My retort to Mr. Groban

Move along.  Nothing to see here.  I was trying to embed the video of Clark Griswold freaking out in Christmas Vacation about not getting his x-mas bonus but, for some reason, its not working.  Damn.  That is one funny scene!

Actually, Groban is pretty funny, but not this

Josh Groban, for someone in the "inspirational" (or whatever you call it) genre, is actually a funny, self-deprecating guy.  He was in that "I F*'d Matt Damon" video with Kimmel and I've read an interview or two he's done.

That said, it seems like he's making fun of people who like his songs, specifically his older ones.  I find it "telling" that he references Welcome to the Jungle in his tweet, when he's stated his favorite song ever is November Rain*.  Seems like he's putting on a pose, which I find annoying.  "I Raise You Up" is his music. Unless he's truly embarrassed by what he's produced, why make fun of others who like it?  That's weird.

(*How do I know this, when I've heard precisely one of his songs in my life? His most recent album was produced by Rick Rubin, who works with some of my favorite bands, like Metallica, Beastie Boys, Slayer, etc, so I read a couple of recent interview the two of them did).

That's a possibility, but Id

That's a possibility, but I didn't read it so much as "mocking" in a negative way.  It's his song, I doubt he looks down on it..  I saw the joke as stressing the fact that the song wasn't very timely in 2010, rather than really disaparaging Rich Rod for crying.  That being said, it is a bit of a jab at RR, but it seems fairly good natured to me...

That being said, my girlfriend is a huge Josh Groban fan and might be able to shed some light on this.

How is a song "timely"?

As someone posted in another thread, USC got together with Bill Withers to sing the song, "Lean on Me" which is 30+ years old.  That was pretty cool, and a song fits when it fits - hell, at Michigan Stadium, we play "Seven Nation Army".  That song is considered fairly new, but is older than "I Raise You Up."

I'm sure he was trying to tell a joke (generally speaking) but seemed to be making fun of people who like his "old" stuff, and indeed, looking down on his old stuff.  His new stuff with Rubin is apparently somewhat different (I just checked Amazon, and it seems like his fans are pretty split on his new direction, http://tinyurl.com/237m9cs), so I think he is being a bit of poseur ("Hey, I'm tough - I like Welcome to the Jungle! Did you hear I'm being produced by the guy who produced Johnny Cash's last 5 albums?"), and I can't stand poseurs.  If you like adult contemporary music, which I don't, fly your freak flag and go for it.  To each his own.

Now, if RR played "Happy Days are Here Again", maybe I'd go with it being too old school. But he didn't.

Genrally, people who make comments about others' manhood are usually insecure about theirs, fyi.  Not to mention RR played D1 football.  I'd say that's pretty manly.

Pretty sure he cried because he's proud of his team and he's sick of people ripping down and trying to take away everything he's accomplished, not because of the song.  But thanks for playing.

So getting emotional because a song reminds someone who is going through one of most difficult times in his career which is negatively affecting his family in a real way, that he has amazing people around him that have and will continue to support him and be a pillar of strength and a light in the darkness for him, is not being a man? 

Wow, you're quality guy.  I can't help but think that when you die Bo is gonna greet you with a knock out punch to the face.

It was the elephant in the room and he addressed the topic. I am sure everyone there as well as people not there were glad he spoke on the topic.

He is the secret child between Barbara Streisand & Barry Manilow

This is not a knock on RR picking the song, but I just wish I could get a snapshot of Barwis face when that song came on!

@ is the account name. It helps find tweets for that person. In this case @joshgroban is the poster, but if you add that to a tweet, he will see it. # basically signifies a category. If I posted "#Michigan beats #Illinois 67-65 in 3OT. #FootballScores" anyone searching for Michigan, Illinois, or general football scores will find that.

She is much older than him. She didn't just start singing a couple of years ago in my E-pinion. I can picture her in some swanky British pub singing her face off before Groban was even a sperm.

So now the RichRodHaterz find further support to have him fired

for his taste in music or inspiration? 

Whatever inspires his team.  And there is no doubt in my mind that these kids support him and he is their coach throughout this.  They play for him and for each other.

Not trying to be offensive

I'm trying to say this is the least offensive way possible, but I don't understand why RR would be talking about how hard his life is (hence the talking about Groban song).  Shouldn't that event be about honoring the senior players?

If you listen to the audio...

He got choked up talking about raising up the young men that he and other coaches have invested in and they're committed to raising up the young men on the team.  Then he turned the concept around and gave a nod to the way the players have raised and lifted up him by sharing their accomplishments (and anyone who invests in the younger generation can agree that their success lifts them up).  It was a good tribute to the players and how they encourage the coaches indirectly through their own success on and off the field. 

RR made jokes about the hot seat and gave a classy speech overall.  He expressed a large amount of thanks to everyone and the purpose of playing the song was a tribute to the people who have been encouraging the staff and they've raised them up in all the difficulty.  He also shared that the players deserve people focusing on the positive more than the negative.  Awards banquets are always cheesy (and he acknowledged it was cheesy but fitting).   Made a great point about all eras being unified as well - "One Michigan, Proud of Every Era".  He wasn't begging for his job and anyone who claims he was is a liar.

he said he listens to it with his wife

so what I am thinking is that she played it once and he really wasn't listening and she asked him what he thought and he was all like 'yah thats cool' and b/c he wasn't really paying attention he had no idea what song it was and now everytime she plays it he has to pretend he likes it or otherwise his wife will know that he doesn't pay attention to her

just a guess

Re. Groban - You're not missing much.  He's lame.  He sings really sappy songs that middle aged ladies (and apparently RR) sit around and cry to while they listen.

Re. Twitter - Also kinda lame, IMO.  I don't get it either and I'm under 30.  Actually, someone posted a nice little post above that explains Twitter in a nutshell quite well.

Other Big Ten schools piping in this damn song whenever they're beating us...the bright side is he could've picked a song like Puff Daddy's "Public Enemy #1"

 

Lets go,
thats that beat right here
who should I fear
throw your hand in the air
socialise, get down, let your soouulll lead the way
cause i'm that enemy that you can't see
who you wanna be, you ain't shit to me
It ain't hard for you to get to me
playa, my own dogs, they'll spit fo me
so if you want whats mine, you gots to have the heart
I've seen em come and i've seen em part
If you ain't want beef then why did you start?
Front from the light catch shots after dark
suffer duck or you'll catch these
on the spot, red dots make em all believe
ain't nobody kicking the rhymes like these
see I do the things that they can't achieve
so don't start bassin' an' i'll start pacing
bets on that you'll be discracing
more hotter than the sun,
I'm living on the run
because i'm Public Enemy number one

whoa... ez there Mike.  If anything, I think Groban is mocking that everyone is making such a big deal over the song.

Your right bro

Its just gotten absurd. The hatred for this man is something that just disgusts me. The twisting of everything and the shit he has been handed is so frustrating. I feel like I have been there with him through it because I have been so attached to this team since childhood. I think he is a good man and regardless if people like him as a coach or not does not excuse this garbage. Like Terry Foster today. I just want to go off on this guy. Anyway, it is what it is. Go Blue

Agreed 100%.  It's a sad, sad day when folks line up with Snyder, Foster, and Rome and think they're supporting Michigan in the process.  Even if you want RR fired, I'm not sure how mocking him or the song he chose represents "The Leaders and the Best."

I'm right there with you and mike

I do believe that in general what goes around comes around, and I'll celebrate the day when Foster and his ilk reap what they've sown. Fucking assholes. (sorry, but I'm so fucking sick of seeing richrod treated like this.)

the sad truth is

if Dantonio were to play a song with religious overtones, he would heralded for being a man of faith

RR plays it and he's a giant sissy

I agree with both points

I think the mass would view Dantonio as a good guy if he did that. I also agree we as a fanbase would joke about it. But I think the reasons are different. I think Rod is genuine. But people have an agenda from this picture that has been painted. Dantonio would be mocked by us because he is a fake douchebag that nobody but those suckers in east lansing take seriously. And thats not a biased statement. Dantonio is a fraud. His actions on player misconduct this year proved it once again among other things. .

Dantonio is corny all the time.  He has a cheesy one liners prepared for his post-game interviews every game.  MSU fans have no leg to stand on if they're heckling you about this.

Rome on RR

Jim Rome just piled on to our coach on his show taking this thing nationwide. But if our own fans do it, then how can I bitch about Rome.  Man, this is getting ugly beyond belief but it's really a disgrace the Michigan fans started the pile.

For what it's worth, Rome said.. "what top recruit worth his salt would want to play for him?" When is the fanbase gonna say ENOUGH?  The display by Michigan fans is disgraceful. Good thing his players show more loyalty than on here.

I've heard Groban is one of those guys that doesn't really care for the type of music he makes. But you can't really blame him for doing it since that terrible music has made him millions of dollars.

I've also heard that Groban likes his ladies to pop.

I think it's classless

If Groban is joking, it isn't clear to me what's so funny.

BTW, I made the mistake of listening to Groban do a duet with someone (Celine Dion?). Instead of trying to create harmony, Groban just drowned her out.

Not that I was ever a fan.

RR says something nice about the dude's song and he thanks him by  kicking him when he's down.  Classy.  Like we don't don't have enough dickheads making pop music.

His music blows. Anyway, does anyone think that he's a dead ringer for the chick from Nightbreed?

That song is one of the most

That song is one of the most cheese-ball lame things I've ever heard in my life.  I'm not as down on RR as some are, but I bet Harbaugh listens to way better music than this, fwiw.

If Groban did TWEEET this

he is a mockery of the spirit & message of the song.  My mom asked for his CD for Christmas ... she is getting the gal from England.

So the eff what?

I've said it numerous times here, I loved that we had a real intellectual philosopher-coach in Lloyd. That was awesome, and a perfect fit for Michigan. He's gone. I don't give a crap that RR ain't Lloyd. RR has proven himself to be an absolutely upstanding guy who invests everything he has to help his players. He works his ass off, and he is humble despite getting dumped on continuously. What the fuck difference does it make if likes crappy music? That's what I'm saying.

But RR is a win at all costs guy, right?

How can he possibly show emotion like this if he is a win-at-all costs guy? - which people were accusing him of being after the Dorsey and Feagin nonsense.

Now he shows that he really does care about the kids under his wing, and the UNACCEPTABLE crowd flips out.   Now they think he's too soft or something.

I'm not happy about the losing records and the NCAA violations, but this is just getting to be too much.   RR can't do anything right in the eyes of some people. 

At this point, I hope RR stays and I hope he goes 12-0 next year just to shut these haters up.

I think that we have to keep

I think that we have to keep RR no matter what now.  How fun will it be when a Groban-listening, tear-shedding, no-defense-having, West Virginian turns the corner with the program and starts walloping some of these schools that have been enjoying our struggles?  Beating our rivals again will be fun.  Beating them with a coach that they had previously branded as a moron will be even more fun.

I'm going to pretend to not know who Josh Groban is.

I believe this will gain me much cred (and mgopoints).
