BEEP...Please leave a message for CHARLIE WEIS at the tone

You remember the Notre Dame head football coach Charlie 'Front Butt'® Weis don't you? You know, the guy who keeps losing at home to MSU, has now found a way to lose to Navy, and now thinks he's a BIG TALKER about Michigan. Let's refresh your memory of something old 'Front Butt'® said earlier this year:

"Then we'll listen to Michigan have all their excuses as they come running in, saying how they have a new coaching staff and all those changes, to hell with Michigan."

After Charlie 'Front Butt' Weis' comments yesterday from the depths of South Bend we realized it's never too early to plan those tailgate parties. Michigan is facing a little bit of an uphill climb this year. You can see they dropped Eastern Michigan after last year's 33-22 game ;)

Dreadful night for local college basketball

First off, EMU lost at Notre Dame 76-65. It was simply a skill game folks, EMU didn't turn the ball over any more than Notre Dame, they didn't get swept away on the boards actually outrebounding the Irish on the offensive glass. It was simply the skill of the Notre Dame shooters to make their shots, and some were three balls. The Ypsilanti 5 didn't play a bad game, in fact Sophomore Justin Dobbins had another monster game with 26 points and has really elevated his play. EMU could have done a better job from the free throw line but the extra 3-4 makes it would take to make that number look respectable wouldn't have changed the game.

EMU (3-4) is home Tuesday at the ACC for a date with Illinois State.

That sound you hear in Ann Arbor is Tommy Amaker laughing his fool head off. Michigan really hit a sour note tonight in Boston against Hah-vaaad. The Wolverines couldn't have hit water if they'd fallen out of a boat on 20 of 62 shooting (for those scoring at home that's a cool 32.3% clip). The Crimson scored the final ELEVEN points of the game and beat Michigan 62-51. No good way to spin this game, P-U.

Don't fret, the next game is an easy one. Next Saturday at some dump called Cameron Indoor Arena in some whistle stop town called Durham in North Carolina. Apparently this squad is good as they have a #7 next to their name.

The Wolverines are 3-5

EMU hoops show lands in South Bend tonight

That's right Ypsilanti, YOUR Eastern Michigan basketball team travels to the barren wasteland that is South Bend, Indiana tonight for a 7pm tip off with Notre Dame. The Irish are 4-2 while EMU is 3-3. This would be a GREAT opportunity for the team to really show us what they have, a big name team, a road game and a huge opportunity to make statement and for a week or so put EMU basketball back on the map.

Michigan football game day

Look Michigan fans, it can ALWAYS get worse. Just look across the field at Charlie "Front Butt"® Weis, He has far less than you have. His is a program on the rocks while Michigan is suffering a down season. Michigan has HOPE next year, Notre Dame not so much.

Look, sure both teams are playing kiddie QB's and are both 0-2 and yeah the shine is off the apple that is this game but hey, it's Michigan, it's Notre Dame and it'll be fun.
