Wouldn't it be great if Michigan beat Notre Dame!

Last year was a disappointing year for us Michigan fans. Lloyd Carr retired and Rich Rodriguez was named head coach. Coach Rod came from West Virginia and had been successful where ever he coached. He lead Michigan to the worst season ever 3 - 9. It was embarrassing.
The usual problem with being a bad team is that your good players desert you for other schools and recruiting is a bitch. Now we are the bottom of the heap (ranked #38) and in a classic rebuilding year.
Coach Rod utilizes the spread offense which is what most college teams have been using as of late and he is somewhat known for being quite an inovator of the system. Last week, Michigan handily beat Western Michigan, a good MAC school but a MAC school. This week, we get to see them play a decent team in Notre Dame. This is kind of a must win situation since Michigan was the doormat of the Big Ten last year and a continuation of losing to good schools could lead this young team to a downward spiral. Go Blue!
