For years it was painful to see Michigan struggle against Mac teams. Great to see Michigan blowing them out again.

Welcome back.

It’s the Lloyd Carr Way repeating itself: blow out the underdogs all the way to a New Year’s Day Bowl despite losing the most important games on the schedule every year.
I think the newer generation of Wolverine fans are finally seeing through it, that Michigan is more Iowa than Ohio State, except Iowa wins their division and beats Ohio State.

Ha, FIFY. Let's not make it sound like either of those are a regularity!

Lloyd Carr won the Big 10 5 times and also won a national championship.

I really liked him. Probably the most under-appreciated head coach in my lifetime of watching college football.

I did too. I really liked how he carried himself. Ohio State bested him at the end of his career, but Lloyd has a very good run.

I still have the autographed picture of him, that one of the old-days M posters sent to me in the mail.

Lloyd Carr won a lot.  We just weren't used to the new reality that it wasn't the Big 2 anymore, so he wasn't appreciated enough in his times.
I also don't think the criticism was that Lloyd lost big games, it was that he stumbled too often when favored.  Again, not more than most, but simply a byproduct of fans not realizing this was an era where you could just expect to win every non PSU game on your schedule anymore.

Carr gets a bad rap because UM's annual 4-loss seasons started under him.
