Hopefully everyone will start to see D-bag for the prick he really is instead of a darling with family values.

Remember, this is the same guy who poked fun at the stature of an amateur athlete (Mike Hart) following a loss. I don't care what Mike Hart said (it wasn't that bad, and was only in response to an obnoxious comment D-Bag made earlier that year), a coach with any ounce of professionalism never publicly pokes fun at an amateur athlete, let alone any other individual. I understand that it all may be part of Dantonio's act, but I'm sure that even Woody Hayes knew better than to cross that line. (He just punched players instead!)

I can't wait until Michigan begins destroying MSU year after year.

I hate losing to MSU, worst loss of the year, this year or any other. It upsets the natural order of things. Every time we play MSU I feel we should win. Rationally, we can't beat them every time we play but 8 out of 10 sounds about right. RichRod is now 0-2 v. MSU and MD. Most of this can be rationalized by the circumstances surrounding Michigan's program but how many additional losses to State can be explained away?

If Michigan loses next year to MSU do people start to question Rodriguez's understanding of the rivalry? The MSM's crush on MSU is built on smoke and mirros (i.e. they are not out-recruiting Michigan), but if these mistruths combine with MSU victories over Michigan, well then, it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think RR will build a team that can crush MSU, but how long will it take and how much damage will be done in the interim?

Here is to next year in Ann Arbor! May order be restored.

Historically, M beats MSU 7 of 10 chances. This decade M beat MSU 7 times with a bit of a long winning streak in the middle when crazy John L was running the show. I think by the time next year rolls around things will look much different.

To the point of the MSU crush in the media, it's terrible. I heard someone on the radio yesterday say that the tables have turned in the state and MSU is now the better athletic school as they beat M two years in a row (they fail to mention that everyone beat M last year and that this year was almost a full on Sparty No! collapse), that the basketball team played in the championship game, and even hockey won a championship more recently than M.

A few victories that reek of 'shut the hell up Sparty' in other sports this winter will be satisfying.

Michigan challanges for the Big 10 Championship next year (2 full classes of "his" guys) Tate will be in the system for a year and a half. The frosh. and soph. classes will be much more experianced than the norm with so much playing time under their belts.

2011 Michigan wins the Big Ten

Sometime in the next 5 years Rich wins a BCS National Championship. We dominate MSU again and win 3 out of 5 against OSU.

I know, big wish but the guy is proven and was a thumb away from the championship game with WV

To the dick that is complaining about being negged to be cute. Get a life, get a job, and leave your mom and dad's basement.

The sooner people stop wasting one iota of energy worrying about getting negged the better. (I know that this can just be turned into wasting energy complaining about people complaining about getting negged and that can go on for ever)
