1 year 6 weeks ago	dumb	I started going to games at The Big House when I was seven years old. I'm not considered a Michigan Man because I wanted to attend college out of state? Fuck you.
1 year 8 weeks ago	Seriously?	There have been numerous dumb comments regarding RR on this site, but yours wins first prize. STFU
1 year 8 weeks ago	Good Grief	I appreciate the fact that these men have made a choice to serve their country. However, they will be subject to a hell of a lot worse than booing from opposing fans in the very near future. I feel confident that they can handle what any other opposing team has to deal with at a typical road game. I have plenty of family members that have gone through various service academies that will tell you that the deification of service members has gone beyond the pale since 9/11. If you choose to serve, good for you, but joining in and of itself is not a heoric act and does not mean you're a patriot.

1 year 12 weeks ago	These are brutal	Less is more. That is all.
1 year 14 weeks ago	Over before it started	What a piss poor effort. Apparently we're just happy to be there.
1 year 21 weeks ago	apples and oranges	Carr's coaching record cannot minimize the damage he intentionally caused to the players, coaches, and fans during RR's tenure.
1 year 21 weeks ago	wake up	This story is nearly a year old.
1 year 21 weeks ago	contact Congress	I've worked on the Hill for the past six years and I can tell you definitively that your member of Congress will not base his/her decision regarding SOPA on constituent outrage. Check campaign contributions first. If he/she took cash from the entertainment industry then you can conclude pretty easily how they'll vote. This is normal DC culture.
1 year 22 weeks ago	who cares?	who cares if pat white or denard become nfl quarterbacks? a coach is supposed to find the best player for his system. Obviously RR has proven that he is very proficient in doing that.
1 year 25 weeks ago	I can't wait...	until your wife bangs your best friend. Hilarious!
1 year 25 weeks ago	Very Dumb	Apparently you didn't read Bacon's book because if you had you would have realized how often Denard gets accosted by super fanboys like yourself. I'm sure he was nice about it, but jesus christ, give the kid a break.
1 year 25 weeks ago	worst metaphor ever?	Yes. That is all.
1 year 25 weeks ago	Reread the book	Everything you mentioned is part of the reason the team failed on. the field. Half the senior class left in 2008 specifically due to Carr's meddling. How would Hoke have done this year with Nick Sheridan leading the team? Obviously you were biased against RR before you read the book, so it's not a surprise that you didn't enjoy the material.
1 year 25 weeks ago	Jesus Christ	Great catch. You should be very proud of yourself.

1 year 33 weeks ago	email exchange between me and Rosenberg	Michael,   Now that the public knows that you had a major role in sabotaging the career of Rich Rodriguez at UofM, what do you have to say for yourself? John Bacon's book portrays you as the vindictive leader of a witch hunt, which seems apt. I find it intersting that your sister paper is publishing excerpts of the book all week while the sham of a paper that you write for remains silent on this issue. What, you don't think Detroit cares about the three years under Rodriguez? Or is it that you don't want the public to know that you're guily of character assassination? Speaking of books, how is yours selling these days? It's good to know that Michigan fans provided some fine reader reviews to help you out.    Best,   Seth Thanks for your e-mail. The author of that book quoted me saying things I never said and assigned me motives I never had. This was not shocking, since he was granted access to the coach and made minimal attempts to contact anybody who would contradict the coach’s point of view. As a result, the book is filled with misinformation, half-truths and lies (and many of them don’t even have anything to do with me or the Free Press). I don’t have the time or inclination to detail all the book’s flaws here. But just to give a few examples: Rich Rodriguez’s own agent has stated in his deposition for the West Virginia lawsuit that he called Michigan to pitch Rich’s interest in the job, shortly after pitching Rodriguez to Arkansas; the idea that Lloyd Carr lured Rodriguez to Michigan is fiction. The author quotes Rodriguez saying the coaches never said anything to Justin Boren; in fact, Boren had already been quoted on the record about the coaches’ language. (The author also quotes the coach, in the same breath, saying he had not met me, when in fact he had. The author never asked me about this.) The author writes, with no attribution, that Carr told his players they could skip class during rivalry weeks. In fact, as a running joke, players would ask Carr if they could skip class. Nobody ever believed they were allowed to do that – except, apparently, the author of this book. In the author’s world, nobody was breaking rules, but when the team started losing, it was because they weren’t able to do what they had done before. The author also claims he “initiated” the investigation into Michigan basketball, which is ridiculous. The Free Press broke that story. (Not me – I didn’t even work here at the time.) I could go on, but I won’t. I’ve covered a thousand stories in my career and I’m not interested in rehashing this one. I never have harbored any ill will toward Rich Rodriguez. If he learns from his mistakes at Michigan, I think he can be successful in his next job. We stand by our reporting. Take care, Michael Michael Rosenberg Columnist, Detroit Free Press Author, "War As They Knew It: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler and America in a Time of Unrest" mrosenberg@freepress.com
1 year 35 weeks ago	Lighten up	I find it refreshing that Dantonio is so ashamed of his jacked teeth that he would rather people think he is a miserable, unsmiling son of a bitch.
1 year 35 weeks ago	Seriously?	This is obviously a parody...and completely brilliant!
