Just How Bad is the Michigan Economy?

Evidently bad enough that Brian Cook of MGoBlog has started writing for Bucknuts of all places. Cut That Hippie Up North some slack, though. The cost of herb isn't getting cheaper and Phish is touring again. Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...

Funny thing is, the cost of herb is about the only thing that hasn't gone up in price over the last 15 years.

Yes, Rodriguez was rated a better coach than Senator Tressel. Guess that's what happens when you perpetually under schedule and then underperform with a team full of "NFL talent"... Newsflash bucks, Rodriguez didn't have players to match his system. Not the end of Michigan, just a transition. Enjoy!

This is one of the most absurd pieces of shit I have ever read... what the f did Ferentz ever win?? How many Big-10 titles has he won.... he went to One BCS game I believe (Orange)........... and DickRod--- is this dude smoking bad crack??? You come into a program that just beat Florida in a Bowl Game and turn that into 3-9, you alienate so many people that a good portion of your roster walks out on the team, and you are the second best coach in the conference??????????????????????????? Tressel took a mediocre squad to a winning season in year 1 and won a NC in year 2. 5 Big Ten titles since 2001 and 3 NC games and he is #3??????? What the hell does he have to do, blow Jim Delaney on National TV???? Saying JoePa is better that JT, maybe because of his history, but DickRod?????? I am speechless. Whoever the hell wrote this thing should be fired on the spot for being an idiot.

Newsflash for you B--- EAT ME!!!!!!!! Dickrod won in the Big Least against Bullshit
competition in a bullshit conference. A great coach works a scheme around the
players he has... wah wah ... I dont have the players I need.... dont count
this season. Quit crying and play.... that shit has never worked in the Big-10--
Purdue tried (and failed) to run that spread and how many Big-10 titles have
they won??

Another Newsflash B-- DickRod wont see year 4 at Michigan.... after another
losing season this year he will be on a short leash next year and get the axe
after losing to OSU for 3 strait years... Les Miles will come in and clean it up.
Crawl back in your hole and blog on a SCUM site.... bye

Ok so I did my own research. Rob is fine just a twist. Sounds like the d-line is killing the o-line so far in practice. Pryor looked like shit throwing the ball but it was cold and windy. He is off limits for contact so you have assume that kills his game quite a bit. Adams was starting a tackle.

Rodriguez-"...at West Virginia, where he went 60-26 with four Big East titles."

Tressel-"He has won five Big Ten crowns and the 2002 BCS championship, and he played for two other BCS titles. And he hasn't even been on the job for 10 seasons, posting an 83-19 record."

60-26 in the BigEast > 83-19 in the Big10. OBVIOUSLY.

Whoa big guy, guess this really touched a nerve... Is it so far fetched for you buckeye homers to believe that "thee" Ohio State isn't the center of the universe outside of Ohio? Your overinflated sense of self importance (including that of your coach) ends at the state line.

Judging by this article, the rest of the nation must see the situation more clearly - weak schedule, NC by awful officiating, and underperformance by highly rated recruits. Rodriguez has done more with less talent and will have Michigan back very soon. Again, enjoy!

Tom Dienhart used to work for arguably the worst sports outlet, The Sporting News. I called him out more than once for inaccuracies, glaring I might add, and I would get some snotty defensive response. I write to sports writers from all over the country and no one has ever gotten so pissy when proved wrong as he did. He is a hack and this article proves it. Maybe him and Pat Forde were roommates.

I'm sorry to disagree with you all but God himself couldn't win with that quarterback situation at Michigan. Nick Sheridan was the worst quarterback in division 1 history. The kid wasn't even first team in high school. He wasn't even second team. He was an honorable mention quarterback in high school and you expect him to win. That season was a throw away season. How many times do people have to beat the homeritis out of your scull to make you all understand he didn;t have his players in his system. He's a coach trying to make a dollar and not lose his job. I know I know he will be gone in a year. I highly doubt that. Fuck the seniors that were there and fuck whoever doesn't fit cause he's going to win his way like he did with so many other schools before him.

PS.....great coaches, such as the senator, find ways to use the talent they have, not bitch, whine, and complain that they dont have the right players to fit their system. DickRod is a joke of a coach, he will be gone before he gets the 'right' players. And it will STILL take another 3 years for a real coach to get your program back to a competing team....your sir, are the definition of a douchebag

Hmm... I don't recall Joe Germaine earning all-state honors in Arizona.

The fact is, yes, you try to win in your system, but the goal is to also win games period. If the guys don't match your system, then you have to alter your system until you do get guys that can run it.

Otherwise, you go 3-9.

I run the O on 8 Apr 2009 - 6:07pm #

NO NO NO NO. You all are so fucking idiotic its ridiculous. is 5-7 that much better than 3-9. Fuck a bowl game, fuck 5-7. Implement your system for the future. I've heard this so many times from you homers that its getting out of hand. You alter your system this and you swing on tressels dick that. Alter your system for what? For one pathetic year to finish a tad bit better or run your system that has given you so many wins before. Teach the guys that will be there in the future the new system so they are better acclimated for it when you have the talent around you to actually go out there and win. The only disappointment I saw from last year was the defense, not the offense. We all knew the offense was going to blow donkey dick but the D didn't hold its own. If I recall rich rod went 3-9 at his first year at WVU and we all saw what happened there. Jason what did Joe Germaine do at OSU.....nothing so your argument is invalid.

What so funny about Michigan is going into last year the fans thought they would win atleast 7 games easy. You lost to the Toledo rockets...I repeat the TOLEDO ROCKETS!! You can't polish a turd. Ya they are getting some talent in there now but I don't think they will get back to top three in the big ten with the current coaching staff. 42-7.

Well, he won more than 3 games for starters. That and he has just about every single season passing record at Ohio State.

We get it, you're a Michigan fan. I can understand the temptation to call us all homers and "f-cking idiotic". That doesn't mean you're correct (or don't have anger management issues).

The object is and always will be to win games. Period. Yes, build towards your system and the future, but are you trying to say that Rodriguez is okay with going 3-9 last year because he knows everything will be better soon enough?

you do realize they are 18-22 year old kids on steroids NOT robots, right? if the dude is incapable of adapting and bringing out the best in the kids he has i doubt he is ever going to have long term success. you don't get to go out mid-season and pick-up a free agent veteran to fill a hole if someone doesn't develop like expected (unless of course, ed martin is looking out for your team). the dude has to build and succeed with what he has while his players are developing from kids into adults. not an easy proposition - especially when you aren't playing in the fucking god awful Big East.

Jesus, where did these trolls come from? Pump the brakes on your aggression people, when will you understand that calling a 3-9 team shitty isn't being a homer, it is being honest. Seriously, if OSU went 3-9, I would expect people to call us shitty. Listen, we went 6-6 and we were shitty. Attn UM trolls: your team went 3-9 last year, you were shitty. You now turn it over to a duo of true freshmen, a shitty prospect at best. Did I mention in the off season you "angry type" on other team's fan blogs? Yup, shitty. I use the term "your" incredibly loosely considering most UM grads I know can properly differentiate "it's" and "its". For one of you trolls specifically, if your only disappointment from last year was your defense, your goals are hilariously pathetic.

Cheers to beating Toledo, clowns.
