"How do you put Appalachian State over Michigan as the greatest loss in history?" Jones said. "Because you're the biggest team, the best team, the most profound team. Because of that, they look at you like the world has been turned upside down.
"People are very jealous of Michigan. People have always been jealous of Michigan. If the same thing happened at Ohio State, USC or Notre Dame, they wouldn't be reacting like this (nationally), because Michigan is held to another standard. It's interesting how people say Michigan is not all that and Michigan gets beat and then people can't stop talking about it. Everybody wishes they went to Michigan."

From that same Detroit News article...

Drew Henson, former Michigan quarterback "If they fired Lloyd, you'd have 15 years of Michigan players who would blackball the guy (who fired him). Lloyd is one of the most influential men in my life."

If that is true Drew should be pretty upset with Lllloyd..he has made some poor career decisions

Jaime Morris "This (loss) doesn't define Lloyd Carr," former running back Jamie Morris said. "That's simply ridiculous. It was a bad loss, and the team was not prepared for this game. Does that define Lloyd Carr? No.

He's right about this one, he'll be defined by being owned by Tressel.

Dhani Jones "People are very jealous of Michigan. People have always been jealous of Michigan. If the same thing happened at Ohio State, USC or Notre Dame, they wouldn't be reacting like this (nationally), because Michigan is held to another standard."

This guy is out of touch with reality, plain and simple

Wow. Before reading this I would've guessed Henson & Morris were the delusional 'We're Michigan Men and blah blah blah' types, but every time I've heard Dhani Jones speak I thought he sounded better educated and well reasoned than most guys. I know Jones has his upscale bow-tie business, writes, and did his own Web site for years.

... just noticed Dhani was cut by both the Eagles and the Saints in the past two months. Damn, what the hell happened to him?!

That was great to see, but I am kinda pissed that we were dropped in both polls from 11 to 12 in the AP and 10 to 11 in the USA Today poll. But Va Tech gets a pass for barely beating East Carolina at home? They stay at 9 in both polls. :pissed:
VaTech gets a pass because of what happened in April. stupid reason, but that's what it is.

though we 'dropped a spot' in the polls, we actually gained votes in both. from 876 to 940 in the AP and from 919 to 977 in the USA Today. look at how many points separate #s 12 and 13: 204 in the AP and 152 in the USA Today... essentially, the voters picked 12 top ten teams this week. we're one them. we'll be #10 in the USA Today after LSU dismantles VaTech.

"[...] BTW, now that I've seen the replay of the Appalachian State field goal block about 300 times, I think I've finally noticed a positive for Michigan. The Wolverines kicker Jason Gingell runs pretty fast. Maybe he should get some looks at DB. [...]"
:lol:

How is Appy State given credit for being so much faster than scUM when they get run down from behind by scUM's kicker?

scUM was out-of-position, out-of-shape and couldn't tackle a snake in the open field. That's their problem. Lack of speed, especially at the kicker position, is not an issue at all.

Received this today in an email from my dad. Apparently typed by a scUM fan:

To be fair, that guy didn't miss a single defensive snap and was suffering from cramps the entire fourth quarter, and cramped up when he tried to return the field goal.

Just got an email that Hart guaranteed a ND victory in the postgame presser.
and a collective whoop-dee-doo from the vulvarine fans.

ehh... i'm sure that the fans still really, really want to beat notre ame. it's just that i'm sure that many, especially the players, are tired of his mouth.

Looks like the cocky bastard is smart enough to realize that they play NoD next week. I still wouldn't be pushing my luck if I was him....
