Two Cheers For Michigan

Congratulation to the Wolverines for defeating the Cincinnati Bearcats, 36-14.  (Who'd win in nature, a wolverine or a bearcat.  Just what is a bearcat anyway?  Any relation to Manbearpig?)

The score looks like a decisive victory, but it was far from that.  In fact, like last week, it was well into the game before Michigan put it away.

This seems to be a hallmark of the team, and it's no way to go, especially when playing inferior teams.  If there's 8 minutes left in the game and it could still go either way, sooner or later you'll make a mistake somewhere and there goes your perfect record.

The team looked okay, though was still a bit sloppy and ragged.  I hope much of that is due to the new players who are still learning.

Because Michigan's got some easy games ahead, but can take any for granted.  And eventually they'll be playing some tough teams, and what we saw out there yesterday wasn't good enough.
