When You're Feeling Blue, Turn to Blue

DumbRodNelson Muntz just assploded

So, we're still smarting from that Friday night heartbreak. Wondering how the rebound numbers could be true and why Ronald Moore wasn't bear-hugged as soon as he caught the ball with time ticking away in overtime.

And then the Buckeye wrestling team fell just short1 in its bid to knock off Iowa for the national championship Saturday night, constituting yet another runner-up finish for an athletic department that seems to be collecting way too many of those over the course of the past three years.

So what do you do when life hands you athletic lemons? You turn to your neighbor up north and their hillbilly coach. The image above represents a post to Twitter (or, as the hipsters call it, a Tweet) submitted by Rodriguez after the Wolverines basketball team had just finished knocking off 7th-seeded Clemson in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

"Rich is just watched a great win..."

Spoken just like Bo or Lloyd would have.

Now, I realize that these are 140 characters or less and often sent via mobile devices, but if Pete Carroll can practice proper grammar, then surely a Michigan man must be able to do the same, right?

1 Tom Ryan has the program going in the right direction and if he pulls a Tressel and locks down the talent in the state of Ohio, it's over.

Now, I'm no Twitter expert, but on Facebook, when updating your 'status,' it automatically puts 'is' after your name. I'm thinking that Twitter is the same way, and if so, I see Dick Rod's 'tweet' as an honest mistake.

He's still a douchebag, though.

I don't think honest and mistake belong in the same sentence when talking about RichRod. I like to think he is just a hillbilly and this is how he talks, it is much funnier.

Rich Rod and Michigan are going to be interesting this year on the field and in recruiting. They should be better next year, meaning they should get to a bowl game, but I don't see them turning heads nationally. They could easily drop the first two games to a good Western Michigan team and Notre Dame then follow up those two losses with a loss to MSU and their record being 2-3 in the first five weeks and finishing the season possibly 6-6.

I can't see Rich Rod not entering the '10...The Michigan Alum wont sit back and watch OSU get stronger and Stronger and distance ourselves from the rest of the Big 10, (Losing 7 of the last 8 to OSU including the last 5 - and with the team we are putting out next year and the years to come, I can't see that record getting any better in the near future.) while Rich Rod wins 9 games over a 2 year period.....

I don't know if recruiting is going to get better, no question Rich Rod did a good job last year with recruiting while going 3-9, but I think I could recruit well at Michigan given that the program recruits itself. I don't know about this year though, a lot of Michigan fans are going to say they are off to a great start, but they really aren't. Yes Gardner is a great athlete, but they have WAY too many needs to fill to take 4 WRs this early - unless Rich and Co. think they can convert a bunch of 5'11 175 pound WRs into Linebackers...????

There was no way that this basketball team was ever going to win the title, but another runner-up in another sport (wrestling)? I know how jacked everyone was when we won Fencing last year, but when is this drought ever going to end? Ugh. Do we really need to wait another 30 years?

Very ironic for buckeye fans to criticize someone for their sentence structure, especially someone at Michigan.

There have been over 30 player arrests since Tressel brought his squeaky clean program to Columbus, leaving scandal behind in Youngstown. Which Michigan players served time after the basketball scandal? Is there a Wiki for that?

We all know that your obsessive frustration with Michigan stems from deep seeded jealousy. It's OK. It still hasn't been long since "thee" Ohio State dropped 10 of 13 against Michigan and missed a bowl game (2000). Even after winning 7 of 8, the bucks are 11-13-1 against Michigan in the past 25 years. Those years hurt, we know. It won't be long before y'all are back where you belong in this rivalry. You scholars should know how rivalries work... Enjoy!

Know the facts first before posting about unemployment and the state of Michigan's economy.

forbes magazine: Where's it worst? Ohio, according to our analysis, which racked up four of the 10 cities on our list: Youngstown, Canton, Dayton and Cleveland. The runner-up is Michigan, with two cities--Detroit and Flint--making the ranking.

Instead of making fun of it know your facts and join together on that issue. Leave the bickering to football.

Perfect. Since your history only goes back 50 years, "thee" OSU can clear 3 National Championships, 3 Heisman trophy winners, and 11 Big Ten Championships from the records. Oh, and forget about the Illibuck trophy, gold pants, block O, and the victory bell - all instituted prior to 1959. Selective memory of history is great, huh?

Hey, why not be even more recent? In the past 25 years, "thee" Ohio State is 11-13-2 against Michigan. You're right, this is convenient...

Ok, so then in the past 50 years, even with those forfeits of the years prior to 1959, we've still had more Heisman winners, big ten championships, national titles and more wins over our rivals. Those are straight from the records. Even though UM dominated in the eras of Bruce and Cooper and in the early days (pre-1920), It can be argued that OSU has be equal or dominated most other eras of the rivalry.

OK just recounted, UM has 1 more big ten title than OSU over the past 50 years. All else is accurate.
