HOW TO KILL A ROCK STAR

The 1990s were my college and early 20s decade, which means I was lucid for the entirety of the John Cooper era. If I live long enough to be pulled into the throes of dementia the memories of that decade will remain deeply etched into my limbic system. It is a physiological certainty.

Family members will become strangers, primitive language will seem foreign, but the mere mention of Tai Streets will cause me to shout uncontrollably and throw my bowl of oatmeal against the wall of the sanitarium. I will forget my own name but be able to spell Biakabutukawithout looking it up.

The ornaments that adorn the era's tombstone are insulting. Two Heisman Trophy winners from Ohio, who were especially hurtful when facing Ohio State. Four squandered Rose Bowl opportunities. T-S-H-I-M-A-N-G-A B-I-A-K-A-B-U-T-U-K-A. Bo Schembechler retiring and replacing himself with a former Buckeye captain who was undefeated against Michigan as a player. It felt as traitorous as it was humiliating.

Fans can think however they want, but the moment the football program takes its foot off Michigan's neck, Michigan is going to spring right back, title contender or not.

CHARLES WOODSON IS WRONG – A TALENT GAP IS TO BLAME FOR MICHIGAN'S WOES IN THE GAME

93343_h.jpg


I actually don't mind Charles Woodson all that much.

An Ohio guy, it still stings that he chose to take his talents up north but I've always respected his contributions to the rivalry; he was a hell of a player and as intense a competitor as you'll find.

Just like Buckeyes gone by, Woodson still has a deep affinity for his university and as you've read by now, recently noted his disdain for what he believes is Michigan's lack of emphasis on The Game compared to back in his day.

“To be quite honest I really feel like over the years, in recent years, there hasn’t been the emphasis that I’m used to being put on that game,” Woodson said.

“Every game has been out on the same level of that game and that’s not the way we were brought up, that’s not the way we were raised around here. And we had no shame in saying it.”

"It's not for a lack of player or talent or coaching, you've got to be able to finish. In my opinion, it's the focus you put on that game that allows you to finish. We've got to get back to that."

Woodson himself enjoyed some stellar times against the Buckeyes under Lloyd Carr and I'm sure loyalty to his old coach kept him from feeling like Carr's 1-6 record against Jim Tressel had anything to do with fire in the ole belly.

No matter, you get the feeling Woodson's comments were directed toward either Jim Harbaugh's regime, or just as likely, the trifecta of Rich Rodriguez, Brady Hoke and Harbaugh considering their combined nine losses in 10 tries since Carr hung up his whistle (6-7 overall).

Still just as true today......
