Congratulations to Charles Woodson of the Green Bay Packers on winning the Super Bowl.  Woodson becomes one of only a few players to win a FBS National Championship, Heisman Trophy, and Super Bowl ring.  Although Woodson was injured during the 1st half, he rallied his team with an emotional halftime speech.

See you at the White House Charles! GO BLUE!

Last Saturday I was lucky enough to be invited by a good friend (who happens to be a cameraman for a major news source) to attend the Michigan v. EMU game.  I was there to assist him with his duties to get video of the game & post-game presser.  This entailed helping him lug around some equipment and more importantly, staying the hell out of the way.  The benefit of all this was being able to take in the game from field level, which gives me a new appreciation for the size and talents of the D-1 student athlete.  It was also very cool to see Michael Phelps, Jerry Hanlon, Coach Rod and other Michigan luminaries up close and personal.

The game ended up being somewhat of a blowout, after Eastern kept it to a 7pt deficit at the half.  In the second half, the Michigan defense made the proper adjustments, and shut down Eastern.  The Michigan offense rolled up 380 yards on the ground, to seal the programs 875th win all time with the final score Michigan 45, Eastern Michigan 17.
