Character and Cruelty
I want to start off by saying i hope i get neg bombed like nobody's business. I will be the first to say that i like RR as a person but after this embarrassment of a season he can't hit the road quick enough. Let's be honest, he wasn't a fit at mich from the begining. I know everyone has had his dick half way down their throat all year but let's be serious this spread offense bullshit is an embarassment to the school and Bill Martin should have known better from the begining. I think everyone has seen the quote by now but if you don't get some serious wood when you hear the mission statement we are going to win with "character and cruetly" then you're a fucking retard. Jim has been rumored to come her for months now and i personaly cannot wait until het gets to town so we can re-enstate that stupid little sign in our locker room that says "those who stay will be champions". Like i said before, nothing against RR, he's a good guy, but it's time to get get back to basics and start wreckingt he shit out of Ohio State.

There's the joke about having won first prize in a contest. An all-expenses paid, one-week vacation in Wichita was the first prize. Second prize was an all-expenses paid, two-week vacation.
Then, the other joke was: "Wichita. Nice place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit there."
I think I like Option #2, better.

In a post filled with general ridiculousness, this
I know everyone has had his dick half way down their throat all year
particularly made me wonder what in the wide world of sports are you talking about?
January 1st, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
I believe he's referring to "Deep Throat," a 1970s era pornographic film about a woman whose clitoris was in her throat. What this has to do about Michigan football, I'm not sure.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
I think RR should be out too but this post is just atrocious. I'd neg you if I wasn't on my iPhone, so please, someone neg him for me
January 1st, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
Just for you. That post needs a couple more negs though.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
glad to do my part
January 1st, 2011 at 11:57 PM ^
I'm doing my part.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
Wtf man? Calling mgobloggers retards and shit. Seriously, have some respect and if you're gunna say that stuff, don't be such an asshole about it.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
a "dick down our throats"
AND a
"spread won't work" quote in the same post.
When you wake up tomorrow morning after your drunken stupor wears off, will you remember where you blacked out and left all your MGoPoints?
January 1st, 2011 at 11:13 PM ^

The douche is strong with this one.

Between your post and Yoda there, this has to be one of the classic posts of all time. HOF material for sure. MODS: Please....?

Look, after today's debacle I get the desire that some have to get Harbaugh to Michigan, and to have his aggressive in-your-face style on our side against the likes of Dantonio and Tressel. So, I am not going to criticize that at all. However, this "fit at Michigan" stuff is very dangerous. M football has always been at its best when it is renewing itself, not blindly looking backwards. "Those who stay will be champions" everybody can rally around (and does not need to be reinstated). "Character and cruelty" can be a very delicate balance.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
I thought I flushed.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
but let's be serious this spread offense bullshit is an embarassment to the school
Christ, not this shit again.
OK, so which teams are playing in the 2011 National Championship football game and what base offenses are they running?
Pro set? No.
Multiple I-formation? No.
Wishbone? No.
Run and Shoot? No.
Oh wait! That's right! Could it be? NO!
Look, for the last effing time: PSU, OSU have both run spread offenses in the Big Ten with mobile quarterbacks, led the league in offensive productivity and won conference titles and landed in major BCS bowls. Stop being Gary Danielson. Scheme doesn't matter that damn much.
What does matter is defense - something Michigan has not had for the last 4 years.
As for "character and cruelty", seriously dude, why didn't you laugh your ass off at Chip Kelly's cruelty to Harbaugh's Stanford Cardinal team and the fake injuries Harbaugh and his staff ordered from the sidelines in the second half? I did. They were completely out of breath.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:39 AM ^
I totally agree with you and therefore must sigh. Sigh...
January 2nd, 2011 at 10:30 AM ^
But look what Wisc. did against a great BCS Buster team! They run a proset and, oh crap, I,...I, just saw the score. But, antinonirregardless the spread is a fad. It will die, go away spread. I want to see 3 yards every time we snap the ball.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:19 PM ^
I am up for that character and cruelty again on the field when the time comes. Just not up for anyone inflicting it on here towards other members. Jim is my guy. I grew up watching him play and him being this great of a coach caught me by surprise.
If he is brought to Ann Arbor, I hope he does a job that pleases all the Rich Rodriguez fans. He earns their support, he'll never know greater loyalty.
Go Blue!!
January 1st, 2011 at 11:39 PM ^
this one thread will poison the phrase "character and cruelty" from all common usage, forever. If they want to talk about the good ol' days in Palo Alto along with Jim Plunkett and John Elway and Coach Harbaugh and chortle about "character and cruelty," fine. It's a Indian Cardinal thing. We wouldn't undrstand.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:23 AM ^
I am, and have always been all-in for RR and his staff, even after this latest debacle.
If Jimmy is hired, I will support him and root for him because then he would be the M football HC. I would do this despite some of the things that he has done that disappointed me.
Go Blue!
January 1st, 2011 at 11:23 PM ^
Although I do agree that RR should go and will be gone soon, saying that the spread was an embarassment is extremely false. RR is an offensive genuis and a good coach. I just think that everything that could go wrong did go wrong and the negativity is just too strong to overcome. RR will be very successful somewhere else. It just wasn't meant to be. That's all.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
Two spread teams are in the national championship game you twit. Yea, truly an embrassment to this school.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
Damn, just beat me to it.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
Fire Chip Kelly and Gene Chizik. Those spread offenses are an embarrassment to their schools.
Seriously, RR, Urban Meyer, Brian Kelly and Mack Brown all need to go.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:42 PM ^
one of them already has so...
January 1st, 2011 at 11:51 PM ^
Urban retired though.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:27 PM ^
I've been refreshing this page for 10 minutes, watching the OP's MGoPoints melt away.
Great entertainment.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
That "Voting details" page reads like a novel; the scroll bar keeps getting smaller and smaller.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
"refreshing this page for 10 minutes..." That is truly pathetic. Get a life. GO BLUE
January 1st, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
im sure gene chizik is afraid to show his face in public for running that spread offense. it's humiliating really, scoring all those points
January 1st, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
for Bolivia. We have been sending so many asshats down there that they've created their own minor political party. They only have three seats in the Bolivian parliament thus far... but they are gaining strength.
Oh, yeah, and your post was complete bullshit, so I did that 'neg' thing you mentioned.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
The question that should be asked when talking about how the spread offense could succeed is "physical or finesse" U of Florida (with Tebow), Auburn and Miss St all ran a very physical offense that pounded at the opposing d-line. Northwestern, Clemson, WV (minus Owen Schmitt), and the Michigan teams under RR seemed to rely more on team speed and finesse. These two traits can a team so far.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:41 PM ^
Anyone who's ignorant enogh to believe that RR is the man for job is probably good enough to clean the dookie streaks from my toilet bowl, Everyone needs to stop being so senstive and blind to the trruth and realize that the RR era is over (thank god).
January 1st, 2011 at 11:50 PM ^
and only a neg-bomb will do... Bombs away!
January 1st, 2011 at 11:53 PM ^
Classic Macgruber.
January 2nd, 2011 at 10:47 AM ^
Points well spent.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:30 AM ^
I lol'd at this humorous misspelling:
Everyone needs to stop being so senstive and blind to the trruth and realize that the RR era is over (thank god).
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:20 AM ^
I think you're supposed to read it while trilling the "R" heavily like in Spanish.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:40 AM ^
In honor of Rich Rodriguez' Spanish heritage.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
I've been to Wichita and you are better off hanging out in Lawrence or metro Kansas City. I'm surprised this dude went off the deep end. He use to have some good posts in the past!
January 2nd, 2011 at 10:49 AM ^
at around 500 points.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:02 AM ^
I was right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo and somebody was giving booze to these goddamn things. Won't be long now before they tear us to shreds.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:35 AM ^
I have no idea what you're talking about but this made me laugh really hard. Thanks.
