Great week for Wisconsin football, unlike last week. Badgers spot Ohio State 17 points, come back to win, deja vu to last visit there. Packers dominate the super bowl champ Ravens. Gotta like it. How’re your teams doing?

Raiders doing good 4-1, beat Indy @ Indy, tough game must of been the game of the week. Man that peyton Manning is a good QB and Indys "D" is looking pretty good too.
*Lions lost to the Vikes, Packers beat the Ravens (thatb will be the game of the week) Farve was (is) awsome, Michigan State beat Iowa. Have also become a Fresno State fan (they beat Colorado State, saw that one too)...Hottest team in College football.The Super Bowl? Packers and the Ravens, the "Pack" wins by two touchdowns.Dano
*AHHH! the smell of Cheese in the air. Packers.ComPack's 4-1 ? Gotta love it.
*J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!!Sorry, I had to.Dolphins still can't manage to hang onto a lead against gang green.
*Rams 5-0 Gotta really love it
*Mike,I think my raiders are gonna be messin up your jets this week end arent they not sure gotta check the schedule
*Looks like first place in the division! Uhhh.....Pete.....Cal???? that must mean the browns are .....uh......Not in first place! Still not ready to jump on the "Steelers as an offensive powerhouse" bandwagon yet. Hoping there's room for improvement. Jeff
*A "Lions Knock-Knock Joke"....Knock-Knock!Who's There?Owen!Owen Who?Owen Six! (0-6)Thomas..by the lake (Michigan), closer to Green Bay than Pontiac....
*Pack is definitely for real! I've looked forward to this the whole off season (they finished last year playing real good football)! As long as they don't have any more games in 100+ degree heat...You didn't say I couldn't reply!Rich Beckman
*The Lions were just that...vintage Lions. But did anyone see the Red Wings spoil the Islanders 5-0 start with that tying goal with 9 seconds remaining? And Yzermans' winning goal in overtime sent Osgood to the showers with tears in his eyes.....Thank goodness we have the Wolverines!blue
*Rich,You're welcome to reply all you want. About the PACKERS.Dog
*OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH! Now I understand! You don't want me saying anything about the Indiana University football team which may be the worst team I.U. has ever fielded (and that's saying a LOT)! Yet on one day, ten days ago, the I.U. football team was the best team in the country, beating Wisconsin 63 - 32(???), or something like that! OK, Dog, I'll keep my mouth shut...maybe no one here noticed it when it happened....Rich Beckman
*Brett Farve: QB rating over 147, 152 is perfect. The Pack is Back!Lions: W.C. Ford's little piggy bank, until he wants to spend money they will always be in the basement. I still root for 'em, though.Prediction: MSU vs. U of M; MSU 35 U of M 27GO SPARTANS!!!Dano
*Geesh Rich, that Canadian air must've frozen your brain! Slow on that one!
*Dream on Dano. this isn't MSU's year. Bobby Williams is not the coach that MSU needs. blue
*blue,Maybe not for the Big Ten title but, Williams is the coach the i team wants. That goes a long way. I stand by my prediction.b :)Dano
*I don't want to hear any of youse whining about their football teams this year. I got one sentence that'll cheer all youse up.I'm a Penn State fan.
*Pita, you have my condolences.Dano
*> Geesh Rich, that Canadian air must've frozen your brain! Slow on that one! Canadian air gots nothin' to do with it! "Slow on that one!" but not slow for me!I may be slow but my work is poor!Rich Beckman
*well, I noticed it, but I was kind. After all, it's only Wisconsin!
*Dreamer.
*ouch.
*well since they adj the schedule cuz of 9/11 my raiders got the weekend off. So their not playing the Jets, i think thats great cuz their next game is monday night vs the broncos...good game
*Ron,Raiders? Oakland Raiders? Nah, can't be... that was back whenGeorge Blanda played for them and they won. Often.Must be some High School Team you're referring to.Sponsored by that Silver and Black Gangsta Clothing Co. with the pirate logo.The Oakland Raiders wouldn't have suited-up for the Jets.They'd let the Gatoraid/Towel Boys stomp the Jets... and keep the Uniforms clean for a worthy opponent.
*We'll see in January.
*i thnk i made another mistake that theyre playing philly, well that means the 1st can get a rest and get ready for the broncs man reagen upshaw(gene s boy) and anthony dorssett(tonys boy of cowboys fame) are some awesome hitters there just like the old raiders
*Heh, the Lions! I hear they're going to move from the Silverdome to Dr. Grins Comedy Club in Grand Rapids, and all future coverage will be on Comedy Central, or possibly Lifetime. They suck at sucking, they suck so bad!did
*I think my Redskins are going to be playin there with them. I watched the first 1/4 of the Monday night game and got so embarrassed that I turned the TV off. I'm glad to see that Norv Turner is doing better at San Diego. He deserves it. Dave
*Amen! wha' happened to the Titans? Word is in TN, hell has frozen over, Vanderbilt's got a better record than the Titans.
*hehehedon't see anyone cheering on Dallas. "America's Team" my heinie.No Ron, you don't want to see my heinie!Mulchrooting for whoever's playing against Dallas
*Where, by Lake Michigan?did
*YO, you from Philly?My two favorite teams: Iggles and whoever's beating Dallas.
*mulch ,hey why not , you can help me let me see your hienie, im on a diet :)
*The Lions are going to win the super bowl!And the Red wings are going to win the stanley cup again! Watch out! Hull, Hasek, Shanahan, Yzerman, Lidstrom, Chelios, Robitaille, Bowman....You can bet the ranch....blue
*What's his name is about ready to screw up....and then your fans will jump all over him and Cowher. Looks like with the make up game, you'll have to wait to collect/payoff your bet. First in the div. by default. Enjoy it while you can. How's that? enough for now?
*what - no shorts? For you, that must be a tough love diet! ;-)
*Thomas, yup, you were right on.i Chicago at the top of the Black and Blue Division, now that's a surprise.Biggest disappointment: Fresno State and Edwards only gettin' a 2 game suspension. Lost all respect for those quys.This week's wish: That the Tampa Bay vs. Green Bay is televised out here.This weeks's prediction: MSU 35 UofM 27Could it be possible, Packers vs Steelers in the Super Bowl?Dano
*i This weeks's prediction: MSU 35 UofM 27 Dan - yer gonna owe me a beer or three, boyo! My prediction - Wolverines win again!
*Okay, Wolve, yer on!Dano
*Wolv,I'll bet you a brewski for the fun of it, don't know where they're playing but MSU sure has a heck of an offense.Should be a good one.MD
*MD,They are playing in my home town, East Lansing! Ah, Big Ten smash mouth football, the best!Dano
*ahh - I see what it is - a moo u boy from birth, eh? :-)Okay guys - whoever loses this one is gonna have to really buy the beers, I can tell! BTW - I don't drink BUD. Just warnin ya!
*Wolve,Yupper, saw the game where Duffy kissed Ara in '66 for the National Campionship. Went for the tie instead of the win.Totally bummed out though, all week ESPN be toutin' this game. Turned on the TV, Purdue and Illinois, yawn.Dano
*Dano - talk about a bummer! ABC had the game at 3:30pm, of course we watched it. Right now, I'm bleedin' blue - but this beer is for you, boyo! Name yer poison!Off to feed the dejected troops, hopefully pulled pork will help! ;-)
*Hey Wolve,Thanks for the beer! Man, missed a great game, my dad called me just after it ended. Too bad the Spartan's have been more spoilers and giant killers than a "contenda".....Any who, much obliged.Danoah, blue, oh blue...... where are you, you blue eyed deveil? hehehe
*Don't pay Wolvie! The homer on the clock won that game...MSU didn't! They stopped that clock before the ball was snapped!blue
*That one belongs to the time keeper Dan. A true footballer wouldn't be celebrating such a cheap win.blue
*I didn't see it. But I'm sure the Wolv is not pleased. Make mine Guinness!(Badgers win)
*Blue, Yeah, yeah, yeah, bla, bla, bla. I checked, no controversy, except by the square heads from Ann Arbor. Tico runs for 211 yards through the "vaunted" Wolverine defensive line, check the stats. Besides it's the Referee who is in charge of the clock, not "some homer". Hehehe- UofM's BCS hopes down the tubes.They're just overated, can't even win a game where they sack Smoker 12 times, MVP for UofM was their second string QB.Dano
*Ok, Smoker only got sacked 11 times for a total of 79 yards.
*well Dano, I hate to say this, but I did watch the game, and even with the 211 on the ground, the Wolvies gave the spartans a gift, No question. We lost the game, you guys did not win it, if you know what I mean.Blue - the clock thing? hmmm. I watched the game, once you snap the ball you get to finish the play, no? I think they had one second left when he downed it, and when the next play happened, it was like fate. Far better to grouse about how we killed ourselves with stupid penalties when we could have ended the game with over a minute left!
*Wolvie, Smoker didn't get that ball grounded before time truly ran out. If that game was played with a neutral clock, the last play wouldn't have been available. They stopped that clock before the ball was grounded.blue
*Blue-Want some cheese with that wine?Yes, the big ten refs SUCK, and have sucked for years. Payback to Michigan for some bad calls of the past? Besides, the mighty Woverines are supposed to win bigger than what can be done on one tick of the clock, right?
*Dangit,The Packers are playing Tampa Bay up here this time, and instead of November winds, snow blasting cold, it's like Florida (well, northern Fl. in winter) out here.Think I'll go work instead.Not!
*Wolve, shouldn't hate to say what you did, probably true. U of M had 74 yards in penalties, at what point they came can be a biggie too. Think I'm happy that Smoker got sacked 11 times for 79 yards in losses? At least you're being a "sport" about it. Point really is, it was a great game, sorry I couldn't watch it. Did try out ESPN's "Gamecast" though, sort of an online silent broadcast.MD, being out here in Pac 10 country, if you think Big 10 officiating sucks, watch these yahoos, worst I've ever seen. Good point about losin' it in the last second.Blue, wah, wah, wah.....If you are into college football in a big way, readi Shake Down the Thunder by Murry Sperber. It's all about Notre Dame football, good insight on officiating during the so called "Golden age" when Knute Rockne was head coach and AD. Again, the Referee holds the actual game clock, the one on the board is not official. i Success is just a matter of luck. Just ask any failure.Any who, the Bucs come to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field off a big win, the Pack has had a week off to lick their wounds, should be an interesting win for Green Bay. Green Bay 28, Tampa Bay 10.Wearin' my Green Bay Packers hat.....Dano
*Big Cal is not gonna be very happy about that Browns game, blowing a 21-7 lead with 24 seconds left to lose! Prreettyy exciting, but I was rooting for the brownies too..Next week they'll get stomped at home by Pittsburgh while the Bears get what's coming to the against the Pack.Calvin?
*Did you get the feeling that the Bears watched games four and five of the World Series? That was amazing!The Steelers need a new field goal kicker!Rich Beckman
*You mean the Steelers need i A field goal kickerRight?
*ROFLMAO!! Yeah. That's what I meant. (Took me a minute....)Rich Beckman
*Yes, Dog, I'd like some cheese. Not too strong...WAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!blue
*Yeah Rich,It would be like saying that you or I need a NEW yacht!
*Unstinkingbaleevable. Take me out to the deep end and let me jump off. Look out steelers, we may just find a way to win, we certainly got the findawaytolose taken care of. Hats off to chicago, nice place to watch a game.
*> It would be like saying that you or I need a NEW yacht!Or in my case, a new dinghy!Rich Beckman
*Cal,I was impressed with Couch. He really played great. Until a minute left, I thought maybe Cleveland had a defense. Wrong!MD
*Well I tell you what, they did and do have a pretty decent group on the defensive side of the ball. However, that contain crap the last minute, ugh. And the 1st score (in the comeback), lotta standin around. The onside kick, like it was scripted, the hail mary......I like that guy outta the backfield as a safety valve thing, heck......everybody else is looking up...... then (in OT) throw that ball 6 ft off the ground at that point on the field and even I could get lucky and get in the way......just a shitload of oh yeahs for the bears and oh no's for the browns.....good thing that italian place had good food.
*doesn't this comment belong in the why isn't it getting bigger thread? ;-)
*Zinggg!
*11/11/01, 4:00 PM, Bears 7-1
*Not.
*...and we won't even have to resort to our 4th quarter heroics!
*Only thing the Bears have going for them in this game is home field advantage
*OUCH!!
*No shortage of Bear fans driving up from the land of Lincoln here Dan. Can't swing a dead cub without hitting one in the side of the head.
*Cranium de frommage -- dogge loco,Ok, so my French sucks. I still think you folks should strap those foam wedges to yer asses, so when DA BEARS are done kicking them, they would hurt so bad. HaHaHaHaHaHA and blah, blah, blah!!!!!!I'll be thinkin 'bout ya while watching the inevidable carnage on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Eric
*Eric, Dan,Don't you just love Bears vs. Packers? Even in years when one or both teams suck, the games are always a slugfest, going back to when football was a game for tough bastards like Nitschke, Ditka, Butkus, even goons like Doug Plank, Mark Carrier, Mossy Cade, that clown who tipped McMahon upside down, Charles something or other...The cool thing is that I think the Packers have won like 10 out of the last 11 or maybe even more one-sided than that. For a while, the Packers best weapon was Dave Wannstedt! Love that guy!!!Gonna be fun.
*You know, just before I left this morning, I noticed in the paper that the Sagarin (sp?) ratings rated IU's schedule as the 10th toughest in the country! I thought, "Gee, maybe they can give Michigan St. a good game!" I come home this evening to discover that that is indeed what happened!!Amazing.Rich Beckman
*14 hours and counting...
*Who won?
*What time's the game? Seems like 6 hours and counting...
*Indiana U. Figures. Anything they can do to nail us Wolvies! ;-)
*...or 3 1/2 hours and counting...
*Hey Wolvie! Who does Michigan have left on their schedule? If they lose the next two and Indiana wins the next two (Penn State and Purdue, actually possible(?) at this point!), they would tie in the Big Ten!Couldn't get more humiliating than that!Rich Beckman
*...it's up....doink... and it's good, 6-0!!!
*...it's up...it's good, Merry Christmas...your welcome, 6-3 good guys.
*...oh no!! 10-6 cheeseheads.
*...It's up...yes...It's good, 10-9 at halftime, great game so far...
*...not this week my friend, whatcha drinkin'... Final 20-12 bad guys.
*Good game, in the true style. Favre is now 9-1 lifetime in Soldier Field. Who really needs Wannstedt?(Guinness)MD
*Big Cal:What? Cleveland loses again at home, to the guy who can't kick?Must not be too good this year either!!
*Packer - Bear game was good, especially given the outcome. What's wrong with Minnesota? They really suck! And how in the world did they beat the Pack?Rich Beckman
*Guinness it is, cheers MD (as he raises a cold Heineken)... see ya at Lambo in December to even up the score!Dan
*you gotta learn to walk b/4 you can run.........
*Some team in Wisconsin and Ohio State. Should be no problem! ;-)
*Hi folks-I am back from the dead. Hey Wolvie! What's the difference between a bantam rooster and a Michigan Cheerleader?The rooster spends all day puffing out its chest crowing"cockle doodle doo..."The U of M cheerleader spends the day wiping off her chest singing "...any c#$k will do."hope everybody is well and happy out therehub
*Or not...To the tradition!MD
*hey Hubcap,I rose from the dead a month or two ago myself, wondered what happened to you.Good to see you back.Know why it's so windy in Wisconsin?
*clink
*hey there, hub boy - how are ya? Too bad about Ohio State!
*Hey MD! How are you? Didja shoot dat dere tirty point buck yet?I give up- why is it so windy in Wisconsin?I am good Wolvie. Watching the Buckeyes has been an exercise in patience- which leaves me shutout.My son's team is my favorite Mad Dog. They finished the regular season undefeated. He scored his first two touchdowns ever-drug two defenders nine yards at the end of a thirty yard run on the second one- everybody knew who he belonged to from the yelling I did. They are off to play in a national tournament over Thanksgiving. Pretty cool.have a good dayhub
*Because Minnesota blows, and Michigan sucks..Congratulations on your son's team. Hope he stays with it.MD
*MDBreaking News...I recieved an email this afternoon, possible you could varify the info below.LOL!The NFL announced today that for financial reasons, they had to eliminate one team from the league. So they've decided to combine the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and form one team, therefore saving jobs. They will be known as the TAMPACKS. Unfortunately, they're only good for one period and have no second string.
*LOL
*Dear Wolvie,Hope you had a fine holiday and were not too upset on Saturday. Someone told me wolverines are people too... GO BUCKS!We just got back from a holiday tournament- our little guys won . It was great to see all the kids having a good time together- on the field, at the hotel, and around the town.Off to work-have a great day all
*MD, where ya at buddy?The Pack almost gave the Lions a big "W", my B-I-L is a huge GB fan (his garage is a floor to ceiling yellow and green painted shrine), and I was givin em hell in the 4th qrt. at our Thanksgiving dinner.It's lonely at the top.Go Bears!
*I'm sure it won't be lonely too long...
*
Great week for Wisconsin football, unlike last week. Badgers spot Ohio State 17 points, come back to win, deja vu to last visit there. Packers dominate the super bowl champ Ravens. Gotta like it. How're your teams doing?
Rich B., you don't need to reply~!
