Moments ago, I briefly saw Skeeter. I loaned her a crappy old AC Spark Plug hat. The world is a weird place.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
If Drew Stanton can get and stay healthy, Michigan State will have a cake walk to next year's Big Ten Championship. Holy Bog, that kid was eating us alive. In the first half, Henne played more like a freshman than he had at any point in conference play, but like he has all year he held it together and came up with some big plays at the end of the game. By the time he is a senior, he's going to be beyond amazing. The same with Hart. Though I have often criticized Braylon Edwards, and rightly, because it was only this year that he really became as good as his press clippings, yesterday he was amazing. The fumble wasn't good, but it was more than outweighed by his play in the closing minutes and overtime. For the first time, I think he deserves to wear No. 1.

And Spartans, take heart. Your defense collapsed in the final minutes, allowing us to score seventeen points and send the game into overtime, but in a year or two you guys are going to be scary. Stanton is going to be a frightening force next season, and though both are good, niether Avant nor Breaston is as tall as Edwards. Next season's Micnigan-Michigan State game will be a clash of titans between top 25 teams.

Go Honolulu Blue!
Last week, the Lions played nearly flawlessly in defeating the New York (football) Giants. This week, we made too many mistakes in losing to the Dallas Cowboys. Tomorrow, I will of course be adorned in my Lions T-shirt. Next week, we're going to kick rookie Roethlisberger's arse.

H-A-N
Have a monochromatic night.
