Rodriguez set to join short list

The man you see above is Harry Kipke, and he holds the distinction of being the only first-year Michigan coach to lose to Ohio State, which he did 7-0 in 1929.
With the current Wolverines somewhere near three-touchdown underdogs on Saturday against Ohio State, we expect Rich Rodriguez to join Kipke on that list. So far, though, the first-year UM coaches have gone 10-1-1 against the Buckeyes. The list:
1897: Gustave Ferbert, 34-0 win
1900: Biff Lea, 0-0 tie
1901: Fielding H. Yost, 21-0 win
1924: George Little, 16-6 win
1927: Tad Wieman, 21-0 win
1929: Harry Kipke, 7-0 loss
1938: Fritz Crisler, 18-0 win
1948: Bennie Oosterbahn, 13-3 win
1959: Bump Elliott, 23-14 win
1969: Bo Schembechler, 24-12 win
1990: Gary Moeller, 16-13 win
1995: Lloyd Carr, 31-23 win
