Recovered Fumbles

It looks as though:

There will be a Super Bowl next February after all.

NFL football fans will be screaming our ears off once again on Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012, as the two top teams face off in the annual Super Bowl.

Four months of contentious litigation and a player lockout are on the verge of proving fruitful, despite fan fears that the season might be curtailed or even canceled. And of course, there was the aggravation and uncertainty football fans had to tolerate.

At least, it would appear so. Nothing’s been carved in stone yet, but the sports news media is reporting that it’s all over but the signing.

I hope so. I have plans for Super Bowl weekend.

A former Michigan quarterback won’t be playing for UH after all.

That would be Tate Forcier, a malcontent Wolverine – a former starting quarterback, no less – who left Michigan, announced a transfer to Miami, cancelled that, and then expressed an interest in playing for the University of Hawaii.

It looks as though that idea is in the trashcan. The University of Hawaii has projected that Forcier will not be able to meet the school’s requirements (whatever they may be) to qualify for the team.

So they stopped recruiting the guy, who was set to visit the campus this coming weekend.

Guess that’s off, huh? No loss. I’m not a UH football fan anyway.
