Rich Rod is one of the top five coaches in the country. His offense...with a bunch of veterans that don't fit the system, and a true freshman at quarterback...was the #1 scoring offense in the big10. The talent level is rising quickly on the defense. We're going to finish very strong in recruiting. We're going to be winning national championships before you know it. Everyone is hating on us right now. The bandwagoners have all jumped off. Get ready for the turn around baby. Go back and watch that WVU/Oklahoma bowl game. Rich Rod's team of veteran two and three stars was d-o-m-i-n-a-n-t dominant. Imagine what he's going to be able to do with all of these four stars in the future. The wheels are in motion and I couldn't be more excited. There isn't another coach in the nation that I would rather have.

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED about the future of this program!!!
I think the majority of posters on this board agree with you to a certain extent. Coach Rod needs enough time to completely implement his system.
EDIT: or they don't agree

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED about the future of this thread!!!!!
Look, I support RR, want him back, and am clinging to past performance as an indicator of future results. But I can't fathom anyone so positive and actually EXCITED. More power to you, and may all your statements come true.
I don't know, this dude has posted 9 new vapid topics a day for the past 2 weeks.
I think you mean valid, or maybe you mean rapid, easy on K06 he is a rabid M fan and we need more of those. Have you seen the depth charts? The guy is indefatigable
Like I said I think you meant valid.
If you guys over at WLA had k06 on your team you wouldn't be a liberating army you would be conquering hero's!
I have to agree with chitownblue2 here. k06 has a bout 4 new posts every morning on here and most of them are re-posts. Some have some new and interesting content but for the most part they are redundant.
And I'm just not getting it.
I'm surprised he didn't throw up another depth chart.
Is this a manifestation of a new bizarro phase of grieving?
I'm talking spit take funny, man. Nice work. +1
ABOUT MY DOG FINALLY SHEDDING HIS MORTAL COIL AND (OF COURSE) GOING TO HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!
I just read this on rivals - in this specific quote he is responding to a question regarding our progress at 5-7 from 3-9:
"The standards at Michigan are different. Five wins is not enough, especially when you only win one Big Ten game. I know where this team was a year ago. I know they were 3-9, but in my opinion, they didn't make nearly as much progress this year as we expected."
"There were a few positives, but tell me what tangible goal they accomplished? They didn't have a winning record, they're not going to a bowl game, they obviously didn't compete for the Big Ten title - they weren't even in the hunt when November started - and they lost to their rivals Michigan State and Ohio State. Tell me what part of that you're satisfied with?"
I agree that we need to be patient and that RR deserves more time - RR needs to get his players, we need to have a roster of upperclassmen, and use all of our scholarships but 8-16 is pathetic. This system with underclassmen, slow lineman and a true freshman at quarterback should still be AT LEAST a middle of the pack Big Ten team.
It has been well documented that if Mich does not go at least 6-6 next year, it will be RR's last.
If RichRod doesn't get to 6-6 next year, I'd have no problem with him being fired, but where it is "well-documented" that he will in fact be fired if that's the case? I'm not sure it's been "documented" at all. MSC's quote that three years isn't enough time in which to judge a coach seems to indicate the exact opposite.
...to listen to RON SIMPKINS take on the direction of the University of Michigan football?
QUOTE: "This system with underclassmen, slow lineman and a true freshman at quarterback should still be AT LEAST a middle of the pack Big Ten team."
Read that three times, stop and then read it again. Maybe then you will understand what you just typed.
I think Brian all year has stated why we were not a good football team. What's even more laughable is that your "reasoning" for being "AT LEAST a middle of the pack Big Ten team" actually better underscores why we had the season we did.
Just wondering, were you a Michigan athlete? No, you were not. It is understandable that you cannot comprehend what it means to be a Michigan athlete and therefore why you think we would have to go through a rebuilding process under RR. You should go to Schembechler Hall and talk to some of the upperclassmen who were not recruited for Rodriguez's system - tell them to their face that they are the reason that we went 1-7 in the conference and 5-7 overall - because they are not good enough athletes to block the guy lined up across from them. Tell them they don't have what it takes. Oh and don't forget to tell them its okay, because 6-18 is respectable for a Michigan team when the players don't fit the system and we are in a "rebuilding process"
if you want i'll tell them! and i think most of them will partly agree. their love of mich. brought them here and kept them here, but most of the old guard are not suited for the "rebuilding process" the spread needs more mobile smarter lineman than what was usually recruited here. we know and they know it. does that mean they didn't work their ass off and bleed blue when they got cut? hell no! but that also doesn't mean they were the best suited and prepared for this offense.
Me neither.
See, even Sparty agrees!
DO NOT MAKE ME BEAT YOU
are belong to us.
Was it the tarot card reading?
Can we have like a soliloquy thread stickied at the top of the forum? It would probably reduce quite a lot of clutter.
but I actually agree with you! We know that players, recruits, player's parents, and others read this board. We should keep a thread like this stickied at the top of the forum (at least until signing day)to put the MGOCommunity in the best light possible.
P.S. - I like your tagline ( I agree with that too).
It's more that I don't like looking at those jerseys. I don't think i've ever seen someone look more uncomfortbale in a jersey than Brandon Minor. Sssssstretched across his torso.
aaa: Is that J.B. Smoove in your avatar photo?
makes me want to hear the Rocky 4 soundtrack. And I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
We need a mon-taaage!
Hypothetically I wish UM would be rocky, since he wins.
But then again, he is overworking himself, thus causing major violations to occur about the amount of practice time, and other nonsense.
Edit: Double Post'd :(
I think we all should follow his advice and go back and watch that Oklahoma game. After that there should be no doubt because that was a legit OU team.
not a single ounce of sarcasm in the original post boys
Ok, I applaud the enthusiasm but stop posting so many damn forum topics. Moderation is key.
Up the slope of hope we go!
I've noticed every time I make a comment disagreeing with you someone mysterious negs me. Also, upvoting your own posts is redundant and pathetic. A word of advice: Brian might just give you a shitload of points if you annoy enough people, you can ask Bouje* for advice on this.
*now rehabilitated
I'm not negging anyone bro. Take a look through the thread. Even people agreeing with me are getting negged.
I've been getting negged like crazy lately for seemingly every post i make, regardless of quality or content.
My best guess is that a number of people are negging you for even responding to me.
Well, you do have a -1072 vote total in 1556 votes. So you're negging somebody. That's 1314 downvotes to 242 upvotes. Just sayin'.
...it's happening on other threads too. Someone needs to get to the bottom of this
Just ignore it, nobody's getting free ice cream no matter how big their stack of points is.
FWIW, if you happen to be looking at the "I'm a chick" thread, I let everyone know I was going to neg everyone for posting in that thread. FTR, I also negged myself.
But yeah, it's the off season, it's bound to happen. Enough with the mgopoints talk.
[insert generic fight club "1st rule about..." joke]
[insert generic fight club "2nd rule about..." joke]
BOOM VOTE TOTAL'D
I don't care if you're negging me, I just noticed you seem really concerned with your point total and maybe you should cool it. I don't know why else you'd be upvoting your own posts. And don't say you aren't negging a lot of people, because there are statistics on these things, you know, and I can just look them up and, voila, now I know that's bullshit.
Point totals are serious business brah. Without points, you're nothing but an impotent boob.
+1 anyway though.
That mysteriously happens to me too.
You're never really rehabilitated from being Bouje, just sayin. He still has momentary relapses now and again.
be more excited. your title was only half in CAPS LOCK and your exclamation points did not contain any 1's. please come back when you are EXCITED!!!!11
You wouldn't rather have a coach who has won national championships like Pete Carroll or Bob Stoops or Urban Meyer? I mean, I like Rodriguez and everything...but if he's just a "top five" coach, then there must be someone better than him or else you would have said "#1 coach."
at least Meyer would've immediately given the MSU brawlers a half-game suspension.
Double post
yes...but do you want...
#1) pete carrol - i guess he might be able to set devin and his family up in a nice 200k house?
#2) nick saban - he's never been 'caught' cheating, but the rule book is re-written every single season in response to the 'loop holes' that he finds.
#3) urban meyer - the one person that lloyd carr has ever called out publicly for not having class?
#4) brian kelly - one of the biggest a-holes in all of coaching...bobby petrino II, perhaps?
#5) bob stoops - the great coach who got bi*** smacked by rich rods crew of 2 and 3 stars? boise as well?
I am pos banging with reckless abandon because we are all brothers and with the exception of the few sisters. I even accidentally pos banged myself, now I feel dirty.
If forced to think about next year, I am excited too. But first let me mourn a little while longer about Michigan being bowless again. Another Holiday season with the inlaws and no Michigan bowl game to use as a reason to excuse myself...This whole mourning thing might take longer than I thought.
could not be more excited about the future of the Michigan program!
is bouje in disguise
Oddly enough, that was my first thought when he started posting. Same sort of almost strange optimism and massive posting.
This optimism is crazy. I'm pumped for next year but you're excitement is enough for about 5 fans combined. This may be more annoying than TomHagan. Wait, nope.
... I'm addicted to MGoBlog.
Evidence - I read every post of this thread, and after the first 10 or so, I have no idea why.
Someone hack into my computer and log me off!!!!!
