  1. Washington sure seems like this year’s TCU to me. Heisman Trophy runner-up QB with a top receiver puts up a lot of points offensively, but lived a charmed life all season as a mid defense led to a lot of one-score wins and close calls. I know what happened last year against TCU but Michigan has learned its lesson. I see something like Michigan 45 Washington 24.
  2. This increases the chances of GB getting the #6 seed over the Rams. Rams resting Matthew Stafford, putting potential playoff tilt vs. Lions in flux https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2024/01/03/los-angeles-rams-reportedly-resting-matthew-stafford-detroit-lions/72098235007/
  3. It was dumb to use a 1st round pick on Cossa. Goalie development is too much of a crapshoot. Why pick someone who MIGHT make the NHL in Year 5 after his draft (Year 3 currently) when you a choose from goalies with NHL experience? Remember the Wings using a #1 pick on Tom McCollum in 2008? Played 3 NHL games in his career. I actually liked the efforts Yzerman made in finding Ned and Husso. Neither really panned out to expectations, but cost little and we can keep trying. There is no surefire way to get a strong goalie. Edmonton and Toronto have been trying for years.
  4. Rasmussen for the block and goal into the empty net with 6 seconds to to. Raymond with 3 assists tonight. 5-3 Wings.
  5. Larkin scores as he is falling down! 90 seconds away from first regulation win since December 12. Or maybe credited to Perron.
  6. These are not good teams.
  7. Perron ties it.
  8. Nope, they will need to score 4 or more. Trail 3-2 with 10 minutes to go.
  9. Think the Wings can actually get a win by only scoring 3 goals? 2-2 now.
  10. Sharks may have just tied it at 1 late in 1st. Play is under review but I think it is a flukey but valid goal. Confirmed.
  11. Need to turn the page on the dreadful December. The Wings aren't out of it, but they've gone from banking points to digging themselves a hole.
  12. Band gets 3 seconds to celebrate, then right into their instruments for a 20-second musical interlude, then get to resume the celebration.
  13. I thought before the game that Michigan could win but JJ would have to have a great game and Michigan would have to be largely mistake-free. Neither happened but they still won. I'd give the defense an A+ and JJ a B and special teams an F. The win probability, in my own melodramatic mind, went something like this: - Kickoff: Alabama 55%, Michigan 45% - Muffed punt into Alabama TD: Alabama 90%, Michigan 10% - End of 1st quarter: Michigan 60%, Alabama 40% - Halftime: Michigan 60%, Alabama 40% - End of 3rd quarter: Michigan 50%, Alabama 50% - Midway through 4th quarter: Alabama 80%, Michigan 20% - After Michigan tied it 20-20: Michigan 50%, Alabama 50% - Start of OT: Michigan 60%, Alabama 40% - After Corum's OT TD: Michigan 75%, Alabama 25% - 4th and 3: Michigan 80%, Alabama 20% (less than 50% chance for Bama to convert, then I'd still favor Michigan in 2OT)
  14. Ned Harkness, the Wings' GM for three seasons in the early 1970s, deserves a dishonorable mention. His relatively short tenure prevented him from doing as much damage as many of the names on your list, but he was so bad it led to the "Darkness Under Harkness" moniker.
  15. Regents Field sports bar in Ann Arbor watching the 4th down play.
  16. All they had to do was kneel 3 times and get a punt off to give it back to Texas deep in the own end with 20 seconds.
  17. Times Michigan was forced into overtime: Before Stslions resigned. 0 After Stalions resigned: 1
  18. “Welfar check on Finebaum by the way. Anybody? Heeheehee. I shouldn’t do that, I should be above it. But guess what. It’s Michigan vs Everybody”
  19. Probably just because of a conflict with NFL’s Sunday. Nee Year’s Day is in on Wednesday next year so Tiesday games shouldn’t be an issue.
  20. IF they go on to win next week and do so in routine, anti-climactic fashion (I’m not assuming that at all), this win might go down as the biggest in Michigan history, period.
  21. I can’t decide which site I will enjoy most this evening - Mgoblog or Elevenwarriors?
