Leaving on a Jet Plane

So I'm heading out of town for a few days and won't be posting.  I'm sure Tbone will hold down the fort well while I'm gone.

If for some reason Tbone lets you down and you need your football fix, I've got some reading for you to do.

Smart Football is a blog you should be reading regularly.  It's not as much opinion about football as it is a detailed breakdown of X's and O's, schemes and plays.  It's not strictly college football as it includes a lot of NFL.  Beware, you can lose many hours increasing your knowledge.   When reading Smart Football time can move at video game pace, which is at least 4x faster than real time.  I will vouch for Chris (the author) as really knowing his stuff.  He also really loves the aerial spread offenses, so you'll see a lot of focus on those plays.

Some big games in the B1G this week.  At 8-2, Michigan's game against Nebraska sort of feels like a freeroll.  Even if Michigan loses, a win over Ohio State will still cap off an excellent first season for coach Hoke and the Wolverines.  It's nice that this week's game against Nebraska is the most difficult game Michigan has remaining.  I'll have a lot more on the Nebraska game later this week, but it's nice to finally be able to say firmly that this is a much improved Michigan team over the past seasons and they are likely to be favored in both of the last two games.
