I really love the "nice to have a positive record, for once." Rich Rod seems to be able to take responsibility for last season and seems more than ready to right the ship. I don't really understand the people who hate RichRod based on his personality, I think he comes off as just a really nice guy who has all the best intentions in the world.
Personally, I'm just tickled to death by him
I like the fact that he tells it exactly as he sees it. Keep freakin politics out of it. Say what you mean and let people deal with it. If people can't respect that, then let them become fans of sweatervest.
Go Blue!
I actually thought he came off a little more polished than he appeared last year. Or is it just me?
I'm just going to assume that he is extremely excited about his team this year, whereas last year he was braced for DEATH.

I completely agree with this. I think last year he knew we weren't going to do to well and he kept reserved during his public appearances for that very reason.
The spring game this year I hear was night and day - it was said earlier: last year seemed to be about all the mistakes made, whereas this year there were positives to be taken away, as well as obvious deficiencies that need work.

Well he doesn't talk smack when he knows he can't back it up... honestly i can't wait till the day when our offense is clicking on all cylinders and he hangs 60 on sparty and that @hole Doucheantonio.

we have the hungriest program in the nation.

Yeah, he sounded a lot different to me..like somebody who is tired of all the b.s. (he had deal with last year) and just wants to start kicking everyone's ass. He's being more public about his controller self and that works just fine for me, especially when it comes to the impressionable young gangsta type - his players of course, not the media. Though Drew Sharp might have some gangsta in him. The more I think about it, I'd like to see RR coach up Drew Sharp. "Yo Rich, take that!" and a spoon of pudding goes flying past RR's head. "Aw shucks, that's just Drew.. it's in the past. I'll forget about it if you don't write something negative about my son Rhett, UM QB, Class of 2017."
