Sports: Blue Blue Defense

My favorite sports cliche is "Defense wins ball games".  Probably because it's more than a cliche; it's the truth.  What is better than a good defense in football?  Not much.

When it comes to Michigan Wolverine football, the word defense is but a distant memory.  For years I'd cringe at what Lloyd Carr's teams would put out there.  Sure they had some players, but they were never dominant.  Now they are just downright pathetic!  I don't think I've ever seen such a bad defense in my life.  They can't cover. They can't tackle.  They don't make plays.  This team could easily have 4 more wins at this point, if they had an average defense.  Alas, they have a below average if not sad defense.

I can't stand watching them play.  To see players, considered to be high recruits miss tackles is beyond me. I just don't get it.  Who's fault is that?  Was it Carr who had weak recruiting classes?  Is it because with the new coach in play, many players left the team?  Are they recruiting the wrong type of players; looking for athletes instead of football players (ala OSU)?.  I think it's all of those things actually.

I'm in a small group, a minority of Michigan fans who are not apologists.  You'll have many fans, if not most still think this team is good, and they are giving RichRod another year to prove himself.  I don't have that kind of patience.  I think they suck, and I want him gone.  I also realize, that if he does go it could set the program back even further.  Well while there's some truth to that, how bad is bad?  I mean we lost to friggin Illinois, and Purdue!  Can it get any worse?

Defense wins ball games, even in college.  This team NEEDS to get a defense! Bo is shrugging in his grave
