9/30/2023 – Michigan 45, Nebraska 7 – 5-0, 2-0 Big Ten This column is about being grateful but first a digression into obscure lexicography, as the readership demands. Despite an Atlantic article that accidentally implies that the noun "fantods" was a neologism sprouted from David Foster Wallace's mother, Merriam Webster asserts that Charles Fredrick Briggs deployed in 1839; indeed, it actually found its way in to Huckleberry Finn: "They was all nice pictures, I reckon, but I didn't somehow seem to take to them, because … they always give me the fantods."

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: The usual on the OL until they pulled Hinton on the third drive of the second half—the second real one since #2 started on the BGSU 2—for Henderso...

Quick programming note: This is going to be short.  Between the late start time and various family commitments this weekend I basically watched the game as it happened and then didn’t give it much thought until Sunday afternoon.  It’s a football game wherein JJ McCarthy played poorly and UM still won by 25.  My desire to read too much into the result is not high.   Worst:  Play Like Sh*t Saturday  

Blake Corum rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries and No. 2 Michigan endured a mistake-prone first half before beating Bowling Green 31-6 Saturday night in Ann Arbor, Mich.J.J. McCart
