We’re making a big push to get more moved into the house this weekend, including setting up an office for Patricia and the guest bedroom, and starting to straighten out the garage. I also have to clean the gutters, even though the leaves aren’t all down yet, because there’s a Pacific storm coming in on Tuesday or Wednesday of indeterminate strength and rainfall.
I did watch the Michigan game yesterday, though. In the past two weeks, I think they’ve gone from being the worst 4-0 team in the country to the best 4-2. They’re only two turnovers away from being undefeated, and if they hadn’t had so many last night, they’d have beaten Iowa handily. The defense is actually starting to look better, which gives me some hope for the rest of the season, if the quarterbacks can figure out what color jerseys they’re supposed to be throwing to. Also, I see that the Lions are off to a good start on the new losing streak to break their previous record, with a loss to the Steelers today.
Which two turnovers?
Two or three of the 5 turnovers from last night kept them from winning, which leaves zero or negative one turnovers that led to last week’s loss.
For that matter, if not for Iowa’s first turnover of the game last night, who’s to say how things would have gone, as that was Michigan’s first score.
Robinson’s INT last night was pretty insignificant, given the clock, and especially compared to the muffed punt (which came with a roughing call that would have kept the ball out of Michigan’s hands anyway) and Tate’s INT earlier in the game.
Of course, if they had left Tate in the game, I doubt Michigan could have kept it as close as they did.
Go Hawks!
One of them was the turnover in overtime last week in Lansing. In both cases, while not turning it over didn’t guarantee a win, the turnover resulted in a definite loss.
I’ve got just two words, Gutter Helmet!
