Carr is 102-34 in 11 years with five Big Ten championships and one national championship.
Pretty good.

What other team has 5 Big Ten championships in those 11 years?

Michigan has I believe 3 national championships in the last 50 years. One of those is in the last 11. If one national championship in 10 years is only "pretty good," what do they want for "very good?" Has any team won more than one national championship in 10 years? Maybe Florida State did. Who won the Florida-Florida State re-match after the 1996 season?

I don't think that's right. Wasn't their last NC before '97 around '47?

How can you not root for that face? Hang in there Lllloyd.

Since they began voting on Champions (instead of compiling "historical" champions) Michigan has won 2..

Interesting note from wiki:

Several universities claim more championships than are listed above (e.g. Michigan claims 11 national championships).

Michigan's bowl run would be much longer were it not for the Big 10's rule that only the conference champ could go to a bowl. Thank God that got changed.

The streak could have been up to 7 years longer. They had a losing season in 1967.

We need to start a petition to save Carr's job for a few more years. He could get replaced and then we'd have to pick on someone new. I fear change.

I'm down with that! Carr needs a 10 year contract extension.

C'mon, he has been trying real hard to let us catch up in wins. He is just trying to even the series.......

IVoyd needs our support. After all, he's a nice guy and he is kind to small animals.

I remember a thread last year where everyone was invited to predict who scUM's 4 (or 5) losses would come against. Isn't it about time to bump that one back up?

We need some positive articles for Lloyd.

How is stating the obvious considered news? We've all known for years he sucks!

I bet he woops ND this year, which will buy him clemency...

till November

That would be a good thing. Notre Dame will have their hands full this year with TSUN.

Remember that we don't want him run out of Ann Arbor, at least just yet!

I'm pretty sure that you're right (and the fact that BKB confirms your facts helps). I must have been having a brain fart. I was thinking of the number of undefeated seasons that Michigan has had. I'm pretty sure that it's three since 1950.

But my point remains the same: In 10 years, he has as many national championships as Ohio State, USC, LSU, Oklahoma, Miami, Tennessee and Texas. Ok - his was a half of a championship. But by that argument, USC would have 1-1/2 championships. So, whatever. The point is that Florida State might be the only team with two national championships in that time. But the more I think of it, they might only have just the one national championship. (Again, I can't remember if Florida or Florida State won their re-match after the 1996 season.) And since he has five Big Ten championships in eleven years, I don't think Buckeye fans should be using that stat to call Lloyd only "pretty good."
