Anyway, I had trouble with other more empirical measurements for Rich Rodriguez somehow being a disgrace on the sidelines. Maybe you can help out with that.

We're not, and I am really happy we don't see that sign in the tunnel.
Angelique touched on it yesterday. That tunnel is more than just the way into the stadium. It is generally not a good idea to screw with things you don't understand.

Arizona fans love these videos.

I may be too old to see it happen, but I can't wait for the day to come soon enough when RichRod is OT.
August 11th, 2013 at 10:25 AM ^
I've seen worse (Freekbass and whatever that Ice Capades-esque thing was from Notre Dame, to name just a couple). Context is important here. Tuscon != Ann Arbor and, more important, UArizona != UMichigan. I'd like to know what the Wildcat fans think of the video.

Comparing Hoke to RichRod, I don't think the former is a highbrow type, but he has the situational awareness (I guess) that allows him to understand what will/won't work with that crowd.
August 11th, 2013 at 10:27 AM ^
What would they have dressed as? Hipsters cruising the farmer's market? Bro's "scouting" flag football games at the fraternities? Or Freep writers digging through the coaches' trash cans looking for stories?
August 11th, 2013 at 10:29 AM ^
It's better than the first one, which isn't high praise, but, as go16blue pointed out, at least it's not so bad it's cringe worthy.
Just think, if he had stayed at Michigan longer, he might have done one of these for Michigan with factory workers or lumberjacks or something.

Who is Rich Rodriguez??
August 11th, 2013 at 3:41 PM ^
The brother to Rich Rodriquez, our supposed former coach.
August 11th, 2013 at 6:12 PM ^
If they're brothers why do they have the same first name but different last names?
August 11th, 2013 at 10:49 AM ^
Big Money Rustlas!
August 11th, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
That video didn't seem very historically accurate, just sayin...
August 11th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
To be fair, if historical accuracy were a requirement for Westerns, about 95% of them, even big budget movies, would never make the grade.
August 11th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Every John Wayne movie is 100% accurate, because damnit, John Wayne!

Oh wait....

Here's a picture of some dude smiling.
August 11th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
We need a good dead horse beating thread every once in awhile just so everybody can get the RR out of their system.
August 11th, 2013 at 12:54 PM ^
I agree. If MGoBlog had an Outlook calendar, I'd make this a recurring appointment (3rd Monday of every month).
August 11th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
to complete the trilogy?

but without them a big +1 to you sir

If the gang hunts down the Brittle Brothers in a subsequent installment, I'll be watching.
August 11th, 2013 at 1:38 PM ^
There's nothing that can be said on this blog about RichRod that hasn't already been said, but I wish him the best at Arizona. I think he got a bad break here in a lot of respects, but in the end, he dug his own grave by not being able to field a defense. As they say, winning cures all ails. Otherwise no one would ever hire Nick Saban for anything.
I'm extremely happy to have Hoke as our head man, and am even more happy that this particular era of Michigan football is in the rearview mirror.
August 11th, 2013 at 1:55 PM ^
Sheridan......kept the ball......sacked for a loss of 2, it's third and 14.
August 11th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
Until RR takes defense much more seriously. Though in the PAC, having a good defense may not matter as much.
I know the '08 team did not have the talent of your typical Michigan team but the roster had more talent at the time then half the B1G teams. There was one good pro style QB but RR went all spread without having any spread QB. The '08 defense had the third best talent level in the conference. When you lose to a MAC team at home then you did not have your team ready to play! 6-6 was quite doable in '08.

August 11th, 2013 at 6:14 PM ^
THIS IS TOO RATIONAL FOR THE INTERNET.
August 12th, 2013 at 7:56 AM ^
Robinson / Gardner > Sheridan / Threet. I would submit to you that talent levels were NOT comparable when Rodriguez lead Michigan through it's first season.
August 11th, 2013 at 2:33 PM ^
Well this thread got really predictable.

You should have split this into five 1000-word paragraphs for the authentic Section 1 RR-thread experience.
August 11th, 2013 at 3:16 PM ^
And this is why we need the voting system back ASAP.
August 11th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
of a coach who was both sabotaged and flawed from a Mcihigan perspective because the powers in charge then created the enviironment for disaster that engulfed him when his methods met disapproval and failure based on a lot of false assumptions and expectations about how Michigan plays football.
I like to focus on the fact that RR brought two of the most unlikely heroes to Michigan, players whose ability and personality, goes way beyond breaking the stereotype normally associated with players who've succeeded in the program. Denard Robinson and Jordan Kovacs would never have played at Michigan if not for RR. And they ended up becoming captains and two of the most popular players in program history. And I always will be grateful to RichRod for their connection to the program along with all of his recruits who have proudly represented the Maize and Blue, including your likely tri-captains for this season: Taylor Lewan, Devin Gardner and Thomas Gordon.
Hoke benefitted from having those guys on his roster. Remember who recruited them.

Kudos to Rita on the video....not so much for RR.
August 11th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^

the ones who regularly read Brian Cook carefully, who bought a copy of Three and Out and studied it, and who have been closely following the program for at least 5 years if not 25 years or more; I thought those fans understood the situation with Rich Rodriguez better.
