Pistons, U-M, and an update

Two great games on last night

A - Pistons improve to 35-5, match the start of the 1984 Detroit Tigers - who went on to later win the World Series. Win number 35 didnt come easy against a a pesky, young, talented Milwaukee team but the Pistons have the playmakers who come up big when it matters most - Mr. Big Shot and Rip Hamilton

The argument is out there bout which start is more impressive - the Pistons or the Tigers but based on everything I've read and what I know about both starts I'd have to say one isn't clear cut more remarkable than the other. In the NBA travel is more strenous and basketball is a more strenous sport. On the other hand baseball players play every day with very few days off. So I'd say they are about a equal

B - Michigan 72, MSU 67: I was worried with the Wolverines being down 13 in the first half but they showed they got game and should receive some national attention now - finally beating a ranked team after falling earlier this season to UCLA, Indiana and Illinois - granted all were close losses. This time tehy finally got over the hump. A win versus Wisconsin Saturday put U-M in the top 25 for the first time since 1999 i believe

Outside of sports, not too much poppin out here in A-town. Just been working - this week in particular I've done a lot of page design. Had early mornings on Monday, yesterday and today designing pages and have to do it again Saturday. The highlight of this week - covering Lenawee Christian play Emmanuel Baptist in hoops on Friday.

Speaking of Lenawee Christian, I was there this past weekend covering a volleyball tournament and actually got to see some pretty good volleyball with defending Class C state champs Blissfield and perennial Class D power LCS. Both teams are ranked in the top 10 in their respective Class and then Auburn Hills Oakland Christian was also there.
