The National Weather Service was right. We were pretty much pounded by snow last night. Oh, sure, my dad, who grew up in Buffalo, would say that the 8 inches or so of snow we got is nothing compared to the kind of snow they see all the time in Buffalo. And he's right, technically, but then, he lives in Florida now, so I'm not sure he gets to be all superior about how we're "too wussy" about snow here in Michigan.
Anyway, this will end up being the perfect day to stay bundled up inside, watching my beloved Michigan Wolverines play in the Capital One Bowl against the University of Florida Geckos. Today's game marks the final game coached by Lloyd Carr, who is retiring as Michigan's head coach. Now, I've made no secret that I was hoping that Lloyd would move on, but I still think he did do a lot of good for the program, and I hope he can go out with a win. The Geckos, though, are likely to put up a hell of a fight, what with their superstar Heisman-Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow. Given our lackluster season, the Geckos' power, and the fact that the entire coaching staff was canned by the new head coach, Rich Rodriguez, I'm thinking it will be an uphill battle. Still, I'm hoping for a win. Go Blue!
