Don't Panic
The Only Game That Matters —
"In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitch Hiker's Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects. First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words Don't Panic inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover"This is what you wanted, right? You there, I'm talking to you. Yes, you - ...

... So, with 2-6 a very very real possibility, Michigan goes on the road to face Purdue and Minnesota, finishes the home schedule with Northwestern, and travels to Columbus to end the season. You tell me. Of these 6 teams, which 4 are the woodchucks going to beat to be bowl eligible? I don’t think so. Not this year. Sure, everyone expected Michigan to struggle this season. But it seems fans are becoming unsettled about the lack of improvement over the first 8 games. Could there be a civil war brewing in the mitten state ? Because they laughed at us all through the Cooper era, here ...
This Week In Schadenfreude: It's Chemical Burn Time in Ann Arbor

... Michigan. I guess I should mention the chaos and strife going on on the homefront: MGoBlog currently has a Civil War painting foremost, describes the Wolverine-on-Wolverine violence currently engulfing the Michigan internets, and then perpetrates some of its own: ...

Things worth talking about
The Diag —
... . Two things here: First off, in my piece on here after the game on Saturday, I was not pushing for Rich Rod to be fired or spouting that I anticipate this regime to be disastrous for years to come. I said Saturday's loss was unacceptable. I stand by that. Apologies to Brian at MGoBlog . Being young and inexperienced, playing hard, but getting beat anyway is one thing. Being young and inexperienced, but playing lackadaisical and getting outworked is another. Saturday appeared to be the latter to me. You may not agree. Secondly, what is Bill Martin going to say to a question ...
Don't Bet On It!: National Game of Disinterest
Dawg Sports —
Having provided you with this week’s S.E.C. and national picks, I now devote my attention to proclaiming a national game of disinterest. (Proper modifier placement! Some sportswriters know about it; some others don’t!)
This week, I had a tough time determining the college football contest toward which I felt the greatest degree of indifference. I considered recognizing Florida International at Troy, until I realized that---egad!---these two teams are both 2-0 in conference play, so this is an honest-to-goodness Sun Belt showdown. I thought about bestowing the dubious honor upon ...
Raking The Muck: Don Nelson Will Drink One For Will Yeatman and All The Michigan Fans
Rakes Of Mallow —
... Not exactly. Civil War has been declared in Ann Arbor, with people who are sane (those who think "Let's not fire the coach who has been successful everywhere else along the way because he is not excelling in the worst situation imaginable for him.") and those who deserve to be shot ("Our crappy quarterbacks seem inherently unable to complete a high percentage of passes to the no-name receivers and fumble-happy running backs. . .can the coach!"). If every Michigan Man isn't keeping a list of their idiot friends who want Rodriguez fired now so they can deny them the ...
Welcome to the Offseason of Schadenfreude
Black Heart Gold Pants —
If you thought there was plenty of opportunity to take pleasure in the sheer agony of others during this football season, well, there was.
For instance, this was fucking hilarious
But if you thought this heavy dose of schadenfreude ended with the season, think again. First there was Gene Chizik [Really? Saban LOL --ed.] taking his stellar 5-19 mark from Iowa State to Auburn, leaving his players scorned and Jamie Pollard inconsolable (and creating my favorite BHGP meme yet).
Chizik had done his part, ...
