Football has started. Boy, I am expecting big things from Michigan this year. What? They lost last week to Appalachian State? At home? Hey, Coach Carr said we can start over this week and by God, that's the proper attitude. Very reminiscent of the Belichick Occupation in Cleveland when offensive coordinator Steve Crosby said we once won a game because we had better stats.

I am playing Fantasy Football this year. Different, in that we don't have to worry about salary caps or injuries or waiver wires. We are trying a game where once you use a guy for a week, you cannot use him again for the rest of the season. Sponsored by NBC Sports. Very intriguing concept. Beauty is you don't have to spend lots of hours on it.

All individual, no league. Highest ranked person wins.

I'm taking the approach of waiting to use most of the superstars for games where you know they'll clean up.

Still looking for answers to that U of M debacle against Appalachian State on Saturday. Haven't found any yet, but at least it's Emo Week.
