Thanks Retro for your kind words. I like Mario as a 3rd round pick. He has great skills but a head that has historically been up his a$$. I am cautiously optimistic. He is a good route runner with very consistent soft hands so I believe we may be seeing the last of Sinorice. Right now, Ohio State is the class of the Big 10 with Michigan a distant second. I love the hiring of Rich Rod as he has that kick you in the a$$ mentality that Lloyd Carr seemed to have lost. Actually I think Rich Rod will be good for the Big 10. Generally he has a lot of speed at every position, particularly in the interior and I think that will force the Big 10 to get faster. OSU and the rest have speed at DBs and WRs, but generally not at LB or DL. I think that is one reason the Big 10 gets smacked by the SEC annually. The best hiring of Rich Rod was his S&C coach, Mike Barwis. He makes fast players faster whereas Gittleman made fast players slower. Michigan players will be much leaner than in year's past. It will take 3 years to get the kind of players Rich Rod needs so I think next season could be an ugly 4 loss season.
