The Victors: Halftime
Iowa 17-6 Michigan (№ 13)

I have nothing against Devin Gardner, but I've reached the conclusion that I not only disagree with Offensive Coordinator Al Borges's tactic of inserting Gardner in at quarterback on truly random plays, but actually hate Borges. I want some thrice-damned ne'er-do-well to gut that corpulent blighter like a fish, to leave whatever remains of the remains on public display as a warning to others about the perils of being too clever by half. Under Coach Rodriguez, it seemed necessary constantly to remind him & his staff, though those reminders went unheeded, that it did not matter how well the offense played if the defense couldn't ever stop the opposing offense. It seems increasingly necessary to remind Coach Hoke & his staff that it doesn't matter how well the defense plays if the offense can't put up a reasonable number of points. Why do we continue to hire dimwits who only see one-half of what is a gloriously multifaceted game? *grumble grumble*

Go Blue!
