FWIW: "A Michigan Football VIP and my waiter friend"
First, I like Rich Rodriguez and I want him to succeed. I think next year is the tell-all year on whether he will succeed, and I would love for him and his players to have that chance.
But I do have an interesting story to relate on a very VIP in Michigan football history, who happened to have dinner at a local establishment in the last couple days, and happened to be waited on by a very good friend of mine who enjoyed bantering with this man and his companions for the better part of three hours.
This is no bullshit. And I am being very vague for the reason that I don't want to bust my buddy, or the establishment where he works.
My buddy is a kinda Michigan fan, more just a local sports fan, and he was very cognizant and impressed by the fact that he was waiting on said VIP.
The shocka quote, among many my friend heard from the jovial men that evening: "I always said, You don't win with one player and you don't lose with one player, but what they've done with that young man...."
My friend came away with a very strong, favorable impression of this man, who he said was friendly, engaging, and down to earth. As well as his friends. He said upon approaching the table at one point the name "Harbaugh" was being tossed around, but they quieted down when he came up.
Okay, that's it. I debated posting this story here for many reasons, primary of which it is hearsay and I do not want to put my bud or "VIP" under the gun. Ultimately I decided to report in this sophomoric cryptic way because I think many mgoblog readers might read the tea leaves and have some idea of what is going on here.
My conclusion: I would still like RR to stay. But I doubt that he will.

I need at least one "tremendous" in the story for confirmation.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:15 PM ^
Mr. Carr, in the Pizza House, with the candlestick.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:18 PM ^
I thought he used the rope...
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
Hah!!!!
I expected the abuse, and I understand it.
But I stand by my story, unequivocally, 100%
Really, what the fuck else do we have to talk about?
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:26 PM ^
Seriously, that story didn't make sense. I had no idea what you were talking about.
Plus, I think it's okay to disclose who the patron was. I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as Waiter-Guest Confidentiality in the waitering world.
December 3rd, 2010 at 9:00 AM ^
there is if said waiter wants to continue getting tips.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
We can talk about Jim Harbaugh...oh wait.

Sir what you have just told us is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent speech was there anything close that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed ,a poor mountaineer barely kept his family feed. The one day he was shooting at some food, and up though the ground came a bubbling crude. I think everyone here can read between the lines to see how my story relates to Richrod and Harbaugh. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more say no more.

What is this post saying? Your friend waited on a table with a former player talking about football? Is there some juicy tidbits I am missing here?
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
Think I might get a seizure if I keep looking at this.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP.

Hit that key in the upper left corner.. it might save your life.

Bro you absolutely rock, I think I was destined for nighmares until you enlightened me, many kudos to you!
December 3rd, 2010 at 12:35 AM ^
I don't know that an avatar has ever been more appropriate than your post.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
Make it stop Mr Busey. Please. I'm scared.

You know what `FEAR` stands for? It stands for `False Evidence Appearing Real.` It`s the darkroom where Satan develops his negatives.

You are mistaken. It is you who stole it from me.

You know what `FAILING` stands for? It stands for `Finding An Important Lesson, Inviting Needed Growth.`

Based on the number of upvotes this gets you might take over top points billing here really soon. And I love that you get upvoted without saying anything - you just post this insanely wierd "hand busey" and we all (me included) upvote.
Is this a great country or what?
December 3rd, 2010 at 10:08 AM ^
Is it possible that DB could replace his pimphand with a Busey hand instead? Would that be a positive or a negative?
December 3rd, 2010 at 4:04 PM ^
just barfed a little bit. thanks for sharing.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
and I basically make inferences and detect bullshit for a living but....
...I have no fucking idea what this post is supposed to be telling me.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Maybe it's the TheraFlu I'm drinking, but I feel woozy after reading that. But considering I don't know what's "local" for you (Ann Arbor, Detroit, Timbuktu), your story is safe with me.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:12 PM ^
"your story is safe with me."
Hahahaha

Actually Lol'd to myself. Good work sweetheart

Please photoshop this with Lloyd Brady.

ZOMG!! One time, I waited on the POTUS, and he said something about nuclear bombs and a country, and then he said "Area 51 sure is kind of like a place, you know, very interesting what we do there...". I can't say verbatim though, I have to protect my identity and where I work at.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:13 PM ^
The commander in chief? Or the hip musical group?
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
The ambiguity is key to understanding the story, and my friend who worked there who was not me but was a VIP but known to him cannot even say who it was said that Rich Rodriguez has a name but it got quiet when I got there so I think that you could guess what they meant by that LoL! :
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:12 PM ^
why is that quote a 'shocka' quote? Assuming it's about Denard, is it a quote of amazement at how integral he is to the offense, a quote of disappointment at how much the offense depends on his performance, or a quote of how concerned they are for his health?
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:13 PM ^
So Harbaugh was at dinner and called the waiter a VIP and then people got quiet when some impressive young man walked through the door and said he had a favorable impression of tonights entree specials??
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
The before and after from reading this post is the same. I learned nothing, I know nothing new. Cryptic usually involves a "tremendous" or some kind of clue. So how about you just spill the beans and explain what you are talking about? mgoblog is turning into an anonymous coaching change tip hotline!

Dude, you are so full of shit. I have heard so much of this "I know a guy, that knows a guy" bullshit. Enough already.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:32 PM ^
Who would make up a fake story and not make up one better than this?
December 3rd, 2010 at 12:11 AM ^
a guy who is not that good at making up stories?
