    Michigan Wolverines Season Preview Part 2

    Monday, July 14, 2008, 04:52 PM EST [General]

    Okay I left off after the Notre Dame game. Michigan is 3-0. Next is a possibilty of a loss against Wisconsin.

    Wisconsin

    Last year Wisconsin beat Michigan ending any chance of a Rose Bowl if they lost to Ohio State(which they did). This year Wisconsin looks alot like they did last year exept weaker. I'll say a Michigan win. But possibly an injury or a sloppy game. That leaves alot of worries for they're next opponent..........the Illini.

    Michigan                               Wisconsin

    35                                             24

    Illinois is next

    This game worries me.  Juice Williams like it or not, is probably a top 8 heisman choice. I'm sure Rich Rod knows how to deal with mobile guys but this isn't just a mobile guy. Thats why i'll say the Illini win this one.

    Michigan                            Illini

    21                                      31

    Next. Toledo

    Ah finally a break after all this hard work. Coming off a loss to the Illini the Wolverines will be eager and attackful. Too attackful. They'll trail early but in the 2nd half they'll put the Rockets down. Oh that was close...

    Mich                     Toledo

    24                           10

    So here we are currently 5-1(1-1) Probably on the 25. Cant be any higher than 16 or so.

     

    Side Notes

    I'm predicting Michigan WR Greg Jackson so far to be having a 2nd/3rd Team ALL-BIG TEN season.

     

    I think SR Terrance Taylor, SR Tim Jamison, and JR Brandon Graham will be having 2nd to 3rd Team All-Big 10 seasons. By now Taylor will have about 18 tackles and 3 sacks.

     

     

    Jamison will have about 20 tackles 4 sacks.

    Graham will have about 28 tackles and maybe a sack.

    Sophmore CB Donavan Warren will be having a 1st Team All-Big 10 season.

    Am I really a Yankees fan????

    Thursday, July 3, 2008, 08:56 AM EST [New York]

    I woke up about 10:00 AM Eastern and I said to my wife, "Pam, I've just had the worst dream of my life.". I dreamed I was playing for the New York Yanks. I wasn't a star but we were In the World Series. I've liked the Tigers becaused my parents kinda forced me. But I really like the Red Sox more. Am I not a Tigers/Red Sox fan, but a Yankees fan? I know blogs aren't really supposed to be questions but I'm kinda scared. During the dream I did no playing. It was all publicity stuff. I was taking pictures with the team and fans. Then I stepped up to bat during the world series and woke up. All together it was a pretty nice dream. But at the same time a terrible nightmare.

    Does this mean.....

    I'm a Yankees fan? I did dream about being a Yankee player.

    I'm not a real Red Sox fan? What type of Sox fan would dream about being a Yank

    Nothing, It was just a dream? I have alot of dreams.

    Please help.

    My Michigan Wolverines Season Predictions Part 1

    Monday, June 30, 2008, 08:41 AM EST [General]

    About 60 days away on August 30 the Utah Utes will play the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House.

     Records won't be in play yet. The teams will be 0-0.The Utes last year were 9-4(5-3)Michigan was 9-4(6-2). Michigan Stadium will likely be packed after last season ended on a good(not great) note after beating the Heisman winner Tim Tebow in Florida in the Capital One Bowl. Alot of things will change. No Mike Hart. No Chad Henne. No Mario Manningham. No Jake Long. No Lloyd Carr. And from what I here no Nike. A spread offense. But at least one thing will be the same. It's Opening day at Michigan Stadium. Last year's opening day was a shock, and an eye opener.

    I predict this years opening day will be the opposite. It will likely be a solid defeat. I'll say because of the holes in the Michigan defense the score will be

    Utah                           Michigan

    27                                38

    Next game, Sept, 6. Miami(ohio).

    This wont be as close. Miami only one 1 game outside of it's conference. Michigan's D will clamp down.

    Miami(ohio)                           Michigan(2-0)

    10                                              35

    Two victories to start the season. Next is the big challenge. Notre Dame ended the season with 2 wins and has a great recruiting class. Jimmy Clausen might just start to develope this year.

    I'll say Michigan wins but not quite as easy as it was last year.

    Notre Dame                            Michigan(3-0)

    24                                                 28

    So I've got Michigan Starting 3-0. Stay tuned for part 2,3, and 4.

    Is Doc Rivers a Good Coach?

    Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 09:21 AM EST [General]

    REASONS HE ISN'T

    His team has three Star players. Two of those players are probably in the top 10 players in the league.

    Without his defensive coach he'd look pretty bad.

    Chances are, you didn't even know who he was until this year.

    He was almost fired last year. He won 24 games.

    Management got Allen and KG.

     

    REASONS HE IS

    He has the biggest turnaround in NBA history

    He won the championship.

    2000 Coach of the year.

    66 wins this year.

     

    OVERALL

    He's a good coach but he is a little overrated by the media. I think if most NBA coaches were given Pierce, Allen, and Garnett they'd win the East. Congrats to Doc and the Celtics though.

    Top 5 Helmets in the NFL

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 07:18 PM EST [General]

    I think that the greatest symbolization of a football team is their helmet. It's been raised in glory, lowered in defeat, scratched by blocks, shined by sweat and shows the hard work a team has been through.

    Honorable Mention Bengals

    This helmet is like a Halloween costume to me. When I see it i say wow how great. How good. How unique. How strange. How weird. How ugly. But most people I know never tire of watching players were tiger skins on their head. If only they had a Tigers keen defensive skills(which they might have in 08).

    5. Raiders

    Every time i see the logo i think how do they put this on a helmet. And I still dont know how but it looks so great together. Some would think a shield with a Pirate and 2 swords, with the word Raiders on it would be too much. But it flows greatly.

    4. Colts

    Just the fact that Unitas and Manning had the same helmet design is legendary. Never changed probably never will. Simple but bold. That ol lucky horshoe has been there for decades it will for decades to come.

    3. Packers

    This is just like the colts. Simple and plain, but legendary. Has been there for years. That big G. Bart Starr to Brett Favre. And just like the colts, it has never changed. I rank it ahead of Indy because I personally think it looks better.

    2. Cowboys

    Image:Dallas Cowboys helmet.jpg

    Five times has a Vince Lombardi Trophy been hoisted by the Cowboys. Five Superbowls. This helmet may be plain but it's an icon. That star symbolizes 79 straight sell outs. The richest franchise in the NFL. Sucess is rewarded.

    1. Steelers.

    One side is a hardcore, old school football logo. The other side is black paint. The steelers uniforms and helmets are legendary in the NFL. The Black and Gold is everywhere. The second largest fan base and the most loyal fan base as well. The helmet has won 5 super bowls. And It is the symbol of hardcore football.
