Which Rodriguez Has the Better Chest Bumps?
RichRod bumpin’ uglies (Mandi Wright DFP)With UM’s first practice came this beauty of RichRod dishing out a chest bump to Brandon Minor following a drill. With my mind short circuited by a week long headache, this photo triggered a barrage of questions that I thought I’d share and obtain your thoughts.
Following the buttoned down Lloyd Carr Era, I’m sure the UM players are beyond excited to see their head coach chest bumping his players if nothing else but to demonstrate a change of style and attitude.
That said, do you think showing his players a different brand of leadership will have any impact on how they play? Meaning, will they have more desire to play for RichRod than they did for Carr?
Second, I tried to envision The Vest laying a chest bump on Beanie after a 60 yard jaunt to paydirt. Not only could I not picture it, I was glad I couldn’t.
RitaRod: safari bound?Whether it’s because of the success Tressel has obtained with his Senatorial approach or maybe just that I’m partial to a conservative figurehead running the show, I’m more than satisfied with Tressel’s low key style save the periodic fist pump.
What do you think? Would you prefer a more animated Vest or no? Do you think his relative lack of emotion has a positive or negative effect on the team?
Lastly, and most importantly, the pic of RichRod got me thinking of Rita which begs the question – Between Rich and Rita, who has the better chest bumps?
It’s pretty hard to tell underneath all that leopard/tigress print and 70’s hair, but I think I give a slight edge to Rich. (Easy UM fans – it’s all in good Friday fun!)
Interesting question. Although I am sure we can all agree that the vest is the best damn coach in the land, no one is perfect. That said, I think the ONLY area he could improve upon is in-game emotion, not to the media, but a couple plays a game on the field could never hurt…
Rita definitely gives the best chest bumps. Look at her, she can chest bump you all night if you can keep up with her. You know that hair-do has seen the ceiling, carpet and/or back of a tour bus a time or five.
I heard she was a Def Leppard groupie back in the day and the one-armed drummer only knew her as Simba.
RichRod needs to be more careful. I pity the player who administers the Heimlich Maneuver to dislodge that whistle.
are they built for speed or comfort?
I have never actually seen a picture of RichRods wife before because I never really cared to know who he was married to…but for real? I mean there is one thing to have a wife who might not be gorgeous but you can tell is classy and good wife material, but she screams West Virginia trash, I always figured RichRod would have a trophy wife because that fits his arrogant jock personality but I guess she was probably hot in the 70’s?

I bet she makes sure the trailer has only a fine, redwood deck, though.
What a cultural sea-change for m*ch*g*n. From strait-laced arrogance to banjo-pickin’ ostentatiousness, all in one offseason.
These boys will come into Columbus in November with a major-league chip on their shoulders, so we’d better be ready. I bet the finale this year will be nip-and-tuck. History seems to speak in favor of an upset, so strap ‘em on tightly, fellas.
The Def Leppard comment is true. The song “Pour Some Sugar on Me” was written about Rita, although it was originally titled “Pour Some Crisco on Me”.
Rita looks like a $5 hooker… or a motley cru groupie. same thing?
“those who stay” will be humiliated.
go blow.
Looks like a middle of the road Scottsdale cougar!
So take your bets on Tanya Harding Rodriguez showing up 8/30/09 with un-coked-up hair and a nice, M*chigan-women-would-never-wear-an-orgy-of-lycra-animal-print UM polo. Gotta keep up the caviar-up-my-ass arrogance.
Ditto, Joe Fox. “We only have to get over USC” is a horrible mentality. Last game in the 11th month will always mean everything.
Uh, rumor has it Mark Sanchez went down with a knee injury during agility drills. So says scout.com boards for osu and usc.
Face it fellas. You’d love to “do” Rita, or any other cheerleader (save U-M’s) if she would have you. Dolly Parton is trailer trash, yet, she has a certain attractiveness that emanates from her. If plastic wasn’t attractive then boob jobs would never be in vogue. You want it; Coach Rod has it when he wants it. I say, let’s see Ma Tressel shake, shake that thing (apologies to Sean Paul) ;>)
BTW imagine if you will what it’s like when Rita Rod engages in small talk with our president Mary Sue Coleman. Very small talk, I bet ;>) Wish us luck, I’ll pretend that it’s good luck and you can go wank it to Brutus.
Now that I look at Rita again I realize where I’ve seen her.
Remeber the woman that was always tanning in the movie “There’s Something About You know, the one with the shriveled up raisin tits? Rita’s a dead ringer for her. They could be twins.

Ya’ll really should go easier on your own mothers. They gave birth to you, after all.
I heard when the Rods moved into Ann Arbor, all of the lycra and leopard print suddenly disappeared from local retailers.
No, I prefer a more “fatherly” approach to coaching these college kids. To lower one’s self to the player’s level, as Rich Rod has done, is to lower the respect that the kids have for their coach.
I think remaining professional and above the kids is the best way to earn their respect.
Not doing a “chest bump,” to try to prove you’re kewl, as RR has done.
And Rita Rod is doing all she can to pizz off PETA and all of the tree-hugging Liberals in A-squared. She better be careful. She looks like a prostitute with that shirt.
