After a couple of weeks of practice and their Spring game, many out-of-touch fans of that school up North already believe that Robert "Tate" Forcier will lead them to a victory over Ohio State in 2009.Never mind that they lost nine games in 2008, including a 42-7 beatdown at the hands of the Buckeyes.
Never mind that they still have no defense and are unproven at wide receiver and running back.
Never mind that Tressel is 7-1 and Dick-Rod isn't the savior they all believed he was and wanted him to be.
Sure, he built a decent program at West Virginia, but I mean, that's the Big East, where you play schools like UConn, Rutgers, Cincinnati, and Louisville, not the Big Ten where you deal with Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State.
Never mind that Forcier might not even be the starter in 2009.
Even if he is and he has a decent year, he can never live up to the hype and unrealistic expectations scUm fans (like Jordan from B/R) are placing on his shoulders.
I had better remind them once again, just for good measure:
UM lost nine games last year.
They're not going to win nine or 10 games this year.
Forcier looked OK, but remember, he was playing against his own weak defense so you be the judge.
