Well, friends, we have once again reached the end of our stupid journey together. Michigan football plays on, as do the titular Opponents, but per tradition there is no Thanksgiving Opponent Watch, so this week marks the end of the regular season. If the winds are kind and the Gods are merciful, we may come together in a couple of weeks. If not, take care of yourselves. As always, you can find me at @pontifex on Twitter until Twitter dies in a few weeks, after which you can just open your doors and shout my name loudly in the general direction of Nashville. About Last Week It’s sometimes eas...

About Last Week The Road Ahead Michigan State (3-4, 1-3 B1G) Last week: Bye Recap: No recap. Bye This team is as frightening as: It’s your first night at Fight Club. And because it is your first night at Fight Club, you HAVE to fight. When you arrive, you’re told that you are fighting Manfred. And they say it with a tone of fear and reverence. There are whispered tales from those around you of the things Manfred has done in the past, so you spend the entire evening both psyching yourself up and psyching yourself out. And then the time for your fight comes, and Manfred emerges from the crow...

The athletic competitions in question take place on the field turf in the middle of the...

About Last Week Poor damn Connor Bazelak. The Road Ahead Penn State (5-0, 2-0 B1G) Last week: Bye Recap: No recap. Bye. So now, we just wander into this game with no real sense of who Penn State is. On the bright side, Penn State blogs are almost certainly saying the same exact thing about Michigan right now. This team is as frightening as: A wet paint sign. Maybe the sign means “this bench is covered in wet paint.” But it could also mean, “this bench was covered in wet paint twelve hours ago.” Of course, the solution is obvious: just don’t touch the bench, right? But you HAVE to tou...

About Last Week Not all All Americans are built the same. [h/t Mr. Elbel] The Road Ahead Indiana (3-2, 1-1 B1G) Last week: Lost at Nebraska, 35-21 Recap: So, a quick peek behind the curtain here at Opponent Watch Headquarters and Bait Shop. I have a template I start from, and when I write this dumb word pile every week, the first thing I typically do is to go down the list and fill in the current team records, last week’s result, and this week’s opponents. This week, when I scrolled back up to start writing, I saw “Indiana (3-2, 1-1 B1G)” and I immediately clicked on it to correct it. ...
