My thoughts from the Big House...


The Good -
1. A win is the most important statistic in Football.
2. How about some props for he Oline... We double the yardage Mich had and all the sacks and intentional groundings were a result of the receivers not getting open (Or BJ not finding them). Brian Johnson had at least 4 seconds on every pass play.
3. Louie Sakoda is so valuable to this team. He's my MVP. That being said I wish he would get the ball out quicker on punts.
4. Props to the defense!!!!! We had almost as many penalty yards as their offense had yards. Michigan never had a sustained drive. There were many 3 and outs.
5. Sean Smith is a shut down corner.
6. Paul Kruger might be the best d lineman in the country
7. No wasted timeouts and good clock management

The Bad
1. Too many turnovers
2. Too many penalties
3. BJ is too tentative on his runs/scrambles. several times the pocket opened up and if would just run forward he had 7 yards. He only did it once and he got 7 yards.
4. the second half was played not to lose instead of to win.

The Ugly
1. Rich Rod's coaching - My brother Matt doesn't agree (because he doesn't know football)

Ask yourself these questions

A. Does a good coach lose at HOME when they are ranked #2 in the nation to a 3-7 team
B. Does a good coach who has a good offensive line that can run the ball only run the football when they are down?
C. Does a good coach adapt to the players he has or make excuses that "he doesn't have his guys"?
D. Does a good coach run no huddle with a new offense (not a too mention a freshman Q when it makes his Defense spend a lot time on the field?

I'm glad I still have 10 years before my daughter is a teenager


Right now she is 3 1/5 and I was getting her dressed the other day and when I gave her some clothes to wear she said:

"These don't match and they need to be ironed"

She's freaking 3 years old!

Then this morning When my wife was getting ready for church and she said.

"I want to wear my pink dress with the white skipping shoes with flowers. I also want that pink bow in my hair"

Damn Cheaters in Baseball

According this report the Yankees and Red Sox are being investigated for Skimming off the tops of bonuses to Dominican Republic signees. This pisses me off for a couple of reasons:

A. These dominicans are as poor as it gets and now we have people stealing from them? For many of these Dominican athletes the only way to make it is to be signed by a major league team.

B. The Yankees Carl Pavano 17 million to NOT pitch but they can't afford to pay their scouting personell enough to not have them steal from poor third world teenagers?

What is this world coming too?
