]]> Comment on If not Harbaugh, who? by Augusto http://davehogg.com/sportsblog/2011/01/04/if-not-harbaugh-who/comment-page-1/#comment-1909 Augusto Tue, 04 Jan 2011 23:28:41 +0000 http://davehogg.com/sportsblog/?p=184#comment-1909 That said, I still think Matt Millen is the right guy for the job. Matt Millen is the perfect coach for The University of Michigan. Just like their alumni, he arrogantly believes he can do no wrong. Just like their fan base, he rides a Harley to work. PLUS, we all know he can make NFL players out of garbage! That's a great edge recruiting! That said, I still think Matt Millen is the right guy for the job.

I believe it has to be Harbaugh or Rodriguez, with the defensive coaches gone, and a high profile defensive coach being hired. Mr. Brandon better get it right, or he might be the next one gone.

That said, what came to mind for me as a justification of maybe changing the call was the infamous George Brett pine tar game - a game where an umpire's ruling was overturned, runs were put back on the scoreboard, and the game was resumed from that spot. Regardless of the causes and rulings, it was the ultimate one-off. I'd like to see replay on balls in play only, perhaps as a challenge for each manager and at the crew chief's discretion. Or, possibly, have a replay official. The Joyce call last night had no effect on the outcome, but there was a game last night that was lost on a bad call. The Twins clearly got an out at second base in extra innings last night to retire the side, but the call was blown and the Mariners scored the "winning" run on the play.

I would imagine that less experienced athletes could start lower on the course and work their way up, but it sounds like the hosts have limited access to the course to the bare minimum possible. In retrospect, that sounds unspeakably irresponsible. http://www.morethanthegames.co.uk/128860-georgian-luge-slider-kumaritashvili-killed-vancouver-2010-winter-olympics http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703278604574624124281736030.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_RIGHTTopCarousel I don't like this at all.
