Arizona Basketball Dedicated Its Win Over Michigan To Rich Rodriguez

l;kajdkfjkklaslkj.......Also, in fairness: a;luiaweoiuav89842394i3a;lidf=-1=.

Arizona gave up 70 points, so it seems fitting.

I don't even know what the point of this was or what my reaction should be. Just seems weird.

Good job taking down the Sun Devils.

Oh wait........T_T

The 2nd article linked was pretty good. You can't get angry at him for how he responds to the questions. 

and thats a poor winner. AZ your a poor winner, next time just piss on the center court logo after beating your next opponent.

What a f'ing joke!

Could this be the beginning of an exciting new rivalry?

No? ok.

I mean seriously. It was a win-win. Let's move on.

Nothing to see here, carry on.

Maybe he wouldn't have had the worst winning percentage of any Michigan football coach in one hundred and thirty five years.  

Does anyone honestly think that Mississippi State would have put 52 points on Michigan if DB had Rod's back?  

We'll never know what could have been if not for the man keeping Rich down.

As if the tag is necessary.  

derp derp derp derp

Okay, great.

The basketball team, the #1 team in America, giving him a game ball after squeaking by an unranked Michigan team, still does not change the fact that Rodridguez led an embarressment of a program here for three years. I'm sure he did his best, but I'm glad he's about as far away from this school as possible.

If we'd just let him hire his DC and recruit a few more 5'8" 178lb "skill" guys and a trim a few more O-lineman down to 278lbs we would have been in a perfect position to get run the f**k over by Stanford, Alabama, Wisconsin, LSU, Sparty and anyone else with the sense to realize that there is a reason the NFL doesn't seek out the same players he does. If you can't recruit the best players you resort to trickeration. See Air Force, Army, Navy, Georgia Tech, Oregon etc. If you have a national brand and can recruit the BEST at every position then you do so. Its not brain science. When we hired RR my concern was that we were essentially surrendering. We were going to win with lesser players(something he can and will continue to do) and be content to lose most of the time when we faced top competition. Notice I said "most of the time" because yes, I recognize that sometimes a team of lesser talent can sneak up on a better team and beat them(the horror). However, if we play Appy st. 10X in a row how many would they win? Likewise if Oregon's best team under Kelly plays Saban's Bama or Carrol's USC or Miles LSU they will probably win 1 or 2, and lose 8 or 9. We(Michigan) don't want to aspire to get lucky or sneak up on people with our nifty shifty offense and hope to "catch" them napping. Thats not the Michigan I want to brag about, the one that might just trick you into losing a game. RR caught Oregon after Stanford immasculated them on national TV. Then proceeded to lose to the same Sun-devils that didn't belong on the field with the Cardinal. That told me all I needed to know about the trajectory of a RR coached Arizona team and what would have been at Michigan as well. RR's best recruit(Denard) will be out of the NFL sooner than later. Saban or MIles or Lloyld Carr for that matter often times had his 10th best recruit earn a living in the NFL for 10 years or more. All that glitters is not gold folks.

But he didn't do anything wrong in this instance. Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb!

His only "crime" was:

a. Being a former Michigan head football coach

b. Saying "that was a proud moment." and

c. Saying Michigan has "got a really good (basketball) team".

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb!

"Why can't he keep his mouth shut forever?" Smart Smart Smart Smart Smart!

 

I would be somewhat impressed if they had made that public before the game.  

 

So, I'm  not impressed.

 

They waited until afterward when it was nice and safe, Meh...  

 

Next.

Something like this would happen. Just another kick to our collective balls this calendar year. 2014 can't come quickly enough.

So if we beat Arizona in baseball or soccer or gymnastics then we get them back, right?  Oh man... I'll bet we'd destroy them in hockey.  That would really teach Rodriguez a lesson.

I'd just as soon forget about his failed experiment at UM.    By the sounds of things, he hasn't gotten over UM yet.

but it seems like he is way too thin-skinned for a job like head football coach. 

 

Maybe they should have simply "raised him up."

Some of these comments are actually ridiculous!! A team full of young adults, mostly under 21, gave the game ball to one of it's other coaches. That coach responded by saying it was a good win. That's it. He said nothing else. Regardless of what you think he felt, that's all he said. Some people on this site are outrageous! I wonder how many of you actually attended a class at the Ann Arbor campus? One guy is wishing failure on Denard in the NFL only to make other coaches look good. Facts are that RR had a bad tenure here. Just like this year, his team had young players. We used first year starters at qb every year. So one can argue that his teams were younger than this team. Arizona is not a powerhouse football program, that's fine. We do not need to point that out every time rr name comes up. Other than last years basketball team, Michigan has been irrelevant in football and basketball. We have been losing to our rivals long before RR arrived. Face the facts guys. It are fans like you who keep the program where it is. Always maybe next year, or his team is young. News flash, other teams have young players as well and they play better. MSU has less talent and facilities but they win. Osu was 6-6 And now they are 24-1 in two years. Success can come fast. You have to have the right person in place. The only thing that is embarrassing to me is our AD. We can argue about what he has done in his tenure,. It has worked out well for the university, but as a fan, I feel I am being taken for a ride. Ticket prices are outrageous and the product on the field is getting worse. Plus, his behavior reminds me of a teenage girl. Always tweeting and standing on the sidelines and cheering. The comments he made in support of BH were terrible. His omission of rr was ok by me, but to recognize every coach except for him is childish. By doing what he did he completely ignored a set of players that made a TON of money for the university. Denard was one of the most marketable players we have seen here in a while. From jersey sales to the cover of video games, he made us a ton. He was not recruited by Lloyd or Brady, but he was the heart of that 11 win season. If he chooses to ignore that, then he is either a liar or an idiot. What AD watches film with the coaches?? This is why he hired Brady because there is no way Harbaugh or Miles would let him do that. Hoke would because he has no spine, so he hired his "boy" so he could have full access to the football team. Stop making excuses guys. Demand more out of our coaches and our AD. College athletics should not be about who can generate the greatest revenue,.
