THAT, must be a touchdown!

Illinois 14, Michigan 17 at halftime. Illinois should have not roughed Emperor Zoltan!

Aww, Mallet is taking Henne’s place. This bout of injuries is hurting Michigan’s chance.

While listening to the game at Illinois, I am watching a replay for the rugby match between South Africa and England. Did I just see somebody being chased by a policeman in the middle of the field while a scrum was being played out?

I want Henne!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

17 – 17. And I want Henne! Coach! We want Henne!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

That was almost a disaster but the Michigan momentum is good.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Mallet threw an interception just under 5 yards from the endzone. Argh!

So close to a TD.

Peeps at Illinois need to stop pulling that face mask. That is a 15-point penalty.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Illinois fumbled at its own 15-yard line. AND MICHIGAN RECOVERS IT!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

TD. =)

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Illinois 17, Michigan 27.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Michigan and Ohio State are the only undefeated teams in the Big Ten. And by looking at the current ranking, I bet Michigan to rise to above #20.

[1413] Of a ranked Michigan

Well, I was wrong.

Michigan is now ranked #24 in the AP.

And after a weekend of upsets, Ohio State is now #1. I hope they will stay at #1 until November 17; on the same day, Michigan will pull the rug under OSU so hard that they’d wish they were never born.

Oh, yeah, which is a greater upset?

[1410] Of Michigan and Purdue

Eid? Eid?

It is Michigan and I am certainly not going to miss it. I bleed maize and blue!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Purdue are pissing in their pants!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Sing it!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu’ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
the champions of the West!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

SACKED! w00t!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Ah, I hate karma. Purdue got a turnover at Michigan’s 5.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

The last few minutes were filled with efficient plays. Too bad it ended with only 3 points for Michigan.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

w0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000! Purdue fumbled on their own 37!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

TOUCHDOWN! And Mike Hart is my God!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Wow. Almost another turnover again. Purdue suck. They were lucky to recover it.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Purdue 7, Michigan 24.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Illinois-Iowa game could be the most boring game today. It is nearing halftime and it is tied at 3. Yes, I kid you not.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Point with an e. Point with an e. Point with an e. Point with an e. Point with an e. Point with an e. Point with an e.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Oh, no. Hart is hurt. Looks serious. Ankle.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Hart is out but Purdue threw an INTERCEPTION! And then, TOUCHDOWN MICHIGAN! 31-7.

This is why Michigan was ranked #5 pre-season. It is halftime now.

Oh, I pity Purdue. Just out from a bad game against Ohio State, they just have to travel to Ann Arbor for a worse game.

Purdue 7 – Michigan 41.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

This is harsh:

Big halftime debate is whether, at 5-2 with a dominating victory, the Wolverines should crack the AP Top 25. My guess is the voters will rank them, although I wouldn’t if I were voting this year, and I’ll be surprised if our football writer, John Heuser, who is a voter puts them in his ballot. Michigan is just too unproven and Purdue – as we predicted prior to the game – is clearly (as usual) a fraud built on scheduling. [LIVE BLOG: Michigan 41 Purdue 7. Jim Carty. October 13 2007]

Hahaha. Maybe not so. Another turnover; Michigan got the ball and another TD is in sight!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Illinois is down. Just like what was said at MGoBlog, “Damn. I wanted to beat a 1-loss Illinois team.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Purdue 7 – Michigan 48.

FYI, Kent 3 – OSU 48.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Well, the only two unbeaten teams in the Big Ten, conference-wise, are Michigan and Ohio State. Illinois does not want to wait for the game against Michigan. Blergh. Michigan could use a ranked Illinois.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Mallet replaces Henne. C’mon Mallet. Just 2 more points to 50!

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Aww. Purdue got another TD and Michigan, with only less than a minute on the clock, won’t break that pretty number 50. So, will Michigan be ranked?

I doubt so but let us find out on Monday.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

The backup team replaces the whole Michigan team and now, it is Purdue 21, Michigan 48. But there are less than 20 seconds anyway.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

Final. I still wish Carr had not replaced the team with backup. I would prefer to keep Purdue from getting two-digit score and boost Meeeeechigan’s shot at the ranking.

[1399] Of is Wisconsin overrated?

I expected Wisconsin to steamroll over Illinois but at halftime, the latter leads the former with the scoreline of 17 to 6. Wisconsin has yet to get a touchdown.

As for Michigan, I think we should have done better but with half way to go, it is 16 for Michigan against 8 for Eastern Michigan. The not-so-good news is this: Henne’s hand suffered a cut. I do not know how serious it is but he seems to be playing okay despite the cut. According to the commentators, blood is visible.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

p/s — okay. At the start of the third quarter, the game in Ann Arbor is getting scary for Michigan.

Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams. Some rights reserved

pp/s — about two weeks ago, Stanford almost gave Oregon a lot of problem. Today, USC got that problem; final score is 23 USC, 24 Stanford. Oh boy. That is going to pull USC way down the chart. I suppose, just like Michigan or any other team that goes a long way, the fairy tale has to end sooner or later.

And oh yeah, Michigan won. Not convincingly but we won nonetheless.
