Rodriguez’s Economy Message Resonating

Sad, really.

You’ve witnessed the transfers. You’ve seen a recruiting class fall apart with a wave of defections. You held out hope before Toledo did the unthinkable. You suffered through four hours of bad weather and shoddy play last weekend before watching the Northwestern Wildcats walk out of the Big House with a victory — after expecting one coming in.

You have watched your favorite program pile up eight losses on the year — something that’s never happened before in the long and illustrious history that is Michigan football — and you fully expect #9 to come this Saturday.

So what’s a reasonable Wolverine fan to do?

You take up the advice of your head coach and focus on the economy. Specifically, making a little cheddar to spur the recovery by selling your sad loyalty on eBay.

That’s right, things are so bad up North that fans of the program are selling their allegiances to the highest bidder:

I was born and raised in the heart of Michigan. My first word was “Hail.” I could whistle “The Victors” by the age of three. But, all things must come to an end - and for me, the end is near. You can decide my fate.

And what’s the going rate for the loyalty of a Wolverine fan? About eighty bucks.

  3. BuckeyeSki says:

    There was talk that McGuffie was on his way out a few weeks ago, but at the time it was shot down as a rumor.

    Yesterday, it was made public that Zion Babb, Artis Chambers and Sam McGuffie have all told the coaching staff that they will not return next year. Chambers and McGuffie are not official yet, but Brian over at MGB says it’s pretty solid.

  8. Pyt says:

  9. BuckeyeSki says:

  10. flipbuckeye says:

    Quoted For Emphasis. Would’ve helped if I used quotation marks, I guess. Punctuation is overrated.

  11. PALM BEACH BUCKEYES says:

    you got if Flip! A phoney from North Carolina

  12. TLB says:

    About 80 bucks too much.

  13. GO BLUE says:

    and what are you a phony from palm beach. Im from toledo, ohio. calling me a phony. please youve got nothing important to say palm beach

  14. Brutus' Mom says:

    Everything I read about Rich Rod amazes me. How can he take a job “up there” and not have a clue about The Game? Has he been underwater? In a coma? Flipping amazing!!

  15. BuckeyeSki says:

    So were you torn between love of your city and lust of Mike Hart on that fateful day of “Holy Toledo”?

  16. PALM BEACH BUCKEYES says:

    From Palm Beach now Blue…… formerly of Columbus, Ohio

    A phoney and a traitor from Toledo………..the picture is getting clearer!

  17. PALM BEACH BUCKEYES says:

    I have more passion and love for Ohio State than you do for the Wolvereeeeenies… win or lose…. ’nuff said. I am no phoney

  18. GO BLUE says:

    #1 palm beach there is no “e” in phony. Just so you don’t sound anymore ignorant. #2 There are a lot of Michigan fans from Toledo. That’s where the heart of this rivalry lies and where this rivalry began from way back when to the battle between Michigan and Ohio for the city of Toledo. It was only manifested years later on the football field. I was born in Detroit, Michigan and taken in by Wolverine alums experiencing the Fab Five in person sitting fifth row. I was there for the Desmond Howard heisman pose. I saw “the catch” in the end zone in person. I watched Kordel throw the hail marry for Colorado. I watched Biakabutuka show E George how to run during THE GAME. Don’t tell me I don’t know about a rivalry and I’m sure as hell not a traitor. It’s laughable how you think I’m not a true fan cause I don’t slit my wrists after a loss. An OMG will suffice.

  19. GO BLUE says:

    Anyways this has gone on way to long. Keep hating hater

  20. PALM BEACH BUCKEYES says:

    yea me too…. I am tired of dueling with a one handed opponent…. sorry about the typo… I guess that invalidates all my years of eduction…

    have a nice life.. go back to MGOBLOG

  21. PALM BEACH BUCKEYES says:

    and by the way, I understand the history and I know all about the Ohio / Michigan war for the disputed Toledo area. You can spare me the lecture… I saw Troy Smith run circles around your defense for 3 years in a row and win a Heisman also…. so what.

  22. Ohio says:

    So, we lost the battle and had to take Toledo? What a crock.

  23. Anonymous says:

    GO BLUE…are you a man? are you 40? would like us to come after you instead of your beloved wolverines?

    last question: do you feel a special connection with mike gundy?

  24. Steve says:

    Ohio: “So we lost the battle and had to take Toledo? What a crock.”

    What do you mean? It’s paying off!

  25. GO BLUE says:

    yes anonymous i want a fist fight? how about you just tip me over and set me on fire. Wow, palm beach so for four years you’ve been a fan. You watched troy smith win a heisman? That was so many years ago. I now understand your fanatical fandom now. Thanks for clarifying. You questioned my loyalty and knowledge of the rivalry so I laid it out for you.That is all good day PHONEY. Haha eduction.

  26. Dan Isaacs says:

    I too am from Toledo. The 05, specifically. And while I do hate Michigan, It’s only because I love Ohio State.

    (nah, I could hate them anyway)

  27. Anonymous says:

    GO BLUE- are you 15? nothing you have wrote makes any kind of sense?

    oooor, are you a white trash auto plant worker who has been laid off and now has too much time on their hands?

  28. BuckeyeSki says:

    I will go with the latter anon

  29. Roy D. Mercer says:

    GO BLUE - How big a boy are ya??

  30. Matt says:

    Toledo represent, and stop the hating on the 419, it’s easy to be a Buckeye fan down in the 614 and surrounding areas, it shows true grit and fandom to represent the Scarlet and the Gray right on the borders of Michigan, where half the town roots for the blue.

  31. This stunt was played in 2001.

  32. Anonymous says:

    What?! The site’s hippie detector is down again? How’d that guy get in?

  33. C says:

    ESPN mentioned this guy on ESPN just now.

  34. GO BLUE says:

    Ok I’m back. This time I want your input. HAHA I’m getting hated on at mgoblog by my own fans. Artis Chambers decided to leave the team before THE GAME. What would you call him? I said he was a quitter. How would you all react to something like that? Cater to him and say you don’t know the reasons why and don’t call him a quitter cause that’s an attack on his character. Oh and these guys are actually defending Boren. I’m ready to change this name from GO BLUE to GO OSU

  35. flipbuckeye says:

    Please don’t. Go support Toledo or something.

  36. Transplanted South says:

    You’d fit better down here in SEC country. Florida sounds about right.

  37. buckeyedude says:

    Hey “Go Blue”: R U Carty Finkbeiner? The mayor of Toledo, and the only Misheegoon Crapperines fan left in Toledo?

    I’m from Toledo also, and I say you suck. Traitor.

  38. GO BLUE says:

    No I live in North Carolina now buckeyedude. I believe that the falling out of Michigan fans is directly related to the job market falling out in Toledo. Those of us with UofM degrees have been able to relocate to other cities. Meanwhile those cold hearted OSU factory workers are stuck there to wallow in their own misery.

  39. CinciBuc says:

    “For the record this item is for sale in Cortland, Ohio. Please nice try there buckeye fans.”
    Implying that since the sale is from Ohio its a buckeye fan posing?
    wait whats this…..
    “and what are you a phony from palm beach. Im from toledo, ohio. calling me a phony. please youve got nothing important to say palm beach”

    Does this make any sense?

    Did he really just imply that Ohioans are factory workers? Does he not read the news? Detroit is a has been at best…..

  40. buckeyedude says:

    Go Bloo, I was just having a little pre-game fun with you. What’s the OSU/UM game without a little trash talk?

    I would be willing to bet that there are plenty of factory-working Michigan fans also, my yella and bloo friend. ;) The “falling out” of Michigan fans in Toledo has more to do with UM’s record vs. Ohio State this decade, than the job market. It is pretty funny and presumptuous of you to assume all Ohio State fans are “stuck in Toledo to wallow in their owm misery.” That cracks me up!

    Ohio State 35

    Misheegoon 10

    For what it’s worth, it’s been taken down from eBay now. The NCSt. guy must have prevailed.
