Though Experiment on Rodriguez --

suppose Rodriguez gets Michigan to 6-6 in the regular season next year and then the Wolverines kill some team in a small bowl game. What will be the consensus as to Michigan's future on Rodriguez? My guess is that most ND fans would think that he has a reasonable chance to succeed.

It points out the difficulty of being objective about one's team. Because of emotional investment, it's easy to swing one way or the other depending upon particular games.

That said, I'd be breathing much easier about Weis if ND had finished 8-5 or 9-4 last year. I still fear that some of Weis's bad tendencies towards hubris will kill him again if things start to improve.
