Day 95

Fresh Start_95: It’s that time of year
Tomorrow night the game of all games for Big Ten fans kicks off with huge implications that will shake up college football around the country. That game is “The Game” the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes. This rivalry is one of the best in sports and definitely one of the most significant in college sports. As a Michigan fan I am as happy and nervous as I have been in a long time. If you ask anyone around the rivalry, the opposition absolutely despises the other school. The hatred runs as deep as the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry.

The rivalries like the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry are fueled by insane fans, good teams, and talented players that have a reason to play up for the biggest game of the year. One of the reasons that you go to a school like Ohio State or Michigan is to play in a game like this.

The teams are set for an all-time game based on the implications that fall on this game. Two playoff teams (as of now) face off and will shake the college football landscape with the outcome of this game. With two great head coaches, electrifying playmakers on either side of the ball, and a hostile environment, this game will be the best game college football has seen this season. Penn State is hanging around the playoff realm and are hoping for an Ohio State loss, and with teams like Washington and Clemson looking around nervous that they won’t be playing for the National Championship.

With Wilton Speight hurt and unable to play in the big game this week, John O’Korn the transfer from Houston will take over the offensive reins. Some “experts” thought that O’Korn should have won the job outright, and with the play that O’Korn has shown in the past, I am comfortable with him under center. I don’t know who will win, and I am optimistic that Michigan will play well and win, but I am not set on that yet. Ohio State, despite a scare from Michigan State, are a very good team. There is a reason that they are the number 2 team in the country, despite my feelings about the team, this team is scary. Let’s hold off the turkey hangover, grab a drink and some popcorn and watch a very good football game tomorrow at Noon EST.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
