RR's first WVU team went 3-8. The next year they went 9-4. ND, the team you talk up, was 3-9 last season and "J Claw" was an internet laughingstock. Things can turn around.
And as for "MSU rolling us," well, let's just wait until next week.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. caserm10 is right. Quit whinning and stick behind the coach. This team is going to be very good eventually but not this season. Rodriguez is a great coach and recruiter and handles himself well. Sorry everyone but it is time to grow up and see that sometimes you may have to be patient.

Dude, every post you write is about ND. Most of the time the original post you're responding to has nothing to do with ND. You've suggested Skip Holtz should replace RR, pimped J Claw multiple times, rationalized players leaving ND etc. Is there something you'd like to tell everyone?
But hey fellas, don't take my word for it. Click the nick and check his post history!

It is just a weird omen to see so many people hating. There's a lot of hatred surrounding this one. I mean look at the two coaches in the state of Indiana(Tiller+Holtz), if you let them characterize Rodriguez you'd get a Wizard dressed in typical German garb. Rosenberg has made it his life's vendetta to make sure Rich feels every nail. And Mayo(GR PRESS) has now jumped ship as well as Drew Sharp. I said at the beginning of this year that when I saw this staff and how they were responding that it could get ugly. I also said that if this scenario played out Michigan's media would jump ship and jump his shit. I was basically told two thing by this board:
1. For starters your an idiot.
2. It'll never happen.
To me it comes down to winning the national championship. I think RR is a heavy hitter. He can win the big ones where as Carr is your sure steady investment. RR is high risk high reward. Or as in investment, when he's kicking butt there's no stopping him but if he's down they are one of the worst investments. So I think the division, the real division for Michigan's fans starts there. They know RR can bring the NC and will overlook this dismal year. Because WHEN the turnaround happens they will be the ones yelling,"see it was that this team sucked." Or there will be many reasons to justify it. The other side is basically saying what writers like Rosenberg, Mayo, and now Drew Sharp are saying. That is basically,"Hey Rich, they weren't that good but now listen, they weren't that bad either." People are attacking his ego and pinging on it left and right. That is troublesome.

... because I got this far
...the D, which was supposed to be the bright light, is ranked 54th. That's right, Arkansas State has a better D than the Wolverines.
and figured I didn't want to waste any more time reading it.

case, the hardest part about this season isn't the actual losses. as you pointed out, if you actually followed the team and saw who our starters were (and the ridiculous holes left in the squad) you would know that we wouldn't have a great year; even if LC were still coach.
the hardest part about this season is seeing so many of our fans showing their true colors. this is disgusting. i can't believe how many fair-weather and bandwagon fans we have. if you truly took the time to understand the situation RR is facing and where the program is you wouldn't be so quick to judge every facet of michigan football. as much as we'd like to think we have the best fans in college football, there's no way that's true. and it's sad to admit that.

- Some writers just feel the need to sell more papers and controversy is good for business. When I said Drew jumped ship I was implying publicly. And to clarify even that, I mean he is showing how far his scales are tipped and where he's leaning as far as Rich goes. Not everyone who reads the sports section knows the in's and out's of college football. So these guys bias is huge as far as how many minds they can reach with it.
- The demonization of RR has to stop though. It's become really heartless and soulless. HOWEVER COMMA I do think there is something bad, beyond the x's and o's and wins and losses that is definitely resonating from within the fanbase on this one. Sometimes it can get so bad within an organization that people begin to NOT care to wait for that,"Magic Moment," when all the chess pieces are in place and all is puuurfect magical. But, I still think if you want a National Champion in Ann Arbor, you're going to have to deal with this and just bitch. Because if the chess pieces are someday perfect, Rich is your guy.
- The Michigan Media is starting to scare me some and at the same time I am amazed by their bravado. They are really feisty. But I think Rich kind of underestimated the potential blowback of a season and fanbase gone awol. I mean the fans boo, the writers boo, you're losing to Toledo and so on. All in all that dude will need to do some soul searching this off season because if you think this year is tough, wait until next year. If Michigan falls apart mentally next year this media version, and the alumni and fans will be even uglier. Michigan is a tough place to coach.
