Rich Rodriguez Says* 'I Have Made Made a Huge, Tiny Mistake' as Michigan Loses Opener

It was Utah and they looked great, so it's hard to say too much. But if Michigan loses to Miami Ohio...um, we have a problem. And the way Michigan played today, I might actually bet on Miami Ohio...oh, unless they're going to make 15 penalties so that Michigan can score like Utah did.

Unfortunately, both those QBs at Michigan kind of suck, and I hate Rich Rod and the Big Ten Network for making it seem like Michigan could possibly be better than they were in pre-game comments. The fans looked more depressed than they did during/after App. St. This could seriously be a 7-6 year, and we know it now. These are not Michigan caliber players out there on offense--the offensive line couldn't stop Utah from getting right into the backfield at all--and the fact that Rich Rod is trying to force them into an offense that doesn't fit makes them worse. I never wanted him at Michigan to begin with, but now I definitely say for him to pack his crap and get the hell out of Ann Arbor. It's not because they lost--I can understand a new offense losing to Utah--but because he's in over his head and on his way to ruining our traditions (like decades and decades straight bowl games, for one).

I have never seen any coach, put a system in regarless if he has the players to run it. Usually its to the strengths of its players. Its not to say that as he goes he recruits the types of players he wants but to use players in a system that doesn't utilize their talent is dumb. That and all of the traditions this man scraped...he loses 5 this year and 4 next. Its over.

Hey Michigan Fans a note of advice from one of the few WVU fans who does not hate RRod. ( OK he is a bum, but he is a bum who really does know how to coach.) he did the same thing when he came to WVU following Don Nehlen (only the greatest coach to ever wear the blue and gold. You can find his bust in the college football hall of fame) He trashed the coach he followed, basically ran off everybody who didn't fit his "SYSTEM" and alienated everybody in sight. He lost big the first 2 years, but then a funny thing happened. His sytem kicked in and he started winning. I still don't love him. he finds something that works and beats it to death and he is so so in big games ( Yeah GA, Louisville, Clemson, Boo Louisville, Pitt and S.Fla) So hang in there he can coach and it will get better, but for this year break out the old Bo highlight films and watch those on saturdays because this year is going to be ugly!

If we can make a bowl game I will be happy. No one should be expecting us to make the rose bowl or anything but I'd also love to see us not end up 3-9. I'm more than willing to struggle for a few years so we can get good than permanently sit in the 8-4/9-3 range for the rest of time

Congratulations, Rich Rodriguez. Hope this luck continues for you. I'm sorry for UM fans, but do not worry, as your Athletic Director will not allow it to last the two years it will take Rich to get "his" system working. Then Rich can go to High School coaching and talk about the "what-could-have-been-days". I understand the fans supporting Rich, but please realize this is not a nice person. He tried to leave WVU before the GT bowl game to go to Alabama(didn't work out). Then, when UM was in such a pinch, he deserted WVU before the
OK bowl game which hopefully does not work out.
Sour grapes-most likely. Easily forgotten-less likely. Hang in there UM fans-this won't last long.

I actually came out of the Big House yesterday after a loss for the first time thinking, 'There are some good things I can take out of this". Yeah, we lost, and yeah, Nick Sheridan looked abysmal, with Threet looking much better until the game was on the line, But the defense was lights-out in the second half (I don't think the conservative Utah playcalling included "get Johnson sacked over and over, and also, don't try to score even when Michigan is within two").

The QBs multiplied their level of experience by infinity times the number of snaps they took, as did most of the O-line. I don't think fake Miami stands a chance if UM plays like they did yesterday, at least in the second half once 75% of our offense had taken a single college snap. Everyone desperately wants UM to fail miserably, but Utah is no App. St., nor is this the team that lost to them.

Crow while you can, Michigan has left the slow decline of the Carr years and is now undergoing the growing pains under Rodriguez. Which, for you SEC-types, precede growth.

Ummmm Will...
I'm not sure you were able to see over the tooting of your own horn that WVU played VILLANOVA yesterday, while UM played a team picked to be a contender in it's own conference, and that won it's last bowl game. A senior laden team that has run the same system for the past 3 years.
The UM offense looked like a team with a QB learning a new system and that has never had a start. Wow !! that's exactly the case. The defense was accountable for 7 points. The others can be attributed to field position. The Utah PK kicked 4 FG's... hmm .. that must have meant 4 stops. Weird.
UM isn't done. Get it in while you can. This won't last long.
Your season will last as long as Pat White stays healthy. Pray for that.

"Shoppers' data stolen from DSW shoe stores"

April 20, 2005

"If you shopped at the Dadeland DSW Shoe Warehouse during the past two
years and paid with a credit card, debit card or check, your credit
information is now in the hands of thieves.

It is the latest in a rash of security breaches involving personal
data that can be used to steal an individual's identity.

The shoe retailer didn't offer details of how its computer system was
hacked but said the theft included data from 1.4 million credit and
debit card transactions and 96,000 check transactions at 108 stores,
including those in Miami near Dadeland Mall, Aventura, Davie, Boca
Raton and West Palm Beach.

The affected transactions occurred between mid-November 2004 and

stretched back to early 2003.".....
