The Perverse Joy Of Abject Stupidity

11/15/2008 a?" Michigan 14, Northwestern 21 a?" 3-7, 2-6 Big Ten



At halftime I momentarily thought I had found a forgotten pair of hand warmers in the recesses of my jacket, only to pull out an empty packet of trail mix and other assorted detritus. This was worse than having no hope of hand ...

Obviously Something Is Wrong

I am attempting to discern what.

UPDATE: I done did unbroke it!



Mailbag!

Brian:

What do you think about, in the wake of over half the student section not showing up for Northwestern), having a "first come-first served" system, to encourage students to show up early for games? Having half the student section, so-called the most "passionate" fans, not show up on senior day, even despite the conditions (they're 18!--if my dad can show up at 51, so can they), that was just embarrassing.

I participated the past couple weeks but I'll be enduring the weather this time around and will be mostly unavailable. CIL has added The ability to publish Twitter feeds, though, so I might send a text or two. As always, check the Live Blog Chaos Mitigation Post if you're new.

Picture Pages: Bubble Screen Professor

The bubble screen is a staple of the spread 'n' shred. It's tough to defend without committing a player that would otherwise be in the box to the slot receiver, and if you've got the right zippy dwarf running it it can break big.

Upon Further Review: Offense vs Minnesota

A note on the defensive formations below: I'm just trying to generally describe what kind of front Minnesota is in. I don't have any idea who is who on Minnesota's team and on TV they never tell you about substitutions, so I have little idea if Minnesota actually had, say, four linebackers on ...

Mailbag!

Brian,

 

While the season has not been a "success", so to speak, I guess I'm a bit surprised at the pessimism about our future seasons.  The bowl streak is over and the 2005 season sounds like a dream at this point, however, I think that there may be some hope for the future.
