Three Weeks And A Day

I don't write much about sports. One reason is that I'm a Detroit Tigers fan and they haven't been a contender since the late 80s. But one team I support is always in it, the Michigan Wolverines.

They're expected to win the Big Ten this year, but Ohio State and Iowa don't care what everyone expects. College teams have a lot of turnover (and turnovers), and it can be hard to tell how a team is working until they actually play. Michigan wins more than anyone else, but they've also been on the losing end of some spectacular games, as any fan can tell you.

So it's only about three weeks till kickoff. (The link has a countdown.) The game is against Northern Illinois, which some consider a "warm-up," but I don't believe in taking anything for granted. In any case, the week after, it's Notre Dame, our arch-enemy--after MSU and Ohio State. (Arch, archer, archest.)

Hasn't been much of a summer. Let's make the fall special.

Columbus Guy says: Will we be playing under the welcoming arms of Touchdown Jesus, or in the Snakepit Up North?

LAGuy: Snakepit. The schedule is in the link.
