Michigan To Bounce Back Next Week!

[Cheesehead Craig]

The only good outcome is that Lloyd Carr will most likely be fired at the end of the year. He has wasted more talent than any other college coach out there.

I am reminded of a quote from my buddy when Dale Brown was the men's BB coach at LSU during the Shaq years and I think it applies here:

"Never has so little been done with so much"

I think they said the same thing about Bobby Cox and the Braves.

Maybe if you lost to a New Mexico, or a Mississippi State. But Appalachian State - there's no coming back from that loss.

Heck, I think Appalachian State would clobber Mississippi State. UMaine isn't nearly as good a 1-AA team as App. State and beat MSU two years ago in Starkville. And from what I saw of MSU vs. LSU this week, they don't look like they've gotten better. I feel badly for Sylvester Croom.

My favorite part of all of this was,

The michigan coach's excuse was, "We werent prepared..."

Apparently, Michigan was not prepared for the last 3 games they have played as they lost all three of them--Ohio State last year, USC in the Rose Bowl(they were clobbered) and now App. St.

The only way Carr can keep his job is to win every one of the games on the regular schedule and win a major Bowl game. The National Championship game eligibility is all but over for MU.

A division II has never beat a division I team cause they've never played!

I don't think that's right. I'm pretty sure the Badgers have played North Dakota and South Dakota when each was Division II.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I suppose they used to call NCAA-1aa "Division II". And now "Divison II" is even smaller schools. I was looking at the Div II website, and am surprised that there are about 250 schools playing at this level.

Bump for an upset.

[BallHawk]

Bump for another huge TD pass.

32-7 Oregon!

0-2 for Big Blue.

[Harlan Huckleby]

oregon is winning 32-7 in the second quarter!? this can't be happening. Am I crazy? Don't bother answering, you might just be part of the hallucination anyway.

Let's just hope that OPF manages to get up by 10 o'clock to watch the game tomorrow. I'm sure he's knocking back a few as we speak.

I have to admit I am surprisingly stunned by the game. As you recall, I started out this thread by claiming that Michigan would bounce back from last week's historic upset by App. St. to crush the Oregon Ducks! I even predicted they would beat Oregon by a margin of 17+ points.

Most of the preseason pollsters predicted the Ducks would finish 5th or 6th in the Pac-10. For them to beat Michigan in "The Big House" 39-7 shows how overrated and poor a team the Wolverines actually are!

The more I follow football, the more I realize there is no such thing as a "Sure win" or "Sure loss."

All the more reason pre-season NCAAF rankings are retarded. They shouldn't rank the teams until 4 weeks in.

Then we woudln't get top see a top 5 team plummet from the rankings.

We also wouldn't have to see an average-at-best, over ranked, ND team go to a BCS bowl like last year.
