DICKROD: WVU RENEGED ON BUYOUT CONTRACT
Rich Rodriguez thought the first attempt to resign went so badly, well, he’d just try it again:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — More than two weeks after he was sued over a $4 million buyout clause in his contract at West Virginia, Rich Rodriguez turned in a second resignation letter, claiming university president Mike Garrison reneged on a deal to reduce and possibly eliminate that clause.
Jeffrey Wakefield, the school’s attorney in the case, denied Friday that such a promise was made.
And that’s your story, essentially unchanged from day one: he said/we said. Oh, and your obilgatory, never piss off a West Virginian item of the day.

I agree RR should pay. A man can leave jobs if he wants, but should man up to his contract. What would be a funny laugh is if RR donated the money to the school’s School of Liberal Arts under the orders that it can’t go to athletics or the school or State’s general fund. Then he gets a tax writeoff, they’ll have to name the liberal arts bldg after him, and the athletic dept gets squat. That would be some funny shit.

I haven’t seen any posts from Couch Burnin’ Girl. I hope she can give the definitive answer as what should be done from the WfV perspective.

OOC
What clever weapon x does is a little ditty they like to call transgenerational huffing (or would do so if polysyllabic).
I think I understand why RR bolted to A2 now: to escape the thousands of toothless Sybils up there.

WVUweaponx - yeah, I’m in agreement that my dialog sucked nuts, part of it was a joke for a guy that runs another great blog I read that also reads this site. Maybe you could work on the delivery a little better for me next time. I know, I’ll watch WWL and see the latest headlines out WV for more material.
Now please get back to your homework, helping Pa take the wheels off your home, or whatever you West by God kids do these days.

In the realm of performance art, this has to be the equivalent of trying to suck your own dick. This guy is like Flanders trying to curse, sad and not worth the air he breaths.

OOC, way to go. The “psycho ex” angle. I’ve set up a google alert to let me know when you can actually think for yourself rather than parrot what you see or hear. Dont try to be amusing. You just either have that or you don’t and, well, anyway, moving on…work on originality first. Then, we’ll see.

That video was like when Milhouse on the Simpsons told a kid: “I’ll kick your butt!…At nintendo.”

Girlfriend: Sorry. It’s not working out with us anymore. I’m leaving.
Dumped Boyfriend: What? We were having a good time, I’m giving you more of my paycheck now after that whole incident with that guy from Alabama last year. Why you leaving me? We’re engaged!
Girlfiriend: Look, it’s not you. It’s me. The wedding is off. I just need to do something with my life. I’ve met someone. Could you please forward my mail until the post office sets up my change of address?
Boyfriend: (looks at new address card)- Wtf? Michigan? I don’t get it. Whatever. Just give me back my ring. I spent a fortune on that.
Girlfriend: Um, no. I hocked it and bought a sweet pad in Ann Arbor with the guy I met, Yost.
BF: What do you see in him?
GF: Well, he showed interest. You took me for granted, never coming through with the promises you kept making… you know about a better house, new furniture, arts and culture. Plus, he’s loaded and he’s well hung and having surgery to make it bigger by next fall!
BF: What a fag! Besides those promises were just to get you to go anal- just kidding. I’ll get you a better house, baby. I promise. You like it here, don’t go!
GF: I always hated it here. Yost’s friends and family think you guys are a bunch of hicks,and think you should get over me. There’s more fish in the sea. Just let it be, ok? If you don’t even want to be friends still, I’ll hate that, but that’s your decision. Please don’t talk bad about me to our friends, ok?
BF: What about my ring?!?!?
GF: You gave it to me, remember? You said it was mine for eternity, even if I turned down your proposal. That ring is gone, give it a rest.
BF: You’re a whore!!!! Give me back my ring. Where’s my stuff? What’ that you threw in the trash?!?!? Don’t ever come back around here!
