Not a Chance This is Off-Topic

Submitted by jg2112 on

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Give me a break Dudeness. Here's the context, as reported everywhere, with pics. The team held hands and "You Raise Me Up" played over the audio system.

Face it - neither you, me nor any serious Michigan fan will ever hear that song again and NOT think of Rich Rodriguez.

It's NOT A RIP ON RR. Just, Josh Groban will never again be off-topic at MGo. E-fact.

Dudeness - get a grip man. I didn't put a post up putting words in RR's mouth. He read the lyrics at the bust. He had people stand up and hold hands. Josh Groban is Michigan's Big and Rich. Get a grip - it's no big deal. I actually think it's cool. I have no idea why you think it's classless. Sports give us memories and points in time. When I'm 70 years old and I hear that song, I'm gonna think of Rich Rod. That's kind of cool in my epinion.

Now calm down.

I wasn't posting anything with any negativity; or with any intent to proclaim my opinion on whether to fire or keep RR.

I'm not sure how posting a song RR referenced means good or bad. Next year if RR is gone or if he stays the fact remains that he blared this song to the team; which is both hilarious and awesome.

I'd never heard of this song (or Josh Groban) before this morning in my life. It was some kind of hit or something? Whatever, it's an anthem now.
