I Have a Dream: Top Hopes for This Football Season

I'm really tired of people undermining the Cowboys with, "Yeah, but they haven't won a playoff game in 14 or so years." Really, I just want to hear them come up with a better comeback as much as I want the Cowboys to actually win.

 

1. I hope Michigan beats another ranked opponent.

I really wanted to be greedy here and say that I hope they win the rest of their games, but I'm a realist. I would be totally satisfied with a win over another ranked opponent by the end of the year. The way everyone else in the top 25 is dropping like flies, I think MSU or even Northwestern could come be ranked by the time Michigan gets to them. Fingers crossed.

 

Hopes That Have Been Crushed

5. The Patriots going a season undefeated and without cheating.

Boy, I had a fun offseason...

 

4. John Madden removes his head from Brett Favre's ass.

Nope, it's still firmly wedged up there with no sign of it giving way. You would think he would have to come out for air every once in a while, but he's gotten to be quite talented at broadcasting games from in there.

 

3. USC and OSU kill each other.

I flipped to that game and immediately wanted to throw up. It was really a lose-lose situation for me. It is impossible for both teams to lose, so I went with the next best thing to hope for.

 

2. The Lions at least achieve .500 like they should have last year.

This one's not even close. I would have better luck asking for the Dallas Cowboys' cheerleaders for Christmas from my grandmother than this one coming true.

 

1. Michigan comes out and shocks everyone, winning their first four games in a row and making it into the top 25.

I think this one really speaks for itself.

 

Please, feel free to share what you've wished for this football season. I'll be interested to know.
