Football

I didn’t see much of the game today. I looked in during the third quarter and saw the Bears had the Lions 24-10, and then I went back to bed. Now see the Lions scored 21 in the 4th quarter and beat the Bears, 31-30. That’s two wins in a row, and the season is now 3-6.

Yesterday, Michigan beat Nebraska, 34-3, but I didn’t see much of that game either.

Houston Astros Win It

The Houston Astros just won the World Series. I wonder if this is it for Justin Verlander’s career as a player. He’s reminding me of Kevin Costner’s character, Billy Chapel, in the movie “For the Love of the Game”. The other night when Verlander pitched to his former teammate, Nick Castellanos, it was like the scene from the movie, when Billy Chapel is pitching to his former teammate and he’s thinking, “When did we get so old?”

Also saw Michigan beat Rutgers 52-17. The Wolverines are now 9-0 for the season.

I Got These Blues

I made a mistake
Being a cheapskate.
I should’ve bought alcohol
Before it was too late.
I hoped to end the year
On a happier note.
Instead, I got these blues.

It was shortly after Halftime
That I picked up my guitar.
I played the thing in a way
That I haven’t played in years.
McNamara’s pass was intercepted
In the endzone,
And I got these blues.

Penalties and fumbles,
The ball turned over too many times.
The Bulldogs were a brickwall
And a charging pack.
Thanks to Moody and Henning,
We got in a fieldgoal and a touchdown.
But I still got these blues.

I jammed through the game
As I watched the nightmare unfold.
They finished up with 11-34.
The Orange Bowl didn’t go
The way I had hoped.
But I love my team,
So, I got these blues.

Big Ten Championship

The Michigan Wolverines are the Big Ten Champions!

They beat Iowa 42-3. Y’all said they would choke in the Championship Game?

Jim Harbaugh is a great coach. Don’t ever again suggest in my hearing that he should be fired.

I’m proud of my team. They are the champs.

Victory!

We won! We beat the Ohio State Buckeyes! 42-27. I can go to my grave happy.

To y’all who said Harbaugh can’t win a big game, up yours! He just won the biggest game there is.

Thank you, Jim Harbaugh. Thank you, Cade McNamara, Hassan Haskins and J. J. McCarthy. Thank you, Blake Corum, Andrel Anthony, Josh Ross and all the Michigan Wolverines who gave us this victory today.
