11/15/2008 – Michigan 14, Northwestern 21 – 3-7, 2-6 Big Ten
At halftime I momentarily thought I had found a forgotten pair of hand warmers in the recesses of my jacket, only to pull out an empty packet of trail mix and other assorted detritus. This was worse than having no hope of hand ...

“Unbreakable Stupidity”
WaitingForNextYear —
... I know that this is odd timing given Michigan week and all. But if you can somehow pull yourself away from the rooting interest of Brian Cook, I strongly recommend checking out his recent post titled The Perverse Joy of Abject Stupidity . Hell, if you’ve even watched all these games and maintained enough emotional attachment to swear profusely during them, you’re at least a purple belt or a yellow belt or whatever is pretty high up on the belt list. You probably didn’t do this by choice. Anyone with a choice either didn’t show up or left or checked out emotionally. You stayed ...
Profiles in Disillusion: Wolverines down to the cold, bitter end, Plus: Ron Prince's Super Mario memories
Dr. Saturday —
A weekly look at conquered favorites and other notables picking up the pieces of shattered ambition.
Not loud. Not necessarily proud. Just loyal. Loyal and sad. There is a smattering of Michiganders in this video following the now-3-8 Wolverines' home loss to Northwestern in unholy winter conditions:
If you are one of them, you are automatically awarded the black belt in fandom.
Answer the question, Tommy. Auburn's own fans weren't that hard on the Tigers for a close, could-have-been loss to ...
Pistols at Dawn

... slanderous, and sometimes outright wrong. These opinions to not mesh with our world view, or in the case of Michigan Football, how we see things.
The last year has been as difficult as any living Wolverine fan has ever experienced. For young and old alike, this season is new ground. When you lose your eighth game in a season for the first time in 129 years of football, it's fair to say that everyone's starting from scratch. Even so, the resilience of Michigan fans, their strength and sense of humor have shone through the darkness that a 3-8 season ...
Don't Bet On It!: Around the S.E.C.
Dawg Sports —
While it sounds good to say that I went 4-1 in last week’s S.E.C. predictions, last Saturday’s slate of Southeastern Conference games wasn’t any great shakes, so, really, there’s not a lot of pride to be taken in my having improved my record in league prognostications to 60-14.
In other words, don’t let the won-lost ledger fool you, folks: I’m bad at this, so my regular disclaimer continues to hold true. Whatever you do . . . Don’t Bet On It!
O.K., he can bet on it.
Here are this week’s conference contests, whether noteworthy or ...
Don't Bet On It!: National Game of Disinterest
Dawg Sports —
I’ve given you my predictions for the games of consequence, both in the S.E.C. and around the country, so it is time for me to post the final installment of this week’s "Don’t Bet On It!" selections; namely, the national game of disinterest.
For the uninitiated, the national game of disinterest is the least intriguing college football contest of any given weekend. This is the one game that I would least like to watch and am least likely to pick, because forecasting the outcome would imply that I cared enough to look up the final score afterwards.
This week, the choice of the national game of disinterest is ...
Ridiculously Early Preview: Northwestern
Maize n Brew —
... what they're doing in the Big Ten. Nothing makes sense! They're the smallest, by far, of the Big Ten schools, they're the best (probably) academic institution, and they wear purple. They are simply out gunned in football and basketball by athletic departments with far more resources and far less stringent academic policies in the Big Ten. So yeah, I had a soft spot for the little guys until they came into the Big House last year and beat Michigan on the worst day for football ever. Now? Not so much, but at least that ...
