The Victors
Great googly moogly, yesterday's game was more nerve-racking than it needed to be. So, yeah, the wily Indiana University Hoosiers are a markedly different team from any other Indiana squad I've known in a decade and a half of following football. Also, the tenacious University of Iowa Hawkeyes had a bad day last weekend; every team has bad days, Iowa just happened to have a bad day simultaneous with Indiana's good day. And once again, the valiant University of Michigan Wolverines triumphed over the Hawkeyes by the slimmest of margins. I hate playing against Ferentz's teams, they never quit. They don't know how to roll over and die. So, hail to the victors, woot, and Go Blue!

Next up, the scholarly Northwestern University Wildcats. We shall see how they respond to their humiliating and record-setting defeat at the hands of the dastardly Michigan State University Spartans.

Honolulu Blue Forever
22-65, Mr. Millen, 1-6 on the year. Have you so decency?

To achieve 2005's and 2003's 5-11 record (there is no hope of equaling 2004's "glorious" 6-10 finish), the Lions will have to go 4-5 in the last nine games; I am sorry, my friends, but we simply are not up to the task. Mirroring Marty Mornhinweg's abysmal records will require: 2002: 3-13, Lions go 2-7 in last nine games; 2001: 2-14, 1-8 in the last nine. I just don't see 4-5 as realisitic; so, Rod Marinelli is going to be, on paper, a worse coach than Steve Mariucci. Will he turn out to be a bettter coach than the villain Mornhinweg? Looking at the last nine games, 2-7 looks highly probable, and the 3-6 necessary to best 2002 looks tough. Dear Bog, we're actually getting worse. For pity's sake, Millen, have you no decency?
