Frank Clark says......Playoff bound?

"The Rose Bowl is the grandaddy of them all. That's a bowl that every Michigan alum wants to see the team in. That's a bowl that every Michigan coach wants to play in. But I'm sure coach wouldn't be disappointed playing in that national championship game either."

Before you can be, you've got to believe you can be.

I expected him to say michigan will be unstopable this year...like the space shuttle Challenger.

The funny part is that not even what he said. The actual quote said something to the effect of "we are building something indestructible. But we aren't going to sink. We aren't the Titanic." Rival fanbases started running with the quote and they don't even know what it actually was.

I always like listening to Clark's press answers. They get me amped up for the season. His smile may not be as wide as DRob's, but the man looks cheerful and looks like a solid leader for the defense.

It almost looks like a flesh light. I wonder if there was anybody tittering when the marketing team first introduced the idea.

Also, I agree with the above poster who says that talk is good, but Clark and co need to deliver. There is no way that we will make the playoffs this year, but getting back to our Sugar Bowl form would suit me just fine.

"There is no way that we will make the playoffs this year..."  

Well, you certainly lack imagination.  Just needs three things: a bunch of lucky bounces, avoiding key injuries and some bad luck coming down on our opponents.  No way Auburn should've made it into the championship game last year. No way at all...except that they did because of those three things.

that they just happened to score too early on their last drive and chances are good they could have pulled the entire thing off. Based on this and other recent remarks by Clark and it appears he believes he is ready for a monster season and hopes this confidence rubs off on those that desperately need it.

I would hope that everyone on the team believes they will win it all until it becomes mathematically impossible.  Sometimes, it doesn't become mathematically impossible and you end up raising the trophy.

And get working. He was very unimpressive last year and no one on this team has any room to talk. Let's just try and stay within 2 scores of state before we begin talking about a B1G championship much less a NC
