I live in a small town in NY...there is a family here who have been ND fans since I can remember in grade school bc the grandfather attended. He went on to be a used car salesman. Years later, his grandaughter, who is 3 years younger than myself, graduated from ND 3 years ago and is now entering her 3rd year as a waitress at a local dive of a restaurant. Now I am aware of the economy, but it makes me chuckle just a bit whenever I see her.
I was just currious if anyone is worried about how the recruiting is going for football next year? Got a couple of guys that are way off the radar committed for next year...and I mean WAY off. Is Michigan still a powerhouse that should be pulling in only 4 and 5 star guys? Again, just curious what everyone thinks..
OK, I have been a Michigan fan since the ripe-old age of 11...and I am now 28. I have loved every second of Michigan football until this year. I thought that a few years ago when the team went 7-5, that was the worst that I was ever going to witness in my lifetime. That was until this year. I was all for Rich Rodriguez (although I would have prefered Les Miles), but THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Being 3-8 heading into the Ohio State game is just totally unacceptable. Michigan is not a program that has up and down years...every once in a blue moon they put together a 7-5 season, but the very next year they are in the top 15 and ready to compete! I just can't believe they didn't think about this more before going with RR.
The second point I wanted to make was about the hiring of RR. There has to be some sort of process as where the AD asks the question during the interview, "what do you know about the UM-OSU rivalry and what do you plan to do to keep the rivalry alive and bring the shift in power back to Michigan?" I don't believe that this question was ever asked to RR...when he talkes about the game, it just seems like it is another game to him. Does he not unstand that there is only 1 game each year that TRULY matters...and that game is OSU? This isn't just another game...this is life for Michigan! I'm not sure that he will ever have the mentallity and shear determination to destroy OSU...which was evident from when he was introduced in Crisler Arena and continues to be evident in his interviews.
I am just an outraged fan who has truly lost sleep and who is totally consumed by what has become of his beloved Wolveries...we are not the Hurricanes, Florida State, or even Notre Dame! We don't fall off the map, not even for a year! It is truly too Great, to be a WOLVERINE!
