It's coming people. IT. IS. COMING.

By Ninja Football — October 2nd, 2008 at 2:26 AM — 28 comments

A Top 10 recruiting class for 2009.  Already two and possibly soon to be three top 100 players for 2010. (Two of them WRs- but I thought Rod's offense "wouldn't throw!!!")
The greatest comeback in Michigan Stadium history.  A Bear Cavalry type
of defense rumbling to a score, together, like a pack of wild Grizzlies
rushing the gate of a Salmon cannery with red-eyed determination.  A QB
who no one knew even had legs rumbling for a 58 yard run. 
Freshmen contributing all over the field who will have 2 full years of
game experience come the start of 2010.  Good vibes from the Jelani
Jenkins camp when no one thought we had a shot once upon a time.

After seeing what happened on the field last Saturday, after hearing
people boo and then being part of that amazingly loud crowd all I can
think is this: We've seen flashes of it this year, and soon- not only
on offense, but on defense as well- they are going to be playing fast,
hard and aggressive. To all those people booing: You best start
believing now, or at least hold your tongue. Because when it happens I
will be calling out all the non-believers who try to say I told you so,
that they love RichRod, that they never had any doubt.......  

It is coming, people.  The days of RichRod's Wacko Ninja Offense and
Shafer's Hit Them in the Mouth Defense.  I'm speaking of Ninja Football. 
That's right. Ninja. Fucking. Football.   WE WILL BE A MACHINE. You best start believing now.

Agreed, Ninja Football, all the pieces are coming into place. This team will be unstoppable with all the weapons we will have; recruiting is tearing it up with our staff pulling in top flight defensive recruits to build an outstanding D to accommodate the ninja offense that will be up and running full speed by 2010. Things are looking good; Go Blue!!!

"As long as balls don't touch"? When did you go and change the rules on me?

Jill,

I'm glad you stayed to see it. I have some extremely good friends who came in from Cincinnati (they grew up here) but were bitching about Rod pregame and all through the first half. I kept telling them essentially what I said here. When the 2 pt conversion sailed high and one of them actually hugged me I was cracking up. All I said was "See? You were here for that. You saw them turn the corner, even if it was just a glimpse of the things to come. You were here for the birth of the machine." 

WE ARE GOING TO BE A MACHINE.

(Just a few years later than I'd hoped)
