Tressel-ball vs. Rich Rod - with link

Submitted by tsabrak on
First let me apologize for not getting this into the message board portion, but I lurk and don't post too often (i.e. newb) and am therefore not yet worthy of message board postings.

I ran across this article for your viewing pleasure: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Deconstructing-The-grisly-demise-of-Tressel-Ba?urn=ncaaf,189322

In regards to this article, I found it very informative when compared to Brian's UFR information, especially in regards to RR's "counter counter counter to the counter" of the "scrape" play.

Unlike Dr. Sat, I don't know that I would be looking to transfer if I were Pryor, but I do know that it reaffirms my faith in Rich Rod's coaching acumen.  I truly believe that the Ace in the hole that set us over last Saturday came down to the coaching battle and Rich Rod&Co. came out on top of Jabba.  I also believe that as we look down the list of our opponents, that there is not a single coach that remains on our schedule that we don't win that "intangible" battle.

Lastly, I have to admit that I loved Lllllloyd as our coach.  He had a sense of honor and dignity that I felt exemplified U of M football; however, I think that this article really illustrates how far behind the curve "Lloyd-ball" was...even up against "Tressel-ball."  In 2007, injuries, penalties, etc all played a big part.  But my greater feeling is that we were actually out-coached.  And as much as 2008 was painful, and as much as I heard "fans" questioning coach Rod for not easing into his spread offense - I wouldn't have had it any other way.  When you jump into something that big, you go "all in" - and I can say with certainty that I am "all in" for Michigan and Coach Rod.

Go Blue!

being new, the number one piece of advice is, if the information is more than four hours old, it's probably already here somewhere. And being a newb...eh (correction) "n00b" doesn't last long. Advice #2: know the difference between there, their and they're. It crucial to survival. And it's common sense. The good news, you heven't been negged into obilivon, yet. Anyway, thanks for the link, I hadn't caught it yet. Good read.

I will not mix my possesive pronouns, adverbs or contractions. If I did in my earlier post, please flog me now! And I completely appreciate the quality control as well - thanks.
