I was about to drop my two lincolns into this conversation, then I saw what Chis was spitting, and there is no need for me to say anything. Except I see a 8-4 season next year for Michigan, that is all....

<--- check the avatar. I got Michigan covered when you're not around, thanks though Also don't forget all that inside info I told you.

And you're correct on the 8-4 prediction, even if we get Pryor, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State are going to be big challenges for us, and this year Michigan State or another Big Ten team might have a change to reverse their fortunes against us for once.

Not to mention Illinois might give you guys a game if they can find someone to pick up the load for Mendenhall..

They already have him. Daniel Duprene. He played sparingly during the season, but ironically his best game of the year was against OSU when he had 8 carries for 101 yards, 80 of which came on one play.. He'll be decent for them next year.

Time to move on WVU's juvenile behavior toward Rodriguez must stopPosted: Friday January 18, 2008 11:57AM; Updated: Friday January 18, 2008 4:37PM
Since Rich Rodriguez took the Michigan job, his house in West Virginia has been vandalized and his relatives have been harassed.AP MAILBAG

On behalf of any sane, reasonable people out there who may be reading this story, I'd like to make a simple request to West Virginia University and its followers.

Let it go, already.

Your coach, Rich Rodriguez, left for Michigan -- a month ago. Obviously it was disappointing, perhaps even painful, coming as abruptly as it did. I'd imagine it's not too different from a guy dumping his girlfriend out of the blue for a hotter, sexier catch.

But c'mon, West Virginia. This is getting absurd. You would think you would have moved on by now, what with that Fiesta Bowl trashing of Oklahoma. You even found yourself a new man, Bill Stewart, who, while seemingly unqualified to run even a Division II program, you apparently really like.
So why all this continued venom toward Rodriguez?

It started the night he flew to Ann Arbor (with hecklers showing up at the airport), and it's only gotten worse since. Almost every day, we're treated to a new story about some supposed atrocity committed either by bitter fans (who have reportedly harassed family members of Rodriguez and his assistants -- including children -- still living in Morgantown) or by Rodriguez himself (who reportedly shredded some documents while cleaning out his office, originally reported to be players' entire personnel files but now believed to be ... umm, notes.)
The school slapped the guy with a $4 million lawsuit and made sure ESPN knew about it before he did. Now officials are rifling through his cell phone records, trying to figure out whether he called a few Michigan recruits on his West Virginia-issued phone before leaving town. (I'm sure he'd be happy to reimburse you if it caused him to go over his minutes that month.) You're doing your best to convince the college football world what a bad, bad man your once-beloved coach really is.

"It's something new every day, and it's totally ridiculous," Rodriguez told the Toledo Blade.

Don't you see what you've become, West Virginia?

You're the psychotic ex-girlfriend.

It's my experience that attempting to reason with such parties is almost always a fruitless endeavor. But for the sake of the involved parties' sanity, I might as well try.

Here are the realities of the situation:

• Rodriguez is the coach at Michigan. He's not coming back.

• Much of your animosity toward Rodriguez took root with the Mountaineers' inexplicable, national title-crushing loss to Pittsburgh on Dec. 1. Once he took the Michigan job, angry revisionists began deluding themselves into believing (or at least pretending to believe) Rodriguez was never that good to begin with -- never mind that he's the single biggest reason the Mountaineers were playing in a game of such magnitude to begin with. In the waning moments of the Fiesta Bowl, one section even began a mocking "Thank You, Michigan" chant.

Are you people nuts? Never in the 106-year history of the West Virginia program have the Mountaineers enjoyed such sustained success (three straight 11-win seasons) and accompanying national prominence as they did under Rodriguez. Rodriguez's revered predecessor, Don Nehlen, enjoyed just two such seasons (1988 and '93) over a 21-year run.

• As hard as this may seem to believe, Rodriguez is not the first successful coach to profess his undying love and loyalty to a school ("I plan on being here a long time," he said upon rejecting an offer from Alabama in December 2006.) only to leave for a more attractive suitor. It happens multiple times every year. Unlike some other famous defectors (ahem, Nick Saban), Rodriguez never lied about the courtship (ahem, Bobby Petrino). In fact, he never said anything at all.

His lone error in judgment was informing coveted recruit Terrelle Pryor of his decision before he told his own team. It's probably safe to surmise he's not the first coach to do such a thing -- in this case, however, Pryor happened to make it public. Yet somehow Rodriguez has managed to become the most vilified coach ever to leave a school. Even Saban is sitting somewhere right now saying, "Now that guy's got it rough."

• As tough as this may be for you to swallow, Michigan is a better job than West Virginia. Period. Richer tradition, bigger stadium, better resources, more prestigious conference, wider recruiting appeal ... I'll refrain from piling on. It should hardly come as a shock to you that Rodriguez would leave West Virginia for Michigan -- the stunner would have been if he'd turned down the Wolverines.

Let it go already. It didn't stop you from getting pummeled yet again by an SEC team.

The run wasn't bullshit, they just didn't tackle him. The fumble was though, I guess.

Really? So it doesn't count even though we beat everyone we faced? I think not. That's 1 title, the same as the almighty OSU has since 1970, so honestly, you can stop with that bullshit right there.

[Sportsbuck]

There's a good sized difference in 22 years, BTW.

And you missed my ninja edit.

When neither team has won much since 1970, no there isn't. So save your shit talking. Beat an SEC team before you talk shit on anyone.

Ok, i'll make sure not to talk shit on you, seeing as how you go to OSU and all...I try to like you, I really do. But between your bitching about things that no longer matter and your shots at Michigan, usually unprovoked, I honestly want to punch you in your punk ass, 15 year old head.

God, that's one thing I hate. If I am a damn fan of the team, I can say us or we when referring to them, so STFU on that part.

Half of my posts about Michigan are responding to shit-talking by you. Hell, this argument is thanks to you making an unneccessary comment about Ohio State. The other half, I'll give you, is unprovoked.

And, that's nice buddy. If you are going to get so worked up over something on teh interweb that that's how you feel, that's nice, nice man.

See, its not me getting worked up on the "interweb" so much as it is me being fed up with your arrogance concerning your team and just in general.

This arguement is started by me? You're damn right because you took it upon yourself to yet again bitch about something that happened long ago that cannot be changed.

I start half the arguments? I'm sorry, but I didn't start the "michiganing" bullshit, now did I? You wanna cry to me because you don't like me arguing with you? Fine. But don't try to shift blame when you spend half your time whining about past calls, statements, etc and the other half taking shots at Michigan.

Honestly, if you can't handle the comments then don't provoke it by performing the above acts. That simple.

[Sportsbuck]

Oh, so you saying you want to punch me in my head isn't you getting worked up on the internet?

And who cares if I was bitching about something that cannot be changed? That's what message boards are. People crying and bitching about shit that they cannot change and have no impact on. If you don't like it, then don't get on a message board..

Okay, let me give you a run down on how you usually start shit. I'll say something about tOSU that has NOTHING to do with Michigan whatsoever, and then you will say something degrading to tOSU, to which I respond with a Michigan comment, then we argue and yada yada yada.

If you can't take reading my posts or posts by people like me, get off the damn internet.
