Big Blue Augers In Again
I had high hopes for the Rose Bowl this year. The low scoring first half -- tied 3-3 before the inanities of halftime analysis began -- seemed to bode well for the maize and blue. Alas, Michigan rolled out its patented "prevent offense" in the second half and meandered its way to a 32-18 loss.

I'm sure that there will be lots of calls for Lloyd Carr's head on a platter. I'm equally sure that the resulting arguments will sound a lot like the "stay the course" or "cut and run" bullshit that played out recently over our Iraq "strategy".

Whatever the result of the ditch Lloyd/keep Lloyd argument, there is no arguing that the better team won today or that Michigan really can't seem to come out on top when the pressure is on.
