An Epic RichRod Glare
I've been waiting for this ever since I saw this tweet last night from Tom Leyden of WXYZ:
TomLeyden The glare Rich Rodriguez directed at Drew Sharp today when Drew asked Brandon if Rich might be fired was one for the ages. #Michigan
Leyden has now delivered the goods, and they're good.
TomLeyden The glare from #Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez to Drew Sharp when Drew asked if Rich might be fired. http://twitpic.com/346dlg
That glare is Lloyd Carr-esque. I wonder if that's what he means by Hard Edge? Nice suit/tie combo as well.

RRod needs to pity the fool....please Lord a couple more wins.
November 5th, 2010 at 5:26 PM ^
You win. Everything.
November 5th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
...Drew NOT SO Sharpe isn't going to get a Happy Kwanza card from Rich Rod.
November 5th, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
Considerable amounts of win have been determined to be emanating from this post.
November 5th, 2010 at 6:42 PM ^
It they switched sides it would be better so Rod is looking at him. +1 either way.
November 5th, 2010 at 5:48 PM ^
If only looks could play defense. We would be steel Saturday.
November 5th, 2010 at 5:58 PM ^
I don't live in Michigan so am not especially familiar with the freep gang, but I happened to see Drew Sharp's column from yesterday. What is his problem with Michigan and Rodriguez? It's like the guy is living in a different reality from everyone else following this. It's almost comical.
November 5th, 2010 at 6:54 PM ^
Not to mention the dickbag went to Michigan. Which just pisses me off even more, he takes pride in throwing his school under the bus. The man is only happy when others are angry.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
It's not so much that Sharp has a problem with Michigan and Rodriguez, it's that he's that way all the time. Picture Rob Parker only with a piece of steel wool in his ass. That's Sharp.
November 5th, 2010 at 6:11 PM ^
to send the repo men over to Sharp's apartment to repossess his diploma.
Big, beefy, scary men with prison tats and crowbars.
November 5th, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
I hate it when I do that. I have to do it, though.
You want the sparty football team to visit him? Now that is some serious hate.
November 5th, 2010 at 6:34 PM ^
When you feel the chilly breeze in the air, you know he's coming for you.
November 5th, 2010 at 6:52 PM ^
How the hell did the thread get this long until the photoshopping?
November 5th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
LSUfreek should do a gif with this. Maybe the dramatic look gopher?
November 5th, 2010 at 7:59 PM ^
the man is a fighter. He is one determined mofo. I say hell yes!
November 5th, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
I hope RR remembers that question and answers it with a few more wins. The best revenge to shut up the Freep.
November 5th, 2010 at 9:02 PM ^
Drew reminds me of this ex-wrestler I saw on tv that loves when he "steals" repossessed planes back for the bank (apparently there were a lot of repossessions during the recession). The wrestler would find the secret hanger where pilots would hide their planes since they knew they hadn't been making their payments and he'd fly it out of there...the wrestler just loved when pilots would call and how angry they would be.
When you make someone angry like that you get a rush that you had power over them. It's something competitive, middle-IQers use a lot b/c they can't win with intelligence. Works out well when media thrives on emotion themselves...gets them more Internet hits when Sharp is controversial so his writing style is validated.
To beat him, we need to push him into wrestling. He could be the "Pretender" with special move: "False bull charge self-pin". He would be no match for our wrestler "Mathlete" with special move: "The Quadratic Equation".

Well played sir...
November 5th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
edit: Inappropriate photoshop....Sorry
November 5th, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
RichRod better get a thicker skin, and fast. He shouldn't give a hoot about detractors like Sharp, he really shouldn't. When he does like this, its as if he knows something we do not. And by being so sensitive, apparently he isn't fully be cognizant of how truly storied our program is, and how truly different the means of acheiving it was, with his modus operandi the spread. To think that there wouldn't be MORE hard line detractors is quite ignorant.
November 5th, 2010 at 11:50 PM ^
Because when a guy apparently asks if the coach should be fired IN FRONT OF THE COACH at a press conference, the coach should remain stoic?
November 9th, 2010 at 4:55 PM ^
Spare us your sanctimonious bullcrap, please. There is a difference between asking tough questions and calling Jim Everett 'Chris Evert' to his face as a stupid grandstanding ploy to increase the audience, a la Jim Rome. That was a question intended to be insulting to Coach Rodriguez, and for my part I thought he showed admirable restraint by not saying anything. My response would have been 'I wonder how many newspapers in the country would even have you in for an interview if you weren't peddling your sewage at the Freep.' But then again, I'm a Spartan fan and uncouth (redundant, I know), so take it for what it's worth.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:46 PM ^
Glare is cool and all, but, it so sucks that this question even gets asked.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
This is the stuff that is proving that RichRod is maturing into a Michgan Man.
I'm waiting for the day RR says, "why would you ask a stupid question like that?"
November 5th, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
According to the title, Drew Sharp asked Brandon that question in front of Rich Rod. What kind of a D-bag would do such a thing? Rich Rod looks about 2 seconds away from laying a dose of some Emperor Palpatine force lightning on his @$$.
November 5th, 2010 at 11:04 PM ^
that's the kind
November 6th, 2010 at 1:21 AM ^
Doesn't seem to have it quite yet. I went though this thread and saw multiple renditions of the RR pic. But when I saw this, my blood went cold.
November 9th, 2010 at 1:37 PM ^
BTW, first post. Love the board. Been lurking for a while.

I think it'd be funny if Brandon just denied press credentials to the FreeP, saying, "You're not going to cover us positively anyway, so you might as well not cover us."
That'd be hilarious.
November 9th, 2010 at 2:27 PM ^
It would be hilarious if someone hadn't already said it.
November 9th, 2010 at 5:08 PM ^
Oh screw it, I'll try later.
