Does Rilo Kiley = Rrod era?

It has been 5 days since we hired a new coach. Now, as we start the process of moving forward, what pieces of the Rrod era stay and what go? Obviously, we would would like the pieces in which Denard is awesome to stay and anything having to do with the defense to go. However, one of the things that got a number of diehard mgoblog fans through the difficult times was the Rilo Kiley song "A Better Son/Daughter." This, of course, was mandatory viewing in Brian's 2009 season preview:

So now, mgoblog fans, does this song continue to be a positive or does it remind you too much of the Rrod era?

Helpful hint

The Michigan Replay theme is taken from the instrumental opening by J.J. Johnson and His Orchestra from the 1972 film Across 110th Street.

You can buy it from iTunes here.

It makes a fantastic ringtone for your phone.

J.J.

I've never bothered to look that up all this time ... amazing. J.J. apparently got into fusion just like everyone else.

Here's a possible successor to the old Replay theme:

you will remember that after

you will remember that after the crescendo and the whole "ship may be coming in, you're weak but not givin in - you'll fight it, you'll go out fighting all of 'em" the guitars and drums face and there is just keyboards with a sound effect layer. perfect for fading into the sunset.

Well done. I was literally getting ready to tee that up but I was stuck looking on iTunes for a Seger track before having the narf that, wait, Bob Seger isn't on iTunes.

I mean, it was great and appropriate in 2009. Let's leave it at that.

Maybe it's just me, but I found that song aggressively cringe-worthy then, and still do now. Football and female indie rockers do not go hand in hand.

Shibboleth

I always looked at "A Better Son/Daughter" as an MGoBlog shibboleth in that you would see it as a Facebook status or a tweet during a Michigan game (or during the week, or during something happening to Michigan) and you would know what they were talking about. It was shorthand.

Something new will come this fall.

For those who think RR never got a fair shake

I realized the other day that RR should now console himself listening to a different Josh Groban song - his cover of Don McLean's "Vincent."

"This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."

Things that should

Things that should stay:

34.3points per game

500 yards per game

Things that should go:

102nd ranked defense (points allowed per game)

108th ranked defense (yards allowed per game)

Special Teams that only attempts 14 FGs all year and misses 10 of them

Turn overs

More losses than wins

As for little things

That Hold The Rope crap should go from the GO BLUE GO sign in the lockerroom

Cut the pipied-in music during the game.

Get rid of Victors walk and do it the old way. The player pull up in the maize and blue bus and then just walk to the lockerroom.

Victors walk?

That was another thing that I wondered about. How well attended was the Victors Walk? Did it serve to support the team at all?

Looking back...

RR era reminds me more of Skinny Puppy. Ugly, depressing, hopeless.... hindsight is 20/20 after all. Whatever hope there might have been in 2009, it is totally decomposed by now. We are left only with our addiction to the promise that died.

...though, Rich Rod does have the same initials as "Rick Roll" so, there's that
