Making the best of a bad situation...

Okay... so I've got the flu. Not just the flu, but a particularly nasty strain of the Martian Death Flu. This is the second day in a row that I've taken off of work.

Just to put that in perspective, I had called in sick once... ever... before this week. Like... going back to my part time job in high school. So it's safe to say that I'm feeling like hammered shit right now.

However, I've made the best possible use of my time; watching old OSU football games. Specifically, the Michigan games from 2004, 2002 and 1997.

Damn... you forget how classic those games were (especially 2002 and 1997). Even this year, Michigan was really in position to win it with under 10 minutes to go before Braylon Edwards dropped that 4th-and-1 pass.

One interesting note; Gary Danielson made essentially the same comment about Edwards in the 2002 and 2004 games. In both cases, it boiled down to, "the knock on Edwards has always been that he makes the tough catch and drops the easy one." He did the same damn thing in both games, dropping a key pass late that would have given Michigan a shot to win.

And he thinks he's the best receiver in Michigan history? Sorry, sunshine... but you can't carry Anthony Carter's jock.

I'm about to pop in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. OSU is a huge underdog, but I've got a good feeling about this one...
