We Will Return

There is no doubt about it that we want the Wolverines to be the powerhouse of the west once again. It feels great watching Michigan beat the hell out of other teams either in the Big House or in their stadiums. A Michigan win is awesome no matter where it's at. Its been difficult watching this team the last 2 years I won't lie. With losses to teams like App St, Toldeo, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern and MSU it's been tough to stomach going into the Sunday after gameday. Just thinking about the words STATE or OSU makes our blood boil and anger flair but we all need to remember that this happens to all great teams and programs. They go through cycles a lot like the human body does as it grows older. Teams don't stay awesome forever, we wish they did but it just doesn't work that way. Look at the Detroit Red Wings: Made the Stanley Cup Finals 2 years in a row. Now they are just fighting to make the playoffs as the 8th seed in the West. Look at USC. Losing to teams like Washington, Oregon, barely beating Notre Dame. They are also going through a cycle it happens. Rich Rodriguez did an amazing job of recruiting this season for 2010. Picked up big names like Dorsey and Gardner. It's incredible how he pulled that off isn't it? How Dorsey put down big name schools like FSU and Florida to come up here and play for Michigan. Doesn't that mean anything? It means these players look at pride of a program. They look at tradition and excellance with in it and Michigan defines that off and on the field everyday, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I as a fan am humbled that these players are looking at Michigan because they want to be apart of a winning program and a proud conference. So lets stop this constant bitching of "I've had it with this team" or "Were fucking pathetic", "we can't win anything." You take a good long look at the titles and names this school has produced then have the balls to look me in the eyes and say that shit because I bet anything you'll stand frozen in silence. This school has and will always define the word greatness because great athletes are created and bred at Michigan. Brady, Howard, Woodson, Woodley, Edwards, Harbaugh, Toomer, Phelps, Griese my god people the list goes on. You can say all the shit you want about how aweful we are now but you take a good luck at the potential of these athletes and players and you will see more talent than any other human on earth can have. This team has heart, determination and win or lose they play through the pain to get the job done. Forcier against MSU defined that sentence despite the loss he was winded, beat up and bruised yet he worked till there was nothing left in the tank and then some. This team will rebuild, they are rebuilding and with experience and hard work rewards will follow, the streaks against will end and this school will become the champions of the west once again.
