What's that, you say? There are still bowls to be bowled? Big 12 and SEC conference championships to be determined?
True enough. This season being what it is, I'm not going to take much satisfaction in whatever Michigan does in its bowl game. I'll pull for them, yes, but part of the problem with a season crescendo against Ohio State is that everything afterward feels downhill. If Penn State loses against Sparty and Michigan gets the BCS bid, I'll feel like we've robbed Paterno; if we're in Ybor City or Orlando, it will just feel like a waste.
And Texas aside, the Big 12 and SEC haven't been interesting enough this year to justify much non-conference excitement. This Saturday will be the annual, bittersweet conclusion.
I think the September/October trip to Europe wreaked havoc on my biological college-football rhythms. Was the trip worth it? Let's just say that I'll plan future travels for a different part of the calendar.
MGoBlog has some posts to get you psyched for Saturday's game. Elsewhere, I recently discovered Warren St. John's college football blog, which is every bit as smart and entertaining as his book. Chronicling fan insanity and a little on-the-field substance, it treats us to photos like this:

An open letter...
Dear Lloyd,
I know some people were giving you a lot of grief for your inspired keep-kicking-it-to-Ginn-until-he-breaks-one strategy last year, but there are a lot of us who think that was a fantastic plan and hope you do it again.
Of course, those of us who think that, well, let's just say we're also fond of "Hang on Sloopy" and forming words out of large marching bands...
But, by all means, try it again. This time I'm sure it will work!
Please send Lloyd some crunk juice with your letter.
Dunno...alcohol and Michigan coaches usually aren't a good combination.
jesus, that's gross.
