Important Rich Rod Updates
Can be found at this site:
Stop making constant dumb ass board topics multiple times a day for every 3 star commit Arizona gets, especially when Michigan isn't even interested.
Also I am well aware of the hypocrisy of creating a board topic complaining about other board topics. But at least this topic concerns material relevent to the MGoBoard, unlike Arizona Wildcat posts.

the title of this thread was an oxymoron. I then read the content of your post, and was happy.

I don't get it.

Such an underrated show.

He isn't at Michigan now. Coach Brady Hoke is. Let's talk about him.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
I agree. We are over one year out, anything RichRod related doesn't belong here anymore
January 25th, 2012 at 5:07 AM ^
January 24th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
Important and Rich Rod used in the same sentence are a contradiction in terms.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:27 PM ^
What if he gets a commitment from
Demar Dorsey and hires Troy Woolfolk as a grad assistant?January 24th, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
Then I greatly fear for all of the Arizona DB's ankles and tendons.

test scores.

Lord knows AZ Desert Swarm could use the traffic (check out the comment numbers on the pages). I think there is some more high traffic site though if you really care that much.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:26 PM ^
Probably. To be fair I googled "Arizona Wildcats Football Blog" and copied the first link that appeared. That google search was also by far the most time I spent reading or typing about Arizona football outside of MGoBlog.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:40 PM ^
Desert Swarm was the only one I knew (since they in the same hub as EDSBS).
Supposedly the activity is at: http://forum.goazcats.com/. We have people there already.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
One of their game threads had 9 posts. Apparently no one gives a crap about AZ athletics.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
January 24th, 2012 at 3:21 PM ^
Wait, you're saying that a Michigan football blog isn't the best place to get updates on Arizona football?
January 24th, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
Cosigned.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
I don't get people's obsession with him. I'm a fan of the school, not the man; when a coach ceases to be our coach, he's just another guy I don't want to read about.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
I won't post a thread on him, but I click on most. I graduated in 2009 and was very emotionally invested in Michigan's success, and therefore RichRod's success. I wanted him to succeed, but he didn't.
I dunno, I'd say it's kinda like an ex girlfriend. You're definitely broken up and not getting back together, but it's still a part of your history and you were emotionally invested. Whether or not you want updates on your ex... depends on how you feel about your ex.
January 24th, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
You don't post trivial updates about your ex on your current girlfriend's wall, do you?
January 24th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
January 24th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
Maybe we should all just talk about how our ex-ex-girlfriend didn't give enough advice to our ex-girlfriend to really give us a chance at a successful relationship.
Yeah, you're right. This sucks.
January 24th, 2012 at 5:07 PM ^
than updates on RR.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:25 PM ^
Boom! MGoDC'd!!
January 24th, 2012 at 3:27 PM ^
Why do people hate the RR stuff so much? He is, and forever will be, a part of Michigan's grand history. Maybe not the best part, but a part of it none the less. People post shit about other past coaches and what they are currently doing all the time; no one seems to care. Just because RR did a crappy job at UM and was fired, we can't talk about his current going on's?
January 24th, 2012 at 3:30 PM ^
There is a huge difference between Lloyd Carr appearing at a charity event that people can attend and RR picking up a recruit that Michigan doesn't care about.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:42 PM ^
Well I actually agree with the point that him picking up a prospect we had no interest in isn't thread worthy (although in this case our rival MSU was actually persuing Griffey Jr, so it does become relevant). I was just using this topic as a time to address the bigger point. We don't only talk about Carr or other coaches when they attend charity events for UM. They're mentioned all the time everywhere and no one cares; it's encouraged actually. But RR can't do charity events for UM because he's not retired. But it inevitably seems that more than a few people will go out of their way to say how much they don't care whenever any update on RR is mentioned. Like even when it's a big thing like him getting Casteel. I just think if we're going to talk about past UM coaches, we should be able to talk about all of them.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:32 PM ^
Hearing charity work about Lloyd Carr or someone else is one thing.
Hearing about random 3 star commitments to Rich Rod is another thing entirely (the Griffey commit is not the first board post about 3 star commits to Rich Rod). Should we have 25 board posts a year about each individual commit RRod gets? Nothing against the guy, but holy shit, I just dont care.
If people are gonna post irrelevent threads about every generic 3star RRod signs I'm going to start posting irrelevent threads about the differences between the shape of my breakfasts when I eat them and when they end up in the toilet after my afternoon coffee.
January 24th, 2012 at 4:29 PM ^
The moderators were "hired" to moderate the Board. If a thread about something irrelevant exists for longer then you think should, lean back and take a deep breath. We all have day jobs.
That said, if you contribute to the deliquency you will be punished just as those are/will be that you complain about. #Forewarned.
January 24th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
about posts discussing MSU as we seem to get at least one of those a day.
Comparitively, we may see 2-3 RR posts per week. That's hardly some egregious overkill, as your rant would lead the lay person to believe. Don't want to read about RR? Don't click on the fucking link.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:48 PM ^
Just to echo, important RR updates are fine. I don't think anybody complained when it was posted that he got a job at Arizona. However, we aren't going to get an update on every QB recruit that goes to Auburn now that Loeffler is their OC, nor any updates on EMU recruiting (though they have a former coach and a former player on staff). This is hardly the first Arizona recruiting post, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Michigan outside of RR.
January 24th, 2012 at 4:14 PM ^
No we cant. He coaches at AZ not Michigan. If you want to read stuff about him and what is going on with his team, then please visit the site the OP mentioned. Im interested in Brady Hoke and his recruits, because umm well he coaches Michigan, and this is a Michigan blog. RR is not coaching here, he had his 3 years, he failed, time to move on. I hope he wins at AZ, but I could give a fuck less about who commits there and how his recruiting class is. I especially dont want to see it posted on a MICHIGAN blog.
<br>End rant.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:30 PM ^
I think you missed the point... the fact that a famous athlete's son did not sign up to play basketball for Beilein is an important, and related, topic.
Hardaway Jr.
Horford Jr.
Big Dog Jr
Dumars Jr.
How did we miss out on Griffey Jr. Jr.?
January 24th, 2012 at 3:30 PM ^
complaining about Rich Rodriguez threads. I really appreciate the added clutter bitching about clutter.

Fellow math nerds, unite!
January 24th, 2012 at 3:31 PM ^
I don't mind getting updates about assistant coaches he's hired or the process of him getting settled at Arizona, but board topics about random recruits he's pursuing are unnecessary. It dosn't need to be all-or-nothing.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
I'm failry new, but I dont get it, can't you just not click on it if you don't like it. RichRod was a coach who came into M and brought the worst 3 year period in M history, but in many ways we were "all in" for his system and his players so why would we not care about what he's doing? I think it is very interesting to see what players (especially Griff's son) he pulls and how they may fit in his system since we just lived it. If he has success at zona, why didnt it work here? I don't see any reason this is not completely relevant to the board.
I think it is more indicative of being overly red assed and paranoid to not be able to look at the words RichRod on this board instead of just accepting that we've moved on and read about our EX-COACH one year removed.
If we start to obsess over his schemes or his stretching schedules, etc in Arizona, I get that, but he just got a high profile recruit so unbunch your panties fergodsakes.
January 24th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
Since you are new, you may not have realized yet that it's not very easy to get to page 2. Yes, it can be done, but I for one, and I'm sure many others, stick to the front page, for the most part. The reason it bothers me is a thread telling us about a 3 star recruit going to Arizona pushes another thread that I might be interested in off the front page.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:54 PM ^
January 24th, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
years is a bit much (although W-L statistically true) because without RR there would be no Denard and that makes me sad.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:37 PM ^
then don't read them.
January 24th, 2012 at 4:20 PM ^
Don't know why this is such a hard concept to understand. If the board had only Michigan related topics it would be one thing, but when there are threads on the colts, the bachelor, and Terrell Suggs, the bitching is hypocritical and pointless.
