Michigan Monday: Super Bowl Review

The Cincinnati Bengals ran 2 plays in the Super Bowl for Chris Evans, one was incomplete the second one got a first down on a key 3rd down.   They of course lost the game, but I don't even know Chris could have imagined this a couple years ago.  Well done!   Michigan Man and now Super Bowl Champion David Long Jr. had 4 tackles (3 solo).   Congratulations David! 


As for the game, I enjoyed it was close, but I thought it was a bit of a dis-jointed.   The Rams lost a star WR early and Cincy's offensive line was offensive to Bengals fans.   I also hated that the winning TD drive had two penalties inside the 10-yard line.  How does the Bengals let Cooper Kupp beat them, when everyone and their brother knew, the ball was going to him?  

-Matt Stafford deserved this win as a long-time suffering Lions QB.  
-Can't believe Aaron Donald is even contemplating retirement.
-Did OBJ blow out his ACL?
-The Bengals should spend every draft pick on the offensive line.   
-Bengals should never run an important play to Perine. 
-Eli Apple should never line up against Kupp, mostly with the Super Bowl on the line.
-Loved the old school halftime show

Now on to the USFL and we will see how many weeks that league lasts.  

  • RIP to long time Michigan radio play by play man Frank Beckman.  
  • Michigan Basketball lost a tough one to Ohio State on Saturday night.  This team continues to ride a roller-coaster this season. 
  • Tyrone Wheatley is leaving Morgan State as their head coach for the RB's role with the Broncos.  Wheat only won 5 games at Morgan State in 2 years.

Glad to see Stafford get a super bowl ring. Condolences to the Beckman family. I always liked him as a Play by play announcer...
