Carr says he supports RichRod. I don't believe him
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4591638
I don't believe Carr. I think the conspiracy is still alive and kickin'. Carr wants RichRod out. No other explanation.
After learning about Occum's Razor, this thing has conspiracy written all over it. My only concern is that this conspiracy runs even deeper than I first thought.
[EDIT: Yes, that was indeed sarcasm. I am somewhat offended, however, that my wit is not as well received as I had hoped!!]

You're an idiot.
That's only sarcasm if you were sarcastic.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:18 PM ^
Okay.
Tough loss.
No offense, friendo, but this is, as the kids say, whack.
.
YES

October 24th, 2009 at 7:19 PM ^
for what?
October 24th, 2009 at 7:19 PM ^
...then kudos to you, sir.
If not, then your post of about 87% full of fail. Occum's Razor HATES conspiracy theories.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:23 PM ^
I guess I'm not quite the comic I thought I was. Yes, that was sarcasm!
October 24th, 2009 at 8:28 PM ^
but we're reached DEFCON 2: IMPLOSION IMMINENT around here. I just couldn't be sure.
Like I said... kudos to you, sir.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:24 PM ^
I disagree. Occum was on the Grassy Knoll.
October 24th, 2009 at 8:29 PM ^
but not, as is commonly believed, the deputy.

Carr spoke at the Alumni Association tailgate today. He didn't straight up say he supported Rich Rod, but he described how "Tradition" is intangible and that Michigan has a lot of it. Then he went on to say that part of that tradition is supporting your school in one way or another. It was more of a plug for the new alumni to give money to the University. Take from it what you will, but he seemed genuine in his support of the school and its athletics.
All this talk of Carr and his cronies having it out for Rich Rod is getting ridiculous. If there is any truth behind the rumors, then this is exactly what the rumor mongers want. Continuing to talk about it only gives the rumors more credence.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:25 PM ^
Occum's Razor says you favor the simpler explanation over the more complicated one. So let's look at this situation:
Carr says he supports Rich Rod.
One explanation: Carr is behind a vast, demonic conspiracy to undermine Rodriguez and mess up UM football so that the future AD (whomever that may be) will hire Ron English or some other non-Les Miles person from the Schembechler era.
Simpler explanation: Carr supports Rich Rod.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:28 PM ^
No one cares what you think. Shut up.
Edit: This is directed at the original poster.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:41 PM ^
Nobody cares what I think? Telling me to shut up? OH NOES! We got ourselves an internet tough guy!!
October 24th, 2009 at 11:59 PM ^
I'm sure Lloyd Carr sits up at night unable to sleep because he hasn't convinced you of his sincerity and because you called him a liar.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:47 PM ^
Lloyd Carr may not have preferred Rich Rod as coach but he is not going to undermine the guy and let the program fail for ego. Lloyd has way too much class and respect for Michigan to do that.
I do think however, that Lloyd has been secretly paying our TE's $100 for every dropped pass. To date, that means he has paid out $12k over the season.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:45 AM ^
All this talk about "Occum's Razor" and not one of you spelled it correctly.
It's Occam's razor.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:59 AM ^
It's usually (but not always) Occam now, but William of Occam (he of the razor) lived well before the standardization of English spelling.
October 25th, 2009 at 3:57 PM ^
Ockham is the current name of the city from which he took his epithet, so I think that should be the preferred name.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:09 AM ^
...oh never mind.
What is a hamhock anyway?
October 25th, 2009 at 11:29 AM ^
. . . anyone else get the impression that the only reason Lloyd broke the silence is because Bill Martin and/or Mary Sue sat down with him and said "enough already, make a few rounds and try to silence all these Leachesque rumors?"
October 25th, 2009 at 11:56 AM ^
Oh Jesus. Now we go from "WHY IS LLOYD SILENT???" to "THEY MADE HIM SPEAK."
October 25th, 2009 at 3:43 PM ^
DId you listen to his 1st quarter bit during the game? How could you listen to that and NOT think that they were going through the list of all the issues Lloyd wanted to address. Sorry, but that sounded perfectly scripted. You didn't get that?
October 25th, 2009 at 4:00 PM ^
I listened to it, and I didn't get scripted at all. Towards the end, as CHAMP JB repeatedly said, Lloyd was very comfortable and open.
October 26th, 2009 at 2:16 PM ^
No. Absolutely not.
Things he was willing to talk about, of course. Look, FB and JB love Carr, and they should. They've been close for a long time and they know this bullshit about Lloyd not supporting RR is just that -- bullshit.
I thought the interview I heard in the car during the first quarter was great, but sad. Sad, becuase it should not have been necessary. Great, becuase now noone can with a straight face say LC doesn't support Rich.
Maybe we can move on now . . .
