more radio

Stoney & Wojo had their good moments - but got to be very predictable. I really enjoyed Sean Baligian's show. He was a big MSU fan but didn't let it come through like Caputo or Valenti. The show was generally more about sports than Hollywood starlets or body excretions etc.

Radio

97.1 is nothing special. Unless it is football season, Karsch and Anderson get old fast. And Valenti and Foster are just fratboys. The thing I hate most in sports talk radio is the announcer who is a MAN and comments on things not being MANLY enough. That is V and F in a nutshell.

I miss Stoney and Wojo.

Thanks Jim

Thanks you for the kind words, and I'd like to thank all the readers for suggesting Jim finally add me as a contributor.
My first post will be about being unable to listen to local sports talk from 10-3. Unfortunately here at work I can't pick up 97.1/1270, so I'm stuck listening to Colin Cowherd form 10-2 and one hour of Tirico and Van Pelt. (If any of our faithful readers would like to chip in and get me speakers for my computer, that would be great.)
I disagree with Cowherd about 99% of the time. He prefers the NBA to college basketball, he thinks college athletes should be paid, he likes that there are dynasties in the NFL/NBA/MLB etc. Do people listen to him just to disagree?

Welcome, Mike

My many readers are going to be pleased to know that Mike will now be making entries to the blog.

punting

j:

M led the conference in punting this year. For both average and total yards. M punted for 290.8 yards per game. PSU had the second highest average and they punted for 131.9 yards/game.

M punted 6.9 times per game.

M had 2.5 turnovers/game. That is 9.4 possessions per game of nothingness. M missed .42 FG per game. That's 12.32 possessions per game with no scoring. That doesn't count loss of downs.


m:

9.4 + .42 = 9.82 not 12.32 :-)

Shavodrick Beaver will take care of all that - For Tulsa

j:
Right. I added twice.

9.82 possessions. That is still CRAZY,

I predicted Sheridan will either start or at least play in at least one game during a very important time. I was put down by a lot of people on the chat where I said that. But it was because things like this happen to Rich Rodriguez. He has been counting on both Frosh recruits to come in and be good enough to play. Now one changes his mind. All it is going to take is for the other to get hurt, or be ineligible, and Sheridan is backup to a not good QB who has concussions.

We'll see what happens from here, but I am not budging from my 6-6 prediction. If anything, it will go down to 5-7, but I'll wait on that one until spring practice.

m:
I've never really followed recruiting before (stupid mgoblog) but it seems like this many verbals decommitting is unusual

j:
I really don't know. I don't even follow it now, but it is impossible not to remember a name like Beaver. And MGoBlog knocks us over the head with it.

Mike

Mike wanted to see my blog. This is a special message for him.
