You have stripped your program of its tradition by tearing down a system that best prepares its athletes for the NFL. You chose a coach based on his ability to win, disregarding the manner in which he does. There is honor in losing with character. Ironically, I don't even think you are going to get empty wins.
You have abandoned the core principles that made up Michigan. You don't have to change century old traditions because you are bringing in a new coach. As unimpressive as I believe Les Miles to be, he was a far more qualified candidate, even before he won the championship.
I feel for you, because you have a legitimate reason to be angry. Hell, I have a reason to be angry. This takes away from our rivalry that has helped so much to define both our Universities, even the Big Ten. I hope for your sake, as well as the Big Ten's that his tenure will be short and the damage is not irreparable, even if you can't recognize the position your in yourself.

Man this is over the top. The world must be ending! Hopefully the damage isn't irreparable? This post reads like a Hallmark movie....man I love this thread.
Justin, is one heckuva player. Regardless of whether or not he woulda/shoulda/coulda said the things he said, I'm sure he's a solid young man and tOSU would be fortunate to have him as a walk-on. I mean..walk on...if that happens...wow.
