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.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
