Mallet is running the option right now..... Between Michigan and Some other college that is.. haha
Yes I agree Sandgk Michigan with a man who understood the rivalry was always good against OSU but once they lost BO (RIP) they really haven't mounted to much. The 90's didn't prove Carr understood us but IMO proved that Cooper didn't know what the hell to do with UM. I think understanding and being embeded into the rivalry makes a bigger impact than what is being stated from the UM perspective.

haha... being near Va Tech I know all too well about the WVU fan base. They are with out a doubt one of the worst fan bases out there as far as how they treat opposing teams...

umm... it's the head coach that does the indoctrinating. in the absense of that passion (sourcing from the leadership), it'll be hard for the players to just pluck it out of the air.
as someone who was at tOSU through most of the cooper years and still remembers that bitter taste, i can say that the only thing that gave me any sense of the intensity of the history of the rivarly was our [censored]-poor record during those years. coop, all the while, just insisted that it's just another game in an attempt to make the whole nightmare go away.

I remember thinking the same thing the day Coop was hired.

Interesting quote from an Ivan Maisel article:
Quote:
|
Brown refused to comment on the salary or the length of the contract that the two sides have agreed to pursue.
|
(Brown being RRs agent.) There is no signed contract in place. Although I am sure they agreed on general numbers, I might suggest UM is in a very strong bargaining position right now. |

Mallet ran the spread in high school.
RichRod runs the spread option as his offense.
If you dont know the difference, watch the Illinois vs. Missouri game. Illinois runs a spread option, Missouri runs a spread.
Mallet cannot run a spread option offense because Mallet can't run period.
There is no one currently on UM's roster who could effectively run a spread option the way RR wants to. He will have to recruit a player who can run a spread-option or change his offense, which he hasn't ever shown he is capable of doing.

Or how they treat their own, for that matter.
