The Detroit Titans say goodbye to a rough exhibition season when they welcome (but hopefully not warmly) the Division 3 Adrian Bulldogs at historic Calihan Hall. Now normally I'd be posting this on the original fan forum but when I checked in tonight, they wouldn't let me past the front door. Titan Mike said something about "forged IDs and serving intoxicated posters." No problemo! Thankfully, the Commissioner's site is open for business at all hours and to all participants, regardless of said poster's condition.
Adrian is opening their season with us in a game the Bulldog website describes as "exhibition". Don't you believe it for second. The Bulldogs cannot have helped but notice that the newly titled "Detmer Titans have dropped 2 consecutive pre-season games to Wayne State and Ferris State by identical scores, 85-79. That's not precisely what was expected from first year Head Coach Bacari Alexander's team with its new emphasis on defense. Then again, we are a Jesuit university that is known for it's boundless charity. Adrian can't be faulted for treating this as a chance of a lifetime to knock off a D-1 team that has shown flaws early on.
Make no mistake, the first 2 contests were hard to watch. Our GLIAC opponents ran wild on us. Personally, as I watched and followed Bacari's charges online all I could think about was how much I could use some Bacardi 151 (like enough to enter a coma) or, say, a Brandy Alexander...or 10. Oh, you see what I did there? Clever, huh? That's because I'm a wordsmith...or maybe it's because I'm a lush.
Seriously (kinda), I need a big Titans' win. I've started a new job as an air freight forwarder at the airport. I even passed a background check by the Department of Homeland Security. That ought to tell you something about how your tax dollars are spent. I drive around in this little truck picking up cargo destined for places around the globe...or Troy...or Dearborn...or the Family Dollar on McNichols near Shaeffer. For the most part I stay busy just moving Ray Michael's stuff but, occasionally, I get some other items. Today, I was at the Detroit Lions' Allen Park practice facility to receive old VCRs, DVD players, and computers to take to a refurbishing company somewhere in Oakland County. The point is: I'm tired. As an old dog, new tricks don't come as easily as they once did. I desperately need the comradery of my Titan friends. Even a loss would not be time misspent; I always love seeing my peeps at Calihan. But a win? That would truly be fine.
The line on this game, established by my neighbor during a recent work furlough outing, is set at Detroit -18. We will cover; book it, Dano! The Official Moose Prediction (from the home office in Mooseheart, Illinois while wearing my newly minted TSA ID): Adrian Bulldogs 67 Detroit Titans 88. I believe!! GO TITANS!!!
