UPDATE: Uh-oh! CMU, EMU and now WMU in big trouble thanks to Rich Rod!

Re: Uh-oh! Cental Michigan, or some other smaller football program, in trouble

If not Harbaugh, there are several others out there with ties to the Bo-Mo-Lloyd years, like Terry Malone and Scot Loeffler. It'll be interesting to see who ends up at U-M. I don't see Les Miles leaving LSU, though. I think he alienated too many people, and why would he leave a plum job in the nation's best conference?

If Scot Loefler is the next head coach at Michigan I am going to rip my eyes out of my head, and arbitrarily start rooting for a new team, like Penn State.

Morgan Trent was a hero? We weren't watching the same football games!

His comments could now be easily turned into a positive: "I know some things were done inappropriately here in the past, and I know they need to be changed."

Michigan's "academic standards" have been a fraud for many years, anyway.

Hero as in a "hero to zero" sense. And, yeah, people loved Morgan Trent as a senior - seemed to buy into the whole RR regime, great representative of the university, local kid done good, etc.

I know Loeffler, I like Loeffler. Not as a head coach, not at Michigan.

Detroit Free Press had a story today on how recruit Demar Dorsey - who has had his share of legal troubles in Florida - has signed with Michigan AND a Kansas juco, in case he can't play at Michigan.

Yes, it's the same kid that AnnArbor.com's Dave Birkett mocked (crossthread).

Judas Priest.

 

Re: Uh-oh! Cental Michigan, or some other smaller football program, in trouble

Is this even news? I read somewhere that this is common practice for kids to sign at JUCO's just in case.

 

Re: Uh-oh! Cental Michigan, or some other smaller football program, in trouble

In my experience with JuCos, which hasn't been much in the last 10 years (though I once was SID at one), players don't actually sign there until they officially fail to qualify. But JuCos will hold scholarship spots open for four-year signees they figure are not on track to qualify.

More bad news for the maize and blue: ESPN is reporting that the NCAA is investigating DickRod's days at West Virginia:

When, oh when, is new U-M AD David Brandon - a Bo disciple - going to cut bait?
