Michigan plays Penn Sate this week and is looking to help Penn State not go winless. We hope for a win, but not sure our team is up for it.
Well folks called that one.

The other intra-state rivalry almost as much fun (to me) to follow is the Egg Bowl (Ole Miss vs Mississippi State). Seriously, do you think the punters will even see the field this game? I predict at least 60 points scored by both teams and very little defense (now watch me be COMPLETELY wrong).
See, kids, THIS is why I don't gamble. I would lose my shirt.
I didn't get to see much of the Egg Bowl because I watched more of the aTm-LSU game since the SEC has altered the schedules for the remaining two weeks. Bama plays LSU next so I wanted to get more familiar with them - the game will be in Red Stick.
My Iron Bowl game was pretty decisive in the win for the Tide over Auburn. We did get lucky when an Auburn receiver beat the deep coverage and the qb got him the ball over his shoulder and he just plain dropped it on the run. He was VERY wide open. Otherwise we gave up two field goals and a late trash td. It was the last home game of the year. I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall watching Coach Saban watching the game on tv at home. It probably would have been hilarious.
I think I'm going to request reassignment of my season ticket seat location for the upcoming seasons. If an opening comes up, the ticket office tries to accommodate seat move requests from existing season ticket holders before opening to new ticket holders. I'd like to be in the same general area of the corner of the upper deck where I am - just maybe a little lower (I'm in row 10 and highest is row 26). It may or may not happen so it will become an annual request until it happens.
Interestingly, along with the cold snap that will be here this week, the Alabama High School football championship games will be held this week here in Tuscaloosa at Bryant Denny Stadium (they alternate years between the Bama and Auburn college stadiums). I attended champ games here in the past when my kids were in the high school band and it will be fun to see more football action. We have 7 levels of football in the state with 7A being the biggest schools. The 7A game is first on Wednesday night (they get the first game on the grass field - by the last game it's pretty chewed up) and then three on both Thursday and Friday (a morning, an afternoon, and an evening game). Tix are cheap so I'll make as many as I can since it's only a 10 minute walk from the house for some fun entertainment.
Bama Ed
PS - and Penn State got their first win of the season (PaHunter DID call it - give the man credit)
How cold was it at the Bama/Auburn game, I saw they had the big salamander heaters going on the sidelines ??
Lol, thats why i put the treee on the short wall!
But as Southerners, PaHunter, our blood thins and we can't handle those cold mid 50s temps too well.
PS - even WITH a 30% discount I don't want to pay what they are asking.
Gotta fill the coffers to buy that next championship somehow
Or, if you believe the LSU fans, for The Red Elephant Club (secret booster group) to fund raise for the new Dodge Chargers that we hand out every year to all the 'cruits once they sign.
they just give fake jobs to players parents.
Well, 55-17 i think pretty much assures there won't be any Beat Bama Burgers sold this year.
Well turned the Bama/Arkansas game on just in time to see them score 14 points in 14 seconds. There are now working on a total blowout, 5 min left in the first half and 31-3. Should be at least 38-3 by half time.
