While I agree with the "mental prep" analogy Ken........the example is between 2 powerful football programs with mega talent............what makes it worse ,as far as Michigan is concerned, and even more spectaular for the kids at ASU is the difference in talent........good thing though the adage "never underestimate heart and desire" proved to be true again.
I cant blame a coach for mental errors on the field, but I can blame him IMHO when your team is lethargic and inept.
Totally agree witht the Notre Dame thing....but GTech has had some talented football teams so that one surprises me less.
Tony....didn't mean to imply that the coach was/is blameless...as a matter of fact, he is mostly to blame as it is part of his function to get the team mentally, as well as physically, prepared for the game. I was just responding to the "insight" part of the thread question!
Notre Dame is simply a mediocre team that has the ability to pick their own weak schedule (except for a couple of games "forced" on them by TV), thus, their continued "winning seasons" with no definable ability!
