Happy Thanksgiving

Hello all or none,

Happy Thanksgiving. Hope everyone is able to enjoy a few days with (or without) your family. I did, mom made dinner and we watched the Lions take another beating. Then we had pie. All in all, exactly what we wanted for Thanksgiving.

Bye all.

Monday after The Game

So I wanted to come and talk a little about this past weekend. It was a major loss on Friday with the death of Coach Schembechler. I was listening to him on the radio at 8:45 AM (I was actually on time that morning), and thought about how great it was to listen to him talk football. It was WTKA in Ann Arbor, hosted by some guy Mike Wickett, Dave Schann, former hockey player at Michigan, and the guest in the studio was Mark Messner, legendary defensive end for the Wolverines. Coach called in and was talking about the game when he said something about Michigan needing to pass against Ohio State. Everyone fell off their chair in the studio. Go to MLIVE.COM to see footage of his press conference on Monday and for this interview. Just awe-inspiring. Here is the link from WDFN as well.

I noted over the weekend that the world has lost three very tough guys over the last month, with Red Auerbach, Jack Palance and Bo all passing recently. I really hope this is the end of the triangle, I don't think the world can lose much more of the toughness, will and integrity they brought.

As for the football game, a lot of people much smarter than me have written about it, but my biggest disappointment is that OSU won on a few big runs because of some missed tackles. Still, a heck of a game. It has already been scheduled as an Instant Classic for Wednesday night. I have it on the DVR, so I have to decide if I want to watch it again or move it to DVD or just delete it. I have just moved the ND game from this year to DVD.

I don't know if there should be a rematch or not, I would have no problem with either USC or Arkansas playing (if they both win out) playing OSU. A choice between Florida and Michigan would be tough, as long as Notre Dame is not the team. That would be a travesty. Not after the beating Michigan gave them earlier this year, especially since I don't think they have improved much in the mean time. I am not sure there is anyone else in the discussion.

Now I am watching the 1969 Michigan OSU game, it is so amazing to see the way the game has changed, and the way TV has changed. I love college football.

Well, I will talk to you later.

Monday Night

Trying to figure out if I should just go to bed, but I have things to do yet. Guess I should not have played that 3 hour game first.
This is Game week. Go here to see the countdown - 4 days 16 hours as I write this. The magnitude of this game is truly astounding. I don't want to think about it too much as I will not do anything, and I mean anything, else. I have already reviewed the TV schedule (as mentioned yesterday) and found all the prior games that Michigan won, and am recording them. That is one of the things I need to do tonight is to get some more things off my DVR to have room for the new things.

Anyway, nothing real exciting, however, I did have a thought. When is someone just going to develop a tapeworm that can be controlled? I wouldn't mind taking a tapeworm pill once a month that will eat all the fat going through my body, but allow my digestive system to absorb all the nutrients it needs. And then it dissolves and I create a new one. This sounds like the weight loss plan to beat all weight loss plans, why isn't anyone on this? Remember, nature has had all kinds of time to perfect these things, look to her for guidance.

Glad to be back - 11/12/06

Actually, I didn't go anywhere, just didn't post for a while. For a while I had to get my computer fixed, then was focusing on a few other projects. The main thing was getting myself set up to move all the Michigan games from my DVR to my computer to burn them to DVD. This process is critical so I can save them. I also spent about 30 minutes going through the schedule for next week to make sure I found every program that was about Michigan Ohio State football, including the games on ESPN Classic (except for the ones where Michigan lost). So I am going to need lots of room. The problem is my computer is kind of slow, so it is taking a while. I bought the machine in 2002 after all.

I don't know what else to talk about right now, but I will get back to you soon.
