Oh the hatred.

I wonder how RR will solve Michigans real problem. Stopping the spread, not running it.

Don't worry about RR and the spread...worry about Daryl Clark being able to not fumble the ball on the goal line.

He recovered that one, but he may not be so lucky when it counts next time.

This article is stupid. That's why I took the shot at the Penn State fan. I don't feel the need to actually adress the article.

I thought that you took the shot at the Penn state fan because they bite. Seriously, how long has it been since PSU has beaten UM? And PSU fans still want to talk smack? Really?

That wasn't smack. It's a legit question. M hasn't ever been a bad offensive team.

I'm well aware of the PS losing streak to M. I'm also aware of the M losing streak to OSU. It makes next years games that much more exciting for all of us.

Hova - Clarks play wasn't a fumble, it was a TD...and a great play.

I had to You Tube that after I said it. Still was a stupid move on his part with the ball exposed. No matter. We still got y'all number.

3 things that fan in the picture definitely has:

1 - Bad breath
2 - A kickass mullet.
3 - And a trailer park rent payment.

He exposed it to score a TD and he has never started a college game.

You're right, it doesn't matter. We won the game just like Michigan won theirs after 2 goal line fumbles by Hart.

Back to RR & WVU...

Either way, WV looks real bad in all this. I can't imagien any recruit wanting to play for that school. Rodriguez is no saint but compared to the idiots who run WV he looks good. WV seems like a bunch of classless sore losers. Hopefully they get use to losing because the way they handled this is going to make it hard for top recruits to go there.

All this off-field stuff is pretty boring, as several have noted. I suspect that it's all posturing for the lawsuit. There's $4m on the table, and the vultures - ahem - lawyers are circling. I assume U-M agreed to cover RR's exit clause, if it ever gets paid. Broken verbal agreements don't mean squat in the courtroom / litigation process unless one can prove intent to deceive, but U-M's legal team has won at the Supreme Court (in the a landmark affirmative action case in the '90's), so the hicks can take their best shot - they are messing with The Leaders and the Best.

More relevantly, RR did a great job putting WVU into the national title conversation, and that is why U-M hired him. Not because he runs the spread-option, but because he has a track record of success, and as we are finding out, goes to bat for his players and coaches.

Note on U-M v PSU. I love how this game turned into an Instant Classic as soon as PSU joined the Big Ten! As I recall, the visiting team won the first 4 games, adding to the tension. Momentum has PSU rising and U-M falling right now, so I expect it will be quite a game this year!

Success? Maybe, he did lead them to several really good season but definitely not my choice to lead a team into a big game. Anyone see the Pitt game? Not to mention UL and USF and Rutgers in previous years.
I say just pay the money and get on with it, tired of hearing about it. He chose to leave so he owes it.
Only time is going to tell if UM made a good choice.
All Michigan fans just need to learn one word for the upcoming season, BUBBLE SCREEN!

WVU sounds like the proverbial "psycho ex-girlfriend/boyfriend", just can't accept that their love interest has moved on..."Ohhhhh Rich, Michigan will NEVER love you the way WE love you...GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN...I didn't mean it, PLEASE come back!"

ANYONE who takes that coaching job after seeing WVU's treatment of RichRod, is foolish.

Aww boo hoo hoo, you should be more mad about Rodriguez CHOKING against the Pitt Panthers than him leaving to go to Michigan. Michigan over West Virginia is a NO BRAINER

That twas awesome!

Yes, lets all mock the WVU fan, he' s probably from West Virginia, hell he might have even gone to WVU......oh wait, so did Michigan's new coach...so I suppose I'm confused, are you calling your new would-be-savior coach ****? Cause if **** were coaching the amazing maize and blue...well, that'd just make the 5th straight loss to OSU all the more embarrassing...

those bleeps are w-h-i-t-e t-r-a-s-h, man this website is pc

i dont know if this feud will ever go away...they should settle it on the field...college football may have jus created a new rivalry...THE BLUE AND GOLD WAR lol.....who do you guys think would dominated this series b/t wvu and um?
