Michigan Football at an All-time Low Point

Ok, so Michigan fans thought it was bad when they lost to Appalachian State in week 1. While I will not argue the fact that at that point, that was the worst day in Michigan Football in my twenty years as a fan of the Blue and Gold powerhouse. I will now argue, however, that today is the worst day in the storied history of Michigan football. Michigan followed their loss to D II App St. (ya I know it's got a new name, who cares) with an absolutely unbearable performance against Oregon. The game was over very early, and the defensive backs for the Wolverines seemed non existence as Oregon went "Madden on Rookie level" and threw 50 yard passes with ease without a DB in sight.

As if all this was not bad enough, today Michigan fans get the news that Chad Henne will not play versus Notre Dame on Saturday. Chad Henne is not an All-American, in fact at times he is flat out average, but Ryan Mallet is a true freshman. I feel bad for Mallet right now, everyone else on the team is getting what they deserve, but Mallet drew the shortest straw and now must suffer the consequences of the rest of the team's actions. Notre Dame has been terrible, possibly even worse than Michigan, but with Mallet at QB it is very possible that Michigan is looking in the face of an 0-3 start.

The only positive I can think of at this time is that the Lloyd Carr 1976 football era may be coming to an end finally. Lloyd has had a decent resume put together in his Michigan tenure, but he is a stubborn bastard who refuses to make any adjustments to all of the changes that are being made in the college football world. Now we can all pray for Les Miles or Rich Rodriguez. Pray with me people, something needs to happen.

As for now, I am ready to hit fast forward on the college football season. Put Florida and USC in the title game and then wake me up when next season starts.
