i thought this was america
It's coming people. IT. IS. COMING.
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.
things are looking reeeeally good. the revolution is here.
i only respect other superfans
Don't be fooled. The road will still be fraught with peril, but the groundwork has been laid and progress is coming, slowly but surely, it is coming.
Also- new post over at The WLA.
WE ARE GOING TO BE A MACHINE.
(Just a few years later than I'd hoped)
I got a revolutionary boner reading that. Go Jelani!
I said - not good enough.
like the 3/4 complete Death Star right now. Just wait 'til the laser works.

I totally just saw a photoshop of that scene from Return of the Jedi with RRs face over the emperors saying "You'll find this football team is fully operational"
Now if only I had some photshop skills...
Amen. Revolutionizing college football
Thanks. A good reminder.
BTW, I was at the game, NOT booing. I watched people leaving at the half and kept thinking "you guys are gonna regret not staying, this is MICHIGAN!"
GO BLUE!
The streets will run red with the blood of the nonbelievers.
I just got wood. Anyone else? High five? No touching? Ok, I'm cool with that.
Hail to the Victors.
Just remember guys, quality ball touching is ok as long as balls don't touch.
"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)
I'm looking for Jill to have a few more quality ball touches this weekend.
That's what she said.
'To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women'
Lamentations, bitches!
For me, not caring much for Rodriguez has nothing to do with what I think Michigan will do in the next few years, or even this season. I believe Michigan will win the National Championship under him, and soon (like before these freshmen graduate). There's just something about *him* as a person...
Here is hoping nobody on our schedule has a skeleton army offense.
Stealth Ninja ops in full force . . . Corwin at ND, JB at Sweater Vest U. Moles in place. Covert subterranean espionage underway. Attrition has concluded. High level reinforcements joining The Revolution daily! Nonbelievers step aside! You are an albatross! The objective is attainable! Commander Rodriguez and his Ninja Death Squad will prevail. There is no alternative! Believe, believe, believe!!!!
SJUblue:
Touche, son. Touche! But still not as good as Bears With Guns.
WE ARE GOING TO BE A MACHINE.
(Just a few years later than I'd hoped)


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!!!
