Weekend Sports Thread

Most all of the local teams have home games this weekend. Michigan (7-3) hosts Iowa (4-6) in the Big House at Noon. Michigan is favored and you can watch the game on ESPN. Northwestern (7-3) at Michigan State (5-5) could be the game of the day. That’s also a Noon start and the game is on ESPN2. At 1 PM, Miami (OH) (4-6) takes on Central Michigan 4-6) in Mt. Pleasant. Eastern Michigan (1-9) and Western Michigan (4-7) tangle in Kalamazoo at 2 PM. Wake Forest (5-5) has a tough road game at Notre Dame (10-0). The Fighting Irish have a tougher match against USC (7-3) out in Los Angeles next Saturday night. You can catch the Notre Dame/Wake Forest game on WOOD-TV at 3:30 PM. I’ll also add that my alma mater, Wisconsin (7-3) – has a big game against Ohio State (10-0). Wisconsin’s 3 losses have come by only 3 points each and with home field advantage, that could be a close game. That game will be on WOTV4 at 3:30 PM. We also have the high school playoff games on Saturday. Sunday the Detroit Lions (4-5) host the Green Bay Packers (6-3) on FOX at 1 PM. The weather should be pleasant and dry for all of these games with temperatures in the low-mid 50s. Skies should be partly to mostly sunny for most games in the Great Lakes region.
GOOOOOOooo…..G.R. CHRISTIAN EAGLES !!!!!!!
Go Blue! Senior day at the Big House, does DROB get the start? They need this win so that their game next week will be a determining factor on which bowl they go to. With some help, Michigan could get into a BCS bowl. A lot of things will have to happen for that. It starts with a win TODAY. The Spartans will have their hands full. That Spartan Defense is very good but can they contain the potent attack of Northwestern?
The Lions will have to play 60 minutes of their BEST football if they want a chance to beat Green Bay. Doesn’t look good for the Honolulu Blue and Silver but I’m thinking they’ll be up for this game! NO SLOW STARTS LIONS! GO LIONS!
The Lions lost, but boy they sure put up a good fight and if you ask me they played 60 mins. of pure black & blue Detroit football, they got off to somewhat of a slow start, but after that they were driving!
Also, if you ask me it was the officiating that lost the games for both Sparty and the Lions!
I am proud to announce that:Kent State is now the No. 25 Ranked team in the nation In the new Associated Press Poll.
