Ugh. Michigan dips further but somewhat surprisingly not quite yet at rock bottom, but just barely. At the top, the Buckeyes hold their filthy grips on the top slot with the impressive win over Penn State. Sorry for the delay: Comments from the pollsters: Biggie – What a fantastic fall day to enjoy college football. Gotta a chance to tailgate at the “Bronco Bus” with a bunch of my buddies that attended WMU. Western was the elixir MSU needed after two straight heartbreakers. With Larry Caper sitting out the game, Ashton Leggett came out of nowhere to earn himself some time at RB. AL runs hard; he reminds me of Jehuu Caulcrick. Cousins continues to prove that he is the QB for State. Huge game next week in West Lafayette if Sparty has any intentions of going bowling. Schlimmy – Maybe I’m not going out on a limb to far here but I believe that Brian Kelly will be the next coach at Michigan, whether that is a month from now, a year from now or beyond it seems like a perfect fit, obviously he’s been very successful at every level and has some ties to Michigan (Grand Valley and CMU) In saying that I believe Rich Rod will get a least next year to turn things around but it…

Jug Deal: Win One, Get two Free
The original Little Brown (White?) Jug, from Historic Michigan Football Photos. HT: Caught this nugget on Sam Webb’s show this morning and it really hurts. The winner of Saturday’s battle will keep the Little Brown Jug for not only a year, but until November 5, 2011 (!). Bollocks! Yes, due to the way the schedule shakes out the Wolverines and Gophers don’t meet for another three years. Thankfully that game is in Ann Arbor (kick-off time hasn’t been determined quite yet). That’s our jug! As Lloyd Carr reminded everyone last year, we bought it, they stole it. It’s ours–let’s keep it. Should we fail, it’ll be the longest stint that the jug’s been in Minnesota since a four year stretch from 1960 until Michigan won it back in 1964. Previous to that, Minnesota’s great Bennie Bierman-led Depression era teams held the receptacle from 1934-1942.
