Two Minute Drill

* MVictors corrects my record - and I'm even more awesome than I thought.  Also interesting was looking at the list of winningest coaches in the history of the Big 10.  Coming in at #7:  Lloyd Carr.

* Brian at MGoBlog presents Senior Day Haiku (we're always trying to help some of the smaller Michigan blogs get a little traffic)

* Tony Gerdman's Michigan Monday - Check out his comment on the special teams and the call right before the half.  Said the same thing as we were watching the game (correction, Gerd: the Michigan D gave up ZERO offensive TDs to Purdue last Saturday, not one.  Their lone TD was a Denard pick-six)

* The Wiz was in West Lafayette for the Purdue game and took a lot of pix.

* You know how Michigan State has a reputation as a party school?  Well it's not thanks to these guys.

* If you haven't seen it already, this middle school trick play is the best you'll probably see this year.

* Remember college?

I love how the slipper-boots match the trash can.

*  Michigan coaches going pink Saturday for a good cause - no, not as some comment about the defense but to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

* Maize N Brew Dave says sources "inside Schembechler Hall have confirmed with us that Michigan's offensive and defensive coaches have re-doubled their efforts to prepare the Wolverines for their critical midseason showdown" with Iowa.  Really?  I would've thought they would have doubled down in preparation for the showdown with our undefeated, ranked, intrastate rival which we hadn't beaten the previous two seasons.  But maybe that's just me.

*  High class problems:  Some Bucks uneasy about being #1

Taking one final look back at the wreckage that was the M/MSU game...

*  Brian at MGoBlog sums it up perfectly.

* And *sigh* so does Gerd in his always-excellent-but-sometimes-painful-to-read Michigan Monday column

*  Is Michigan the best flag football team in America?

* Lloydballed

*  UPDATE: And this late addition from Genuinely Sarcastic is spot on.

*  Finally, MZone reader KCM is either a) getting into the Halloween spirit or b) making a comment on how anything with a winged helmet tackled last Saturday.

Two-Minute Drill

*  If you haven't seen the Denard: The Happening vid over at MGoBlog, you must.  It was done by an MGoBlog reader.  Fantastic stuff.

*  Think the fight to preserve the M/OSU game was the first time Michigan fans had to rise up to strike down a bad idea?  Wrong.  MVictors uncovers a letter to the Daily from 1910 (yes, 1910) written by a 'Senior' upset that the band was no longer playing The Victors before each game.  Great find!

*  What is the UMass blogosphere saying about the game?  Here you go.  My favorite part -- the poll asking folks to vote for their predictions on the game tomorrow.  The choices range from "Michigan by a bazillion" to "UMass by 21+."  Three percent of voters picked that final box.  Now, normally I would laugh and laugh and laugh.  Mock, even.  And while I don't think in a million years that could happen, there was this game three years ago...

*  Finally, you're never too young to start getting ready for The Game...
