Coach O Show

Lloyd Carr decided that he has had enough of Michigan football. I don't blame him either. On Saturday the Wolverines lost to the Buckeyes 14-3, and that marked the 4th straight year that the Buckeyes got the best of Lloyd and the Wolverines. Michigan is one of those schools with a ton of tradition. With that comes big expectations. It seemed like Carr was always on the hot seat every season, but his ass had to have been on fire after starting off the season by losing to Appalachian State. The following week the Wolverines were blown out by Oregon, and here came the "Fire Lloyd Carr" websites and t-shirts. Michigan rattled off 8 wins in a row before losing to Wisconsin and Ohio State.

Now, think about this, Carr went 121-40 as a head coach at Michigan. But when it came down to the big games, the Wolverines couldn't get it done. Under Carr, Michigan has gone 5-7 in bowl games (lost last 4) and 6-7 against the Ohio State (also lost last 4). Carr did win a national title in 1997 and he won 5 Big Ten titles. Not good enough says Michigan fans.

Michigan's AD, Bill Martin, said that he has 20 candidates in mind as a replacement. Obviously, that yank Les Miles is the front runner. Hey Les, take the job. You are probably seeing the best team you will ever see at LSU right now. Get you title and get the hell out of that crazy ass state. As much as it pains me to say this, I have to admit that Lou Holtz was right when he was talking to Cowherd this morning. Lou said that Alabama, Auburn, Miss State, Georgia, and Florida will all be much improved next season, and the SEC will be tougher. The only team to beat in the Big Ten is Ohio State. OSU is beatable, just ask CRZ and the Illini.

Can we please stop with the Tom Brady love fest? I get it, you and your team are really good. All I hear is, "what motivates Brady to be so darn good?" Brady always replies, "I was a 6th round draft pick, I want to show all those team that passed on me they were wrong." I don't want to say that you deserved that spot, but you weren't that special of a player in college. Wait a minute Covino, before you whack me, hear me out. Brady was a good quarterback in college, not a great one. I will be the first one to admit (well at least the 10,000th person) that Brady is the best QB in the NFL right now, but he was at best a good college QB. Jesse Palmer was picked in the 4th round, but do you hear him complaining? No, he let his looks take him to the top.

The city of Boston has been riding high lately, that is until Sunday. That's right, the beloved New England Revolution were defeated by the Houston Dynamo in the MLS final. For those of you with no culture, I'm talking about Major League Soccer. We all know that Boston has the best baseball team EVER and the best NBA team EVER, but not soccer. Nope, the best soccer team EVER resides in Houston. The home of steer, queers, and culture.

Have a blessed day.
