Well the University of Michigan's football team didn't take long to disappoint this year. Yesterday they lost to division 1aa Appalachian State in what some are calling the greatest upsets of all time. I missed the game because I was at the MSU game but the crowd there sure did enjoy getting the scoring updates.
While Michigan should never lose to a school like Appalachian State, I can't say I am terribly surprised. I knew they were overranked and was just telling my Stepdad last week that I didn't have a good feeling about the team this year.
The most frustrating part of yesterday's result is that this season is already lost. Even if they run the table and win the big ten and a BCS bowl game it won't matter. They lost to Appalachian State. That's the story of this season period. Despite a fourth year starting QB, an NFL left tackle, a star wide receiver and a potential Heisman candidate in Mike Hart, they still couldn't beat a division 1aa school. What does that say about our coaching?
By all accounts they were out coached and unprepared. Hmmm? That sounds familiar because they say that after every loss. And the reason they that is because it's true. By all accounts Lloyd Carr is a good man but he is simply not a good enough coach for Michigan if they really want to compete for a national title. We should have gone after Urban Meyer two years ago. It worked well for Florida. Instead, we will have to ride out this year with Carr. If yesterday is any indication it could be a long year.

A Gator alumni has just launched www.KeepUrbanMeyer.com. Please consider these facts:
1) Meyer has never been the head coach for more than two years at any school.
2) This is Urban Meyer’s 3rd year at the University of Florida!
3) Urban Meyer is the hottest young college coach in America!
4) The NFL already claimed a Gator football coach in Steve Spurrier (2001) and the NBA hired away (then released) Gator basketball coach Billy Donovan (2007)
5) A logical person would conclude that Urban Meyer is the next Gator coach to be lured away!
KeepUrbanMeyer.com will remain in existence ban Meyer to commit to the University of Florida until his contract expires, and to turn down the NFL when they are calling!
Please help Gator Nation by pressuring Urban Meyer to commit to fulfilling his contract with the University of Florida by remaining head football coach until at least 2013. Gator Nation can’t be saved without your help!
2 men's basketball championships & a football championship all in the past 2 years... I don't think Gator Nation needs saving.
Ah...Football.
Great to see you at Willow this past Sunday Jeff.

From what I saw Carr (or Karr) made some Pop Warner coaching mistakes...I'm surprised they didn't fire him after the game.
C'mon, I'm waiting for your analysis of last night's debate...!
Seven RINO's trying to sound like they are conservative and one fruit cake that needs to go back to the Daily Kos...that's all you need to know.
