Trolls Fear Rich Rod
It actually makes me feel even more confident in the future of this program under Rich Rod when I see the trolling going on here by fans of other teams wanting and encouraging the dismissal of RR. The fear level of our opponents is climbing even with things still not firing on all cylinders. When we field a midling defense in the next year or two there is going to be a lot of crying in the Midwest....I doubt they will come back here and admit it though.
Thank you kind trolls for your fear----it brings warm feelings to my heart.
Go Blue!

No, they are laughing at you for not being a supportive fan and for not realizing that this was not a serious post. For the record, there was a whole country who feared his offense 3 years ago to the tune of Alabama settling for Saban when RR shot them down. In time this program will be competing at the highest level....2012/2013 will be a MNC game for us....
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
Yes, you are right. Ohio State and Michigan State fans laugh at Michigan fans who aren't "supportive".
Get a grip. Half my family went to MSU. Only my uncle and I went to UM. THEY ARE LAUGHING AT US. Everytime I get together with my MSU family members, all I get from them is ho much they love Rodriguez and how they now get to kick our butts every year. The only thing they fear is that he won't be around to be their punching bag for much longer.
Could Rodriguez eventually build a team that was fearsome? Maybe. Right now? No way. Teams can't WAIT to play us and pay us back for all those years we owned them.

Grow the fuck up. Don't take everything they say so personally.
Do the world a favor. Get a vasectomy, so you're unable to create any more vaginas like yourself.

Wow, you're a big man for swearing and using such naughty words! Does your mommy know you are using the internet?
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
"Oh no! My family members are laughing at me! I don't know how to deal with the situation!"
November 24th, 2010 at 12:24 AM ^
Is that what I said? No. I said that the idea that our opponents fear Rodriguez is ridiculous becuase they are actually laughing at our current misfortunes. It's pretty hard to fear someone when you can't stop laughing. Maybe if we actually start playing well against good teams they will start worrying, but we haven't beaten anyone really good since the Florida bowl game.
But hey, no more potty words in your last post, so that's a positive.

you sir are clever, i don't know how you do it. I always catch a jhackney sighting with a great pic at the right time. If I could +1 you I would.

When the guy telling others to grow up reduces himself to petty namecalling and childish insults in an effort to cover up the fact he has no point to prove?
Nice work, aaamichfan.
Message board guy at his, er, best.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
Now *that* is laughable.
I would have enjoyed beating them this year, but above all, I want them fat and happy and thinking they have some relevance before reality strikes. I hope they enjoy this year, because it will be the last time that program sees anything other than an occasional conference play-off game.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
Yah they made a pretty piss poor choice in Saban.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
I agree it has worked out well for them, but they believed they would be better with RR.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:38 PM ^
What they fear is Jim Harbaugh. Most rival fans were actually happy we beat Illinois and Purdue cause it probably means Rich Rod's job is safe. It felt like last year when we wanted Notre Dame to be just good enough so they would keep Charlie. Our fanbase is divided big time and it will only get worse if we don't win or keep it close on Saturday. Brandon has a real tough decision to make.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
Didnt Harbaugh say some pretty harsh stuff regarding Michigan when he took the job at Stanford.....how quickly has this been forgotten?
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
6-17 Big10 record will do that I guess.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
We are undefeated in Big Ten play the last three years when leading at the end of the game.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
Stop by to congratulate us on a new commit named Justice?
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
I have always claimed to support the Michigan coach, but the day that wins and losses are put ahead of everything else, I'm done. To hire him after he shot his mouth off about the university in the hope he can win a few games would make me physically ill. A2 would have met it's destiny and realized it was indeed a cheap whore.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
BULLSHIT.
You get off that high horse. When Michigan rolls out under a new coach, you'll be there. Harbaugh or not.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
He did and Mike Hart told him where to stick it. But right now it seems like if we were to make a change it would be Harbaugh or bust. That is why Brandon is in a real tough situation. The hottest coach on the market is a former alum who has done an incredible job at Stanford of all places. We either pull the trigger (he has said its his dream job... but so did Les Miles) or he probably joins his brother in the NFL.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:14 PM ^
He hasn't won against a ranked B10 team so far.
I know we have been very very thin on defense the past couple of years - but still, it is concerning nonetheless.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:18 PM ^
Wisconsin was ranked when we beat them in 2008.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Sadly that Wisconsin team ended up being a fraud.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
I do find several things to be a bit disconcerting, however.
WTF is deelithium? Is that next year, when Denard hands off to Dee Hart? Is he going to pass him the Dilithium, or will it just rub off on the ball? What if Justice wants some? Will Einstein's theories still be relevant at that point, or will we need strings and loops? Now I am so confused.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
trolls don't fear RR then just want to make us go against our fanbase. We all understand right now Michigan is summed up as; a freshmen defense, the scheme that isnt working, the offense is explosive, stop kicking the ball! However stand by your team, these freshmen won't quit! The defense will keep fighting. When Junior caught that ball, I said "thank you AMHG". The Game still has to be played! So for 60 minutes our Michigan football team will face a tough challenge, win or lose I still love Michigan football. Root for the underdog, because anything can happen on "Any Given Saturday" Go Blue!

The only people they should fear on Michigan are Barwis, Molk, and Martin. Come to think of it I would love to see Martin and Barwis face off in the octagon. HOW do we make this happen?
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
Posted in the wrong place.

This surely was an interesting 2am read.
November 24th, 2010 at 2:13 AM ^
I have had the same sentiments about anti-RR trolls for almost three years now. If you are an MSU or OSU fan, your worst nightmare is RR getting enough time at Michigan to fully install everything with his own class of fifth-year seniors. And it will get even better once being back on top gets even better players to come to Michigan.
If the administration is patient enough, things could "set up" to a point where Michigan has their greatest period of success since the 40's.
November 24th, 2010 at 7:45 AM ^
You need to better inform yourself about Michigan football history.
UM's greatest period of football success was not the 40's. It was the 39 consecutive winning (with one .500) seasons that ended upon the beginning of the Rich Rod nightmare.
November 24th, 2010 at 2:23 AM ^
Fans of rival teams (minus ND) love Rodriguez because they've beaten him a lot and they don't follow Michigan football closely enough to know the specifics of the situation. They assume that he cannot coach defenses, as Michigan's defense has gotten worse every year he's been here and that as long as Michigan has terrible defenses, they'll beat us regardless of how good our offenses are. Many assume he will be fired and are just laughing at us about the past three years.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:02 AM ^
I work with an OSU grad and he has said over and over he actually hopes RR makes it so we are relevant again. We make each other stronger. And he kinda feels sorry for me.
