Based on the game so far, it looks like Michigan is for real. A for-real loser, that is…

[The Wolverines] are absolutely *killing* Appalachian State’s strength-of-schedule.
Heh.
At the half, they’re down four scores (32-7). I’d sure like to be a fly on the wall in the Michigan locker room.
Anyway, I’m glad I didn’t spend twenty bucks on ESPN game plan to watch the slaughter. It’s not like there were any other games there that I wanted to watch.

OK, last week, it was clear that the defense was weak. But this week, it’s clear that the offense is as well. Both Henne and Hart have produced in past seasons, so I have to think it’s the O-line.
Either way, I was laughing off suggestions that Lloyd would leave over this, but if it keeps up, and Michigan has a losing season (when was the last time that happened?), it could happen. Interestingly, his early years were his best.
[Update at quarter to six Eastern]
Well, it turns out that it’s the local ABC game, so I don’t have that excuse not to watch. Apparently, senior quarterback Henne’s been injured, and replaced. It’s unclear whether that’s a good or a bad thing. But he can’t be feeling very good about his senior season at this point…
[Update after end of game]
OK. It’s pretty clear that Michigan completely sux. The question now is, what will the Athletic Department do about it?
