Tech beat Michigan tonight in Houghton, the Wolverines first visit to the Copper Country in 30 years.
As a MTU alum, any real amount of success makes me very happy (the team is ranked for the first time in awhile).
Just need to make the NCAA's this year.
I hope we can manage to steal Pearson back from you guys once Red retires. The dude is getting it done up there.
Also, I miss his temper
The Dirk Bomb is solid, not spectacular. He uses his speed well in the field. Maybe he'll be more of a base stealer in Tranna; Jim Leyland's teams were not muchfor small ball. Not sure how effective he'llbe after a year on the shelf. At his best he can be effective; i saw him go yard, steal a base and drop a perfect bunt in a game. Definitely nota guy you want batting in a clutch situation, though.
Also gobs of injury problems. In the end, that had to play a part in the Tigers letting him go. Just couldn't count on him staying healthy for a full season.
Wow unreal pick by Grimes. I'm not even upset with Stafford there.
Sparty's D got burned all night long, and Meyer got his revenge is a big way.
And while State did put up 37, I thought the offense was out of sync too, making uncharacteristic drops, Cook wasn't accurate, and too many penalties.
Lions winning games they normally lose. Keep it up!
Lions still leave a lot of points on the field when they control the play.
That game felt like they should've dominated. Grimes was the unsung hero of the game...really kept Calvin under control but he still went for 100+ and a score.
The thing that makes this team appealing is their resiliency and growing confidence. This looks like a completely different team from last year. The Packers might eventually catch them for the division but I think this is a playoff team.
Monster game next week against Arizona (sans Palmer)...for first place in the NFC?!?!
