I'm guessing he's not going to really be enjoying the day, though.
I think he will. It will be nice to move this shit along and get on with his life.
It is when things linger that it sucks.
Fuckin' lingerers, man.
that's why he gets the snicklefritz
There's more stuff in August and then the final statement by the NCAA isn't due until sometime in the fall.
something else happens this fall, too, but i am at a loss.
the edit button is gone, so I am going to reply to my own post...
It will be nice when this shit is over so I can get on with my own f-ing life.
Sad, huh?
Rich.
Have a great day and keep your eye on the prize.
I'm all in for some cake and ice cream.
Has anyone had those coldstone ice cream cupcakes? Delicious.
EDIT: According to Cold Stone's website, the one on the left is called Michigan State, and the one on the right labeled Notre Dame. Just Kiiiiiiidding. Kind of.
How do you wrap restrictions on practice time and newly-imposed limits on the amount of QC assistants you can hire?
Is that something you use a bow for? Or maybe gift cards?
In all seriousness, happy birthday coach! Have a Go Blue summer and go get 'em in 2010!
Hey RR - Happy Birthday. Dont forget to get your 6 free bagels from Zingermans.
Rich Rod has had to deal with a lot of garbage, some self-inflicted, some of it completely out of line.
I hope the upcoming year is as awesome for him as the last two have been difficult.
This is your year!!!
Happy Birthday, Coach Rodriguez!
Happy Birthday indeed. Definitely noticed it in my news feed on facebook that his birthday was coming up and I was almost anticipating it... I need to get out more haha
2010 should be a Go Blue year !!!
Happy B-Day Coach!!
Happy birthday RR. Good luck out there in the maize-and-blue jungle.
I shall celebrate at lunch with cake (or the closest thing I can find in the vending machine), and then a nice tall beer tonight with dinner. Here's to you, coach! Cheers!
got 'em mixed up. half to pretend to sober agian at wirk. can someone ride me home from work?/
they are delicious this time of year.
I've given up sweets for April and May, but by golly, that thing looks tasty (the first pic looked better).
Now back to work.
HAPPY BDAY COACH
BEWARE IF THE FREEP SENDS YOU SOME YELLOWCAKE!!
I think your Caps lock key is broken. Could you get that fixed plz?
I was going to start a thread this morning about this, but I thought people would think I was creepy. Happy Birthday coach Rod. To hell with the haters and doubters. We got your back.
Someone else on this blog has the more authentic spelling of the Yiddish phrase, so I'll play safe and stick to the vague translation. (Generally it refers to 120 years, but if we're talking about points in the coming year, feel free to raise the ante.)
Also second the motion that this year and those that follow more than make up for the last couple.
Happy b'day, Coach!
But the gist is "May you live to be 120" - that's how old Moses was when he died
And Happy Birthday Rich
There might be 2 different phrases, in Yiddish and Hebrew. My sig line is Yiddish, meaning (roughly) "live to a hundred like a twenty year old".
And I mean it. To all of you.
If someday I see 60 year old men drinking AFTER they hurl, fighting over an unremarkable woman, passing out pissed drunk and having their buddies write grotesque saying on their faces with Sharpie markers, then I'll know my work here is done.
Happy birthday Coach!!
Ah, a much more desirable wish. Mom used the German phrase: bis hundert und zwantzig. +1 for your version. Thanks.
Ha, RR turns 47 about 3 months before me! Well I hope we can both retire about the same time in the next 20 years. RR the great winning coach from the UM, and me just a cog in the system.
Happy Birthday coach! I see a BCS bowl game in your future.
Today is my birthday as well- #52. Looking forward to a VICTORious year.
This is a pretty good sports birthday, including Joe Dumars, Tracy McGrady, Bartolo Colon, former Tiger Danny Bautista, NFLer Jason Babin, Jim Mora and Hector "Macho" Camacho.
Also, Alfred Molina, Bob Dylan, Kristin Scott Thomas and John C. Reilly.
I'm all in for the best birthday of the year. GO BLUE!
Hmmm, wonder what he'll be wishing for when he blows out those candles?
whispering… it’s a contract extension…. shhhh
Happy Birthday RR. I wish you well and hope that you are able to have a great day surrounded by family and friends. This is your year RR. 2010=Redemption!
Did you get my fruit basket?
the banana was a little small.
It is my Dad's birthday too and he loves the Wolverines.
Happy Birthday to both of them.
Go Blue!
I love you dad
You are a good man, good coach and the right man for the job. Go Blue!
Happy birthday to RichRod. After the last two years of taking so much unnecessary crap it will be awesome to see him get everyone back this year.
