RE: World Series - Lions - UM/MSU Game

World Series: I wasn't rooting for the Sox, but it doesn't bother me too much either that they won. They're generally pretty likeable, though Victorino really bugs me for some reason, and they deserved it. I also don't know that the Tigers would have been able to pull it off with the bullpen injuries and Cabrera's injury and seeming them lose the series to the Cardinals might have been worse that the loss to the Sox.

Lions: I heard on the radio that when the Lions got the ball at the end of the game they only had a 1% chance of winning, yet I wasn't surprised at all when they managed it. I said earlier in the season to my Dad that there was no outcome to a Lions game that could shock me. They're so talented and so inconsistent that anything is possible.

The Game: On paper MSU should win this one. The offense has improved from utterly pathetic to just very poor and the defense is legitimately good. However, they have a tendency to give up the big play, and Gardner is good at that, but you'd also think there's a good chance he throws a pick six. Whatever the outcome, I'm pretty sure the loser is going to feel like they should have come out on top.

That statement is so true. They are always capable of winning and losing games they should never win or lose. They put themselves in those positions constantly, yet have all the weapons and talent to do the impossible. Plus, Dallas has done Detroit some favors in the past. So, I give a little credit to the Dallas Defense...even though it's typically Tony Romo (remember the game AT Dallas in 2011? Two pick-sixes?) who is our MVP.

1%? I hadn't heard that, but a few weeks ago when TEAM BOSTON won two impossible games in the same day (Patriots at home vs Saints and Red Sox beating Detroit when the score was 5-1 with one out in the 8th inning) and the probability was less than 4% for both situations.
