"What kind of stupid question is that, Todd?"

So, another football Saturday in Ann Arbor has come and gone. Today was the big game - UM vs. OSU. I honestly wasn't expecting a whole lot, but the loss still stings. It would help if our offense showed up, but no such luck there. Today's MVP is Zolton Mesko. Not too promising when the punter is the best player on the field.

Now, for something that I've had a grievance about for quite awhile, but haven't ever put down. When going to a football game, there are certain things fans should and shouldn't wear. The following list is a compilation of things that I have seen today or at other games.

1) SHOULD: The colors of the team you are there to cheer for. For some reason, this just seems logical to me.

2) SHOULD NOT: All white. Especially when it's raining all day.

3) SHOULD NOT: Fur coats. Again, wouldn't the rain ruin it?

4) SHOULD: Lots of clothes when it's cold. Yeah, that's for the two guys in front of us without shirts on at the beginning of the game, who went and bought sweatshirts partway through the game.

5) SHOULD NOT: Team shirts that are baby blue or light pink. I don't care if you are a girl or not, wear your team colors (see #1).

6) SHOULD NOT: Team apparel from schools that aren't even playing. For example, wearing a Kansas sweatshirt at the Michigan/OSU game. Or, a Cinncinati jacket at the Michigan/OSU game. If you're going to do that, then give your ticket to someone that cares.


There is a 10am press conference scheduled for Monday morning. I expect that Lloyd Carr will be announcing his retirement, but that remains to be seen. I, for one, will be sad to see him go, but am happy that he will be allowed to leave under his accord.

THANK YOU! I do not understand why they even sell Michigan shirts in pink. I hate that, can you tell?

I am sad to see Lloyd go! I really liked him even though my dad hated him, LOL. Do you think we will get Les Miles?
