Killing another stupid meme: we had sleds last year

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrcVkDx1vD0

They are in the background all throughout this video.  See 0:28 and 2:28, etc.  I'm sure there's other videos of them actually using the sleds as well.  I went into youtube and literally opened one Countdown to Kickoff video from 2010.  I'm sure this won't stop people from parroting something they heard on BTN, though.

EDIT: OK, second video I open shows them using the sleds at 0:35 too.  It is pretty hilarious (sad?) how far some people will go to criticize the last coaching staff.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0qgFoYynDA&feature=related

Oh the tired, the sad, the RR defenders...

Look, I hate the JOB that your boy did here; I couldn't care less about the guy.  Beyond that, my gripe is that a guy whose name is "PromoteRichRod" is attacking people who would quote a Michigan All-American (who was quoting our current DC)...rather than attacking the SOURCE of the information.  It's like trusting child safety tips from someone named "EatLeadPaint".

I'll continue to trust the Michigan All-American and Defensive Coordinator over someone whose name alone reveals that his judgment is terminally impaired.  As Magnus pointed out below, there exists the possibility that multiple "sled" types exist.  I think Jon Jansen knows more that "Promote RichRod".  I also think that Mattison does as well. There's no need to attack people for trusting a very solid source.

I expect the national media to do that because they are lazy and shitting on RR makes for a great "Michigan is back" story.  When they have a choice between recycling stale memes and doing homework, they would rather recycle.  

What sucks is when people within the fanbase who should know better do it.

So true ... you're basically calling out meatheads like Tom Dienhart.

- - -

If you look back on the Rodriguez years, there are *so* many easy targets (GERG, '09 defensive recruiting decisions, Gardner's wasted redshirt, etc.). Do RichRod's critics concentrate solely on those? Oh, no -- not when they can ridicule a 5'7" DEFENSIVE TACKLE!!! (Aside: Dominique Ware, a walk-on, was once cited as proof that Rodriguez was RECRUITING MIDGETS (!!!).)

- - -

Aside (and verging on flamebait, sorry): As is my custom when bothering to vote (up in this case), I checked to see who had the nerve to -1 this. Not surprisingly, dahblue, who is apparently still afraid that Brandon might bring back Rodriguez, weighed in negatively. Keep the flame, dude! He was joined by his little buddy yoopergoblue. :)

Someone on TV said something insane, absurd and false.  It starts getting repeated all over the site and taken as fact.  I take thirty seconds after the game is over to post a link showing video evidence that the statement was false.  It gets negged.  lol

I have a pretty good case of OCD, no joke.  I mean, I'm not medicated for it, but I just checked to make sure my front door was locked.  Then I checked it again.  Then I checked . . . you get the idea.  The problem with OCD is that it very important to remember your "triggers."  As in, don't fucking let yourself get triggered in to a loop if you can help it.

The funny thing, is that I apparently have a lot of loops that contain little diverticula where my hatred for the Freep, Rosenberg, et al comes to the forefront.  Check my front right pocket, check my front left pocket, I want to punch Rosenberg in the spleen, grab my car keys, lets go.  I seriously hate them as much as you do, Section 1.  I will never forgive them for what they did and I don't think it's unreasonable to remind people of their treachery.  I will always plus one your Freep hatred.

Did the old coaching staff take the sleds with them?  That seems like a pretty silly claim to make if it's not true.  Maybe the new staff just meant they thought they needed more sleds.

I seem to remember a story (or maybe it was a post on here) about the OSU jerseys on the sleds coming to the surface a couple years ago when another tired meme was being thrown around....that the reason we were losing to OSU and MSU was because RichRod didn't care about the games enough.

Clearly, Rich Rod shredded the sleds on his way out of town. And they were the only copy of the sleds in the entire University.

Maybe Jansen was talking about when they all go up to the snow hill on the weekends....

You're right.  They didn't even have sleds, they stole West Quad dinner trays. Lack of morals!

Rich Rod obviously shredded the sleds along with all of his documents after he got fired. Duh.

 

EDIT: Damn, someone beat me to it.

Well I can think of two possible explanations:

1) Mike Martin SMASHED all the sleds in anger after the bowl game

2) GERG stole them after getting fired. Strapped them to the roof of his Prius (I always pictured GERG driving a Prius) and drove 'em right out of town.

I might be wrong (I stopped listening closely to the BTN announcers right around, oh, kickoff), but when I heard mention of Mattison talking about sleds, I got the impression he was talking about tackling sleds (a.k.a. the popsicle sled or something like it).

Let's say he's right about there being no tackling sleds (which seems unlikely but that's not what I'm concerned about here).  We've seen videos of them using tackling dummies.  Is there a major advantage to tackling sleds over tackling dummies?
