Michigan Proving Last Week Was No Fluke
This man deserves a lifetime contract
With a couple minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Lloyd’s boys are getting waxed 39-7 by an Oregon team that gave up 545 yards to Houston last week. I admit I was about 1% disappointed that UM lost last week because of the fuel it gave the pundits who constantly dog the conference but now that the damage is done it’s fun watching the wheels fall off this squad. I might even send Lloyd a thank you note as he is single handedly increasing demand for our latest masterpiece in the shop. (excuse the shameless plug)
Worse than the score, the body language seems to reveal a team that has quit on its season and its coach. From a Buckeye perspective, it’s a shame all this will likely lead to Lloyd resigning or being fired at the end of the season but you can’t keep a coach once his team has quit on him, ask John Cooper. I guess the editors over at TIME magazine forgot about Lloyd when they recently produced their list of the 50 Worst Car(r)’s of All Time.

You can call this the “Les Miles” effect. The PAC10 is out for blood this season. Not that Michigan is great, but..

The defense is going to give up over 600 yards of offense. Oregon has 570 with 10 minutes to go. Insane.
Before he got hurt, Henne was 11/22 for 167 with a pick and a TD.

I watched the second half of the game naked - I wanted to be one with my screen while I watched cAArr’s squad recreate the football version of the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster. I am speechless…and back in my clothes.

from the AP report:
Michigan (0-2) has opened a season with two straight losses at home for the first time since 1959 and has dropped four straight, dating to last season, for the first time in four decades.

…Wow
We better hope Penn State beats ND.

They have given up an average of 34 points for the last 4 games. The faces of the fans over the past two weeks have been priceless. Screw Migh-again, I hope Notre Dame beats them next week.
Props to Penn State for their 107,000 person white out, pretty incredible.

Just saw Lloyd’s PG Pres Conference…
I must say I was impressed. He was smart, strog, ad to the point. This may cost me buckeye points, but I almost clapped when he wlaked off. He basically told the UM faithful to suck his dick and nothing will bring him down including “the loss of my job” and then wlaked off the set. I guess it is more clear to me why twe are rivals. We are two bad ass programs with more class than I even knew. Hat off to Lloyd.
PS. I still love watching them lose!

Game was over in the 1st qtr and everybody in the Big Outhouse knew it. They couldn’t even muster up a boo. As I write this watching Texas and TCU, they throw up a graphic showing top defenses against the run in 2006 (TCU was pretty good) and Mich. was #1.

One more thing……..since the mighty Irish have no ‘O” and will not score an offensive touchdown against Penn St., we might have to start a poll for how long it will take them to score in the Outhouse next week.

I just heard that if the Irish start 0-2 that it will be the first time EVAR that both ND and Michigan are 0-2.
Life is great.

If you want to laugh your ass off, go to the open thread of the Michigan game and fast forward to when they start to lose.

That thread is priceless! Take some time to read on down past halftime.
This is my personal favorite:
Two years ago OSU loses everyone on D and then (gasp!) retool and field a very good defense the following year. Michigan loses everyone and plays like a bunch of uninterested pussies. I’m so angry right now I can’t even get drunk or yell. Fuck emo week, this is furious kill yourself and scream obscenities at elderly women on the subway week. I hate the University of Michigan.
