The Victors (Halftime Report)

Michigan 21-21 Ohio State (№ 3)

Well, that was unexpected. There were moments in the first half when the valiant Wolverines' offense looked as ill-conceived & poorly-executed as one would expect from a unit under the buffoonish Al Borges's coordination, but there were also moments when that same offense looked, dare I say it, competent. Able, even! The hated Buckeyes' legions of fair weather fans were surely wetting themselves through much of that first half, as they anticipated (as did I) that their club would run away with this game from the opening kickoff. That alone, imagining their dismay, makes this day worthwhile. We will be overwhelmed & beaten down in the second half—remember that Coach Brady Hoke & his bumbling staff lack the mental capacity to make the halftime adjustments that are de rigueur for a major college football club—but for thirty minutes at least the underachieving valiant Wolverines played the much-lauded hated Buckeyes dead even. That alone will be enough to guarantee Coach Hoke another year at the helm of the Maize & Blue &, alas, might be enough to buy the buffoonish Borges another year too. I love "the Game"!

Go Blue!
