So Northwestern is your second favorite team, what about MSU or even OSU . If Michigan plays a good team and loses, then the party is over for Rich Rod. The question is, can U of M get Jim Harbaugh? or would he leave Stanford , Yes! Michigan's administration has to suck it up and say they made a mistake and bring in a Michigan alum, IMHO!

Ugh, I'll never understand this line of thinking.

Michigan's 3 best coaches...

Yost -- West Virginia
Crisler -- Univ of Chicago
Schembechler -- Ohio State

Neither Moeller or Carr were UM grads, the last UM grad to coach Michigan was Bump Elliot and that was during the 50's and 60's in Michigan's decidedly least successful time period until the last 3 season's.

Boredatwork...you beat me to it.....My Congrats goes out to Eric Watt for making the top 10 for the Gagliardi Trophy! He most definitely deserves to be in this group.

Just a thought......I have never seen purple blood before......can't wait for the comfort on Saturday.  

I didn't see any purple blood or tears for that matter.....but I did see one heck of a football game. Congrats to Trine for putting on a performance for all the Division III world to see. Hats off to the coaching staff and all the seniors for a putting in their time for the past four years. Take in all in and take it with you as you finish out your senior year at Trine University. It was a great "comfort" knowing that these seniors became the young men they are today through the game of football......



If you get your way, you'll see purple tears!

It was a great football game. Congratulations to Trine's players and coaches.  They played REALLY WELL!  UW-W is getting pounded on these message boards because Trine did so well.  I happen to believe Trine is far better than anyone realizes. UW-W will do our best to hammer NCC to send the message for you!

sac,

I was just  thinking of Harbaugh or Miles, since UofM supportors would love a Michigan alum if possible. Not sure what top coaches would be available if Rich Rod does not last !

Any ideas?

Raider68:

IMO, Miles will not be in the running for the Michigan job.  Although Miles was an assistant at Michigan, he "burned his bridges" in the way he handled his potential candidacy last time; add to that the problems he's had at LSU. So I will be extremely surprised (and disappointed) if he is considered/placed on the list of candidates by the Michigan administration and AD.

It was an exciting game for sure!  If not for the Trine fumble near the goal line towards the end, trying hard to get the TD, the score MIGHT have been a little closer.  Our receiver has made super plays all season and almost pulled off another one.  Then an onside kick, Watt driving the team with some last second heroics, etc...etc...etc...  Sorry for dreaming a little. 

A game against UW-W is a benchmark, and Trine wants to be in that same light.  Based on how far the program has come, Trine's coaches know what they are doing, and how to get there.  Although we don't need a UW-W playoff run to validate our season, and we are willing to stand on our own merits, I do hope UW-W goes all the way and pounds everyone in its path.  I think that some of UW-W's competition wants to believe there is some chink in the Warhawk armor rather than admit Trine is better than people thought.   

Good luck Warhawks!

Uncle Rico.......It's okay to dream that's how a team starts to become great....and great they did become....you can't take that away.

bleedpurple.....You can't argue with what took place....As much as I would like another team to get to Virginia (Trine for sure) hope your prediction comes true

That's exactly what's happening. And people are underestimating both UW-W and Trine as a result.  But the truth is that Trine is good.  Really good.  Don't put it past UW-W to run the table. Imagine, UW-W beats 3 consecutive #1 seeds and then saying after the season that Trine was their toughest game! 

[Raider 68]

bleedpurple,

Trine was real good this year, no doubt. Do you really think that UWW would not have the Raiders in the back of their mind, and while many on the WIAC have not noticed Mount has steadily improved each week and the stats reflect that. At this point Mount has an easier chance to be in Salem then the Warhawks, whether they do or not, we will know soon. North Central, Wesley or MHB still pose some challenges for the Warhawks. Can they make it to Salem again, sure but a month ago the path appeared to be easier than today, IMHO!

Eric Watt, Sr. QB from Trine, is one of the 4 finalists for the Gagliardi Trophy.  Congratulations to Eric!!

Formerd3db,

Congrats on your 400th +k, here it is!!

KZOO college with almost 80 kids...outstanding effort by the Hornets staff.....I like them channeling their inner Northwestern and bringing it strong.

Now when will Irv return to Olivet.......Bring the T back baby!

Memo to the Brits........I want the early 90s back.....and until OC brings back Irv...run 80 on them....you still have that in the DNA right?

Schemechler had been an assistant at "The Ohio State University"  ; but was the head coach at Miami of Ohio before he went to Michigan. He let after my freshman year and the players who did nothing but bad mouth him before they knew he was leaving, cried like babies when they heard he wouldn't return to Miami.
