Mud Bowl 2011? It’s A Go
From sources deep inside the Sigma Alpha Epsilon camp, it’s confirmed that Mud Bowl is on for 2011. Kick-off is slated for 9AM on October 29, Homecoming weekend. Michigan will face Purdue at the Big House at noon. Many wondered if the traditional slop fest would happen given SAE’s campus suspension, but it’s a go and it will benefit C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital once again this year. Last year the game raised $38,000 for Mott, and sights are set on $40,000 in 2011.

This Week Michigan Football History – Bo Won’t Get Spoilermakered – November 13, 1971
Here’s the next entry in ‘This Week in Michigan Football History’ to be played Saturday on WTKA 1050AM’s Key Bank Countdown to Kick-off pregame show before tomorrow’s battle against the Purdue. This time we look back to 1971, as third year coach was crushing opponents on both sides of the ball. Leading up to this game Michigan scored 124 points in the previous two games, and was holding teams to 5.1 points per game. Gary Danielson and Purdue were up next, and it wouldn’t be easy for Bo’s Wolverines: [display_podcast] . [Ed. One note: The final score of the game was of course 20-17 (not 23-30 as mentioned in the recording. Sorry about that.] The sponsor of This Week…is Wolverine Beer so here’s where you can find it, or check out the Beer Wench’s Blog. I’m still waiting to have my first Wolverine beer, perhaps some day soon. You can hear all of the This Week… clips here.

Official Official Statements after the game
The U-M Media Relations department circulated this after the game. I’m not publishing it because I have some beef with the calls or think they had a major impact on the game. I haven’t seen the replay of the lateral yet but assume they made the correct call, and it looked like Michigan got a huge break on the fumbled punt that was negated by the bad interference call. I’m not sure who’s asking the questions– Following are the quotes from Todd Geerlings, the Referee from today’s Michigan-Purdue Game. What was the interpretation on the fourth down review with the forward lateral? What was it that the replay official saw? TODD GEERLINGS: “The replay official saw that the ball, when it left his hand to the point where it touched the receiver’s hand, was clearly forward from the 13 to the 12 yard line. That’s why we had an illegal forward pass from the spot of that pass.” Who called for the review? GEERLINGS: “The booth called for the review and I announced that on the field prior to. The coaches on the field were trying to but Purdue did not have a challenge left so they couldn’t have. They were trying to but just as I got the buzz on the pager, I just turned to Purdue and said…
