Well the hangover has subsided and here are some thoughts on this abortion of a football season:

1. Whoever said that Miles would not leave LSU and that most Michigan fans want is off on both, I think. Everything I've read about him indicates that he would heavily consider going to Ann Arbor. Similarly, every fan blog and site I've read lists him as a possibility (obviously), but not as someone anybody really wants due to him not being all that great of a coach, rumored ethical problems, being a loudmouth jackass at times, and being one of the only people connected to Bo still coaching. A lot of people want an absolute change.

2. As far as other coaches go, anyone have any ideas? We've all heard names like Tedford, Petersen, Miles, etc. being thrown out there. Anyone have any other ideas? Qualifications include someone who runs an interesting offense, has not been consistently ripped by the spread, and actually watches videos of their first opponent during the offseason. I'm personally hoping Mary Sue Coleman gives a BJ to Steve Sarkisian to get him to come, but that's just me.

3. We finally don't have to face a spread next week, but Henne is doubtful to play and if we lose to Notre Dame I'm going to go kill some Catholics or something. That team sucks so bad and I was looking forward to them as a possible stepping stone to a semi-functional football team.

4. Here's where we stand on our preseason goals:

National Title: lol
Big 10 Title: Possible in a theoretical sense only
Winning Record: I don't know. Maybe.
Beat Rivals: ND blows, but Henne is out as mentioned above. Clausen/Mallett games begin much sooner than anyone though. Beating OSU is straight up laughable at this point, but they did suck vs. Akron and the game is a million years away, so we'll see. MSU game is going to be super tough.

Bowl Projetion: Motor City Bowl

Amount of alcohol consumed yesterday due to loss: 4 rum and cokes, 10 beers, and 2 vodka sprites.

Amount of feeling in my extremities after consuming said alcohol: None.

I've been there NozeCandy...Illinois losing at home to Penn State in bball to lose a share of 3 straight big11ten titles did it to me


anyway, as an Illinois fan, I'll be praying that MIchigan goes the Les Miles direction

I read an interesting name on an Michigan blog today: Jon Gruden. Allegedly he once said that Michigan would be one of his dream jobs. I had never heard that before, so I am not sure if there is any truth to it. If he has worn out his welcome in Tampa, and is interested, what do you guys think? I have mixed feelings on Gruden, but I seriously doubt he is a possibility.

I just saw the line for the UM-ND game. Michigan -9.5

Considering Henne is likely out, I thought it would be -3 or 4. Can Michigan beat anybody by more than 10 points?

[NozeCandy]

I actually have heard Gruden's name thrown out there. As someone who has not watched much of Tampa play under him, what kind of coach is he? If someone could fill me in with some info about Tedford too, that'd be great. I'm usually solidly drunk by the time Cal games come on and can't pay attention.
