Michigan came out on the winning side today against Miami (Ohio), but once again the game was U-G-L-Y. The offense started off hot with Threet running the option surprisingly well. But after 3 nice drives the offense went into the tank again. Threet is supposed to be the classic drop back passer on the team, but anything more than 10 yards is beyond his grasp. He missed wide open receivers by a wide margin at least 3 times. Sheridan replaced him to start the 2nd half and led the Wolverines on a long TD drive to make the final score 16-6. Miami played them tough and has nothing to be ashamed of. Michigan's D was mostly very good throughout the game. Next week comes the big one against the hated Fighting Irish. I am not predicting good things for that one.
Meanwhile, the Rams kick off their season tomorrow and will be trying to wash away the stench of the 2007 season. I look for them to be more competitive this year, but the early schedule is a killer. If they can win 2 of their first 5 games they will actually be in good shape. I don't see it going their way tomorrow in Philly, however. I'll say 27-13 Eagles over the Rams. I see the Rams finishing with 6 or 7 wins this season. That will not be enough to save coach Scott Linehan's job, unless they are very competitive in their losses. We'll see.

Congrats to your Wolverines. I hope the Vols fair as well next weekend. It looks like you and I will be in the same boat as far as NFL teams go. I don't think the Titans are going to be very good this year either.
