Without playing a single game...the Michigan/ohio state rivalry is heating up. Since the naming of Rich Rodriguez as Michigan's new Head Coach, the ohio state posters on this board have done nothing but hate on the guy. Post after post of nothing but negativity!
Trolls...you have documented your fear here on SackCarr, and yes...you have every right to be worried. The hiring of Rich Rodriguez was a huge step up for the Michigan football program and will only make this rivalry a better one.
I think I can speak for all of the UofM fans on this board when I say, "Thanks buckeye fan...your sentiments have clearly indicated that Michigan made the right move when they hired Rich Rodriguez. The way the coaching search progressed, we were feeling pretty low. But now...you have lifted our spirits and we couldn't be more excited about the future of Michigan football!"
Fear,what the heck are you mumbuling about, Fear ? What would OSU have to fear ? Are you nuts ?
I'm glad you guys are going to the "Sread Option". All of the "spread Option offense teams", this season have at least 2 losses and most have 3 or more, and NONE of them made it to the "Big Dance".
Oregon had the best spread option offense this year, but, where are they ?, and how many losses do they have since Dixon went out ?
The spread is the most vulnerable offense there is. The QB goes down, and the team goes with him.
Even the Spreads that did'nt lose there QB like the Gators, for instance. Tebow had 51 TDs, "22 running aand 29 passing" {only 2 of his TD passes were over 10 yds} but even with 51 TDs and a Heisman trophy, the Gators still had 3 losses and no BCS Bowl.
It's only going to get worse next year now that defenses have seen what happened at Oregon, WVa and other spread offense teams.
Defenses will now be like sharks that smell blood in the waters. Send your QB up the middle and he is fair game, the same as a TB, he no longer has the protection he has in the back field, or in the pocket. The refs are not going to penalize LBs that rack up a QB, when he takes off across the line of scrimmage, on every other play. He will become a TARGET, especially now that "Ds" know that if the QB goes down, the Spread is "DONE" and it's, "Game Over".
