Ah, I should not have opened this thread. I lost my son in 2009 . . . he was grown, in his 20s, but . . . well, there is just nothing worse. Stuff like this just knocks me right back to my knees. All my sympathies to the Carr family. Now must go figure out how to get through the evening. Taking the daughter out to dinner, I think. Making her laugh, watching her smile should get me through.

And @Abenaki - yeah, it's scary, but it's worth it. It's not like I wouldn't do it all over again. Heck, I'd give anything to do it all over again. Congrats and best wishes to you.

Rest in peace Chad. You've suffered enough.

Thanks. And I'm sorry for your loss as well. I hope you were able to take your daughter out and cherish every moment.

Carr was one of about six to eight finalists considered by the CFP management committee, which is comprised of the 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick.

The CFP is expected to announce the four new committee members later this month.

UM’s Lloyd Carr ‘excited’ about CFP appointment

Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr has spent the years since his retirement following the 2007 season trying to be “just a fan” of college football.

Beginning this spring, he will again play a major role in the sport.

Carr, a College Football Hall of Fame member after a 13-year career as Michigan’s head coach, winning a national title in 1997, is one of four new members to the College Football Playoff committee, it was announced Thursday. They will serve three-year terms beginning this spring.

Along with Carr, the new members appointed by the CFP management committee are, longtime Central Michigan coach Herb Deromedi, former Southern Mississippi coach Jeff Bauer and Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens. They replace Mike Gould, Pat Haden, Tom Osborne and Mike Tranghese, whose two-year terms – the first two years of the CFP – have expired.

I don't understand this "can Meyer sneak up on the big boys, and he is a mid major coach" BS.

Our head coach came from D1AA. I don't think he had any history of sneaking up on the "big boys" either. The hipocracy kills me.

Urban Meyer has been a head coach at 2 unknown schools, and has brought them both up into the upper echelon of college football without the facilities, money, or tradition of a major school. I think that looks pretty good.

Imagine what he can do with a good recruiting base, a top notch school, and top notch facilities.

Was reading through from the first page and came upon this beauty from page 7...yeah, just imagine.

Why? I think he's still required by law to run all of his decisions through Tressel.
