Get StartedHUGE disappointment. I was on Northwestern's campus this past summer and bs'ed with a guy in the book store. I honestly thought the UM/NW game was going to determine who would play OSU in Indianapolis.
On the one hand, I'm fearful that today may have saved jobs for the offensive coaching staff, on the other, I can't imagine a losing conference record, HORRID November, and overall WTF moments not resulting in some level of change.
The 2007 season will long be remembered as the most disappointing UM season simply b/c of the National Championship hopes. But this season isn't far behind.
And it's going to be interesting to see what guys come back and what guys don't. I can understand a coach's devotion to his seniors, but if I'm Green or Smith, watching Fitz get look after look with seemingly no accountability (always out there whether he sucks or not) I'm second guessing my decision. If Fitz had another year of eligibility, I'd have bet on one if not both leaving.
If I'm Taco Charlton, and I leave high school early, work to put on weight, and I have to sit on the bench behind Brennan Fucking Beyer and Keith Motherfucking Heitzman, I'm wondering what the fuck is going on. His offer list wasn't as impressive as some of the other young guys I thought might be playing more though, so his transfer options might not be all that attractive.
We'll see typical attrition, probably from some DBs and maybe even an OL or two. Bellomy?
I don't know about that.
unless Hoke is a total cock to them in the locker room, I'd guess most of these guys will be back. all signs pointed to his players liking him (with few exceptions) from day one, and I don't think losing 5 games changes that.
they played well today, and I think that shows that these players supported their coaches and vice versa.
I tend to agree with this.
well, that's very nice. thank you kindly.
do you want to come with me to Columbus next week to burn things and beat up people in the streets?
I plan to make it look like this:
pretty sure Tinsel is in, but he hasn't responded to my message yet.
Well, I'm still hopeful we can end on a bright spot with the bowl game and go into next year with a win on our minds. For some reason an 8 win season just seems a lot better than 7. I still think that next season we start to see some major improvements with the young guys. Though, it would have been nice to get the OSU monkey off our back this year. The longer that hangs around the more mental it becomes.
Question
Why is Hoke's 3-5 different then Rich Rod's?
Just because he is a Michigan Man?
What worries me is Hoke and his staff did much better with Rich Rod's guys in year one then he is right now getting his guys...

I remember cringing when richrod would compare the UM-OSU rivalry to Pitt WVU. That didn't do him any favors.
