OT: Arizona destroys Oregon, 42-16.
Happy for Rich Rod and Arizona. Kadeem Carey was a man today, and Oregon failed, as several players during the week were dismissing the possibility of the Rose Bowl because they are focused on the national title. Good for Arizona and happy to see Oregon brought down.
Edit: not trying to start any flaming, this is news and I'm happy to see big upsets, and Oregon deserved to be brought down IMO.

anyone notice that in shit rod's _best_ season we were on average outscored by 3 points per game? we've got a ways to go to match that dipshit's futility.

I'm guessing, you haven't watched any Michigan games this season...
November 23rd, 2013 at 11:55 PM ^
+9 this year rather than -3, grump.
November 24th, 2013 at 12:01 AM ^
well, we would never have a hope and a prayer of beating Oregon.
November 24th, 2013 at 12:14 AM ^
not in rr's best season here, to be sure. didn't even have a prayer of being competitive against any decent big 10 team.

set additional records for defensive futility, choked against good defenses, and lost about as often as he won, you'd have to imagine

How the fuck do you let this thread start? "not trying to start any flaming" Oh bull-fucking-shit. This is flamebait at it's finest. I hope the jackass OP gets banned.

We've officially hit an all-time Mgoblog basement low.
Your diatribes ruined everything with your whining and winging. Thankfully I'm too drunk to care anymore. Thanksgiving now for apathy.

Let them get it out of their system. The offensive problems are all due to the inexperience C and G's. Things will improve overtime. I'm not sure Hoke will be a coach to deliver NC but I think we will be headed for a good stretch of BCS bowl games.
Most thought this wold be a bit of a down season, 8-4. We may finish 7-5. I just hope the team play tough against OSU and may be we'll pull off our own upset! Saturday!
I'll be watching and rooting for the team!

This started out as a thread about a great signature win for the Arizona program under Rich Rodriguez. Where is the "bitching" in that?
The OP made exactly zero bitching comments about Michigan. The OP didn't mention Michigan. The edit to the OP disclaimed any intent to flame Michigan. It was simply about Arizona beating Oregon.
The problem (and oh yes there is a problem; you simply missed it) is with that cadre of Michigan fanboyz who cannot stand any Rodriguez success. Their current worldview is shaped by the presumption that Rich Rodriguez single-handedly ruined Michigan football. November 30, 2013 had to be a pretty shitty day for those boys. That is where the real bitching is coming from.

Bullshit.

"Their current worldview is shaped by the presumption that Rich Rodriguez single-handedly ruined Michigan football."
Appears that we have one right here! :)
Barwis Effect, I would like to note that I *love* your avatar (seriously).

if i had any sort of balls, I'd start a thread that has a google form poll: who is the better coach, Hoke or RR. Not better coach while at M, not better coach for M, just plain ole, take your guys and beat you with them, coach. That would be an interesting poll, IMO.
November 24th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and called bullshit on that. No one gave two shits about Arizona last week when they were beaten by a bad WSU state team at home, or when they lost at home to #19 UCLA. OP is a known debbie downer from the open threads and elsewhere, and this entire thread was flamebait right from the start.
OP knew what he was doing when he started this thread. We weren't born yesterday.
November 24th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
... nobody was thinking much about Arizona because our heads were spinning over what can only be described as a "clusterfuck of a win" over hapless Northwestern.
Arizona's loss to UCLA was competitive; I watched only part of it because I was having dinner after our game with Nebraska. It really wasn't the best game for either team. I didn't see any of the AZ-Wazoo game, so naturally I had little to say about it. But it was surely a case of Arizona giving a good team a good game. That's not exactly front-page news.
What was the biggest story in all of college football yesterday? A very good case can be made that it was Arizona's stunning dominance of Oregon. And it was a game that a lot of Michigan fans, sitting at home watching their television sets, got to see for themselves.
November 24th, 2013 at 12:40 PM ^
All of that is well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that the OP is the exact kind of person who would make this sort of post for the express purpose of starting a flame war in the comments section.
I mean, you all but gleefully pointed it out in your post higher up this comment chain:

That is where the real bitching is coming from.
This post was exactly that. A blatant trolling of the Michigan fan base, those deemed "fanboyz," and anyone else who has supported Hoke, as well as Rich Rod, with the same level of fervor.

RR just beat an oregon team that was clearly a shell of itself. Stanford broke that teams will, shattered both their air of invincibilty their faith in their "system". We have our goals set on becoming Stanford. RR's goal is for Arizona to become Oregon. Neither of those are bad goals and just like boxing, styles make great fights. Sometimes Frazier beats Ali and vice versa. My personal feeling is that a Stanford beats an Oregon 7 times our of 10 due to the superior intelligence of their players at every position. I'm glad that we are moving in direction of Stanford and not trying to compete for Juco's and squeek kids thru admissions that are fast and undersized.
November 24th, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
That Oregon completes the circle from Carr's resignation to RR's signature win in only the 2nd year of a rebuilding process with a QB unrecruited out of HS much to the consternation of those who never met a scapegoat they didn't like.
November 24th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
Coaches get too much credit when they are successful and too much blame when they lose.
I think it's really interesting, though, that after his first two years at Arizona, Rodriguez will have been to 2 bowl games and beaten one top-5 team and one top-10 team (USC was top ten when they won right?) At Michigan, he could not accomplish either.
So, if the coach is the same, is it the players/program that was the difference? The conference? Did Rodriguez get that much better in the one year he spent as an analyst?
Maybe Michigan isn't elite like they are percieved.

and the board is now officially in full-on cannibal/autophagy. I'm thinking we're done here for good and all. Thanks for the ride, fellas.
