#1 Can't beat Dave Wannstedt
Big Money for a Big Name. Bringing the Spread Option to Ann Arbor. So Mallet (aka Herman Munster) will be gone, time to catch a plane back to Texas. Too Bad Antonio Bass is hurt that guy would fit perfect. Good Luck running that offense in November in Big 10 country. Chalk up five more wins for OSU in the next five years. Wrong people are running the program. Looks like MSU will be on the rise in the state. http://detroit.zonecity.com/
