E-Claire's Kollege Kegger

Crack open a beer...Because college football season is officially underway! So each week, I will (attempt) to recap the best - and the worst - games for you in quick and easy fashion...Much like your girlfriend at a frat party...Zing!

Since this will be the final Kegger on TMS, I've decided to do something special by bringing back the haikus. I know what you're thinking..."E-Claire! You've done haikus before - this isn't special...This is bullshit!" But the "special" part is that in each haiku, I've included a very subtle farewell message to TMS. Exciting, right? Whatever. Onto the games...

Premium games on tap...

Goodbye, TMS

Purdue def. Michigan 48-42:
Purdue won this one

Michigan is bad
(I know I'm doing the whole subtle goodbye thing, but I had to say something about Michigan. They're not gonna go to a bowl game for the first time in 33 years...And this is their first losing season since the late 60's...Damn.)

Godspeed, TMS
