I guess I'm more bitter and grumpy than most. Maybe a New Year's resolution would be to try to repair those. LOL! 

But I got annoyed at seeing Caleb Williams yukking it up on the Southern Cal sideline during the Holiday Bowl and Jayden Daniels on the LSU sideline and getting an in-game interview during the ReliaQuest Bowl. 

After Bill Frieder took the Arizona State job before the NCAA tourney, Bo Schembechler told him to get lost. He said: "I want Michigan to be coached by a Michigan man. Not an Arizona State man." 

If I were the coaches of those two teams, I'd have said: "I want kids who want to play on this team. You don't want to play in the bowl? That's fine. Then you need to GTFO!"

Has it been the norm to consider yourself "champs" after winning a random bowl and not the championship? Is that something that just started? Like Minnesota is now the Quick Lane Bowl Champs? WTF is that? LSU now the Reliaquest Bowl Champs? WTF IS THAT!

I once saw a Purdue fan wearing a shirt that said "Foster Farms Bowl Champs" and saw them on sale at Walmart. I'm not kidding.

Players not wanting to play but still getting to be there doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either. If I had players not wanting to play, I'd say fine, but you're staying home. Of course, coaches today are probably scared to death that if they tried doing that, the players would get on social media and whine about how mean their coach is and steer potential recruits away from the program, so they let them do what they want.

Michigan has dodged one bullet, but didn't another.

More like trying to shoot yourself in the foot, but having bad aim.

Bama lucky to be down only 3 at the half.

Pathetic performance

[LamarCheeks 18,068]

Why, why, why do you try to catch a punt inside the 5? 

That's just fundamental football!

Cuz some of these punters can backspin a ball like a golfer, the old adage of let anything behind the 10 alone has gone.

Not really. If he catches the ball, UM has it at the 5 or 6. If he lets it go, Alabama may -- may -- down it inside the 5. At that point, what's the difference? 

There's a pretty high probability that if he lets it go, it goes into the end zone.

Heckuva game! 

Penix vs. Michigan for the title???

It's going to be really awkward when Bama wins the title. Even the most angry fans right now realize that's more likely than not.

Whoops

This is gonna be a tough one for ESPN the People's Network to swallow.
