To the Daily:
Now that Ohio State has surpassed Michigan in nearly every major sport, what is Bill Martin going to do to change it?
Lloyd Carr, the worst game coach in the Big Ten, has single-handedly driven the Michigan football program into the ground in recent years. I do not even want to hear about how much of a classy guy he is. He is a great person but a terrible football coach. When are we going to stop losing on the quarterback draw, eh coach? It goes without mentioning that OSU has dominated us in football.
Tommy Amaker, despite all of the injuries to the basketball team, did a horrific job of getting his team ready to play for last nine games of the season. Good finish, coach! OSU has us dominated in this regard, and the future looks grim for Michigan with OSU's incredible recruiting class next year.
The hockey team is having a rough year, and split with a terrible OSU team. Michigan has looked outmatched by nearly each member of the WCHA and east coast opponents it has faced in the NCAA tournament in recent years. As a four-year season ticket holder, I saw first-hand losses to Boston College, Minnesota (many times) and Colorado College (huge collapse). We were clearly outclassed in these games.
OSU's baseball program is in much better standing than Michigan's. Let's not even talk about our women's basketball team, but OSU's is one of the best in the nation.
People can tell me that I am just whining, but I know that I am not alone in getting fed up with Michigan's continuing mediocrity in every sport. Ohio State has it figured out, and as a lifelong Michigan fan, it is sickening to see us on the losing end in most everything.
