• Mud Bowl 2012 (Photos)

    SAE dominated FIJI 30-12 in balmy conditions down on the corner of South University and Washtenaw on Saturday morning.   When they announced the game was moved to November naturally I assumed it would be frigid and it turned out to be one of the nicest mornings for a Mud Bowl in memory. The event once again benefitted Mott Children’s Hospital and no doubt raised quite a bit of money based on the crowd and the sponsors. Thanks to Geoff Voss for providing these, more later.       Holding?  Loosely enforced in the Mud Bowl   Glad they added a scoreboard.  The most common question at previous Mud Bowls: “When do the girls play?”   The second most common question, “What’s the score?”   Flop around in some frigid mud?  No problemo.   But, “Ewww, keep that damp dirty towel away!”     Related: SAE Mudbowl 2010 – Photo Gallery SAE Mud Bowl 2009: Recap & Photos Mud Bowl 2008: SAE Rolls (photos, video)   Follow MVictors on Twitter

  • Dr. Sap’s Decals – Northwestern Style

    Ed.  Steve Sapardanis aka “Dr. Sap” is back with his decals.  This week I added the Editor’s Pick & added a bit to the Fan Award.  Here are the picks from Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6 and Week 7 and Week 8 and Week 9. OFFENSE ROY ROUNDTREE – I’m sure most of you had the same reaction I did with Roundtree’s performance on Saturday – IT’S ABOUT TIME!! We knew he had it in him, it was just a matter of WHEN he would have his breakout game. Not only was he targeted more times against Northwestern than he was all year, he drew THREE pass interference calls – I don’t even know if Desmond had as many in one game. Welcome back, Treezy! DEFENSE KENNY DEMENS – He didn’t play a perfect game but he did make the tackle of his life – TWICE! It’s a play and situation you dream of as a kid growing up playing Pop Warner Football. Demens not only made the big stop to win the game on 4th Down, but he also made the stop the play before on 3rd Down! OUTSTANDING! SPECIAL TEAMS BRENDAN GIBBONS – We’ve called him, “Gibby” and “Lefty” but I think we should just call him “MONEY!” Eleven field goals…
