Sadly, the Wolverines are performing about as I predicted after the Notre Dame game. I expect the Spartans to mop up the field with them next week.
This will be a long season.

Speaking of Big Ten football, David “Pretty-in-Pink” Burge writes about locker-room psyops in Iowa City. Even without these kinds of evil tricks, though, I expect the Hawkeyes to beat Michigan next month. In fact, looking at the Wolverine schedule, I could easily see them losing six games this season.
Some people are making too big a deal of the fact that Rita has dropped from a Cat 5 to a Cat 4. It’s still going to be very bad, even assuming it doesn’t restrengthen.

Rita was a late bloomer (staying a tropical storm long after predictions of becoming a hurricane Real Soon Now), but once she got into the Florida straights and out into the Gulf, she heated up in a hurry. She’s now a Cat 5, with winds in excess of 165 mph. Look out, Houston.

Here are a couple pictures of the storm from my front yard, over neighbors’ homes across the street.
This one is looking south-southeast, out over the Atlantic. Those angry looking clouds are headed my way. The carousel is spinning from left (east) to right, with these clouds below heading away from me, to the west.
A few minutes after I took these, the heavens opened up.
New Orleans is now a potential (but still unlikely) landfall, but Rita may be headed for Houston. It’s right in the cross hairs at the NOAA site. This can’t be good for oil futures, either.
