I have been really surprised to read comments from Michigan fans and alumni like "What a great day it is to be a Wolverine" whenever more bad news for the OSU football program hits the press. Maybe a great day would be when Michigan figures out how to actually beat OSU... especially if Michigan can beat OSU with eligible or (even better) ineligible players on the roster. That would be a day to celebrate. However, I feel that beating OSU, even if severely crippled by NCAA sanctions, will be good enough to declare a public holiday and parade around town.
I'm not saying that Michigan football fans or alumni shouldn't feel some satisfaction. Even if this was truly the work of one man, OSU has been deeply shamed, and the cover-up is much worse than the stupid stuff RichRod ever did. This event, along with the hiring of Hoke, now gives the Michigan football program a chance to get back in the running for the Big Ten crown. But isn't excellence really about conquering the tallest mountain? Cheering for the earthquake that reduced the height of the mountain seems a little beneath Michigan alumni.
BTW, the URL above was sent to me by a fellow buckeye who just relocated to Michigan for the 2nd time. Apparently he found the job that 11% of Michigan residents could not. (Sorry... just keeping up with the subject of this post.)
