Does RR remind you of Bo or what?
Quotes about Rich Rod: “I get upset when people poke fun at Coach Rod, because I know him on a personal level,” Mike Martin said. “I’ve been at his house with his family, and that man should never be made fun of because he’s nothing but a good person.
"I'm all in for coach Rodriguez and everything he does," -Ryan Van Bergen said.
"I'd be pretty devastated if anything happened (to Rodriguez)." -Darryl Stonum
Reporters are gonna write stories that tell me lies about how there's no "family atmosphere" anymore? Bull. Lots of people left Bo's first year because they couldn't take it, but not many people besides the coaches knew that until many years later. Now with ESPN, Twitter, Facebook, and everything else on the internet, every time that happened recently it's a big friggen deal. Of course Bo didn't have to completely change systems, but that doesn't matter. I remember Bo always got choked up at Banquets and things, and now RR does too. But when he does it he's "begging for his job". Shit pisses me off.

I would hide if I were you.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
If i were you, I would stop being a douche.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
Well if I were you then you would be me and I would use your body to get to the top.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:17 PM ^
What?
December 6th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
Didn't think I'd have to explain, but I guess so!
December 6th, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
I have no idea what this has to do with Ace Ventura.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
I just thought your comment had a bit of pseudo-recursion that deserved an Xzibit reaction shot.
December 8th, 2010 at 8:23 AM ^
No not at all, not even a little bit.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:05 PM ^
I don't get it. A couple of days ago, this guy would have been met with explosions and would have been cussed out for posting something that had possibly been touched on before. I certainly don't agree with how that was all going down, so I figured I would give him a heads up.
What did I miss over the weekend?
December 6th, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
If I say: "Hackney cue up the nuke please?"
December 6th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
No, but I sincerely wonder what caused the 180 in this board's mob mentality. I appreciate the change, whatever the reason...
December 6th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
I am sorry I missed this full of win thread. According to the rules of the CC Detente Act of 2010, I cannot nuke this thread. Nor would I want to. The poster has conveyed anger over the negativity coming from all areas of the country (Today, Dallas). While it may not be great for a thread but as a post, he did not once mention JH or DB. As an ardent supporter of current coaches, this is in no way a nuclear offense, I actually agree with him. Unless you know the man personally like his players and family, then no one has the right to judge his character.
I don't think the board's mood has moved one degree. In fact it still stays very fractured and I will nuke the shit out of any non-CC prefixed threads or threads that denegrate any of the circus participants in this big tent controversy. I will weigh in with my coaching thoughts after Jan 3rd. Kinda sounds like someone huh? I, nor anyone else knows what is going on besides the people involved right now. I think you just jumped the shark. It happens to the best of us.
Keep a open eye and a closed heart. That way you don't get hurt.
P.S. I have been watching MNF, writing Fear and Loathing in Ann Arbor Volume II, doing my laundry, and eating M & Ms
December 7th, 2010 at 9:54 AM ^
Im gonna have to say people were just going off emotion and giving it some time Im sure most have gotten over it
December 6th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
Where is Hackney anyway? I cant believe he's gonna miss this thread.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
We all read the lyrics to "You raise me up" and have taken a more passive tone on the board.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:49 PM ^
December 6th, 2010 at 9:46 PM ^
That's a good way to end a rant
December 6th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
made me laugh aloud...+1
December 6th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
I ate five meatballs with my pasta tonight because a sixth would make me fart a lot.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
interest you in some Beano?
December 6th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
I don't know. Will my favorite QB win two Heismans after I start cooking with Beano?
December 6th, 2010 at 10:05 PM ^
I offered the Beano so you wouldn't shit yourself after eating that coveted sixth meatball.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
December 6th, 2010 at 11:06 PM ^
Never used the product myself, just figured it was for univeral use to reduce the passage of gas.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
I'm with you man.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
Go ahead and eat that meatball!!!!
December 6th, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
Totally... except for that whole "winning games" thing, but that's really overrated IMO
December 6th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
I remember Bo always got choked up at Banquets and things, and now RR does too. But when he does it he's "begging for his job". Shit pisses me off.
First of all, Bo didn't go 15-21 in his first three seasons and was never on the hot seat. Second of all, what do you think people are going to write when your tearful coach on the hot seat says, "I want to be a Michigan Man." We, as a fanbase, have developed a persecution complex. We really need to get over it.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
Nah, a significant part of our fanbase has developed a deeply held entitlement complex, and we really need to get over that...
December 6th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
HOT SEAT!!!!!!11!!!!!1
December 6th, 2010 at 10:47 PM ^
"History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake."
December 6th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
Shit pisses me off too.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
December 6th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
Yeah... I remember how Bo got blown out by Ohio State his first three seasons too.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
Also Penn State. Come to think of it, Bo was really bad in the b10.
December 6th, 2010 at 11:11 PM ^
Bo could NEVER beat Penn State.
<br>
<br>(but then, he was undefeated vs. them too...)
December 6th, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
Hey, he wasn't blown out in 2010!
December 6th, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
37-7 isn't a blowout?
December 6th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
He was talking about Penn State. Correct me if i am wrong
Edit: I thought he was commenting on the Penn State. Mea Culpa
December 6th, 2010 at 10:18 PM ^
No I was talking about the osu game in 2009 actually but true they didn't get blown out by Penn St this year either
December 7th, 2010 at 9:59 AM ^
Yo man i liked the post and Im all in for Rich Rod too...i mean how can a true Michigan fan not realize what has happen this year with injuries and even though Denard and roundtree and tate and just about the whole team had great numbers they are all Sophmores and Freshman these are kids and they made alot of mistakes with drop passes and fumbles...cant put all the blame on Rich..Hes a good coach and we will be on top soon enough
December 6th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
ya he had a real tough transistion to a completely new style of offense too huh?
December 6th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
how your point total got blown out by the board.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
No offense, but dude, how do you remember when Bo got choked up at banquets when you're a junior in high school? Anyway, there are similarities between Rich and Bo but let's not pretend that Bo and Rich are the same guy or even in the same situation after their first few years at Michigan.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
Ok you're right I should rephrase that. I've read in his books and heard from people that attended. That's probly better.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
Besides the winning part, and the defense part, , and as I type this, Mesko just wrapped up a Jets player better than any defender from Michigan has all year.
December 6th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
wasn't RR his coach?
December 7th, 2010 at 8:20 AM ^
But that part came from Lloyd, donchaknow?
