Rich Rod calls out Danny Hope
Don't know if anyone is watching Rich Rod's press conference, but he's really bitching about Danny Hope. Apparently he brought over the offensive lineman who was previously suspended earlier in the season, and accused RR of sending the tape to the Big Ten to cause it. RR was pissed, and basically said it was a complete bush league thing to do by Hope. Weirdest fucking portion of a press conference I've ever seen.

I hope that RR and the team remember how much people enjoyed disrespecting and dumping on them while they were down, and start pounding on people mercilessly once we get all of the pieces in place. I still think it can be done, but it sure is a painful transition.

My question is, would Hope have done it if they had LOST the game?
He better be a fuckin' great coach, because to pull dick moves like that, you better be able to back it up. At fucking PURDUE! Because you don't tug on Superman's cape...

who's Superman in this hypothetical? And yes, people, I am being sarcastic.
November 7th, 2009 at 4:50 PM ^
Funny. But, i do still think we're going to be. And, I also think that when we are, we'll run up an unmerciful score in retaliation.

Even the most pessimistic person in the world, who thinks Rich Rod is going to major FAIL, can't believe Michigan is going to be bad for all time. Now, if's it's a new coach, how much he cares about Danny Hope may vary...but Michigan will be back. It's just a matter of how long.

One of my friends just called, went on a 25 minute rant on RichRod, then proceeded to tell me that we were no longer even a major college football program, and that we'll never be good againb.

he's retarded.

than Michigan under Rich Rod hanging 70 on Purdue and Danny Hope. Also, who the fuck uses the name "Danny" when you're Hope's age. VERY high addition to the douchebag factor. I didn't think it was possible, but Hope makes Rich Rod sound like a Harvard professor in terms of speaking mannerisms. And believe me, like Brian, Rich Rod's speaking tone and mannerisms drive me fucking insane.

If that's really what happened (I saw the piece of tape and it looked like the player went up to RR by himself, but then I wasn't watching closely), WHAT A SUPER DUPER DICK MOVE. He should be fined. I was liking Purdue because they stuck it to Ohio State. No more.

Sometimes you end up looking inferior to a classless person when you take the time to point it out. We just lost at home to Purdue for the first time in over 40 years, played particularly poorly, got indisputably outcoached at several very key points of the game. Even though Hope was out of line, in RR's position, you let it go and move on. Why throw more gas on the fire?

I really didn't like RichRod bringing this up in the presser. If it's Lloyd, he talks to his assistants about this, no one else, and he whoops their butts the next time around. RichRod makes a huge deal out of it and makes us again look like we're in the middle of a mud-slinging contest in the national media.
come on richrod. come on.

I am a Purdue student and die hard fan, but this was shady. Hope was really winning me over as the season progressed, but this is just a really dumb and classless move. I looked at the hit the player gave to the guy on NIU (which caused the one game suspension), and the he clearly deserved to be punished for it. A one game suspension is no big deal.
Summary: As a Purdue student and fan, this was just shady. Danny Hope was classless on this one. Just wanted you to know what the other teams fans feel I guess. Once again, a great game though and hope you guys can take down ohio state too because they are bigger douches than Danny Hope (maybe lol)
