On our way to what would've been one of the most satisfying wins in program history and we fall on our faces in the second half. I still can't believe it happened. Worst loss in post-Morton Badger history. Worse than the 63 point debacle at home vs. Indiana. As Phil, points out, Dick-Rod set out to "rebuild" when in fact he destroyed -- and yet we somehow were his golden nugget in a river of s--t. The only game that comes close to me is the Bret Bell game. But at least it wasn't the worst team in Michigan history!!!

He had virtually nothing to work with when he arrived, and he's got a team that's a vast improvement over last year's squad - yet it's still extremely young. Yes, they lost to Penn State. But, if I'm not mistaken, Penn State is pretty good. This year, Michigan's lost to two superior teams (PSU and Iowa) and one rivarly game that was incredibly close. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can take an honest look at this year's Michigan team and come to the conclusion that Rodriguez is doing a bad job. I know a lot of you want to see them struggle, but really - it seems desire is clouding judgment. Barely beating Michigan at home hardly makes Iowa a superior team. Better? Maybe. Superior? No way. Iowa was fortunate that Michy muffed the punt. Or was that punted the muff? "I knew Jack Schitt. Jack Schitt was a friend of mine and believe me you're no Jack Schitt".

How many Agricultural Journalism majors has the football team had over the last 20 years? In the past, people have stated that the ag journalism major is popular because it is so hard to get into the School of Journalism and that it is not a "gimmee" major. I can't speak to this directly, but merely repeat the statement. Apparently, the Ag School has a number of "shadow" majors, including agricultural economics.

I hope nobody sees the Michy game as a probable win this year..... "For all your Syberg's smoked wings & Laphroig single-malt scotch needs"

We suck? Ok. I'll remember that while I drink your delicious tears from last year's loss to the worst team in Michigan history. How quickly people seem to forget how Carr leaving came about. There was 2005, the back to back horrors in 2007 (App St & Oregon), consistently shitting the bed against OSU and getting owned by the sweater vest. Carr wasn't beating better teams, he was out "talenting" them for a long, long time. Heck even in 2006, we nearly lost to a 3-7 Ball State team (USC embarrassed us that year too for those who don't remember the clinic Pete Carroll put on in the Rose Bowl). Carr was getting soft, the signs were there as Blockski has pointed out. The recruiting class Carr left for RR was mediocre at best and the cupboard really was bare. We're starting 3 walk ons on defense which really doesn't say much for what we had. With the way our linebackers are playing I am somewhat surprised we haven't gone to walk ons there as well. Most rational fans had Michigan going 6-6 or 7-5. I felt I was being optomistic at 7-5 but I still thinks that's doable. We're competitive in almost every game and the games are pretty exciting to watch, which is all I could ask for after last year. RR isn't going anywhere.....2011 is really the year I think most people expect to see serious results.

Overall, they seem to be behind what he's doing. The next two years will tell if that support is warranted or not. But, I don't really think the cupboard was as bare as some Michy fans make it sound. During Carr's last 3 years, Michigan's recruiting classes were ranked 10th, 4th, and 10th by one national publication. Wisconsin would kill to have a cupboard that empty.

Medic already hit it - starting three walk-ons on Defense. Michigan has talent, yes - but they're extremely young. The cupboard was completely bare at the skill positions, though that's gotten better this year. There's a reason why Michigan had walk-ons playing at QB last year and has two true freshmen sharing duties this year. noalibisnoregrets.blogspot.com

It was probably bare in the sense that it wasn't very well filled with players suitable for running the spread offense. "I knew Jack Schitt.

I remember watching Mallett in the Shrine game in HS or whatever it was, the guy was quite amazing. No doubt, walking into a situation where a 5-star QB is waiting for you isn't such a tough job to inherit. I was in grad school at WVU when RichRod was hired and was there through his first few years. He always rubbed me the wrong way - sort of a sleazy, win at all costs kind of guy. He recruited some real winners to Morgantown - largely guys from Florida that the FL schools weren't willing to take a chance on. Of course the way he left, he didn't endear himself to WVU fans, either. On Barwis, the S&C guy brought up earlier in the thread, isn't he the guy famous for chocolate milk as an energy drink?

They are starting freshmen in key spots and have gone 5-3 over a pretty good schedule. Forcier is going to be a handful this year and the next 3 going forward.
