RR donates Michigan wardrobe
Rich Rodriguez donated his Michigan wardrobe to the Salvation Army and it will be sold on Saturday at the Wayne Store on Michigan Ave. Items will start at $6.00.
I remain a fan of the coach and he certainly could have pitched this stuff. It's nice that he took the time to donate it.
BTW - The article says his friends are taking him someplace warm for the weekend. I'm sure that's what I would want too in the same situation.

You got laid off and now you want to blame it on people from West Virginia. Makes sense.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:45 AM ^
Yes because what I am concerned with in a head football coach is fashion sense.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:47 AM ^
Provide you chose to act upon that aspect of the program when another poster voiced an opinion with which you disagree.
January 14th, 2011 at 1:20 AM ^
Because I'm tired of having to donate points to neg you with... Seriously....

I couldn't care less if my coach walks around in a Belichick cut-off sweat shirt as long as he won games. Same goes for if he's wearing an Armani suit and loses them all. Your stereotyping of UAW workers and RR as being a hick disgusts me. The classic Billy Madison clip will be synonymous with you for the rest of my e-life.
January 14th, 2011 at 7:25 AM ^
You are a complete idiot. You do realize that RR didn't go to the MDen and buy his clothes, or design the coaches polo, correct?
January 14th, 2011 at 1:18 AM ^
what the fuck are you talking about, sport?
Lloyd Carr:
Rich Rodriguez:
More Lloyd Carr, here looking just a bit Wal-Martish (and defeated) to me:
And more Rich Rodriguez, looking better perhaps than Lloyd ever did:
And your point, Bluetarsky, was what?

Please give me more points so I can keep negging this dim-witted waste of life. My grandfather worked for GM with horrible arthritis until he was 67 on a grinding wheel 6 and 7 days a week. I live in Upstate NY now with a great education and job b/c he provided the opportunity for my father to go to UM to get a world class education. An opportunity he never had.
In fact posbang all in this thread so we all have some sacrificial mgopoints.

I feel bad for the man, and he has been as classy a person as one could be throughout this entire process. He'll succeed somewhere, and I will cheer him on wherever he goes. May his teams have great success, except when playing the University of Michigan.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
I always thought that RR was a good guy and I really hope that he succeeds in his next job wherever that may be.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:37 AM ^
January 14th, 2011 at 8:50 AM ^
The guy had charisma. We met him at an event and he won us all over. Hope he lands somewhere great where his coaching meets huge success.

.. Bo Schlembechler - circa 2010.
If only he beat OSU in 2008. If only he beat OSU in 2009. If only he beat OSU in 2010.
Wishful thinking

and your donation, Coach.
When RR got teary eyed, he was a faggy, cry-baby, loser jerk.
When Hoke pert-near cried -- while talking about all the players he has touched -- he was a hero.
so it goes.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
John Boehner had the ol' tear ducts working overtime on the House floor the other night. Is he a cry-baby loser jerk? Is he from Ohio? Film at 11.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:58 AM ^
John Boehner is perhaps the most douchy cry baby loser known to man.
I am drunk please forgive my political statement.
January 14th, 2011 at 5:02 AM ^
Boehner, kicks FGs for Ohio St., no?
January 14th, 2011 at 12:42 AM ^
Cheryl Burnett's Michigan gear ended up at the Salvation Army on State Street after she was let go. Very unceremonious.
This is cool.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:44 AM ^
Still amazed by the support on this board for RR. Snake oil salesman, nothing more, and he still has many of you sold...
January 14th, 2011 at 12:46 AM ^
A Troll?
January 14th, 2011 at 12:47 AM ^
the guy is doing something for charity. Acknowledge it and move on.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
Smells more like banhammer.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:53 AM ^
cool. Brady Hoke would've walked/swam to Africa and gave the clothes away.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:53 AM ^
January 14th, 2011 at 12:55 AM ^
Yeah because he traded all of his clothing for tattoo's.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:58 AM ^
Tattoos are a great way to support your struggling family. The state of Ohio subsidizes them more than corn and ugly uniforms put together.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:54 AM ^
Kinda weird to me he's donating everything already. I know a coach at the high levels very well, and when he was released he didn't get rid of everything. He felt a connection to the school and still wore the stuff.....
January 14th, 2011 at 12:58 AM ^
Who's to say that he donated every article of Michigan clothing that he owned? Isn't it possible that he kept some?
January 14th, 2011 at 2:11 AM ^
January 14th, 2011 at 8:58 AM ^
I was very much an RR supporter. Your the one flipping out. I just merely said it was a little weird to me that he got rid of it so fast. Im not even saying its wrong, im glad he donated it rather than just throwing it out.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:04 PM ^
Most likely wasn't subjected to 3 years of total bullshit from everyone and everyway. The media gangbanged him from day 1.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:54 AM ^
I've been in a situation where I've been an outsider coming into a tight knit community, and it didn't work out despite my best efforts. Its a terrible feeling; especially when you are just making the right progress. I did learn a lot from this experience though and I'm sure Coach Rich will as well.
He will take another University to the top someday.
January 14th, 2011 at 8:34 AM ^
January 14th, 2011 at 12:59 AM ^
Stay tuned.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:59 AM ^
I agree with you here Brodie, but I don't think it's the right forum.
January 14th, 2011 at 8:19 AM ^
It's only about politics, religion, and homosexuality...so we could use some less controversial stuff after the last few weeks.
January 14th, 2011 at 9:22 AM ^
I agree with you here Brodie, but I don't think it's the right forum.
Seconded. I doubt that Coach RR was considering this (or knew about this... I know I didn't). I think he was just trying to give some gear to folks who could use it.
January 14th, 2011 at 8:57 AM ^
Classless bitch move. Just the same kinda shit I'd expect from the people that never gave him a chance in the first place.
January 14th, 2011 at 5:17 PM ^
I never said it had anything to do with Rich, I doubt he knows. My point was that people should think and read up on charities before they run out and donate money to them... essentially, I'm explaining why I wouldn't rush out to this auction.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:44 AM ^
this article is from 2004. I doubt it's still relevant.

Um, is this a joke about Wyoming? Have you ever been here before?

What happens when I get huge numbers of negative points?
I get dinged and I check your profile out to see if you're pure troll or not, and ban appropriately.
