Something's been missing from Michigan gamedays since the free programs ceased being economically viable: scientific gameday predictions that are not at all preordained by the strictures of a column in which one writer takes a positive tack and the other a negative one… something like Punt-Counterpunt.
PUNT

Every year, the college football season provides us with a small number of quality games for us to consume. We all know and appreciate the 2006 Texas vs. USC Rose Bowls and the Kick Sixes and the #M00N Games. But they can’t all be prestige films. There are a lot of butts in a lot of seats, and it simply isn’t possible to make every game into a Citizen Kane or a Face/Off.
And I don’t think this is a bug. It’s a feature. Sometimes you’re in a mood for an easygoing popcorn action movie, which is why the Big 12 exists. For those of you who appreciate the Saw franchise, I recommend three hours of Rutgers. If you enjoy extended runtime and watching people turn huge piles of money into mediocre results a la Michael Bay, Notre Dame on NBC is probably up your alley.
I still say Notre Dame’s green alternate jerseys look weird
One series, though, ran out of new ideas a long time ago, even though it continues to provide entertainment on a surface level: the Jurassic Park series.
