So the “big game” was today… Did you watch?  Hopefully you did not waste your time like I did today.  Here is a quick wrap up of the game and what should happen next year with this “rivalry”.

There was never a moment where Michigan ever had a chance of beating Ohio State today. Even when Michigan were driving hard into Ohio State territory,on the cusp of scoring, you never felt they had the confidence score, much less win this game. Big Balls Rod had a bad game plan, players who were not ready, and really poor adjustments at the half. It’s going to take the next Michigan coach at least 4 years to turn that pitiful program around.  A complete and total mess.  Look, I’m not a fan of any Michigan or Ohio sports program whether it be Pop Warner, College, or Pro and I feel bad for the players trapped on these teams.  Ohio State is an incredibly weak team this year and the fact that the final score was only 21-10 proves how bad both teams are these days.  Storied programs?  Legendary rivalry?  Not anymore people.  I vote next year they do not televise the Ohio State/Michigan game.  These “programs” are total embarrassments to the game of football.  Feel shame.

Talk about the battle of who cares less.  A mediocre Ohio State team is going to play a horrible Michigan team.  Do you remember a few years back when this was the battle of the number one and two teams in the country?

If you are even remotely interested in this game you fall under one of these categories:

#1)  You had the displeasure of being recruited by one of these colleges.  You have to play.

#2) You are one of those die hard Michigan fans who brag that they are the “winningest football of programs of all time”.  You are ignoring the fact that you had a 60 year head start on 95% of the teams playing today.  You have little in life that brings you joy.  You should look into finding multiple hobbies.

#3) You are on the coaching staff.  See #1’s reason.

#4) You are a Ohio State fan.  Let’s face it, you have very little going in this mortal coil outside rooting for this below average football team.  You also know that Michigan BLOWS HUGE HEARTY CHUNKS under Rich “Big Balls Rod” Rodriguez.  You smell blood in the water and could care less that in 3 years time your team as well could become the national embarrassment that Michigan is right now.

#5) You are related in some way to one of the kids playing in this game.  You have to watch.

#6) You work for a media company that is forcing you to cover this game.  That sucks for you but at least you are getting paid for your attendance to this Pop Warner level football game.

#7) You are a bookie in Vegas and you had the task of trying to figure out a line that would make you the most money.

#8) You are a member of the Dead Schembechlers.  A spectacular band that takes punked up R.E.M.-ish sounding songs and writes Michigan hate songs.  Oddly enough, if you fall under this reason why you are watching this game, you are having the best time during this debacle of a game.

#9) You are a proud member of these once “beloved” schools.  You call one of these two hell holes your alma mater.  You get to spend the afternoon talking about the old days.

#10) You are Sarah Santarelli, Cheerleader for Ohio State.  I looked online and saw both squads.  Sarah is hands down the hottest cheerleader of the two squads.  She’s a senior and her major is nursing.  Sarah… Email me… lenny (at) wnde.com.  Let’s go to Steak n’ Shake for dinner!

If this game goes like we all think it should, Michigan doesn’t stand a chance.  Ohio State wins this game.

If I’m wrong, I’ll check in later.  If not, I’ll have more stuff up tomorrow.

Dear Michigan Wolverines nation,

This does not seem like rebuilding when you lose to Illinois 38-13.  I’m pretty sure at this point you jack offs wished that that Les Miles rumor a few years ago was true.  You know, the one where he was going to be your coach.  But, allegedly he was stiff armed by Lloyd Carr.

***On a side note, everyone when they get a chance, check out any Michigan Wolverines message board.  Everyone is an expert and has someone they know who is in on what happens in the inner circle of the team.  It’s comedy gold!***

Instead you open mouth breathing morons have, Rich “Big Balls Rod” Rodriguez.

Today was the worst loss of the last 40 years.  I’m saying a lot with that statement.  The Wolverines have been schooled by Ohio State many, many, many, many times.  Pick any one of those losses and you do not come within a country mile of what happened today.

This has completely surpassed App State level of loss.

This most definitely has to sting.

Can you win another game this season?  Maybe…. but, we’ve seen the teams coaching… Maybe not…

Cheers,

Lenny

Michigan sports has been in a lull over the last two years.  It doesn’t matter the sport or the team.  It seems all of them have experienced kicks in the ding ding for a while.  However, let’s us today focus on a great inner Michigan rivalry that played out yesterday, Michigan vs. Michigan State.

For the second year in a row the Spartan Nation has been blessed with a Michigan State Spartans victory over “winningest program of all time, the douche bags of the average Michigan Wolverines.

The last time two Spartan victories happened was in 1967.  Damn, that’s a long time ago.  The number one song in the nation that week was Box Tops “The Letter”.   The Beatles were still a active band.  They had three number one songs that year (“Penny Lane”, “All You Need is Love” and “Hello, Goodbye”).

Michigan State was ahead with less than a minute to go when Wolverines red shirt freshman Tate Forcier put together a masterful drive which ended with a 9 yard pass to Roy Roundtree which threw the game into overtime.

Tate was on track to be the hero for the average Wolverines.

Michigan won the toss and they had the ball!  Things were looking up for the much embattled Rich Rodriguez coached Wolverines until…….. Tate threw a costly interception.

How costly?

Two plays later Michigan State running back Larry Caper peels off a 24 yard run for a touchdown.

Tate now is the goat.

Michigan State 26 – Michigan 20.  The Wolverines swallow defeat and sadness once again.

Now don’t you fret none too much about Tate Forcier.  Tate has a bright future as quarterback for the Wolverines.  He’ll be able to evolve as Rodriguez rebuilds the Wolverines team over the next few years.

Michigan State Spartans with a much needed win to turn the season around stand at a teetering on the brink of no bowl game invite 2-3.   As for the Michigan Wolverines, they stand before you after this game as a very weak 4-1 football team.

Neither team has what it takes to do anything truly great this season.  Michigan swallows failure for another year in college football.
