Is anyone besides me counting the days to when Lloyd leaves? Things seems to be getting out of control...there are more and mroe problems coming up.

This has nothing to do with Llyord...

It's a team rule, not a Big Ten or NCAA rule. Settle down.

It could be something as stupid as out past the team's curfew.

October 3, 2007  09:33 AM ET

While I agree that these "team rules" are purposely nonspecific, things do seem to be getting worse in Ann Arbor. It's time.

October 3, 2007  09:35 AM ET

Wow when it rains it pours....wth is going on up in that part of the country?

October 3, 2007  09:51 AM ET

Any idea what he did, skip class, broke curfew, smoking something, drinking something? Wish they would tell us, LOL!

Anyone else realize that if we had a field goal kicker, we would still be in the top ten right now, having only lost to a tough Oregon team? I am by no means in love with Lloyd, or Henne for that matter, but college football is different these days. Look to last Saturday as an example. Am I pleased as a Michigan fan, no, have I chanted fire Lloyd every home game at the Big House, yes, but things aren't that bad... It will make ruining OSU's season that much more special this year.

Lloyd shouldn't suspend him if he wants to keep his job. Carr must now his job is safe b/c why would he enforce this rule in midseason. Make the guy run 4 miles after ever practice for a wk!!

October 3, 2007  10:40 AM ET

He probably broke curfew. Suspending him for the game is the right thing to do.

October 3, 2007  02:11 PM ET

Seems like Lloyd has lost control of this team.......Buckeyes will end the Big Blue misery at seasons end.

October 3, 2007  02:23 PM ET

A guy misses curfew or something like that, and Carr has no control...

What does that make Tressel, whose players are soliciting cops for sex?

October 3, 2007  02:30 PM ET

Scoreboard Tressel over Carr head to head.
Had no idea there were any "hot" looking cops in Columbus.

GO EMU EAGLES.

Biminator - Just a OSU player lookin' for a little **** to spank before they spank Michigan's..

October 3, 2007  11:03 PM ET

He said he wanted to win, that's against team rules at Miss-a-gain.

October 3, 2007  11:04 PM ET

He told Lloyd he wanted to win, that's against team rules in Miss-a-gain.

I love how you scUM fans think that beating OSU this year to pull your record to 2 - 5 against them over the last seven years will make anyone forget that you lost to a 1-AA team......a 1-AA team that then lost to Wofford. What the he// is a Wofford? Face it, your team is an embarrassment. I see people in maize and blue shirts and hats and I chuckle. Please continue to draw attention to yourselves. It provides endless entertainment.

October 4, 2007  11:13 AM ET

It won't make anyone forget the loss to Appalachian State, but the fact that we are 1-4 against OSU since Tressel took over would make a win this year that much sweeter.

October 4, 2007  11:24 AM ET

Hey marino. I don't really care what Carr and Tressel's head to head record is, a win is a win. A loss is a loss to, particularly to a 1AA team. OSU is looking pretty good this year too.

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank people like you for reinforcing every stereotype that people have of OSU fans. My guess is that you never even graduated college, much less at OSU. It has been my experience that people who spend so much time and energy hating on fans of another team really have very little else going on in their lives. You live vicariously through a bunch of kids to the point where you enter a thread about a rival team and post disparaging comments. What does that get you?

At the end of the day football is just a game, nothing more. Do I love it, yes. Do I talk smack to OSU fans. No, not really, ever. I sat and rooted for OSU to win the championship last year. I watch almost every OSU game, and never root against them unless they are playing Michigan. People are people, and the kids that you are disparaging are just that, kids. Kids who are attending one of the finest schools in the nation, and doing the best they can to play football. I have many friends who are OSU fans, and it's low class individuals like yourself that give them all a bad name.

Rant ended.

Thank god this happened against Eastern, and not an important game.

Whoops! That's what we thought before Appalachain. Be careful guys. You can still win the big ten, but not if you lose to Eastern!
