David Brandon YRSOB (brand deflater / email enthusiast / cowardly quitter)

"I don't know how many people know this, but when Dave Brandon was interviewing to replace Rich Rodriguez, one of the guys he interviewed was (current Texas A&M coach) Kevin Sumlin. He (Brandon) turned down Sumlin and ended up taking Brady Hoke, the Michigan guy."

Rally, petition target Michigan AD

tumblr_lgpfc1DfU01qeweuno1_500.jpg


Students and alumni upset with the Michigan athletic department's mishandling of a football player's head injury are planning an on-campus rally Tuesday night to call for athletic director Dave Brandon's resignation.

The rally, coordinated by users who visit mgoblog.com and its message boards, is scheduled to begin on campus at 6 p.m. In addition, more than 6,400 students, staff members and alumni had signed an online petition -- created by a graduate student -- calling for Brandon's resignation as of 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The upheaval among Michigan faithful comes in the wake of what Brandon called a "serious lack of communication" that allowed quarterback Shane Morris to return to the field with a "probable mild concussion" during Saturday's 30-14 loss to Minnesota.

The only way I'll consider this rally of theirs a success is if someone happens to bring one of these.

In fact if you are going to ever have a rally condoning opposing negligent behavior you need a Cardboard Joe!

Man, has it rained [Mark May] on that program since The Game 2006, or what? Lets see, after that game, the following has happened (off the top of my head)--
  • Got their doors blown off by USC in the Rose Bowl
  • The Horror (otherwise known as Appy State)
  • Doors blown off by Oregon in the big house (three game losing streak)
  • Entire tOSU defensive line meets in scUM backfield (The Game 2007)
  • Hire a horrific fit in dickrod
  • Shred-gate
  • Buyout-gate
  • Family values
  • Justin Boren transfers to tOSU
  • Lose at home to Utah to kick off dickrod era
  • Bootycar Cissoko, criminal mastermind
  • Justin Feagin, pyromaniac
  • Holy Toledo
  • Pretty much the rest of the 2008 season, capped off by a massacre in The Game 2008
  • Practice-gate
  • 2009 season implosion after good start gives them false hope, more tOSU fans than scUM fans in the big house for The Game
  • O LET DO IT
  • QBForce shenanigans
  • 2010 season implosion after good start once again gives them false hope, capped off by a massacre in The Game 2010
  • "You raise me up"
  • Savage gorilla-fisting courtesy of Mississippi State
  • Clown show of a coaching search ends in the hiring of <.500 career coach
  • 2011 seasons fills them with more false hope
  • Bammer horseplays them to start off 2012 season
  • 8-5 season capped off with loss in The Game (in which they didn't cross the 50 yardline the entire second half), and bowl game that sees their tiny RB beheaded in a highlight that will never cease being played
  • Back-to-back narrow escapes vs two of the worst teams in the FBS
  • A running game that runs in reverse (literally)
  • Taylor Lewan, bleeding on a field near you
  • One of the worst offensive lines in college history (despite being stocked with blue chip recruits)
  • Losing The Game 2013 in gut-wrenching fashion
  • Gibbons leaves team for "personal reasons" which turns out to be a case of the "bad touchies"
  • Bowl blowout to a mediocre Kansas State team
  • Offseason full of "hotseat" debate
  • Embarrassing loss to ND that showcases more offensive ineptitude
  • Blown out at home (again) by Utah, with more offensive ineptitude
  • Blown out at home by long-time scUM whipping-varmint Minnesota
  • Concussion-gate and subsequent handling of the controversy
If I missed anything, I apologize, but that's just quickly off the top of my head.


I hope Hallmark can fit all of that into a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUCKEYE FAN" card.
