The End of College Football Season

As today was the Michigan-Ohio State football game, and this year, marks the end of the Wolverine's 2008 season, I felt it was necessary to say a few words about my beloved Wolverines. It was quite a disappointing season - beyond disappointing really. We knew starting out with a new head coach (Rich Rodriguez) and a lineup heavy with rookies that it was going to be a year of rebuilding and patience. But we still wanted to WIN! Throughout the season, there were moments of excitement and glimpses at future glory; the Wolverines even managed to break a few records. They started the season with the losing-est record in Michigan history, it's the first time since 1967 that they have had an overall losing season, and it's the first time there will be no Wolverine post-season since 1974. Most importantly, today they lost to Ohio State for 5th consecutive time; the most consecutive loses by either team in the history of the 'Greatest Rivalry in Sport'. It is not easy to be a through-and-through maize & blue fan today, but I will hold my head high and 'hail to the victors' nonetheless. Here's to the prospects of 2009 - GO BLUE!
