HTM, I put myself in your position too. But then my doctor recommended adding bran to my diet and cutting down on cheese. The world has been a brighter place since.

Without any happiness on my part, I fear for the rivalry. There is some spin that these kind of change at UM are good, that it will revitalize both tsun and the Big Ten. I hope that is the case. But I worry that UM is in for a long and difficult journey with an uncertain end.

A second-class UM is not a good thing for tOSU or the Big Ten. Hope I'm wrong about where tsun is heading, but there are some troubling signs.

Fuck that, and fuck it hard. I could care less about Michigan football. Schadenfreude, or whatever the German word for "happiness in the misery of others". I love to see Michigan lose. Every loss is a smack in the face of some of the most arrogant, snobbish, elitist fans in all of sports. I would love to see Michigan return to what they were from 1951-1968, when they won exactly one conference title in those 18 seasons.

Fuck Michigan.

What's the expression about RR's former conference, the Big Least? A team that wins that conference is said to be no big deal considering the competition?

Those comparison are already being made as to the Big Ten.

I want Iowa to be a contender. And MSU as well as Northwestern and any other Big Ten school. And, in particular, Michigan must have a strong program for the sake of the Big Ten and tOSU. I will root for any Big Ten school facing a team from another conference. And, no, MIchigan losing to App State is not a good thing for us in anyway. Any other view fails to recognize the long term damage that will be done.

Yes, I suppose it's fun to see "the most arrogant, snobbish, elitist fans in all of sports" suffer. And I admit, having read their various posts throwing a kid and family under the bus in favor of a johnny-come-lately gimmick coach, that I wouldn't mind their words coming back to haunt them.

But one needs recognize the inherent danger in having one's rival fall to the level of medicrity.

Meh. It's a simple fact that the CFB world is cyclical. It's gonna happen sooner or later. Oklahoma was crap for over a decade, and Texas had some lean years in the 90's, but the RRS is still one of the premier rivalries in all of sports. Same can be said for Yankees-Bosox, 'Bama-Auburn and so on. If scUM continues to slide into mediocrity, I won't enjoy whupping their ass any less. Does it feel better when they're 12-0? Yep. But I enjoy watching them lose regardless. Say what you will, but I can still manage a chuckle when I hear the words Appalachian State. :lol:

As proof that not all scUM fans are morons, one poster (an administrator) on another board actually pointed out the absolute hypocricy going on amongst the um faithful who are having a field day at the expense of young Mr. Boren. He explains how the um fans shredded wvu supporters for bashing old dickrod when he decided to bail on his alma matar before their BCS Bowl Game for a bigger paycheck, yet go on to shred a now former player for following his heart and simply leaving the program. Of course this post was ignored and further posts by other posters in support were shot down by the old "you're outsiders who don't know shit" and the good old "those who stay will be champions" mantra. Fuck, I hate m*ch*g*n fans. Hypocricy knows no bounds up there.

The one reason I would be happier if TSUN came into The Game undefeated every year is that they would actually expect to win. Making the ripping out of their hearts even more enjoyable.

College football up north
Rob Oller commentary: Rodriguez needs to be more like Bo

Friday, March 28, 2008 3:19 AM
By Rob Oller


THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Up in Ann Arbor, there is precedent for cleaning house with a bulldozer instead of a broom.
In 1969, a cocksure coach from Miami University moved north to Michigan and immediately became a maize and blue Beelzebub. The players in the winged helmets hated the coach with the devil horns, or at least hated what he did to them.
Bo Schembechler was one ornery SOB. Michigan football had softened under a lack of discipline during the 1960s, and Schembechler was determined to restore not only the spit and polish but the toughness that was a trademark of the winningest program in college history.
As Bo worked the Wolverines into the ground, one player after another left the program. The exodus prompted Schembechler to make a memorable promise -- "Those who stay will be champions."

Rodriguez responds

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez says assertions that he, or his coaches, have compromised Michigan's values are "way off base."
Rodriguez expressed disappointment yesterday about statements that the program's values have eroded since former coach Lloyd Carr retired. Guard Justin Boren, a graduate of Pickerington North, said Wednesday that he was leaving the team because of the decline in "family values" since Rodriguez took over.
