Michigan gets its 900th win off of MSU

 Here's what was awesome about Michigan's 900th win:

• It broke MSU's five-game winning streak versus Michigan. 
• It was Michigan's 900th win. Michigan is the winningest program in NCAA history.
• It was off of a field goal in the last five seconds of the game.

 I was sure Brendan Gibbons would miss his 38-yard field goal and lose the game but I was wrong. Good. 

Logic has nothing to do with it

It's a waste of time to question the logic of shows like The Walking Dead. All these shows operate in universes that aren't realistic. The idea of corpses rising up, slowly wandering the earth and crippling human civilization is more than illogical, it's ridiculous.

And yet people still nitpick: How could our heroes survive an explosion that blew up the CDC? The detonation would have suffocated everyone nearby. Or wouldn't zombies die out from lack of sustenance? If they're wandering around starving for lack of human flesh their muscles would atrophy.

This is all pointless. When you watch any t.v. show you surrender yourself to a world where zombies can walk around or a Marine-turned-secret-terrorist is the frontrunner for becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee. It's not realistic but that's not why we watch.

October 19th is a state of mind

Community was supposed to premiere last night but...it didn't. And, in a gesture of how much Sony values the show, a new date hasn't been set yet. It's still just sitting there.

The White Sox are cheap because they suck

The White Sox tickets are going to be cheaper in 2013 which would be cool if the Sox were awesome and in the playoffs. But they're not. They didn't make the playoffs. So cheaper tickets means that the club thinks a lot of people will only go to White Sox games if tickets are cheaper which is true...

And sad.

James Bond by the numbers

The Economist did a study on James Bond:

• Pierce Brosnan has the most kills. 
• Daniel Craig has drunk the most martinis.
• George Lazenby has had the most sex.

No I'm not happy Detroit won the ALCS

I know I'm supposed to be happy the Yankees didn't win the ALCS for yet another year but since it's the Yankees all I can say is kiss my ass.

The Walking Dead dominates

The first season of The Walking Dead was excellent and a lot of people watched:

“The Walking Dead,” AMC’s hugely popular drama, became the biggest hit of the fall television season on Sunday night, with the premiere of its third season posting ratings that surpassed every other nonsports program on television in most viewing categories.

The show attracted 10.9 million total viewers for its 9 p.m. initial broadcast: that beat every entertainment show on every broadcast network on Sunday night, topped only by National Football League play on NBC – and possibly “60 Minutes” on CBS. (The overnight figures for the 7 p.m. hour on CBS included both some N.F.L. games and “60 Minutes.”)

More significantly, “Dead” pulled in 7.3 million viewers ages 18 to 49, the category advertisers most prefer. Not only did that beat just about everything else on Sunday, except football, it beat everything else in nonsports programming that has been on television this fall. That means it ranks above such hits as “Modern Family” on ABC (seven million), “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS (6.3 million) and “The Voice” on NBC (6.1 million.)
