RICH ROD NOT MADE FROM STONE HE MADE FROM MAN
Rich Rodriguez have press conference, make emotional statement, water get fall from eye.
Michigan football Rich Rodriguez appeared tear up as he talked about his program during his weekly news conference in Ann Arbor.
He sad. Say they follow rules. Not make player tow bus or work too hard. Go against everything RichRod teach and say. Rich Rod then discuss Western Michigan. Why you make Rich Rod sad, Freep? He appeared tear up! You feel shame Freepy. Man not made of stone. He made from man!
(Also, we have no video of the press conference yet, so the footage from Michigan’s practices will have to do.)

I’m buy an entirely new set of micron-sensitive calipers to construct my reaction to Michigan’s upcoming win over Notre Dame.
I’m going to need all the help I can get.

I feel bad for Western Michigan. Some aggression will be taken out. And by some, I mean a buttload.

Fred –
Do yourself a favor. Take WMU and the points, you won’t be disappointed. UM is breaking in a new QB and WMU is coming back with an experienced team off a good season. UM lost to Toledo last year and is not that much better this year. Spread is 11 or 12, parlors may vary, but they may be fortunate to come out with a win.

That was the cause of the panic this morning in Auburn. For they stand in awe of the unsolvable riddle that is the Chan.

There’s got to be a BCS-conference program in shambles somewhere that could use the steady hand of Chan Gailey to guide them from the Abyss of Awful to the Mesa of Mediocrity.

((((Hi ladies, I am baaaaaack!))))
The last big-time footbaw coach to cry his eyeballs out in front of the press was…
..Urban Meyer…and things have not been too shabby for him since then, no?
I still think Cryer Rodriguez will beat Cheesburger Charlie this year, though…
(trying to get back into the ND bashing swing of things, fiends and friends….)

I was wondering how long it would take to work ND into this conversation. Aaaaaand to nobody’s surprise, there is SKLM! Although curiously, he eschewed the “Weiss [sic] is fat” comment for the indirect “Cheeseburger Charlie” reference. Still in preseason form, my friend?

Much ado over conditioning. Still looking forward to the season. Go Blue!

Yeah, I am way out of shape and will probably not get into the swing of things until after a few games this season. I mean, how in the world did I miss the slow, hangin’ curve served up by Sweet Lou Holthh about a week ago? Must be that the sweltering Los Angeles weather is frying a good portion of my anti-ND brain cells.

@ SKLM: I have no doubt that you will back, stronger than ever, by October 17 or so.

As a Michigan fan incensed by the crap reporting of the Freep, I will say only this: Brilliant, as always. I do hope our slot receivers and PRs worked on catching/fielding to cut down on fumbles… truck puling only does so much in that area.

That truck-pulling thing was just a warmup. Thankfully there’s no footage of the crocodile wrestling, girder bending, and Weis lifting practices.

Chi Town Buck says:
What?? You other programs dont warm up with a 30 yard truck-pulling drill?? I beleive if I am not mistaken that those featured in the video are the kickers? Or was this just final cuts for who was going to be this years waterboy? Either way a solid program being run up north!!

“I love our staff, I love our players like I love my family.”
Anytime anyone invokes love of family into a questionable situation, I tend to believe that he/she must have done something wrong. Call me a cynic.
I think the last guy who said he loved his family was Pitino. That went well, too.

I’m so pissed at Finebaum today.
Had he not made fun of Mrs. Rodriguez, we could be facing down yet another Mal Moore coaching search.

Western Michigan ranked #87 nationally in total defense last year and lost almost their entire D to graduation. Let’s just say that they will probably struggle with new starters all over the place against a system that is fairly complicated to defend and a team that has a lot better athletes. WMU has a good offense, but they’ll be hard pressed to keep Michigan from rolling up points.

Leave it to UM fans to try to bash ND out of all this. Just goes to show that ND is really UM rival, not OSU.
