Are they who we thought they were?

It pains me to write this as I’ve just watched my beloved Tigers go down 2-0 to the Giants. My prediction is already wrong and I couldn’t care less about that. I want nothing more than for the Tigers to win it for the team, city, fans and Mr I. There were two main reasons…

Fall Classic Preview

As November nears, it can only mean one thing: it’s time for the World Series to begin! For Tigers fans, it has been a long 5 days of waiting (and for some since Prince was announced as a Tiger and everyone got excited of what could happen this season). Although the road wasn’t always easy,…

Same Song, Third Verse

As I sat at home on Saturday and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game, I felt like I had seen this play out before. In the two previous B1G losses to be exact. MSU has now lost 3 conference games by a total of 6 points and all of them have the same story lines: missed…

Sweep Dreams

Let’s be totally honest. Before the series started, no one saw this being a Tigers sweep. The Yankees had not been swept in a 7 game series in 32 years and the Tigers had too many holes to completely dominate – or so we thought. Were fans confident that they could beat the Yankees in…

Have we reverted to Same Old Spartans?

As Rivalry week begins, I starting to wonder if the only way the Spartans avoid a loss on Saturday is if the bus gets lost on the way to Ann Arbor. I’m not sure I’ve even been so disgusted with my alma mater in my lifetime. Yes, as a lifelong fan, I’ve endured some ugly…

You Still Can’t Script October

As the MLB Division Series’ wrapped up last night, I was really happy to have seen so much exciting baseball in the first round. For the first time ever, all the match-ups went to 5 games…doesn’t get better than being winner take all. While some may say that the baseball season is too long, I…

It’s Our Money and We’ll Boo If We Want To

I know that focus has turned from last week’s loss to preparing for Indiana in 2 days, but I had to take some time to gain perspective before writing this post. I spent Saturday night and most of Sunday so angry that I couldn’t even fathom writing something appropriate for my blog. Then, I had…

Ryder Cup Practice Experience

On September 25th, we had the opportunity to attend practice for the Ryder Cup. Chicagoland has been filled with excitement for the event, which was evident when we were among 30,000 spectators there for the first day of practice. Before I get to my experience, here’s a couple things about me. I’m not a golfer…
