The Wolverine Curse

How was your weekend as a Michigan fan? Ya, mine too.

It started out well with a report from ESPN GameDay that Les Miles was a lock to come to Michigan and for a bonus one of the top Defensive Coordinators in the country was joining him.

That is when the good news ended and bad just started to roll in.

The Curse Starts:
1) LM is forced by LSU to agree to a contract before the game. Les had 3 choices, 1) agree before the LSU game for Big $$$$$, 2) after the SEC game for less $$$, 3) next week for even less $$. The report by ESPN forced Les hand to agree to the deal.

Update: Mgoblog is reporting that Les would have been fired if he showed interest in the Michigan job before the SEC Championship game. He called Michigan to give them the update and Michigan declined to offer him the job. So with out the Michigan job being a lock and with the embarrassment of being fired before the game, Les took the money from LSU. This seems to make some sense, but I'm not sure LSU would have fired their head coach before the game, mostly with Bo leaving for Nebraska the next day.

2) Tommy Amaker who has been causing Michigan Basketball Team to lose over the past 5 years. Did it again!

3) LSU wins the game, Mizzu loses, WVU loses. Which causes a BCS Mess

4) Michigan top rival becomes the #1 team in the nation and will play against the coach that took the money instead of his "dream job".

5) Michigan learns it's going to a New Years Day bowl against the worst possible match up for them in the top 25, the University of Florida. This will be a blood bath and LC will go out with 3 losses in a row.

6) Ron English is interviewing with Arkansas for their HC job.

I thought bad things came in 3's not 5 or 6's? Anyway, the Les Mess was fun and weird at the same time. After some thought, I think he is a little too crazy for Ann Arbor. The "Have a Great Day" comment had evil in it.

OSU to the championship game isn't that bad either, since we support the Big Ten and they got 2 teams in the BCS. What I don't understand is how in the world the Citrus Capital One Bowl is a good fit for Michigan? This is terrible, Michigan and the Big Ten office should have found a winnable game for Lloyd to go out on. Not one where Michigan is so over matched.

Bill Martin, I hope your not asleep at the wheel because this has been the worst possible weekend for you.

Does this mean anything?

"Our team in extremely excited for the opportunity to play a great Florida team,'' Carr said during a teleconference. "I've known (Florida coach) Urban Meyer for a long time. Certainly he's done a great job since he went to Florida.''

I would love Urban. That would be my 1st choice. But there are two chances that would happen slim and none. Mostly now that we are playing them in the Who cares bowl.

Martin has contacted Brady Hoke at Ball State. He has not officially contacted Greg Schiano at Rutgers who are headed to the International Bowl in Toronto. To play Ball State.
