Something's been missing from Michigan gamedays since the free programs ceased being economically viable: scientific gameday predictions that are not at all preordained by the strictures of a column in which one writer takes a positive tack and the other a negative one… something like Punt-Counterpunt. PUNT By Bryan MacKenzie@Bry Mac Imagine it's last Saturday, and you're Sherrone Moore.

PUNT By Bryan MacKenzie@Bry Mac The James Webb Space Telescope is awesome in every sense of the word. It took more than two decades, hundreds of organizations, thousands of people, and approximately $73 Bazillion to design, build, launch, and deploy. The thing lives about 930,000 miles away, orbiting around an invisible gravitational parking space called a Lagrange Point at nearly four times the distance of the moon. Its mirror is 21 feet wide, which is one-and-a-half times the average length of a Spencer Petras pass attempt. It is a stunning scientific achievement. According to NASA, the launch and d
