Well, the new year is off to a good start. Michigan pulled out an exciting win in a relatively meaningless bowl game this afternoon. It was nice to beat Florida, though, after their coach whined his way into the national championship game last year. Importantly, they won despite Lloyd Carr's best efforts to give the game away at the end.
Only a Michigan fan would truly understand, but here's how the end of the game went down. Michigan only needed one first down to seal the victory. Instead of relying on their offense to deliver the first down, they ran the ball three times and kicked a field goal. This gave Florida, and their Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, the ball back with about two minutes to go and only down six points. Carr relied on a defense that lost to Appalachian State rather than an offense that has three potential first round draft choices. It worked this time, but I can think of countless other times it has not. I digress... thanks for the national championship in '97 Lloyd - and 10 subsequent years of conservative football that consistently undercapitalized on the tremendous talent on the team. It's a good day for Michigan football.
Speaking of the new year, welcome 2008 and good riddance 2007. God willing, 2008 will be a better year.
On that note, I continue to feel better with each day. I am getting plenty of rest - so much so that I am actually sleeping through the Price is Right. I am going to have to TIVO it tomorrow in case I sleep in late again.
I am starting to get my energy back and am itching to get out of the house. I hope that my house arrest sentence will be reduced at the end of the week and I'll be cleared to go back in public again. We'll see.
That's all for now. Happy new year to all and thanks for checking in.
