Bottom 10 after Week 10 - Toothless Wolverines earn spot - ESPN

Inspirational thought of the week:

Oh, wait a minute, mister
I didn't even kiss her
Don't want no trouble with you
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you

Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more

— «Gimme Three Steps,» Lynyrd Skynyrd

Here at Bottom 10 Headquarters, located behind an abandoned meat-'n'-three that sits next door to a Three Thirteen Store with a truck parked in front sporting a Dale Earnhardt slanted No. 3 bumper sticker, we are sitting in our used 1983 BMW 3 Series listening to MP3s of Genesis, The Police and The Outfield while wearing a Dale Murphy No. 3 jersey.

What's with our trilateral fascination, our pyramidal preoccupation, our sudden triangular attraction? Because there are only three weeks remaining in the 2026 regular season. A trio of games in which to determine one's football fate. A trichotomy of kickoffs left to either salvage one's fall… or to just fall. A three-act play during which one will act out a story of triumph or tragedy. A trio of Saturdays — or Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, amirite #MACtion? — to graft gridiron goals from a place of loss into a spot of power with which to carry one's selves into a happier offseason like a recovered fumble tucked into the arms of a defensive back… or ricocheting off the body of a would-be returner.
