Blue Crushed
If rival Ohio State clinching the Big Ten title with a 14-3 win over Michigan on a rainy Saturday wasn't enough, speculation about the future of coach Lloyd Carr only added to the gloomy Ann Arbor mood.
What happened? I thought y'all would surely get your game back on... for Da Gipper Coach, for the ole Wolverine pride....
Now Darlin’, don’t be too hard on Sharky. While his team lost, he can still shout with pride, “We used to be # 23!.”
Same thing that happens to every team whose star QB is hurt. Plus the addition of their star running back being hurt just made it impossible.
USC
Oregon
Oklahoma
Same thing happened to them with their QB and they all lost.
Imagine where they'd be if their star running back was hurt as well. Any other program would be in the same place.
I am sorry for coach Carr. He coached with honesty, ran a clean program that won with integrity. Very few college programs can say the same. He deserved better as an end to his career, but he's got character and will look back with pride on what he did.
