by the numbers



here's the numbers

consecutive losing years for the first time since the 1962-63 seasons.
Michigan's flop followed a school-record nine-loss year

Buckeyes 8-1 against Michigan and extended Ohio State's longest winning streak that matches the best run in the rivalry since Michigan also won six in a row in the 1920s.

With Saturday's loss to Ohio State, Rich Rodriguez clinched his second straight losing season -- something Michigan's previous three coaches never experienced in their 39 years with the school.

Two consecutive years without a bowl bid

six straight wins for the buckeyes against Mich

Michigan's last win this year was Delaware state

Freshman quarterback Tate Forcier threw a career-high four interceptions and became just the second Michigan quarterback to throw four interceptions against Ohio State in the last 60 years (John Navarre, 2001).

Rich Rodriguez became the first Michigan coach to lose his first two games against the Buckeyes.

MY closing statement

I am still not happy with Tresel's style of coaching, it is way to conservative for me ...but who can argue with success
Secondly ...even with the great thrashing we the Buckeyes have been handing the MICH WOLVes..I do not want to see the Mich program collapse. IT would make a dreary winter even drearier with not having "the game " to look forward to with it being a push over....I hope every game in the future is contested by each team right down to the final second...

Go Bucks

I agree, it is sad to see what's happened to the Michigan program. I like when both teams go into "the game" with the same record to determine who gets the bragging rights for the year. Because no matter how important bowl games are they don't reach the level as the Ohio State/Michigan tradition.

now my next frustration is an old one ....we now have to wait 39 days to play a game...over a month...both of the teams we might face still have a regular season game to play ...cutting their wait time down.... in the past we waited as much as 47 days to play for the national championship...while the Sec teams played late season games and then a conference championship game.....The big ten needs to start two weeks later so that any of its champions are not setting idle for weeks waiting to play....that has got to hurt any teams competitive level
