Outback Bowl Preview: Michigan takes on South Carolina in Tampa

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

This is the first inaugural bowl preview, and I must say, I’m a bit salty that it isn’t for a more meaningful game than just the Outback Bowl.  I’ll break down both team’s offenses and defenses, then provide you with … Continue reading →

God Bless Calvin Johnson: The Road to 2,000

Posted on December 23, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

108 more yards.  Seems simple enough. I fell in love with this guy when he was plying at Georgia Tech.  Specifically on this play: He was only true freshman when this happened in 2004, and you knew he was poised … Continue reading →

Better Late Than Never I Guess: Michigan vs. Ohio State, Nice Job Al Borges

Posted on December 17, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Ugh.  I’ve been waiting to write this for a long time now.  It’s long overdue, but I just couldn’t bear to re-live this game.  I was going to just combine this with the Bowl Game preview, but obviously decided not … Continue reading →

The 1st Annual Coaches Poll Olympics

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Let me preface this post by saying that I do not think something like this is more of an atrocity or more of a problem than the types of issues this world faces on a daily basis.  Or more of … Continue reading →

AP Poll Olympics: Pre-Bowl season finale

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

This is obviously the last poll prior to the bowl games, and some of the entries are just astonishing.  Thank god the AP Poll is no longer a part of the BCS Standings…it’s just too bad that the computer polls … Continue reading →

Under The Lights Round 2: Michigan vs. Notre Dame 2013

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

As it was to be expected, Michigan’s last scheduled home game against Notre Dame will be a night game.  This is for three obvious reasons.  #1 their home schedule before the month of November is pretty terrible, #2 this is … Continue reading →

Lions vs. Colts: I think this team is trying to kill me

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Honestly, that was an absolutely soul-crushing loss last Sunday.  Sure it didn’t matter because they already had screwed themselves out of a playoff spot, but still.  I’m sick and tired of watching this team piss away leads purely because they … Continue reading →

Notre Dame LB Manti Te’o should not win the Heisman. Here’s Why.

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Let me preface this by saying that this has nothing to do with wanting Charles Woodson to stay as the only primarily defensive player to ever win the Heisman.  I thought that Ndamukong Suh deserved the Heisman when he was … Continue reading →

The NFL’s shift to an offense oriented explosive league continues, even if it changes the integrity of the game

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Ed Reed’s comments this past weekend after the Baltimore Ravens loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers brought to light a pretty interesting idea, the NFL cares more about offensive players than defensive players. Through no fault of their own, defensive players … Continue reading →

Lions vs. Texans: Pure Thanksgiving Day Agony

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Jeff Weintraub

Hey guys, remember when the Lions went into overtime against the Texans when they were winning 31-24? Yeah, me too. The second that Jim Schwartz threw that challenge flag I knew the game was over.  Teams never come back from … Continue reading →
