The Reign of Error

PrintIt looks like today or tomorrow will be the end of Rich Rodriguez at Michigan. Even if not, this will be the end of Defensive Coordinator Greg Robinson at Michigan. And that made me think back about this quick prediction (from a bowl projection column) that I fired off 24 months ago upon his hiring.
I'm tempted to move Michigan back to the couch after their signing of Greg Robinson, but I won't go that far. You watch, there will be a game that they lose this year because his defense will play to soft in coverage in the 4th Quarter. He will defend the scheme by stating that it would have worked if the players executed properly. He will be wrong, of course. I lived in Kansas City during his reign of error, and watched his flailings in Austin and Syracuse. UM will regret this hire.
Godspeed, Greg Robinson. The Big Ten (outside of Ann Arbor) will miss you.

Never in the field of college football

Oh wait, that’s not laughing, it’s crying. Gotcha.

Ouch...
That probably hurts as bad as losing to a non-AQ school…

It wasn't a BAD loss.
TCU was undefeated, and their 3rd down defense was spectacular. Of course, Wisconsin still gashed a unit that averaged 220 yards for 386, but they came up empty in the redzone one time too many.

Losing to Arkansas would crush your soul
about as much as the Bears winning the Super Bowl, right?

Bears or Packers wouldn't bother me, truth be told
Doesn’t really get under my skin. At the end of the day, it’s just a game.

As far as college QBs go
I don’t know who the Vikings will go with. That HAS to be a concern. Joe Webb is still very much the flavor of the day, but is he the QB of the future? I don’t think so.

Compare that to Anderson Russell's EPIC FAIL in the Fiesta Bowl...

Fixed this
That probably hurts as bad as losing to a non-AQ school…that you totally should have beaten.
So what if I tailgate to the NPR jazz station?
UF 2005 and UT 2006 would like to have a word with you about teams you TOTALLY should have beaten.

For the record
2007 Tennessee AND 2004 Georgia fit into that discussion; Wisconsin hung pretty well with both of those teams and lost both games. One of the most maddening things ever…
We still pounded 7th ranked Auburn in 2005 and exposed Arkansas as “not really THAT good” in 2006, but the 2007 Outback Bowl remains one of the most aggravating losses of my life.

2005 UT was in the national championship game
as was 2006 UF, for better or for worse…

It should have
because Iowa played 2005 UF in the 2006 Outback Bowl and 2006 UT in the 2006 Alamo Bowl. They were in both games and got absolutely hosed.

TCU is in no way a bad loss.
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left-hand side.
Bradley-Terry rankings for college football and basketball: because there aren't enough computer rankings already.
GERG!!!!!!
More frequently than an alcoholic diabetic, Ohio State pisses excellence, week in and week out

that won’t ever be not funny.

A presumptive farewell to the 3-2-who formation
I've been in love (truly) with five women, the Spanish Republic and the 4th Infantry Division.

Florida friend is telling me
That there’s no way Les Miles goes to UM… he’s too setup at LSU.
I told her if Harbaugh isn’t interested then I’d be willing to take odds on Miles forsaking the Tigers and the S-E-C.
Will a Sugar Bowl Thread for tomorrow suffice?
Scheduled to hit the site an hour prior to kickoff.
