And now to rag on Michigan

So it's been a horrible season, we knew that the offense would suck, but to see the defense as bad as it's been was a surprise. But should the offense sucking be a real surprise? Looking at last year's stats UofM had one of the worst offenses in the Big 10, yes even with all the NFL talent they were still one of the worst, and damnit I didn't know that. The defense last year was just as bad, but this year they couldn't rely on the offense to do anything. But the worst part of this season was reading Brandon Minor's comments after the OSU game:

"You can't really blame Rich Rod because everybody on the team did not buy in like they're supposed to. We have a couple of guys not going hard," he said. "We'll correct that most definitely. That ain't going to happen on my watch as a senior."
So the team quit on their coach early, some probably stayed because they couldn't play anywhere else, but why the hell quit on your coach/team? Why couldn't the coach get them to paly, why couldn't you sit the guys who didn't want to play for you? So after reading Minor's comments, does the real rebuilding start next year? I mean if the players don't want to play for you, and there will be departures, will next year be the same as this year, or do we start seeing some players that RRod actually wants. But to his credit even getting blown out at least the team didn't look like they gave up yesterday. The bright spot is he started 3-8 at West Virginian, and we all know what happened there, so it might be fun to watch two good teams in Michigan again.

So let the crybaby Michigan comments commence.
