This Post Needs No Title

Last weekend was the best football weekend ever. I watched so many games with Stacey and Kevin. We had fun ripping on all of the terrible commentators. Everyone talked about how badly the Big Ten did since U-M, Ohio State, and Iowa lost. But they were the ONLY Big Ten teams to lose. The Big 10* has the best record with Big 12 (which actually does have 12 teams). We still have a couple of weeks before the teams all start beating each other up. I am changing my prediction... MSU will beat ND and stop this "Charlie Weis Revival" crap and bringing my record prediction to 8-4. A little DYK (that's Did You Know for those of you who don't watch ESPN as much as I do) MSU is the number one offense in the country. ND did beat two ranked teams, but Pitt lost to Ohio in week 2 and U-M's offense is not as strong as people think. But isn't every other State fan still a little skiddish at the thought of a chance at a conference title? I remember the last time we all thought MSU would be really good. We wound up with a QB in rehab (unfortunately he wasn't rehabbing his knee) and a terrible season. I will always hope they can do it, just wouldn't put money on it.

As to the NFL, my playoff picks went 6-6 last week. Only one of me AFC picks lost and only one of my NFC picks won. Which sucks because two of the NFC teams played each other, so that was a gimme. My fantasy teams some how went 2-1. I lost because I started Culpepper and lost by one. Daunte lost me 6 points, so I would've won had I not started a QB. Ah well, long season ahead.

After some 33 posts, I finally got into an argument with someone over a blog. Funny thing is that it was over one of my first posts. Not gonna elaborate since I don't want to start another.

This new radio station popped up on 101.7, which means I won't be able to hear "Listen to Your Heart" on the half hour. It's called Mike FM (I hope it doesn't get to D's head) and I still can't figure out what kind of radio station it is... they say they play anything. For example, I've heard "We Didn't Start the Fire", U2's "Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own", and some weird 80s rap. Right now, "Purple Rain" is on. I don't remember hearing any DJs in the 8 hours that I've been listening to it. I'm thinking the "station" is a computer in some guy's basement with the shuffle on.

I found my Red Sox hat this morning when I woke up. I knew today should be a good day. Anyone else find it odd that I can't find the hat and the Sox lose and the Yankees win big? We'll see tonight if finding the hat turns things around.

Another softball game tonight. I have a hitting streak going on. Hopefully I can add to the one. Maybe finding the Red Sox cap was a good sign for the game.

I leave for vacation in 4 days. I am very excited. I'm going to Mackinac with Stacey, which means I'll be eating a lot of fudge. I'll burn it off somehow. Giggidy giggidy GIGG-I-DY. Haha... just kidding. I'm also glad that gas prices are dropping. Any chance it'll go down to $1.50 before we leave?

Looking back on the weekend, I think I watched at least 7 different football games. Good times.

I listened to a little bit of 101.7 this morning. I give the new format a thumbs down. Their slogan should be "We play.....anything....even if it sucks."

You found your hat already?! Sigh, I guess I'll have to hide it better next time.

I watched 5? U-M, 1/2 of MSU, Ohio St, most of the Vikings game, and all of the Lions game. The MSU game had the worst commentators by far.

I kinda like 101.7 A lot of stuff you wouldn't hear anywhere else... you gotta admit that. (This message paid by 101.7, Mike FM)

I watched those five, then I counted the Colts/Ravens game and the monday night Eagles/Falcons.

Yes, 101.7 plays things that you won't hear on other stations. There is a reason why those songs aren't played on other stations. The other stations don't want them.
