Sunday Morning Coffee

After gulping down a few cups of coffee today, I started to think about the Purdue game. I use the word game loosely. Many comments on Twitter during the game, "Is this an episode of Peanuts", "This is like the Keystone Cops". With the plethora of turnovers and seemingly chaotic play calling it was quite an experience.

It was a win, an ugly win that gave me bitter beer face, but a win nonetheless. I personally thought that Michigan would again slide all the way through the rest of the Big Ten season without another win. I am glad they have avoided that.

This week I am taking a trip across the country to the Big House. I love to visit my family and go to the game. I love the amazing game day atmosphere, the sounds, the smells, tailgating. Along with my good feelings, I have a very sick feeling in my stomach, kind of like when you know punishment is coming, of course the 83 points the Badgers put up on the Hoosiers did nothing to help that feeling in my stomach, at all.

As always I will be there, all four quarters supporting my Wolverines and I always root for the win. Looking for a little of that magic that happened against Penn State, Henne to Manningham with 1 second on the clock.

Michigan here I come.

Go Blue!

Wisconsin makes...

of the Michigan Defense.

The elusive 6th win can it be gotten? One more chance fellas.

In Case You Forgot

Historical Comeback

I was as giddy as a school girl so I decided to do some of my own hack video of the end of the game.

I don't know if it was Michael Phelps or Mike Hart being on the sidelines but Michigan was charmed on Saturday.

Sunday Morning Coffee

Anyone in their right mind at halftime on Saturday would have said just what I said and what many of my other friends said, "the season is over", "we are an embarrassment", "has the spread come to Ann Arbor to die?"

After ESPN grotesquley flashed on the screen about 400 times that, 44% of Michigan's offensive plays go for 0 or negative yards, and at halftime Michigan had 21 yards of offense and multiple turnovers (not to mention the ND game), I don't think there were many that were saying, "Oh hell yeah we are gonna comeback big time in the second half."

As Mitch Albom said, "The game had been a disaster, a humiliation, the worst Big Ten opener for Michigan in more than two decades. The Wolverines trailed, 19-0, had five turnovers, one first down, negative yards passing — and it could have been worse. Fans were only cheering sarcastically.

When they weren’t booing."

The all of the sudden "Down came the ball, a gift from the heavens" I had barely sat down in my seat after the Michigan touchdown when Thompson got the heavenly rebound and ran it in for another touchdown.

Rich Rod obviously changed his game plan in the locker room at the half. Started to throw to set up the run and that clearly backed off the defense of Wisconsin and allowed Threet to pull off an amazing fake handoff, keeper and ended up running for 56 yards.

Will this game be the switch that turns this team into A TEAM? The spark of confidence that melds a team into a unit? My hopes (dangerously) are high again. I hope the team (the team from the second half ) plays this well this coming weekend, Illinois is allot to handle as seen in the Penn State battle last night at Beaver stadium.

Go Blue!!
