According to Tim at VB who is covering Coach Rod's press conference in progress right now:

...of interest:
VB: RR says M isn't disrespectful to MSU, but he can't control what the Spartans say. M tries to focus on themselves.

Michigan doesn't respect us bit, is getting very very old.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
Yes it is to us, but it fires up those drama queens. The odd thing is, it is MSU insulting UofM through the media (calling us easy to hate, etc) not the other way around that Spartan Nation insists.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:31 PM ^
you dont have to say at VB since Tim now collaborates with brian here and shutdown the VB site.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
Agree. But, in his defense, the twitter account is still @VarsityBlue.

Carlos Brown throw him a touchdown pass by any chance?
September 30th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
Michigan Cares About Michigan. This is a great attitude - take care of yourself and you will be better off. Perhaps Sparty should worry about their team and not about how we feel about them. Maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be 1-3 if they did that.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
Right on, but I still think they would be 1-3 because they are who they are.
September 30th, 2009 at 4:36 PM ^
Perhaps they are who we thought they were.
September 30th, 2009 at 6:39 PM ^
We let 'em off the hook as well.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:36 PM ^
The danger with this type of injury is not reaggrivating it through use, but re-injuring it by running too much and getting squashed...
I hope he only scrambles and stretches for yards conservatively this game... man we need this kid.
September 30th, 2009 at 6:07 PM ^
i go back a ways. and i can't think of a true freshman QB anywhere who's had such a positive impact on a team. and i liked henne (especially playing hurt as a senior), but not even close to tate.
to tell tate not to make plays (ie. scramble) would be handcuffing him. it is what it is. he's that bucking bronco.
anyone out there know of a true freshman QB that i'm not considering? again, anywhere, anytime?
September 30th, 2009 at 3:49 PM ^
We do need him but we need him the way that he is. The fact that he scrambles and goes all out even when he knows he is going to get rocked is what makes him such an amazing kid. I still find myself in awe over the heart and determination of this kid. Without his all out style we would easily be 2-2 right now. It is scary but he has to keep it up.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:55 PM ^
Thanks for the post, OP. You made my afternoon.

and what Michigan does or doesn't do has always been Sparty's achiles heal.
Izzo said it, Saban said it.......if they'd just worry about themselves Sparty could be a solid program, but they develop and promote their own inferiority complex.
