In-Game Thoughts (College Football)

Thought I'd do a post here and give thoughts on games as they progress.

What is it about Michigan receivers? They don't fight for the ball, they make routine drops, and they hurt their QB's stat sheet. Manningham, not Henne, was to blame for the first INT in that game. Although, to now, the real story in that game is the Wisconsin run blocking. That's a very nice O-Line.

Officiating is off to another bad start ... just look at the Iowa-Illinois game.

I'll update as I have more thoughts and flip between games (I've got Iowa-Illinois, Michigan-Wisconsin, and Purdue-Minnesota).

Kick early, go for it late, Lloyd Carr. I hope those three points come back to haunt you.

Manningham is definately a Michigan receiver. He drops the easy ones, and then makes the spectacular.

Anyone else disappointed whenever they pan to the sideline during a Minnesota game and it's not Craig T. Nelson?

Ron Zook is not a good head coach (not news, I know, but it sure is being reinforced)

I hate stupid announcers. With a passion. 1:02 to go in the first half, Wisconsin gets a third-down stop on Michigan. The referee winds the clock and the seconds start to tick off, even though the stop went out of bounds. Wisconsin calls timeout (obviously, the clock was running and the ref wound it), and the announcers proceeded to spend the rest of the half talking about the "mistake" of calling timeout. Stupid announcers.

Manningham is Richie Sexson. He's either gonna hit a homerun, or he's gonna strike otu. Lucky for him, his latest homey has Michigan up.

How about that Georgia-Colorado game? Did anyone see that coming? I have a theory: Karma. Last time Han Hawkins played Georgia? They ran up the score on Boise State and trashed talked like it was a title game.

Michael Hart is going on my Heisman ballot. Anyone who gets that many after-contact yards and after-contact chances is a beast.
