Here's an understatement: We're not going to lose," Hart said Saturday, according to the Detroit Free Press. "It is what it is.
Obviously, I talk. I talk a lot, everyone knows that.
Good Charlie Weis quote: Hearing Hart's pledge, a chagrined Charlie Weis said on Sunday,
"If I watched the [Notre Dame] games the last two weeks, I might have made the guarantee myself."
Lloyd Carr:
"I'm not surprised by anything Mike Hart says," Carr said, according to the Free Press. "Do I like it? He said it, and he's got to back it up. We've got to back him up right now, I guess.
What do you want him to say? We're not gonna win?
No just tell him to shut the fuck up!!!
Weis says there's good reason for Hart's victory pledge
College football fans looking for a top-caliber game to invest their time in Saturday can't lose by watching No. 1 USC at No. 14 Nebraska. The same probably can't be said of this season's edition of
Michigan-
Notre Dame.
By Sunday, either the Wolverines or the Fighting Irish will be 0-3. Michigan coach Lloyd Carr's job security seems shaky at best. Notre Dame hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in eight quarters.
Amid the sourness is the spice Michigan running back
Mike Hart tried to sprinkle on this weekend's game: He guaranteed a Wolverines victory in Ann Arbor.
"This team's going to be ready to go, there's no doubt in my mind. I'm not going to lose. We're not going to lose," Hart said Saturday, according to the Detroit Free Press. "It is what it is. Obviously, I talk. I talk a lot, everyone knows that. I mean what I say. It came out in there because I feel like we're being doubted. I feel like it's something we need."
That left Carr on the spot just a day after his Wolverines, who were upset by Appalachian State in their season opener, suffered their most-lopsided defeat in 39 years, 39-7 to Oregon, also at home.
"I'm not surprised by anything Mike Hart says," Carr said, according to the Free Press. "Do I like it? He said it, and he's got to back it up. We've got to back him up right now, I guess. What do you want him to say? We're not gonna win?
