What would FY's '08 record have been if he wasn't dead?
I know some of you hate talking about anything relevant, but it's life and there are only so many videos of shirtless 17 year old boys to keep us occupied until September.
I was reading some old stuff regarding the debate that's been recycled about 3.4 trillion times about whether or not Yost "let termites eat the cupboard", and it piqued my e-pinion in this e-question.
I'm interested to hear what you all think FY's record would have been if Yost had anyone weighing over 200 pounds starting every game for Michigan...
But in the interest of drawing a comparison to the situation Edwin R. "Sweetest Man That Ever Lived" Sweetland encountered (i.e., no B10-caliber ass on the roster), I'm also interested to hear what you guys think FY's record would have been if John Henry "Harry" James had a season-ending explosive diarrhea before the Case game.
Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

that was a rough year on our economy.
Fielding Yost was a great visionary. He designed the Big House anticipating massive expanstion and lighting eventually being added.
14-0, He would have beat the University of Chicago in the Big Ten Championship Game and then gone on to beat Stanford 49-0 in the NC game. Suck on that Jim Harbaugh.
I cannot take you seriously with that avatar. Everytime I see it, I laugh and can't concentrate on anything you write.
Who is that in his avatar? Is it someone we should know?
McFarlin or Tom Haagan.
who is this mcfarlin you guys speak of? is he cool? can he breed my dog?
You should NEVER take me serious. Even if my avatar is the pope. I am 100% full of shit all of the time.
With Beavis as his avatar and uname....
this thread confused the shit out of me until i looked a few threads down.
bah we need the season to start. this is what happens when only the tigers are playing.
I'm still confused!
I dunno, but after a century of West Virginians bitching about Yost leaving them I'm pretty sure they'd be out of the Union.
FY would have outscored the opposition 550-0 in route to a National Championship
Great minds think alike...
Michigan 550
Everyone else 0
I don't know, but it would probably be tough to win with kids that didn't wear facemasks and played tackle at 170 in today's game.
Yost was a great coach, not a miracle worker.
Willie Heston would probably have split time at qb with Threat and Sheridan. That alone would have been enough to get us another win or two
If the late president ford had become coach of the football team, what would his record have been in 1983?
I'm pretty sure he would find a way for our 2008 team to win every game, he was that good of a coach.
Damn video embedding change...

He's Fielding Yost. Give him at least 11 players and the result is inevitable.
Who knows, he might even have been able to do it with just 10...
Who would win, Yost or a Hurricane?
We score exactly 60 every game, obviously. But with that many possessions, OSU, PSU and Purdue all hang 70 on that defense. We beat South Carolina in the Outback Bowl, 60-56, as wingback Carlos Brown scores on a buck-lateral as time expires.
Having gone to the cupboard and seeing it bare, he would've suited up Tradition, Glory, Righteous Knowledge of Superiority, and Indignation at the Prospect of Rebuilding Just Like Every Other Program From Time to Time. These Four Horsemen would've run rampant through the opposition, winning with such awing, decimating force that occasionally two victories would be credited for a single game.
Throw in triumph over the grave and triumph over the flimsy notion that it's possible that simply being Michigan doesn't mean most of the Big Ten will fall at your feet, and you've got your 18 wins.
Let's at least bring in Fielding as a consultant, or maybe we could name him the Next Head Coach, to take over when RR retires.
