So Many Questions, So Few Answers

Here are the answers to some questions that you are afraid to ask at the watercooler because your co-workers will think you are too geeky.... College Football Q. Why is Kansas undefeated? A. It's normal for basketball powerhouses such as Kansas to fill their early season schedule with such lightweight teams such as Gardner-Webb and Grand Valley State....oh, you mean the football team is undefeated? [laughs] Seriously, no one will compare the Big 12 North with Murders Row. Kansas has played very good football in a weak division. While having a great year, lets see them win the Big 12 Championship before giving them massive hype. They did beat Texas A&M, but Missouri, then Oklahoma finish the season. With a guaranteed four wild cards in the BCS this year, beating Mizzou will get them a berth. Q. Are you upset that Lloyd Carr is...erm...retiring? A. Hell no. In case you missed yesterday's rumor of Carr announcing his retirement after Saturday's game against THE Ohio State University, I say "Please do not let the door hit you on the way out." This Michigan is tired of teams that are unprepared and flat when it matters most like App State and certain Rose Bowls, and that choke a couple years ago at the Alamo Bowl. Perhaps Carr would be interested in rebuilding Notre Dame. (I'm not Bill Simmons, and I'm not bitter.) Q. Say that you are Kirk Herbstreit and that you read this blog, is there one piece of game preparation that you can use for this week's OSU-Michigan game at Noon (ET) on Saturday on ABC? A. Please recognize RB Mike Hart. The Michigan star has played his career with incredible class and heart. I have no idea if his game or health will translate into being a star on Sunday, but his failure to ever fumble the football along with his desire will make him a long-term star as a coach on the college level at some part. He comes across as a leader and after the start of this season, the Wolverines certainly need need it.
