What are your predictions for the National Championship game between Georgia and Alabama?Alabama had seven players enter the NCAA's transfer portal a day after the team's loss in the College Football Playoff National Championship, including reserve tight end Jahleel Billingsley.The group of Alabama players appeared in the portal late Tuesday afternoon. Billingsley, a junior from Chicago, had 35 receptions for 543 yards and six touchdowns the past two seasons. He was a preseason All-SEC selection but played behind Cameron Latu at the end of the season. After recording a total of nine receptions for 152 yards and a touchdown in wins over Southern Miss and Florida, Billingsley had seven receptions the rest of the season.1.

O'Brien is set to interview this week with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who moved on from Urban Meyer following a 2-11 start during his first campaign.Insider reports indicate the Las Vegas Raiders are looking for a big fish to fill the void left by Jon Gruden, who resigned earlier this season after disparaging remarks came to light.

Michigan football's Aidan Hutchinson misses out on Heisman TrophyThe momentum behind his candidacy stopped Saturday, when Hutchinson and the rest of the nation learned Alabama quarterback Bryce Young was the recipient of college football's greatest individual prize. The Michigan standout, meanwhile, finished a distant second in the final balloting. Still, the outcome couldn't dim a dazzling year for Hutchinson, who set a single-season school record with 14 sacks, led the Wolverines to their first College Football Playoff berth and began to stock his trophy case. Just in the last two weeks, Hutchinson was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and won the Rotary Lombardi Award, given to the nation's best lineman or linebacker.After all, Hutchinson's trajectory was unclear heading into the Sept. 4 opener against Western Michigan. The potential was certainly there, and the NFL was intrigued enough by his natural ability that one prominent scouting service gave him a preliminary first-round grade. The second-generation Wolverine, whose father was an All-American, struggled to distinguish himself on the field for one reason or another. As his college career progressed, he was often overshadowed by the Wolverines' other top pass rushers, whether it was Chase Winovich, Josh Uche or Kwity Paye.Two weeks later, many began to agree with Gattis' opinion after watching Hutchinson terrorize Ohio State and lead Michigan to its first victory over the Buckeyes since 2011. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound dynamo generated a whopping 15 pressures and sacked C.J. Stroud three times in the 42-27 win.“There have been some awfully good players that have played for Michigan that haven't done what Aidan Hutchinson has done,” Harbaugh said.That was true. Hutchinson established a new single-season school record for sacks in the win over Ohio State. He then became Michigan's first Big Ten championship game MVP after the Wolverines secured their first conference title since 2004 in a 42-3 rout of Iowa last Saturday.How Michigan ended up building The Big House-Stuart Varney takes a closer look into how the University of Michigan built the largest football stadium on ‘American Built'.Michigan Stadium, nicknamed "The Big House,is the football stadium for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is the largest stadium in the United States and Western Hemisphere, outside of Asia, the third largest stadium in the world, and the 34th largest sports venue.Its official capacity is 107,601,but has hosted crowds in excess of 115,000.Michigan Stadium was built in 1927 at a cost of $950,000 (equivalent to $11.4 million in 2019 and had an original capacity of 72,000. Prior to the stadium's construction, the Wolverines played football at Ferry Field. Every home game since November 8, 1975 has drawn a crowd in excess of 100,000, an active streak of more than 300 contests. On September 7, 2013, the game between Michigan and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish attracted a crowd of 115,109, a record attendance for a college football game since 1948, and an NCAA single-game attendance record at the time, overtaking the previous record of 114,804 set two years previously for the same matchuphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mo3GiXBbMYPrior to playing at Michigan Stadium, Michigan played its games at Ferry Field, which at its peak could seat 40,000 people. Fielding Yost recognized the need for a larger stadium after original expansions to Ferry Field proved to be too small, and persuaded the regents to build a permanent stadium in 1926. Fashioned after the Yale Bowl, the original stadium was built with a capacity of 72,000. However, at Yost's urging, temporary bleachers were added at the top of the stadium, increasing capacity to 82,000.Formal dedication of the new Michigan Stadium, October 22, 1927, against Ohio StateOn October 1, 1927, Michigan played Ohio Wesleyan in the first game at Michigan Stadium, prevailing easily, 33–0. The new stadium was then formally dedicated three weeks later in a contest against Ohio State on October 22. Michigan had spoiled the formal dedication of Ohio Stadium in Columbus five years earlier and was victorious again, besting the Buckeyes 21–0 before a standing-room-only crowd of 84,401. In 1930, electronic scoreboards were installed, making the stadium the first in the United States to use them to keep the official game time.[9]In 1956, the addition of a press box raised the stadium's official capacity to 101,001. The one "extra seat" in Michigan Stadium is said to be reserved for Fritz Crisler, athletic director at the time. Since then, all official Michigan Stadium capacity figures have ended in "-01", although the extra seat's location is not specifiedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6V_sYJl3OsRANDOM FACT-PORTLAND CEMENThttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_cementPortland cement is the most common type of cement in general use around the world as a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, stucco, and non-specialty grout. It was developed from other types of hydraulic lime in England in the early 19th century by Joseph Aspdin, and is usually made from limestone. It is a fine powder, produced by heating limestone and clay minerals in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding 2 to 3 percent of gypsum. Several types of portland cement are available. The most common, called ordinary portland cement (OPC), is grey, but white portland cement is also available. Its name is derived from its resemblance to Portland stone which was quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. It was named by Joseph Aspdin who obtained a patent for it in 1824. However, his son William Aspdin is regarded as the inventor of "modern" portland cement due to his developments in the 1840s.Portland cement is caustic, so it can cause chemical burns.The powder can cause irritation or, with severe exposure, lung cancer, and can contain a number of hazardous components, including crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium. Environmental concerns are the high energy consumption required to mine, manufacture, and transport the cement, and the related air pollution, including the release of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, dioxin,[citation needed] NOx, SO2, and particulates. Production of Portland cement contributes about 10% of world carbon dioxide emissions. The International Energy Agency has estimated that cement production will increase by between 12 and 23% by 2050 to meet the needs of the world's growing population. There are several ongoing researches targeting a suitable replacement of portland cement by supplementary cementitious materials.The low cost and widespread availability of the limestone, shales, and other naturally-occurring materials used in portland cement make it one of the lowest-cost materials widely used over the last century. Concrete produced from Portland cement is one of the world's most versatile construction materials.

One day after head coach Dan Campbell said the team would explore alternatives at the position, the Lions are signing Riley Patterson off the New England Patriots practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.An undrafted free agent out of Memphis, Patterson initially signed with the Minnesota Vikings before suffering an undisclosed injury that landed him on injured reserve. After being released with a settlement, he joined the Patriots last month. At Memphis, Patterson made 64 of his 83 field-goal attempts across four seasons, with a career-long of 56 yards. He earned all-conference honors in 2019 after converting 23 of 25 attempts. He also handled kickoffs for the school, securing a touchback on 162 of the 295 attempts. For the time being, Patterson will replace Ryan Santoso, who was filling in for the injured Austin Seibert, continuing Detroit's odyssey to replace Matt Prater, who departed as a free agent this offseason, signing a two-year, $6.5-million contract with the Arizona Cardinals.Lions' Decker angry and annoyed with media negativity, trade speculationAllen Park — In a vacuum, Detroit Lions offensive Taylor Decker could have ignored the talk radio, internet and social media chatter. But we don't live in a vacuum, and the negative commentary that percolated during the two months he was sidelined by injury seeped into every aspect of his life. His friends sent him articles, his neighbors asked him about it when he was walking the dog, but when speculation he could be traded by the Detroit Lions reached his parents and he had to address their concerns, it was more than Decker could handle. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2021/11/15/lions-decker-angry-and-annoyed-media-negativity-trade-speculation/8629894002/https://nfltraderumors.co/top-50-2021-nfl-free-agents/Mel Tucker-https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/mel-tucker-contract-could-be-held-up-power-strugglehttps://www.espn.in/college-football/story/_/id/32647199/oklahoma-lincoln-riley-downplays-speculation-interest-lsu-job

The Fith Chapter is a Detroit Based Sports Podcast tonight we will cover Matthew Stafford and The LA RAMS loss on Sunday Night Football. College basketball season tipping off plus all the college football games this past weekend and future.Harbaugh Says Big Ten Officials Ruled Aiden Hutchinson Had TDSome people would say that the referee's played their hand into States victory in the Michigan and Michigan State game. For me personally looking at that call and going back and back over it I felt that there was something bad called there. I thought that the touchdown should have stayed on the board and that it was an erroneous egregious decision by the referee's to overturn the call. Now if you look across the internet I found an article on Rivals.com that quoted Jim Harbaugh from his weekly press conference and the exact words. TheBig Ten official and crew following up on looking into it have determined that that should have been a touchdown in that the referees singlehandedly decided the Michigan and Michigan State game.

Michigan Wolverines Michigan State Spartans Penn State and Ohio State all play the same opponents over the next 4 weeks. Dennis Fithian and Adrian Myers discuss when Michigan fans were able to get over this past week's game. Also, the outlook this season for the UM basketball team plus Detroit Red Wings and Pistons talk. Why didn't the Lions move for a receiver? College Football Playoff Committee early selections where they right?By contrast, No. 5 Ohio State does not have a marquee nonconference win. While it is true Ohio State plays predominantly Power 5 teams because it is in the Big Ten, this once again leads to the same debate we have had since UCF tried to rabble rouse its way into the top four: If there is nothing that Group of 5 teams can do in their nonconference schedule, then what is the point of including them in this Power 5 playoff invitational?The conference strength of schedules between the Power 5 and Group of 5 will always be skewed heavily toward the Power 5. If stronger nonconference schedules cannot mitigate this fact, then the College Football Playoff selection committee needs to be honest for once and just come out and say it: Sorry, Group of 5 teams. There really is nothing you can do.Detroit Lions and NFL News..Aaron Rodgers Discount Double Checks His Teammates.

MICHIGAN VS MICHIGAN STATE PREDICTIONS... Lions 0-17? FithChapterCHAPter ONE: Its freaking rivalry week. What's going to happen when (6) Michigan visits (8) Michigan State this Saturday at noon. CHAPter TWO: The SOLions are still 0-7. Is this a must win when they host the Eagles this Sunday at Ford Field?Matthew Stafford Thrives in LA while the Lions risk 0-17?CHAPter THREE: Are the Red Wings BACK? Detroit erased a two-goal deficit to overcome the Capitals on the road in a great 3-2 overtime win. CHAPter FOUR: Astros even out the World Series with the Braves. Max Fried couldn't get it done starting for the Braves. What's going to happen in Game Three tomorrow in Atlanta?FITH CHAPter: A tradition unlike any other. We got the picks

CHAPter ONE: (6) Wolverines and (8) Spartans are both 7-0 and are kicking off at noon on Saturday. How hyped are we for this huge game? ESPN's "College GameDay" is coming. Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff," too. The rivals are meeting as unbeatens for the first time since 2010, and as top-10 teams for the first time since 1964.But all you need to know about the hype and anticipation surrounding Saturday's noon kickoff for Michigan-Michigan State in East Lansing is this: Dan Racey just sold a parking pass for $775.Yes, a parking pass — which, sure, doubles as a tailgate home, but still."It's been a while," Racey, president of west Michigan-based Row2Tickets, said when asked the last time he's seen this kind of demand for tickets or parking passes for this game. "We've seen this kind of craziness more for Michigan-Michigan State basketball the last few years."A week or two ago, demand really took off."Spartan Stadium seats about 75,000 fans, and every inch of real estate sandwiched between Shaw Lane and Red Cedar Road is expected to be accounted for Saturday — for the first time in several years. There have been pockets of empty seats for all of Michigan State's games in recent years, including an entirely empty stadium in 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.Oct. 30, 2021, will make up for that, to be sure.Tickets for the game are sold out, but plenty available on secondary markets, for those willing to pay, and pay significantly. On StubHub on Tuesday afternoon, the cheapest get-in price was about $230, and that was for a general-admission student ticket, and just one ticket. To get multiple seats together, the price goes up to $260. To get good seats together, like in the lower bowl, the price goes through the roof from $500 to $1,900.Michigan has lost an in-state commitment to the 2022 class, three-star receiver Tay'shawn Trent from Harper Woods announced Tuesday.Trent, in a post Tuesday on Twitter, thanked Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, offensive coordinator Josh Gattis and safeties coach Ron Bellamy for offer him “the opportunity of a life time” but was “dropping” is commitment.“I will always be a wolverine fan as I grew up watching them but God has other plans for me,” Trent wrote.CHAPter TWO: The SOLions are now 0-7 and lost to the golden boy Matt Stafford. Are there such things as moral victories? What was it like watching 9 play against his old squad? Lions release defensive back Daryl WorleyA former third-round draft pick with 54 starts under his belt, Worley had signed to the Lions practice squad in September and was promoted to the main roster a week later. He appeared in two games for Detroit, Week 4 against Chicago and Sunday against the Rams. CHAPter THREE: One team looks like it is starting to turn the corner and another team looks like it could be the worst team in their league. Red Wings and Pistons, who has impressed us on those squads? Pistons' Killian Hayes finds scoring touch, but work remains on defenseAtlanta — Generally, there isn't much to take from an 18-point loss. The Pistons followed their 15-point loss to the Chicago Bulls with another double-digit defeat on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks.It's an 0-3 start to the season, they're without Jerami Grant, their leading scorer, and they've shot the ball poorly in all three games. Even their defense, which was their silver lining in the first two games, withered with the warmer weather.CHAPter FOUR: World Series Game One is tonight. Braves are in H-Town to take on the Astros.

But it's time for a look, a leap, and perhaps a little luck.In year three of the Steve Yzerman-led rebuild, they're taking a closer look at their young talent, and hoping for a leap. The Wings certainly will be younger, deeper defensively and presumably better, whether the record reflects it or not.

1. Lions fall to 0-5; lose rags for seasonThis morning on Stony and Jansen Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell was done crying, but he went on to elaborate on the Lions only good receiver. Tyrell Williams was concussed in week 1 and its been almost a full month. But it is unknown when he will be able to return to the field.Per The Detroit News-Lions coach Dan Campbell said in his weekly interview Tuesday on 97.1 WXYT-FM that Williams is not close to returning from the brain injury that has sidelined him the past four games.“That doesn't look good right now,” Campbell said when asked about Williams' availability for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. “I would say that's off in the distance for sure.”https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2021/10/12/detroit-lions-wr-tyrell-williams-still-dealing-concussion/6101219001/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilotDan Campbell is genuine. It's one of his most endearing qualities as head coach. There is no pretense about Campbell, no charade. What you see is who he is, and if you've followed the NFL long enough, you know for people in positions of power that isn't always the case. Campbell isn't the first NFL coach to get emotional at a postgame news conference, like he did after Sunday's heartbreaking 19-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. But the fact that he did, that he hurt so publicly for his players and a Detroit Lions organization that had a win wrenched from its grasp for the second time in three weeks, resonated in the locker room and with the fan base.2.

An NFL spokesperson told USA Today that it had no plans to release those emails for confidentiality reasons.

I think we have several needs that we need to tackle in the offseason.Avila talked about pursuing a proven, veteran starting pitcher and catcher in free agency, as well as trying to upgrade at shortstop.“Pitching is very important,” Avila said. “We've established three young starters (Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning), but because of injuries, it's set us back a little bit. The injury to Spencer Turnbull is devastating, really.“And the injury to Matt Boyd, there's a decision looming there now going into the offseason.”“The resources will be there,” Avila said. “But I will caution you, this is not going to be spending like a drunken sailor. This is going to be a very measured process. We're going to make sure whatever decisions we make free agent-wise don't sink the organization for years to come. We want it to help the organization for years to come.” Avila, from 2015 through 2020, shred some $200 million off the payroll. Miguel Cabrera, who is owed $32 million each of the next two seasons, is the last remaining oversized contract on the books. They have salary commitments to just two other players for next season — $7.5 million to Jonathan Schoop and $5 million to Robbie Grossman.If want to pick one player who was emblematic of the Tigers' turnaround in 2021, pick Grossman. He signed a two-year, $10 million contract last winter and produced a career-year at age 31.On a team that had ranked at or near the bottom of the league in walks and chasing pitches out of the strike zone, Grossman was a season-long object lesson in taking professional at-bats.He walked 98 times, second-most in the American League.On a team that was trying to establish a culture of aggressive play, Grossman produced just the seventh 20-20 season in club history — 20 homers, 20 stolen bases.

1. Lions Bears & NFL week 4 Justin Fields Struggles early this season....There's only so much sympathy you're allowed to have for a rival, but as a fellow quarterback, one drafted in the first round who weathered the storm of falling short of early expectations, Jared Goff feels the pain of Chicago Bears rookie Justin Fields after his tumultuous first start last week. And in explaining why he feels a young quarterback shouldn't be pressed into action too early — an assessment shared by another pair of quarterbacks selected No. 1 overall during a segment on "Monday Night Countdown" — Goff unintentionally makes the case for the Detroit Lions sticking with him as their starter in 2022, even if they do decide to invest in the franchise's future at the position in the first round of next year's draft. 2.

NFL Opener, super bowl pick, a bold prediction, surprise team, disappointing teamTampa Bay Buccaneers Vs Dallas Cowboys DENNIS FITHIAN "Aaron Rodgers Can Go To Hell"2. How big of a week will it be for Michigan State Running Bank Kenny Walker III?3. Expectations for University of Michigan as they take on Washington this Saturday at 8pm."I wish Cade (McNamara) could have played the whole game or gotten more game reps as well, but that was our plan. It's just so critical for us to develop a second quarterback after going through our situation that we went through last year. ... We're very conscious of that as far as making sure we've got great depth at that position and developing those guys."4. Lions season's predictionWill Taylor Decker injury derail The Detroit Lions?D'Andre Swift will not have any restrictions on playing time in Sunday's season opener against the San Francisco 49ers despite missing the entire preseason with a groin injury, Detroit Lions running backs coach Duce Staley said Thursday.Asked before practice if Swift will be on a snap count in his first live action since January, Staley joked, "I'm very bad at counting reps.""If he's out there being productive, 'What number is it Duce?' 'Three.' It could be play 49," Staley said. "I don't know how to take (a productive running back) off. I get caught up in the game, he's going to get caught up in the game and every good player, every good running back that I know, anyway, once you start feeling it, you don't want to pull him off. We can count the reps Monday."Swift sat out all three games this preseason and practiced sporadically for most of August because of a groin injury that flared up at the start of training camp.Ex-Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson to return for Ford Field ring ceremony this falCalvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions remain at odds nearly six years after the Hall of Fame receiver played his last NFL game, but Johnson will return to the stadium he used to call home for an appearance this fall.Johnson is scheduled to receive his Hall of Fame ring in a ceremony at the Lions' Sept. 26 game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Thursday.Johnson has had an icy relationship with the Lions since the team required him to repay a $1.6 million portion of his signing bonus when he retired after the 2015 season.5.

Michigan BLOWS OUT WESTERN MICHIGAN... Kenny Walker lights it up for Michigan State plus more College Football Wekk 1.. Fithian likes the pace Ole Miss plays at #Fast #uptempo.But is Penn State Legit or is it another Vale to confuse Brian Chapman?Spartan fans were loud from the start of Friday night's 38-21 win, with Kenneth Walker III's 75-yard, first-play touchdown making the presence of the pro-MSU crowd known immediately. So much so that Jayden Reed took a 15-yard celebration penalty for slapping hands with a green-clad fan in the front row of the south end zone after the score.The next step for Tucker and the Spartans will be their first actual home game in front of fans Saturday at Spartan Stadium when Youngstown State visits for a noon kickoff (Big Ten Network).Alabama solidified its hold on the No. 1 position in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, but the rest of the Top 25 looks a lot different after a compelling set of results from Week 1.The Crimson Tide looked as impressive as ever in their opening victory against Miami (Fla.). Alabama claimed 64 of 65 first-place votes easily retaining the top spot. The Hurricanes do remain in the poll, however, holding on at No. 24.Georgia vaults to No. 2, picking up the remaining first-place nod, after shutting down then-No. 2 Clemson in the weekend's marquee contest. The Tigers slip to No. 6. Ohio State moves up to No. 3 after staving off Minnesota in its Big Ten road opener. Oklahoma slips to No. 4 after struggling to put away Tulane. Texas A&M rounds out the top five.MICHIGAN RUNS WILD-Michigan football, which had no problems with Western Michigan in the season opener on Saturday, is second in the "others receiving votes" category, behind just Auburn. U-M's opponent for this week, Washington, began the season No. 21 in the poll. But the Huskies' loss to FCS Montana has knocked them off of everyone's ballot. Man The Fith Chapter has a killer Thumbnail for their live stream at 7pm… JOIN Dennis Fithian to discuss…WEEK 1 in College Football….
