Yeah, but what's to gain by saying things like this?  A lot of people
might agree that Michigan was the best team this year.  So what?
Comments like this coming out of the mouths of the coach and the team
leader of the team that lost will most likely be interpreted as sour
grapes, even though they were probably said in disappointment.
 
But then again, maybe not:  I was surprised that Coach Parker's
response to these comments got more lip (finger?) service on this
list than "Michigan's."
 
Thanks to all of the teams for another great season,
Andrew Rapoff
