We're not even going to talk about the Michigan State Spartans letdown and 45-7 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Michigan had a good start against Penn State and then had a second half meltdown.
The Buffalo Bills, my new adopted team, look great against the San Diego Chargers today. But the best news of the weekend was the Detroit Red Wings overtime victory over the New York Rangers.
A friend of mine, Greg, who is also know as "Gordo 1," (I am Gordo 2 - and you would have to be a Detroit Red Wings fan to even understand why that's a good nickname) bought a small series of season tickets.
Our first regular season game was last night against the New York Rangers. The Red Wings came out blazing. They had a 2-0 lead after just about 3 minutes. But by the third quarter they went to sleep for awhile and the Rangers went ahead 4-3 with just a few minutes left.
The Wings tied the game up with just three minutes to play and it was into overtime. This is when things got great for the Red Wings, but kind of ugly for me and Greg.
In hockey overtime, the first goal wins. So the puck was dropped and some guy (who had already made 3 trips to the bathroom from overconsumption of beer) decided to come back to his seat just as the overtime period was beginning.
The row in front of us stood up to let the guy back to his seat blocking our view of the ice, and the winning goal. Marian Hossa scored his first goal as a Red Wing to win the game, but what I saw was the back of the guy in front of me letting the drunk back to his seat.
Of course, the drunk saw the goal and was celebrating with his friends the exciting moment. I yelled at him that his rudeness was why the rest of us didn't see it. He was too drunk to hear me. Anyway, we guess it was exciting because the crowd went wild. We did get to watch the replay on the big screen.
I don't understand why people go to a sporting event and then spend half their time there going back and forth to the concession stand and bathrooms while the game is going on.
I feel much better now. We'll have more on the newspaper business later tonight.
