Alright, I never do this (and this is the one and ONLY time I will), so please don't neg me to death.

Here goes... I am part of an organization on campus called Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) which strives to raise monetary support for the needs of pediatric rehabilitation programs at Mott Children's Hospital and the Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. Basically, dancers try to raise as much money as possible from September to the end of March at which point, DMUM hosts a 24 hour event in which we stand for 24 hours to show our support for the kids. 

This year, my goal is to raise $300 and I thought I would ask the MGoCommunity for help. If you are willing to donate the link for that is HERE! Even a penny helps! All proceeds will go to Mott Children's Hospital and Beaumont hospital. I've had the fortune of seeing some of the therapies (such as tree-climbing and riding bikes) in person and the difference they make is absolutely amazing! Thanks!

Plain and simple, congratulations to Rich Rod!
 
This is not about his time here (it's in the past!), but rather to say that there are people at Michigan who wish him well and are happy for him.

Then recommence negativity! 

Joking aside, I am hoping for a win against Rutgers as it would be a conference win against a Power 5 Conference team, on the road, at night.  If that happens, it could act to steady out this team and set us up to at least compete for a 7 win season. 

If we lose, then realistically, any hope - even the desparate, completely unteathered to reality hope expressed in the preceding paragraph - goes out the window and we likely are looking at an interim coach, and a season not worth even tuning in for.  I am still pulling for the former.
