P.S. Aren't babies supposed to stop crying when you shake them repeatedly? Guess it doesn't work on Carr.

completely Off Topic, but if a baby stops crying after you shake it, it's most like because you have just given it a concussion... don't shake babies... their little brains rattle around in their skulls, and then swell up... in some cases the brain swells so much that it peirces itsself on the spinal column... don't shake babies...

back On Topic... Fuck LLLLoyd... he's a whiny bitch, and always has been...

scUM is not firing Carr anytime soon. Here's why:

a.) Carr's scUM teams do the exact same thing as Schembechler's teams. They lose an early season game or two every season, and are normally not in Title contention come November. The only difference? Carr tripped and fell over a National Title, and Schembechler did not. In fact, other than 1997, can you remember the last time a scUM team went into early/mid-November undefeated and in contention for a National Title? I can't ... early 80's, late 70's maybe? Advantage: Carr.

b.) Ohio State kept John Cooper around for 13 years through a 2-10-1 stretch against scUM. Considering the facts that Ohio State fans hated him from Day 1, we criticize our head coaches much more than the fans up North do, he was ALMOST as awful in Bowl games as he was against dUMb, and flat out: we CARE much, much more about the rivalry than scUM fans do, I'd think its safe to say Carr can survive a long stretch of implosions against the Bucks. If Coop could survive 13 years, Carr is probably good for twice that.

And oh yeah, Carr won a National Championship and Cooper didn't - even more reason to give him the edge.

Plus, if y'all recall, it took the Program's off the field issues to become a problem before OSU fired Cooper. Carr runs a sqeaky clean program. Advantage: Carr.

I think its tough to judge Carr as a coach - he walked into a situation where his toughest opponent & most critical rival was already beaten before the season began. It also glossed up his resume against Top 5 teams b/c it was a given that he could upset a Top 5 Cooper team no matter what. I also (to this day) contend that he doesn't have his National Title if John Cooper wasn't the coach at OSU. What does all this mean? I dunno ... but Carr ain't goin anywhere.

1997 notwithstanding, the only time since the Woody Hayes-era that UM has reached November untied and undefeated was 1986, when Schembechler's 9-0 team finally fell at home to Minnesota in mid-November.

Prior to that though, a great run of Michigan teams saw undefeated seasons die at the hands of Woody's Buckeyes. The 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1974 Michigan teams went 0-3-1 against Ohio State and undefeated against everyone else.

Destressing exercise

1. Sit in a soft chair or recline on a couch.
2. Relax. Lower the lights in the room and remove all distractions
3. Pretend for a moment that John Cooper is coaching the Buckeyes and we have lost to TSUN once again.
4. Live in that moment. Remember the anguish, anger, and pain you felt.
5. Now, take a deep breath.
6. Remembering that Coop is now gone to other pursuits and Lllloyd Cooper is now coaching TSUN, exhale your troubles and send them to Michigan, where they belong.
7. Exhale again. Think happy thoughts and remember, just one year from now, we can do this all over again!

You can add 1975 scUM to that list, Dry. They had 2 early ties, but came into The Game undefeated and ranked #4.
