Well…still feeling a little worn out today but I did want to talk about some sports…didn’t watch all of the Michigan game last night but I did see the important part…they are now 13-0 for the season and I do have to remind myself of their pattern that I’ve seen in all of their games this year…they allow the other team to stay close through the first half and then pull away in the second…so that win made them Big Ten champs and they will be in the college football playoffs along with Georgia but the other two spots are still to be determined this morning so I’ll update that after it happens….not sure how I feel about the matchups or if Michigan can win it all…they have looked good at times and iffy at times and with the loss of Corum, the other runners will have to stop up….hmmm…the World Cup…now that the US is out, I should lose interest but France is playing right now against Poland and then England plays this afternoon and I wonder what team will show up in that one? I mean they only drew with the US but beat another team 6-2 so I think they will win it as I think France will win this morning….but I really don’t have any other opinions right now…yeah, and that surprises me, too….more later…

Still looking for a topic…
Well…have been reading the news since I got back from the second ride trying to find a topic but it’s all trump, all the time and I don’t want to write about that today…so I need to write about something else…not sure what the will be yet….how about sports? Manchester United won their third game in a row after losing the first two and that puts them in the top five from last place…that means I can watch them again…and I should anyway since they have changed so many players that I don’t know the team yet…and their wins have been only by one goal so they are not dominating by any means…but they did beat Liverpool so I guess that’s something….watching Michigan right now and even though they are ahead, they don’t look very good….but I guess it’s just background right now and I can’t be disappointed yet, can I? Could be…but I don’t want to be….okay, that’s it for now…I’ll try to come back later for another one if I can find a topic…more later….
Michigan won!
Well…yeah, you probably already know this but Michigan won the Big Ten title game last night and for the first time since the playoffs were instituted, they are the champs…when I went to bed last night it was still a close game but they ended up winning by 42-3 so I guess that last quarter must have been a doozy….and now they go into the National Championship playoffs where I don’t think they have much of a chance but it will still be cool to see them play…I wonder what the schedule is going to be? Have to look that up today so I can plan for it….
I was wrong about Michigan today…
Well…in the last one, I kinda went off about Michigan and their offense that was stinking up the place and the defense that was letting Wisconsin back in the game…nevermind…in the second half they scored 25 unanswered point and whipped ‘sconsin 38-17 getting them to 5-0…but Wisconsin was 1-2 coming in so they weren’t the team they’ve been over the past few years…so, a bright spot in today’s sports…finally…but Michigan has a tough schedule for the next month so we’ll see how they do with that….yay!
A little sports…
Well….have been taking it quite easy today after a hard bike ride this morning…even got out in shorts for the last time this year…but, that’s not what I want to talk about…how about a little sports? Have been watching Man U’s match with Newcastle and, finally, Man U looks pretty good with getting toward the end of the match up 4-1…so that is a good thing….have had the Michigan game on the flashback channel and they have been holding their own against Wisconsin…they are even up 10-7 in the 3rd…so, I have some hope for a win still…but Michigan looks bad…again…. so I’m not sure how much more I’ll watch of this one….and there is still State and a race to watch later so I’ll have something to do the rest of the day…it would be cool to see Michigan knock off the #5 team and put a defeat on them….Wisconsin is looking pretty average today…
Some good news in sports…
Well….not sure why I haven’t written about this yet but there has been some good news for the teams I follow over the past couple of days…starting with Michigan just pummeling Florida in their bowl game and it is even more delicious that they beat a Florida team…for some reason, I just don’t like the teams from Florida and 41-7 was a pretty good beatdown. A good way to head into next season….not sure they will do better than a 10-3 season like this year but I can always hope. In a huge surprise, Manchester United won a game for the first time in 8 games and they even played okay…not sure if they should keep van Gaal or not but they need to keep playing in a more up-tempo fashion like they still like the game…it hasn’t looked like any of them really wanted to be out there and that has to change. In the past few minutes, even the Red Wings won a game…not in a shootout or overtime, but in regulation….and that breaks a three game losing streak that they had to get out of since they were sliding down the table toward not making the playoffs….so, overall…not a bad couple of days for sports for me…needed one of those…
Michigan circling the drain…
Well…just sitting here waiting for the Lions game to start and thought I’d talk about the debacle that is Michigan football this season…first, I think Brady Hoke is not the guy for Michigan…he has taken a once great program and turned into the mediocre mess that it is with no defense or offense to speak of and no plan to make it better…but, the last straw for me was from yesterday’s game when his quarterback was clearly suffering from concussion and he sent him back in to continue playing…even after one of his other players had to hold him up so he wouldn’t collapse on the field….Hoke is supposed to protect his players, not expose them to permanent damage just to try to win a game….Hoke should be fired…and today…
I promised some sports…
Well…it has been a few days but I promised I’d talk a little about sports…especially the teams that I follow that are just stinking up the place this year….have to start with Manchester United…what a debacle over the weekend…they were up on Leicester 3-1 in the second half and went on to lose the match 5-3…and this is with almost everyone healthy. I guess David Moyes was not that bad of a manager…even the crappy year last year was not as bad as they are playing now…if they keep this up, they could be relegated to the championship next year and that hasn’t happened in 50 years….okay, I do need to deal with Michigan football again…and I shouldn’t have to…ever since Hoke took over the team 4 years ago they have been mediocre at best and downright stinky at their worst…for the first time that I can remember, if there is a race on opposite them, I will watch the race…have even put the Michigan gear away for the year…they just don’t deserve me wearing it….okay, those are the the ones that are really disappointing me right now but I do need to do another one on the promise of a new Red Wings season and the small bit of life that the Lions have shown…and I’ll wedge the Tigers in there, too….more later
