Disgruntled and Lost all Hope Fan, Initials are MMQ.....


Sparty:   Sparty On!  2 consecutive victories in the Dantonio era....You
won a game that last year might have gone the other way, according to the
reports and clips I saw....Bowling Green is legit, and was a good preseason
test.   Pitt will challenge you even more and determine what the rest of
the season could look like....All I know is that suddenly, the sky is
turning Green and White, Honolulu Blue and Silver, and I don't know
why.....

Cornhuskers:   Escaped with the victory.....another 2-0 team that deserves
mention.   Can you handle the Rubbers at home?  Shock the WORLD Baby - be
the App State of Division 1A and take down those pesky west
coasters....Help remind them which side of the country Football Started on,
even if you are in the midwest......

Gatorland.....Yeah, yeah 2-0....Your season doesn't really start until
Saturday.....And the Cremesicles owe you REVENGE....But you are in the
Swamp, so you should be able to handle them....But October 6th will be the
true test when Next Michigan Head Coach Les Miles and the LSU Tiger Fans
make you rethink how good you are....

LSU - This is the MMQ's newly adopted team, based on the fact that an old,
died in the wool, Bo Schembechler player turned coach can actually LEARN a
thing or two about the modern game and use them quite effectively.  Pass on
first down, mix up the calls, and attack a defense with a sound game
plan....All things that Michigan needs RIGHT NOW....Bill Martin, Are you
Watching LSU and TALKING TO LES MILES?  He is a Michigan Man......

Auburn - OOOOPS.......Hey - USF is a pretty good team......I don't think we
have any Auburn Tigers on the list, but in case it gets forwarded to a
closet Auburn Tiger Fan....Eventually, Tommy Twotone is going to need to
find an offense....All the defense in the world won't win a game for you,
and won't clinch the SEC.....

Division IIA

Appalachian State - Continued to Roll in Division IIA with a victory of
48-7 over Lenoir Rhyme.........Didn't see any highlights, but it looks like
they are for real....

Domers - Total Rushing yards this Season  (-8).  Please read that as Minus
8.   Not 8. Now, I know expectations for the Domers was not that high and
quite a few of your victories last year were smoke and mirrors....but
geez....You must all be wondering if the money you spent on C. Wuzzles was
well spent.....But, I am guessing that Weis takes a long look at video this
week and tries to put a passing attack together that resembles some sort of
spread offense....JUST A HUNCH, Lloyd......I don't know which program is a
bigger disaster right now you or....

The Lamerines.....Well, here we are, 0-2 on the season, and hopes are
sinking faster than.....I had several cliches I was going to put in here,
but I can't really think of one that describes how fast, exactly, hopes are
sinking - with the exception that hopes are sinking faster than an 0-2
Lamerine team that has a D2 loss on it's record............I had the
opportunity to witness this debacle in person and I have some questions
that I would like to put in an open letter to Lloyd Carr:

Dear Lloyd:

1.  Did you know Oregon would pass?  A Lot? And run some Gimmick Plays?  I
mean, that's all they had to go on after what App State did to you.....

1.5  And if in last week's practice, you discovered that you couldn't cover
the pass, even with the Free Safety lining up at times, 20 yards behind the
line of scrimmage, did you ever consider just blitzing the crap out of the
Ducks and giving up the Big Play in a different way?  I mean, hell, if your
going to let them go and throw deep into triple coverage, at least don't
embarrass the WHOLE defense by letting them get beat deep when they have
triple coverage....Just a thought....

2.  Did you know that last year, OSU had 9 new starters on Defense?  I
don't recall them giving up 624 yards in any game last season.....Strange
how good coaches re-load with top ten recruiting classes without missing a
beat....So, are the guys who rate these recruiting classes just that bad,
or are you somehow not developing the talent that shows up? Or are you
creating defensive schemes that these kids haven't even played in
high-school due to the fact that the game has changed a little......

3.    I know you can't fix Chad Henne's mind, and I don't know what you did
to it....I don't know if keeping the reigns on so long creates a lack of
confidence in a guy that has played 3 years....All I can think of is what
happened to the kid that was throwing for 3 scores against MSU in a triple
overtime game, threw a last second strike to Mario in the PSU game in 2005,
and has had other big game accomplishments?  What happened?  Henne couldn't
hit the broadside of a barn, was missing open guys, wasn't looking anyone
off, and was actually playing worse than he did as a freshman, sophomore,
and junior....Have you screwed that kid up so much that you've destroyed
him?  And now, it looks like he's injured....

4.  And thanks for giving the new kid a chance and mixing it up for
him....Your team is down four scores and what do you do?  Send the new guy
in to hand off twice into a stacked line  - while two wide receivers are in
single coverage...- I think I could actually see Oregon Coach Bellotti
smiling on that one - And I sit in row 74 - and then let the kid try to
throw when they dropped 6 guys back....No Lloyd, there really is no
question about what's coming when a team plays you....I am pretty sure that
I could be a "guest" defensive coach for any opposing team and tell the
team what to do and expect.....

5.  I remember Oregon being a drop back and pass, vanilla offense when
Bellotti got there....They actually looked a lot like us....Amazing how a
guy can look around and see that kids are overall better athletes, getting
faster, and bulk doesn't necessarily always win.....Hmmm....Mike adjusted
with the Oregon team.....What's Michigan going to do??

6.  Any thoughts as to why one of your captains stands up and gives the
Domers plenty of incentive to work extra hard this week by guaranteeing a
victory?  I mean, you embarrassed the Domers last year, so they are already
motivated, and then you have Hart spouting off that nonsense.....I don't
dislike Hart, but he needs to understand that there are some things that
can't be said to the press and even the most casual fans that can see a
train wreck of a season upon us......like we need another loss to go 0-3
with 9 games remaining to somehow win 7.....

So let's look at that - this fan is merely looking for 7 wins with 10 games
to go at this point in order to keep the bowl streak alive....Granted, even
the most avid fan/spin doctor will say that the Big 10 is still in our
sights, the BCS Rose Bowl is a possibility, blah, blah, blah....What I see
is a Lamerine team with no psychological center and nothing to fall back on
and if Henne is out, well, it's "Panic Time" in Ann Arbor:

App State -       L
Oregon      -     L
ND-         W (Hart guaranteed it, right?)
PSU-        L
NU          W
EMU         W
Purdue            W/L - Iffy.....These guys are scoring points right
now....and our defense is a sieve....
Illinois          W
Minnesota   W
MSU         IFFY.....Yes Sparty, you are due....it's been 6 years....
Wisconsin   L
OSU         L

Overall - 7-5....but that's a reach at this point.......


So, that means we could be playing for EVERYTHING on November 3rd (assuming
we beat Purdue and Lose to PSU).....And right now, Lloyd, I would say that
you can't pull that rabbit out of your hat....

There is so much more, but I grow weary....So, until the ghost of
Schembechler can rest after a Michigan victory,


MMQ
