We Win, We Win

Football 3
Michigan finally got its act together and beat Iowa 30-17. It's fun watching it on TiVo because you can watch other things for a few minutes, and then switch over to the game and only watch the plays - missing all the commercials, commentaries, and sideline stuff. Seems to make it go much faster.

This from Mgoblue.com:

The No. 18 Michigan football team won its Big Ten opener for the 23rd straight season as the Wolverines forced five Iowa turnovers and quickly turned four of them into touchdowns for a 30-17 victory Saturday, Sept. 25, at Michigan Stadium. Braylon Edwards (left) put Michigan ahead for good with a 58-yard TD catch from Chad Henne with 8:28 left in the first quarter following an Iowa fumble. U-M also had two two-play scoring drives after Hawkeye turnovers, and Grant Mason returned an interception 25 yards for a score.

It's also nice that Michigan State beat Indiana 30-20. This is one weekend when everyone did well.

Talked to Laurie and Dylan. They are expecting Hurricane Jeanne sometime before midnight tonight. They have done everything possible to prepare. I think that Dylan believes that everyone lives like that - storm after storm. Laurie is expecting to be without power for an extended period this time - the repairs done after Hurricane Frances were temporary. Now all the repair crews are over on the Gulf trying to clean up after Hurricane Ivan. Florida is obviously not ready for this kind of an assault by Mother Nature. Chip's trip was cancelled, so at least they are all together.

Dick called from Belleville. Belleville beat Fordson last night 14-7. They are having a great season so far. He doesn't think they are that good, they're just lucky.
