Oh boy a lot has happened with the Lions since we have talked football. Millen has been fired, Kitna is gone, and Roy Williams was traded. All good moves in my opinion.
First of all Millen had to go, the experiment has ended. He had 8 years to right the ship and all he did was sink it. I still don't understand why Ford stuck with him so long but thank goodness he is gone.
Kitna is as good as gone too. He was actually put on injured reserve but I think the real message was "Its been nice knowing you but...." I think Kitna quit on the team in the first couple of games and the players knew it. I really don't think the Lions had any choice.
The Roy Williams trade was a steal. They sent Roy and a number seven pick to Dallas for a No. 1, No. 3, and a No. 6. Dallas got raped. Roy's contract was going to expire at the end of the year and he was free to sign with anybody as a free agent. I would have traded him for just the number one pick but let's give the Lions credit here they finally did something right. It was a good trade for Williams too because Texas is home for him so he should be happy. I don't have a problem with Roy but the Lions need draft picks right now not receivers. Now we just need somebody with the Lions that knows how to use these draft picks. Good luck with that one eh?
The Lions are at the Houston Texans this week and the Texans have been struggling just as much as the Lions. The Texans did, however, win their first game last week so they are ahead of the Lions in the respect. My predictions is if the Lions play with the same intensity as last week they will finally get their first win of the season. I think they will because they had a game taken from them last week and they are going to play like it's us against the world. I don't expect the offense to score a lot of points but I think the defense may have found their identity last week and keep the Lions in the game. I think this will be the Lions 17 Texans 13.
Michigan is favored by 23 points today against Penn State. Wait......what did you say? Penn State is favored by 23 points? Holy cow what has happened? Has the world been turned upside down? You say Michigan lost to a MAC team last week? UUUUUUUHHHHHGGGGGGG......what in the world is going on? Doesn't everyone know PSU hasn't beat Mich for the last 9 years? Doesn't everyone know PSU coach is 80 something years old and the team plays like that at times? My my how times have changed at least for this year. PSU 35 Mich 3. Michigan doesn't have an offense and without an offense against Penn State they will have a long day.
Michigan State plays Ohio State today. Let's not discount MSU's chances today because OSU has not scored an offensive touchdown for a couple of weeks. If MSU stays with its game plan and pounds the football at OSU they have a chance. This is the week Ringer can propel himself into the Heisman trophy race. OSU Suckeyes 24 MSU 17.
Notre Dame has a bye week this week which is probably good since they lost last week. Their schedule is about to get a little tougher to finish up so they can probably use the extra time to heal up and get ready.
That's it for this week, good luck to all your favorite football teams this weekend.

I'm about to head to Kelly/Shorts for the Central/Western game.
Any predictions?
What?! I must be living under a mound of paper. How did all that news about the Lions get past me?
I'll take CMU because of LeFevour the quarterback and they are at home.
You have your head buried to deep in Survivor to notice.
i listened to kitna this week on mitch albom's show. he isn't a happy camper. i predict we will never see him again. i am picking houston to win.
this is penn state's year. michigan doesn't have a chance. am looking forward to see this game.
ohio state vs mich state. i dislike both schools so there will be no bias in my pick. i am going out on a limb and picking state. this could be the year they turn the program around.
no wonder we couldn't find nd on the tv schedule. good, i won't have to worry about them this week.
You're picking state eh? Which one? Or are you just saying state to be safe.
And who cares about Kitna the Lions should never signed him in the first place. He has been a loser with every team he ever played for.
LeFevour is injured, Brunner is the QB for the rest of the year, because he's almost as good, and they don't want to jeopardize LeFevour's senior season.
Brunner was electric though.
CMU rolls:
38-28
Once my old mind remembered I watched the last 5 minutes of the game on ESPN360.
The Mich game hurt. They actually looked good in the first half and then the same ole same ole in the second half. I don't know why he insist on putting Sheridan in I think they would be better off trying Fagen or anybody else.
i meant michigan state but man did they get spanked. i didn't think they would get beat that bad.
michigan had me worried for awhile but penn state pulled through. it's going to be a long season for mi.
