This is an awful lot of talk about a season that is now 17 years old. I'd ask if we can change the subject slightly to Kordell Stewart throwing a hail mary, but I don't think that was Lloyd Carr at Head Coach that year. Maybe we should talk about the first time Michigan played an FCS team? Or "Clockgate"?

Or, since we aren't giving our friends to the east any love, we can discuss the 2 seconds Lloyd was given when they played Penn State.

I agree. Stats are for us fans to have fun with for the most part and that's about all when it comes who would beat who.
Personally, I think stats, when done well, have a decent ability to predict the most likely outcome of a hypothetical or upcoming head-to-head match-up between two teams. The problem is, they're usually not done well, and total defense, total offense, and the like are examples of stats not done well.

I don't think it's ever possible to have stats that predict who will win. Some stats are better than others, I do agree with that.

Speaking of stats...does anyone know what Jim Tressel's record was against Lloyd Carr? 8D

Had to get this back on topic.

Carr's name has come up on some Top 10 lists as a candidate to replace Hoke. The idea here is if Snyder can come out of coaching retirement and coach K-State to two BCS games, why not Carr?
The fact that this is even considered by anybody, however unikely, brings an enormous, shit-eating grin to my face. How soon they forget 'The Horror'...
