Assorted thoughts:

At the Big House. Michigan played sort of a "meh" game, but Iowa isn't bad (not really good), MM still out, etc. Sometimes these games happen. The D still looked pretty sick, although Tate did more escaping than I like (but mobile QB's will do that). Hart really got going in the 2nd half. Other receivers stepping up, but we really miss MM as a deep threat to balance everything out.

State: Good God! Just when you thought they were dead. My buddy who arrived right before kickoff said they had pulled within 7, and I said that they'd probably pull ahead then lose anyway. Nothing this team does should surprise anyone, yet they still do.

Damn UT/Cal/UT/ND pulling out wins. ND is trying because it is probably technically in our (Michigan's) interest for them to win more, as it increases the chances of an 11-1 Michigan sneaking into the BCS Title Game, however slim (because we're beating OSU obv). But I can't really root for them.

Lot of great games/close breaks, but nothing major apparently.
