U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

Michigan will surpass Ohio State next year and will play at a level that you see Florida and Texas do. If you don't believe it your foolish. The rest of the Big 10 will have to catch up to the speed of Michigan or be left behind.

Come on, Ted...How can you say others are being foolish for not believing? Based on WHAT??? Save the word foolish for when there is really something at stake for a fan. Not believing in the way ahead doesn't cost me anything if I find out I'm wrong, and besides, what makes you think that OSU or some other BT school (like MSU) won't have great recruiting that puts them not only equal to but better than Michigan? To me, that's more likely.

It's all good. I love the game and watch with as much detail as I can. Thighs are a clear indicator of power.

Yeah i was just joking, certain members around here have a knack for finding homo-suspicious sentences and declaring their findings to the world...

You like your wolvies a lot and believe. I respect it.

Because OSU and MSU are still caught up in smashmouth over speed. They can't compete against elite teams because they can't catch them. Rich Rod is building a speed team. He has done it at his previous stops. The difference in team speed from Carr's last season to now is blatantly obvious. I think Michigan State will move ahead of Ohio State next season as well. Dantoni has done a good job there.

West Virginia had a laughable program at best when Rich Rod took over. In 4 years they were serious contenders for a national championship. Now you take Rich Rod and his sytem and place him at the winningest program in college football and the odds are very high that Michigan will be a serious contender for a National Title in 3 years.

Great scenario, but am I foolish because I'm not buying into it?

[Ted]

No. Perhaps foolish is to strong. Maybe you are being cautious before buying in to it. Understandable if you are.

I edited it my friend. I was caught up in the emotion of the day. :-)

Sweet.

It would also be sweet if what you predict becomes true.

Since 1975 only 2 true Freshman have started at QB, Rick Leach and Chad Henne. Today that number doubled. That's almost unheard of. It's even more significant because each was successful while on the field.

And next year they have Devin Gardner committed. Of course that can change but if it doesn't and they redshirt him, they may be set at QB for years to come.

This program is finally heading in the right direction. The last few years of Carr there was a slow decline caused by the attitude of winning the Big 10 and going to the Rose Bowl was a succesful season. Michigan is not the only Big 10 team guilty of that and it shows in the pitiful performances in bowl games the Big 10 has had in recent history. Of course the Big 10 is important but the sights will actually be higher.

Again I firmly believe Rich Rod will bring Michigan back to prominence and the other Big 10 teams better saddle up or they'll get left behind.

[Kstat]

...you realize a team cant start two Qbs in the same game....right?

[Coop]

W m U got "thumped" indeed...ouchy ouch.

[Sharkbait]

Good Lord!! How could you be a one time Michigan fan then 'switch' over to the stench below that is tOSU? Take some time to know the sweatervest and the evil he really is!

I never thought a WMU crushing would be so big. Very nice.

"Michigan will surpass Ohio State next year and will play at a level that you see Florida and Texas do. The rest of the Big 10 will have to catch up to the speed of Michigan or be left behind."
----------------------I don't know that UM will surpass OSU next year, although I would love it, but my belief when RichRob was hired was UM was breaking from the tradition of BIG10 football of power to speed and finese. When they get there they will certainly surpass OSU and the rest of the BIG10 will have to catch up.

GO LIONS "09" !!!!!!!!!
