    • Carr's Last Season?

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, SEPTEMBER 04 2007 10:19 AM | PERMALINK

      The fallout from the upset of the century, Appalachian State over Michigan, continues to fall and seems to be landing squarely on Lloyd Carr's shoulders. Michigan talk radio was livid with Carr hatred following the crushing loss. If the "fire Lloyd" cries were loud in Michigan before, they are deafening now. Furthermore, they are probably correct. Carr even admitted postgame that the Wolverines were not prepared, and that is his fault. Typically, as we all know, that is coach-speak for "I'm gonna take...

NY Daily News is reporting that Strahan is still taking "the next day or two" to sort out what he wants to do regarding the season. This is just one of those situations where fan perspective and player perspective are worlds apart.
