1. Michigan lost its annual matchup with the red-staters down under.  The worst was that we seemed to have solved them and were on the verge of tanking their season, only to let them march down the field at the end of the game for exactly the score they needed to to go ahead and use up the clock.
2. The  Pistons' season-starting unbeaten streak ended at 8 games after we allowed Dallas to win by nearly 40 points.  Yes, it was the end of a back-to-back on the road, but shooting a little above 30% and being down by 20 at halftime aren't what you'd expect from a team trying to prove that it's unbeaten streak wasn't just an artifact of being scheduled against 8  mediocre to weak teams.
3. The Red Wings lost their 4th straight after staring the season 15-2.  Now I really do not understand or truly follow hockey, it's just a nice feeling to see their wins pile up.  It would have been the small consolation for the Wolverine and Pistons losses.
4. The Lions lost on Sunday.  Of course this was no surprise.  Sadly, our opponent (Dallas again) played poorly and we gave them the game by getting a ridiculous number of penalties to keep their woeful offense alive (the Dallas quarterback threw for a mere 110 yards).  At least the struggling Lion Joey Harrington played reasonably well in a statistical sense.  Outside of a fumble, he had no picks and a decent completion percentage.
5. I'm no Michigan State fan, but there are a surprisingly large number of such individuals outside East Lansing.  They also lost on their way to restoring pride to Penn State's program.

And there we have it -- 2 days of continuous losses by the state's major sports attractions.  All right, I didn't look at the Michigan Men's basketball team, it's possible they won a game (the embarrassment from my class's Fab Five scandal has caused me to de-prioritize this sport for the time being).

At least the Tigers didn't lose. 

The good thing is that we now have some losses out of our systems.  Michigan will go to some WeedEater Bowl or similarly named attraction and vent its frustrations on some hapless lesser-known school.  The Pistons will no longer have the pressure of trying to be the NBA's version of the 1972 Dolphins and can get back to beingg focused on the game rather than the streak.  I'm sure the Red Wings will recover.

The Lions?  The fans will continue to like whichever quarterback was not the last one to lose.

Now I have to say, as much as I'd like to see my teams win (especially when you're living far from home), I'd trade it all for fixes to the city's non-sports related problems.

For now, Go BLUE, Pistons, Wings, and Lions...
