Attention Michiganders! Mark this day! DeTroit TOUGH!

To all my fellow Michiganders, do you recognize the photo to the left??  It is 100% pure blue Michigan sky, on a 100% pure cloudless Michigan day!  This rare phenomenon is enough to cause comment in the streets... but wait!  There's more!

The Wolverines are 5 - 0!  Hail to the Victors Valiant!!  Yeah!!  Well, okay, it's been a while, but since UM is the winning-est team in college football, after all, it has happened a few times before in history that the sun was shining and the Wolverines were 5 - 0... but wait!!  There's more!!

THE LIONS ARE STILL HUNGRY, 4 - 0 WINS LATER!!!  If you're incredulous, Believe!  Detroit Does!  Just ask the folks at Sports Illustrated, who put the worthy Silver/Blue cats on the front cover of the latest issue!  When is the last time Detroit was 4 - 0?  Well, it wasn't since well before just 3 years ago, in 2008, when Detroit topped the chart as the loosing-est team in history, at 0 -16 for the season.  How incredible is this:  the sky is cloudlessly blue, the Wolverines are undefeated, the Lions are undefeated... but wait!!!  There's more!!!

The Tigers ace Verlander outlasted the Yanks Sabathia to put us one game away from clinching the ALCS !!!!  !!!!  !!!! (Can I emphasize that even more?!!!!)  Oh yes,

  1. The sky is cloudlessly blue.
  2. The Wolverines are undefeated. 
  3. The Lions are undefeated. 
  4. The Tigers are on top!!!!
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THAT HAPPENED???


Michiganders, this is indeed a day so rare that I am not sure it has ever been quite this good in all of history.  I realize that all could change with a wisp of a cloud, the crack of a bat or the pass of a ball.  We need to remember these great moments today so that when they pass, as all things do, we keep going, even after a week of non-stop rain, a year of Rich Rodriquez, a lifetime of Lion droppings, and some long-gone Tigers seasons, as Ernie always said.  We're built DeTroit-TOUGH!
