    Being reviled is a great thing. It means you are relevant. Michigan once was reviled... not anymore.

    They'll be back

    You do have a lot of animosity towards Michigan for beating up on them the last few years

    Maybe a good cry will help ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee925OTF ... re=related

    I will always have animosity towards Michigan and the SEC.

    Michigan will eventually get back. I don't think Brady Hoke is the right hire. Michigan better hope he is the right hire. Last thing you want to become is Notre Dame.

    This is why tOSU has joined programs like Duke, Notre Dame, and USC as being among the most reviled in the country. At least tOSU rusn a clean program and has not had any NCAA violations....oh wait a minute. They had 5 guys play in the sugar bowl that should not have. Should have lost to the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC.

    Michigan made a mistake buying into RichRods spread when they did not have the players to run it, and thinking it would only take a year or two to install it. You can see why they were enamored with it when they saw how tOSU kept getting crushed by better teams from the SEC using the spread. They should have gone with Les Miles 3 years ago and made a mistake not doing that. Hoke looks to be the right choice if they give him and his coaches the time to rebuild the program.

    the 5 guys suspensions for selling personal belongings is bs. they sold private property.

    as for RichRods offense. his biggest problem was going into a situation with players not designed for his offense. he shouold have kept the pro offense that was there and transitioned to his spread over time. you have to run an offense that hte players are built for.

    just look at the ohio offense since tress took over. they went pure power I early one, transitioned to a wide open offense with Smith, back to a power I with Beanie, and now back to more wide open under pryor. that's what good coachs do. they adpat to the players on the roster in any given year, they don't try and fit square pegs in round holes.

    right.people seem to forget that Bo was a coach under Woody. Did that make Bo a "Michigan Man"? That phrase is bullshit. What you need is someone with a connection to a school or program. One who understands the boosters and fans. Unless of course your goal is to toally alienate your program from your core base.

    Justice Department opens antitrust inquiry into college bowl processBy the CNN Wire Staff
    Assistant Attorney General Varney seeks an explanation

    (CNN) -- In a letter to the NCAA on Wednesday, the Justice Department said it has opened an antitrust inquiry into the current Bowl Championship Series system, which excludes some athletic conferences from the formula for choosing schools to play in major bowl games.

    Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney scheduled a meeting with reporters to discuss the move. Millions of dollars in revenue are at stake in the football bowl selection process.

    "Serious questions continue to arise suggesting that the current BCS system may not be conducted consistent with the competition principles expressed in federal antitrust laws," Varney told Mark Emmert, president of the NCAA in Indianapolis.

    The decision to release the letter came hours after Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a major opponent of the current system, demanded further consideration of the issue in a face-to-face appearance with Attorney General Eric Holder at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Holder then disclosed the Justice Department had sent the letter to the NCAA on the issue.

    In her letter, Varney asked Emmert to explain why college football does not have a playoff when so many other college sports do. She also asked what steps, if any, the NCAA has taken to create a playoff, and whether the NCAA has determined that there are aspects of the BCS system that do not serve interests of fans, colleges, universities, and players.

    Currently, the BCS system limits automatic bids to the winners of the Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, ACC, Pac 10 and SEC, thereby leaving out other conferences, including almost all schools in the Rocky Mountain region.

    nah when the BCS schools drop out of the NCAA and start their own organization there will be no sanctions. and that is coming within the next few years. when they start talking about paying players like they are now it is getting closer by the day. and when they do college sports will be officially ruined for good.

    did anybody catch that the BCS was looking at a 4 team playoff? School atheletic directors voted in favor of it, but presidents control the final vote. at least it is movement in the right direction

    yeah the pac-12 (weird to write that) and big 10 are starting to exert their power...it will probably be another couple years but even if they do it, most people will still hate it
