Yes…Yes…at least there will always be THAT! …and oh 41-14 too!

But, he was a good guy that ran his program with integrity and he should be recongized for that.

This is a HUGE job opening. Should be an interesting search. Of course, it may not be that interesting the focus is primarily on Les Miles and he accepts.

Seriously no one cares about your victories in 1894 that gives you 17 more wins. In the last 40 years? OSU is 18-20-2 vs Michigan.

And even more seriously, no on cares about your consecutive bowl appearances in the Poinsettia Bowl. 6 wins is all that is required to make a bowl game. Michigan has been to 11 straight bowl games including 3 Citrus Bowls, an Outback Bowl, and a Alamo Bowl. Impressive!

And LLLLLoyd’s 7th highest active winning %? Since 1995, Lloyd has gone 113-36 at Michigan. In that same time period. OSU has gone 119-32, and Florida has gone 118-34.

So throw around the stats and enjoy continued mediocrity. Next year when OSU is playing USC out of conference, you’ll be playing Utah. Nice work keeping that winning % up.

Why would that even exist if the question had not been raised? Of course Miles wants to eventually go back to UM. And I say let him. do you really think he has coached us to no. 1? come on, we are winning on our talent in spite of our coach.

Good luck in your December bowl game this year.

Oregon is good. They would wipe the floor with Ohio State if the two ever played. Good thing Illinois (Oregon lite?) already eliminated the embarrassment from taking place.

And I’m not sure what this “mediocrity” is of which you speak. Yes, you guys have gotten the best of us lately, but we have a winning record vs Ohio State all-time, the longest active streak of consecutive bowl appearances, and Lloyd has the 7th-highest active winning percentage in Division I-A. That’s hardly mediocre.

As an OSU fan, as fun as that would be to enjoy, any discussion about overhyped, trainwreck programs in the media should be entirely focused on the Irish.

One of the few bright spots during this exile was Saturday. I took a train down to Seoul to hang out with friends. We played football on the on the baseball fields then drank heavily until the Armed Forces Network began broadcasting college football games. The games were usually live and at that point it was actually very early Sunday morning. The football continued until it was time for breakfast.

What I got to see that season was the team I root for go undefeated. I got to see them play defense that bordered on cruelty. I got to see my team field an athlete so good he won an award normally reserved for quarterbacks, tailbacks, and wideouts despite being a cornerback (yeah, the punt returns and receptions did help with that). For once, the team I rooted for didn’t blow it and ended up with a share of that Mythical National Championship, something Michigan hadn’t done in a half century. It certainly wasn’t the best year of my life and there were many moments of lonely—generally drunken—frustration, but watching Michigan win and win and win was what can only be described as a morale booster.

For that, Lloyd Carr has my eternal gratitude. He may not be a perfect coach—no one is—and certainly isn’t a shiny new thing in a world enamored by shiny new things, but I will miss him and wish him nothing but the best whenever he does choose to retire.

All I know is, we went into Champaign without one Michael Hart and beat a team that just beat you in your backyard. That has to sting.

You gotta love shit talking from a fan of a team that was ranked #5 in the pre-season, expected to compete for a national title, and got beat by Appy State (and paid them $60,000 to do it) and then got shelled by Oregon to start the season 0-2. Talk about a sting.

I guess irrational shit talking is all you have when you are used to mediocrity.

Good luck in your December bowl game this year.

This depends in large part to the eptitude/ineptitude of his successor, of course.
