| 23 weeks 1 day ago | Christmas |
If this is the last thread that ever appears where people... 1) Thank RR for all he has done 2) Wish him the best of luck wherever he goes 3) Talk about how many wins he would have ...then Christmas has come early this year (as in, the Christmas that contains no red)

| 25 weeks 4 days ago | The real reality |
No, the reality of the situation is that the current staff just won 3 more games than the last staff with the same team, plus an extra year of experience. All of the losses were close while only two of the wins were close. |
| 25 weeks 4 days ago | Why keep posting about RR |
Why do people keep posting about RR? Its always a divisive topic, digs up a bunch of arguments we've all seen here a thousand times, creates hard feelings, etc. I seriously think this all goes back to people wanting to prove how right they were (whether original "supporters" or "haters"), and its pathetic that people just won't let it go. The three years are a black mark on the program no matter who was to blame (and there was a lot to go around, to RR, the administration, former players, etc). You would think a 10 win season would be enough to turn the page, but apparently not. The greatest win in years is just another reason to dredge up another littany of RR threads. We get it - he's got a new job, we all support him 100% (or not), Arizona will be all of our new second favorite program (or not), and his recruiting had some positive effect on our recent 10 win season. Let's move on.

| 25 weeks 4 days ago | There's a difference between a head coach and an OC |
I don't know how anyone could watch this team all year and think that RR could take the same kids and win 10 games. Its an insult to what this staff just did. Turning a year of the calendar does not turn kids from hopelessly lost to above average. It may be part of it, but coaching has a much greater impact. Besides that, it makes me cringe every time I read a "with the right DC" comment. He struck out twice hiring a DC, and its obvious many of his defensive coaches were sub-par. A brilliant offensive coordinator he may be, but that does not make him a great head coach. It wasn't all his fault, he was certainly playing against a stacked deck when he came in, by most accounts he seems like a good guy, but he didn't get the job done, he's gone, we now have an excellent coaching staff, so let's move on without having the daily RR tongue bath thread.

| 36 weeks 1 day ago | You are both wrong. Buffalo |
You are both wrong. Buffalo loves the Bills but is a declining small market city. The fact that they can sell out any game is a testament to their love of the team - especially since they have sucked for about 20 years now. As a previous season ticket holder, at least 1/3 of the Bills games are people from Ontario, its actually probably more like half. And Toronto can barely get 20K people to a CFL game! TV ratings are misleading because they show only the Canadian station ratings when games are available on US networks in Canada - so when you see stats showing that viewership for the CFL is above that of the NFL, you aren't getting the whole story. Its a terrible sports city but the corporate interests alone could support an NFL team, even if the fans don't deserve it.

| 37 weeks 1 hour ago | ESPN Player works |
I live in Canada and have ESPN Player, it shows everything and the quality is actually better than ESPN3 (from what I've seen from relatives who have ESPN3 in the US). Everything that is on an ESPN network, even regional games, you will get. Also, for those who are asking, the Rogers Super Sports Pack and the Bell NCAA package are both showing the game, but its not on network TV. Hope that helps (I'll be at the game!)

| 1 year 10 hours ago | They will all be exposed |
If and when something like the 25 man rule is implemented it will be very easy to see in hindsight what a bunch of liars these guys are. i.e. The number of signees that actually make it to the start of the season will remain the same as before the rule was implemented, medical hardships will go down, as will the number of players who "create the issues himself that he made a decision to leave the program". Thus falsifying their claim that they sign so many guys so that they still have a full class when people start leaving as they "voluntarily" leave the program. What a lowlife.

I didn't know that you could trade first round picks in the Q, but I know for sure that you can't in the OHL. Just look it up. You can't even trade the player that you select in the first round in the first year outside of a specific window. If Domi doesn't report, then Kingston would get another first round pick next year right after their 2012 first round pick.

You don't take a guy in the first round in the OHL unless you are sure he is going to play. Especially if your coach is the player's former teammate and friend. Its not an OHL superiority thing, its circumstance. In the OHL, first round picks are like gold. There is no free agency so its your only way to get top talent players. Imagine the NFL x100 in terms of how valuable the first round pick is. So valuable, in fact, that teams aren't even allowed to trade picks in the first round - only any round after that.

| 1 year 15 weeks ago | zzzzzzzzz...tired, old, |
zzzzzzzzz...tired, old, boring. And I don't think he means "wrong to support" RichRod, I'm pretty sure he means "wrong to think he was going to be successful at Michigan". So as the starter of this sub-section of this thread ("Anyone else getting tired of...") let me start: I was wrong to think RichRod could be a successful coach at Michigan. My doubts started early but were solidified at this year's MSU game, which I attended. That was the turning point, and watching what happened for the rest of the year, I had seen enough. Up until then I really thought he could do it. I work in a profession where the very best in the business are wrong 40% of every decision they make, so maybe its easier for me to admit it, but I was wrong. Not everything was his fault, but a lot of it was. It wasn't going to work and not solely because there was a conspiracy against him from the MSM and inside the Athletic Department. This fan base is truly bizarre, anywhere else - a coach with his record would be despised, not beloved. But as I said, let's move on instead of creating post after post as to what a great guy he is, and how you will support him no matter where he goes.
