Sunday Morning Coffee

As predicted, once Michigan starts to play tough competition they start down the slide. Three years, the same pattern. Many people think the offense is amazing, and the only thing Michigan needs is a Defense. The offense is good, yet when they get in the trenches with the big boys it tends to be forced to play with a sense of desperation.

I do not pile all of the blame on Rich Rodriguez yet, he did recruit these players, and the numbers do not lie. Rich Rod is 4-16 against the Big Ten. That is no less than embarrassing. If Michigan manages to get one more win, what bowl game will they be in, and isn't that more embarrassing than not going at all?

Many excuses are flying around, injury, young players blah blah. It is not too much to ask for a defense to get better each week, at least a little. There has been no improvement as a matter of fact they have gotten worse.

Some say fire Rich Rod, others say get rid of Greg Robinson. I am pretty sure something will happen, soon. I know Michigan tradition, does not include fighting for who will be the next to last in the Big Ten.

The Big Ten Slide

Penn State Blows Up the Big House

Wow!

It has been a Long time since Penn State has won a game at the Big House. I really don't think that Penn State is that good of a team, Michigan sure did make them look good though.

I think it was quite apparent that Michigan had a total collapse. There wasn't one aspect of the game in which Michigan did not just "drop the ball", playing like it was the 5th quarter of the Delaware State game. Ok, except for #55 (he is the man).

Out coached, out talented, out played, out hit, I have no explanation, do you? I am a little tired of the "this is a young team" excuse. Time to man up and execute.

In the big picture, Michigan still Owns Penn State, but last weekend was quite an embarrassment.

Hope the team can get it's s*** together and beat Illinois.

Go Blue!
