By the way............Major Kudos to Eastern Michigan for going out to the desert and beating Arizona State by a two-score margin. Chris Creighton is a hell of a coach. If you take out his first two years (when it was still mostly yRon English recruits, he's 36-37. To be .500 at one of the toughest schools to coach, is quite an accomplishment (your region is dominated by a much bigger school, you don't get your pocket of followers). Nebraska would be smart to at least interview him. I think he'd make them better. If he can do it at Eastern............

I will give Sparty credit though.........They were willing to schedule this game knowing how they do on the road in the Pac-12. More balls than Michigan's Athletic Department has.

Payton Thorn is broken.

Iowa scored 17 points tonight (against a Nevada team who lost their best players to the draft). Field Goal Field Goal Field Goal Safety Safety Safety Safety

UTSA is a good team. Are they ranked? They were last year. Just more of that parity. As chaotic as it is, college football really needs it. . Jesus, Payton Thorne, what the fuck are you doing there............go out of bounds. Playing with fire there. That crowd noise is really rattling Sparty. But ultimately this doesn't hurt them. May drop them in the rankings, but you take care of business in the Big 10 and you're in the picha at the end.

Because at that time nothing close to that had happened in our lifetimes. Remember Michigan was one bad penalty call away from going to a National Championship game the season before. Texas A&M may have been ranked #6, but 2 weeks in the season the rankings are more of a guess.......they haven't even been in the playoff conversation since the playoff started and they got a bunch of publicity because of all the money they spent on players. We see massive upsets like this 2 or 3 times a year now. Another thing that happened in "The Horror" in 2007 was the Big House mystique was obliterated. After that, teams weren't nearly as intimidated to come into Michigan Stadium. That game was an earthquake and it really cemented a lot of Michigan's empty arrogance. I am a Michigan fan, but I get tired of this idea that Michigan acts as if Bo won a bunch of National titles. Even as a Michigan fan it was intolerable. I don't care about the 70's..........and I REALLY don't care about titles when they still wore leather helmets. I think it kind of detracted from the now. With the transfer portal some very good players are not going to tolerate being a backup and they are going to some smaller schools where they can start and it is shaking things up. This kind of thing just isn't that rare now. Not like it was then. It was the college football version of the USA beating Russia in 1980, which, to me, is the only upset in my lifetime that was bigger than The Horror.
