Rich Rodriguez comment upsets Michigan Man

I have supported Rich Rodriguez from day one...I still support Rodriguez, however, I am a little disappointed about his recent comments...it is clear frustration has set in...reported by the Associated Press, Rodriguez said:
"It's amazing some of the things that people would say [on a message board] or yell at you of a personal nature," Rodriguez said Monday. "You almost want to tell them, 'Get a life.'

"There's a whole lot bigger problems. Look at the economy."...


Look at the economy???...WHAT!?!?!?!?!...this is my message to Rodriguez...

First off, it is wrong to berate you in front of your family...your family has nothing to do with how Michigan is playing...these jerks who call themselves Michigan fans are wrong...

Yes Rich, we all know there are bigger problems in the world...but cheering for your favorite sports team is one way to forget about these everyday problems...watching Michigan football this season has not been fun...and let me tell you, being a Michigan fan who lives in Ohio has been hell the past 7 years...

I know you are putting in a new system and understand that it will take time...I was not expecting a 9-3 year...but 3-8????...losing to stinking Toledo?!?!?!?!...let's be honest, the team did not get better as the season progressed...after last week's debacle against Northwestern it looks like the same team who played against Utah in Week 1...

Plain and simple - this season has been garbage!!!...

I will be in Ohio Stadium on Saturday wearing my Maize and Blue and getting abused by every Ohio State fan...in fact, you will be safer than me because I will have to put up with every drunken Buckeye goon as I walk to and from my car...and if you cannot pull the upset, I will have to go another 365 days in hearing about how great Ohio State is compared to Michigan...

I am a Michigan Man through and through therefore I will be cheering you on until the bitter end on Saturday...I have had friends tell me that I shouldn't go to the game let alone wear my Michigan jacket and hat...I am proud to be a Michigan fan and willing to put up with the crap from our arch-rival...so I feel I deserve a better response than "Look at the economy"....

That type of comment may fly in Morgantown, but you are now in Ann Arbor...

    Read the whole comment that RichRod said...not just the last 1/3 of the quote. AP writer conveniently forgot the first 2/3...the most important part of the quote.

    Plus the fact that RichRod cost the state--what was it $1.5 or $2.5 million?--to buyout his contract.

    I know the University said the money came from the athletic program, but wow. For a top notch public state-tax-funded research school, you'd think they could figure out a way to use their budget better than bailing out RichRod in his money quest to land UM's coaching job. I hope his 3-8 record is worth it so far.

    I would rather get updates on research discoveries and grants that both UM and OSU are in charge of. That's what a state funded university is supposed to provide--a betterment of our lives and the students lives through learning. Instead, I have to hear about much dough their athletic departments toss around. I mean, I guess the economy isn't hurting right now or anything...

  4. Hey Rita,

    Are you posting as the 1st Anonymous here also? You married him, you should be used to it by now.

    Guess "Look at the economy" really means, "dang, I still can't unload the house I have in Morgantown."
