LSU wins BCS title!

Well Michigan found a way to beat OSU! Except it wasn't Michigan vs. OSU, it was a "Michigan Man" vs. OSU. Les Miles won his first BCS national title with a beatdown of the Buckeyes! Congrats to the Tigers and to Coach Miles! I couldn't think of a better team for you to beat to win the title!

Update on my Fantasy Football Championship Game

I lost by 1 point!! Are you kidding me? 1 measley, lousy and little point? Why? Because Vince Young hurt his widdle quad muscle and had to come out of the game! He was 1 point short of me winning the title for the first time in 7 years! I could have won if he got 1 more rushing yard or 14 more passing yards or even if his reciever would have caught a TD pass right in his hands! (As my ex-youth minister, when I was a child, Wes Cantrell, or my brother Matt, would say; It hit him in a bad place! THE HANDS!!

I could have won if the Bengals RB, Kenny Watson, would have rushed for 1 more yard! There are so many ways I could have won! But I guess I have no one to blame but myself. Why?

Because I decided to sit Plaxico Burress and Brandon Jacobs, both members of the New York football Giants, because it was very unknown if 1.) They would start the game at all. 2.) If they did start, how long would they play or contribute?

So I sat them both and they put up 36 points combined! I decided not to start Jacobs because he had been hurting and it was thought that he may rest as well as Plaxico.

Well it cost me the title but I will live because: MICHIGAN BEAT FLORIDA AND I CAN TALK SMACK TO MY BOY CHIZ UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THEY PLAY!

A class act goes out on top!



In my opinion, Lloyd Carr went out the way he should have gone out; A WINNER!

He was a winner on and off the field. He caught alot of heat for being conservative. (Starting with me) He was told the game had passed him by and he was too old. But let's just review a few of his accomplishments for one second:

1.) He coached Michigan to a 122-40 overall record.

2.) He coached Michigan to their first national title in over 50 years!

3.) He coached a team that sent over 100 players to the NFL.

4.) He coached a team that ran a clean program and was never placed on probation or investigated by the NCAA.

Lloyd Carr's players will be the first to tell you that he is like their second father. He instilled class, discipline and a love for Michigan football to each and every one of his players!

Here's to you Coach Carr! Thanks for ringing in 2008 on a great note for all of us "MICHIGAN MEN"!

Hey Urban Cryer, CHOMP ON THIS!!
