Stranded

With the 405 closed this weekend, I'm afraid to go outside  So I'm just hanging around, looking at old posts.

Which led me to this entry from August 31, 2008:

Rebuilding

Looks like it's gonna be a tough season. Michigan almost caught up, but lost 25-23 to a Utah team that most years it would have blown out.

There are a lot of problems, but the main one is lack of offense. No serious quarterback, and a compromised offensive line. Most of the starters are freshmen, and you can't expect them to be ready. Meanwhile, the defense started shaky but settled down in the second half. Whether they're good enough we'll find out in later games, but at least there's some hope there.

Michigan hasn't had a losing season in 40 years, and even if Coach Rodriguez needs to start building up a new team, I'm sure he gets that the school won't put up with him being a loser for too long.

But what really caught my eye was this comment:

You might want to look into the program that Coach Rodriguez worked at WVU before you have too much faith in the future. He might be a good footbll coach but he wasassociated with a number of corrupt ne'er-do-wells. Prediction: new coach search by 2010.

Right prediction, even if for the (somewhat) wrong reason.
