College Football 2018 Week 1 Preview | Saturday, 2018 August 25 - 1:27 pm |
Gonna give this another go for the 2018 season. How long will it last? Probably until Michigan's first soul-crushing loss, which could come as early as week 1! But hopefully not. Technically we're not even to week 1 yet, but there are a handful of games today (TODAY!) and more coming up Thursday, so I'm getting off to an early start. For a change. Read more... |

There are multiple reasons why Apple may have come out with this device. Read more... |

Hey Everybody | Saturday, 2015 August 22 - 11:04 am |
I guess the site's been down for a couple of days due to changes from my web host. I'm here so rarely that I didn't even notice. So, what's new? Well, there'll be some interesting Apple news coming up, and I'm getting geared up to resume reporting on college football. This season is hopeful for both Michigan and NCSU, so maybe it'll be more cheerful than years past. Anyway, who knows if anyone still even reads this stuff any more, but if you do, sorry for the inconvenience. Regular posting will resume shortly. |

2014 Elections: The Aftermath | Wednesday, 2014 November 5 - 12:13 pm |
Well, it's pretty much over: Republicans have retaken the Senate. Alaska is still counting but will probably go to Sullivan (R) over Begich (D). Louisiana will go to a runoff in December that favors the Republican. It looks like Warner (D) will squeak by in Virginia over Gillespie (R); this after he was projected to win by something like 9%. So in the end, it looks like a 54-46 majority for the Republicans. Read more... |

College Football 2014: The End | Sunday, 2014 September 28 - 12:36 pm |
Back in 2008, I stopped blogging about football midway through the season. Michigan was in Rich Rodriguez's first year, glumly looking at a 2-6 record, and struggling with a couple of earnest but untalented quarterbacks. To some degree the struggles were understandable: there was a major schematic shift in the offense, and the quarterback cupboard was left bare after Ryan Mallett transferred. Michigan limped to a 3-9 record that year, and I thought it was the nadir of Michigan football. Read more... |
