Second Losing Record in a row since....EVER

Today being Michigan's last chance at a win, its inevitable that they will suffer their second straight losing season. The last time UM had two consecutive losing season was...uhh...Never? Im sure you stat obsessed record keepers will correct me if Im wrong, but I dont believe UM has ever suffered 2 losing seasons in a row.

That being said, Im not ready to cast all of th eblame on RR. I am having my doubts about him now, however, I feel that the distractions caused by all of the ridiculous accusations, slander and gossip are a bigger reason for what has transpired the last three weeks.

Football success is not just about raw talent. Itas also mental. Your players and coaches need their heads 100% in the game. Its difficult to do when everyday you are reading of allegations that your coach uses the same bank as the AD, or that RR was given an Applebees gift card from a suspicious source. One cant relax and focus on their job when they are the target of a vicious, unjustified witch hunt.
