LLLLLoyd Carr Fan Club Gets Mention by ESPN

Mark Schlabach of ESPN, in his piece about Love/Hate in College Football, makes reference to the LLLLLoyd Carr Fan Club. Can't wait to get the "LRod" Fan Club t-shirts rolling.

L Rod Off to a Good Start

First the Bucks take Pryor from L Rod (I have no doubt that he told UM that he would bring Pryor with him if he got the job and as their fifth or sixth choice, they had to believe him - they were getting desperate).

Now, there is a 'lack of a family values' at the program. Looks as if L Rod doesn't have any clue about the historic, yet losing, grounds in which he walks. The ghost of Bo looking over his shoulder - he can't be too proud. Besides, as Bo always said, 'a UM man should coach a UM team.' This guy stinks of John Cooper.

This is what you get when the both of the coaches running the two biggest sports in your athletic department are from West Virginia. Not only couldn't L Rod ever win a big game in his career at WVU (hello Pittsburgh), not only did he completely disgrace his alma matter by leaving for Michigan, now he is angering the former UM alumni and their kids are walking out the door:

On a side note, there is also a story in the Dispatch that claims Boren may consider OSU as his transfer choice. To quote my friend Jason Thrush about Boren..."dude sounds a bit like a pussy, though. He doesn't like to run to the line of scrimmage? Suck it up pansy!" Given that expert analysis, plus the fact that you left the fine state of Ohio for Llllloyd Carr in the first place, I am not sure Sir Tressel should allow you back in this state Justin.

14-3 Buckeyes - The Dominant Force

I can't sum up the Ohio State Michigan game in one word, in fact, I can't sum it up in one post, but here is a shot at it:

• LLLLLLoyd Carr - we will miss you. We were confident that not even you could get these Michigan players to respond to the biggest game in their Michigan career. I guess you should have announced your resignation before the game - to attempt to inspire them more. (Btw - your retirement press conference had people asleep in it).
• Ohio State was dominant on both sides of the line.
• I forgot that it could actually rain for 4 hours straight while it was 35 degrees.
• Mike Hart - the single biggest mouth in the history of NCCA athletics went home 0-4 and has and never will win a big game in his college football career. Sure glad you left millions on the table this year to come back and 'Beat Ohio State' Mike. How did that turn out for you?
• Chad Henne - perhaps the MVP for Ohio State for the game. You just knew when he was in the game, Michigan had no chance.
• Jake Long - hey pal, at least you don't open your mouth. Then again, you did just get owned by Vernon and Ironhead. Top 5 pick eh?
• The fact that I saw a number of "Mike Hart for Heisman" t-shirts being worn on game day brought out a chuckle (and plenty of ammunition for hazing and taunting).
• I am pretty sure everyone around me was tired of hearing me cheer loud for Chad Henne. He was my favorite player on the field during gameday.
• Jim Tressel is still one of the top 3 coaches in all of college football. Illinois had me scratching my head, but Tressel showed yet again that he can inspire and will a team to win - especially on the biggest stage of the year.
• If you can't take the heat, why show up? I wasn't surprised, but it still puzzles me that a Michigan fan would show up in the stadium and be shocked to hear an OSU fan sling some mud across the bow. You all lost to Appalachian state dude.
• Scherer was confronted by a 60-year old man who was ready to throw fists to defend his pathetic Michigan team's performance. He was later sucker punched by the 60-year old man's son. Class, nothing but class Michigan fan.
• Immediately following the game, Scherer and I were surrounded by approximately 10 Michigan fans that wanted to take out some of their frustration on the 'OSU section leaders' in Section 34 Row 22. Thankfully, there still are some educated Michigan fans that do attend the game.
• On the way out the door, I still had Michigan fans hazing me about the Illinois loss. This after their "national championship senior starters" put up 97 offensive yards total. Hey Michigan fan - time to start working on your post-game loss hazing skills.

This sums up the intelligence level north of the Ohio state line. More to come....

LLLLLoyd Carr Fan Club

In the spirit of cheering on our favorite (now former) Michigan coach, we had these t-shirts made. It was the icebreaker for many 'conversations' had with the maize and blue fools in Ann Arbor. Limited edition!

A Punchline for the Next 30 Years

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070902/SPORTS06/709020673/1123/SPORTS

By far the best story of the weekend - calling for Carr's head. As a Buckeye fan, it will be sad to see Carr go....I guess I should finally start working on my Website salute to Lloyd Carr....more to come.

And to boot, this happened on the weekend of my sister's wedding...financed by a Wolverine alumni and marrying a Wolverine fan husband who's father graduated as a Wolverine attended by a number of close family members and friends who are also Wolverine fans......I'll be sure to get back to this topic soon.

Please be sure to leave any jokes you've heard in the comments.....this one will be revisited for the next 30 years.

Buckeyes Right Around the Corner

I am predicting a 2-3 loss season this year for my Scarlet & Gray. With that said, in typical Tressel form, I believe the boys will head to Ann Arbor with an outside chance at a BCS game and with Lloyd Carr and big mouth Hart's undefeated season on the line. You know what that means don't you Lloyd?

And Mike Hart, you came back for your senior season to beat OSU, right? Looking forward to Beanie running all over your defense and putting your class in the record books as the class of 2007 that couldn't never beat the Buckeyes! Looking forward to you opening your mouth all season and blogging about it right here.

Go Bucks!
