From Milwaukee Journal Sentinal: Michigan "Ripe for Kicking"
Great article by Mike Hunt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Interesting and historic perspective from the Wisconsin side and their own little rivalry they have in their minds with Michigan that sort of keeps the knives of hatred turning and turning.
Try not to be sophomoric about the writer's name. :)

Ooooooohhhhhhhhh I get it now!!!!

The best comment was when the writer referred to the comment by RR about that "we are in a process". I totally agree with the writer. What process are you in? It is like we just expected to suck for a few years since RR was now taking over. Why did Mich lower there standards? To bring in a "system" coach? That's right, its the system that takes some time. You should expect 3-9 or less because the system is now here!

You should feel utter, utter shame that this article, of all things, makes you want to stand up and preach. If you don't like Rodriguez, fine, but don't look to a piece of shit journalism to prove your point. I think Hunt wrote that thing in 15 minutes

That cow should feel udder shame.

The best commentary element within your post was the remedial, 9th grade grammar errors rife throughout.
It's amazing, though, that you signed up today and then began being negative. I would never believe people are creating accounts to troll. NEVER.

Criticism of the winningest college football program from somebody who doesn't know the difference between there and their should be taken pretty seriously. (rolling eyes)

With a Mike Cox on the team, I think we got all of those jokes out of our system.

Mike Hunt stinks!

I am guessing it smells like tuna. Just a guess.
November 12th, 2009 at 7:03 PM ^
I refuse to call any piece of journalism good journalism when the author spells Rodriguez "Rodriquez."
November 12th, 2009 at 7:03 PM ^
That a Wisconsin journalist shows more faith in the eventual resurrection of Michigan football than masses of purported Wolverine fans...
November 12th, 2009 at 7:05 PM ^
Stand by for a kicking!
I hope you can see this. Because I am doing it as hard as I can.

That's a classic PA prank name. Free Beer and Hot Wings flash back. Priceless. I'm guessing people have tried this type of thing at Michigan games before right?

Mike Hunt left out Bucky's 1993 win over Michigan - resulting in the entire UW student section attempting to rush the field, except for the fact that the field had been fenced off with a guardrail, and 73 people were injured, six critically, as upper rows of people crushed down on the lower rows.
Here's hoping that there'll be no cause for such dangerous celebratin' in Madison this year.

The odd thing is that his editor's name is Phillip Snatch.

When you call the newspaper to complain, just ask for I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.
Not to be confused with Michael Rosenberg.

Thing is, the chance to kick the sand-kicker when he's down makes itself available far less than the Rose Bowl itself. When they come around, go at it with both feet.Strange, I never think of M as a bunch of sand-kickers.

...the Wolverines are eventually going to rise up and reclaim what is theirs by birthright. And if you've been tied to their whipping post for all these years like the Badgers, it's best to be off the schedule when it happens. Either that, or get in the licks now while you can.I love the sense of urgency here: Let's beat Michigan now because we all know they'll be good again in a few years and will then resume their annual tradition of beating us.

...saying "Oh yeah, well, we beat Michigan when they had a losing season. We joined the same club as Toledo, Notre Dame and Mike "See You Next Tuesday" and kicked sand in Michigan's face. Nothing says class like being able to post a few extra TDs just to grind that sand in a little more."
Too bad Mike "See You Next Tuesday"'s article is likely going to be bulletin board material.
At least Mike's a realist and knows that you best kick sand in the dragon's face when he's in REM sleep.
