2 of those being over the Falcons. We'll see what happens.

News from an incubus of plague

Yep, that's right! I've caught some upper respiratory bug and I'm just so enjoying it. Besides the fact that I sound like a twelve-year-old boy going through puberty, the hacking is making everyone at work happy. Nothing says love like drowning out your phone conversations with phlegm-based coughing. Nice. Glad we have that nifty anti-bacterial stuff. Hope my coworkers are bathing in the stuff.

Well, the Wolverines proved that they aren't the worst team in college football. They're at least the second-worst team in college football. What's worse, losing to Appalachian State, or losing to the team that lost to Appalachian State? I think that's what Charlie Weiss is pondering. Well, that and where is he moving to next.

Hang in there Lloyd! @ life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com

Train Wreck In The Big House

So it's only the beginning of the second quarter, and the Irish have fumbled the ball twice, snapped the ball about a mile over Claussen's head twice and Michigan has scored 10 points. So far, I'm loving it. It's early I know, but I'm hoping for the best. After losing to Appalacian State, it can only get better right?

More updates to come!

Lest we forget

The kids are back in school. The trees are turning color (up north). It is now September 11th again. It will never be regarded as just another day. The terrorists made sure of this. Today you will see many flags at half-mast, people talking about what they were doing and where they were when the plane hit the second tower, and just in general celebrating how much we cherish our loved ones.

While this terrorist act cost so many people their lives, it also made everyone appreciate what they have. Mothers will hug their children a little tighter today, friends will be more willing to share today, because we will never forget what happened six years ago. Hard to imagine it was six years ago. I can still see the flames pouring out of the WTC and the acts of heroism that followed.

So it begins

If you haven't been living under a rock for the last 5 days, you know about Michigan's shame. While I'm not usually of a fatalist mindset, I totally saw this coming. How can this be, you ask? Well, every year the big football juggernauts (not the PAC-10 as Les Miles described them) schedule these games, tune-up games if you will, against these lower cupcake schools. They expect to blow them out and thus start the year on a high note. There was bound to be an upset at some point when you tempt the football gods one time too many.

Michigan was the unlucky school to have this happen. They just pushed it one game too far by not only scheduling a game against a cupcake football team, but by going down an entire division. Yes, Appalachian State was a I-AA division school (or sub-division, whatever they're calling it) and even though they have won that division championship a number of times, Michigan in their infinite, self-centered wisdom thought it would be no problem blowing these poor kids out of the water at The Big House. Nothing like handing a humiliation to wolverines in their own backyard.

So my college season hopes have been dashed for the maize and blue. I now have to rally behind the LSU Tigers in the hopes that they can pull it out and have a great season. Go Les!

As long U of M beats Notre Dame, it'll be okay @ life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com.
