		<description>&quot;When Rich Rodriguez was brought into Michigan, it was expected that the team would be in a transitional period and it would take time to assimilate to his offensive system. It was a given the 2008 team would be devastated due to the losses of Henne, Hart, and Long. When RichRod’s system scared away Ryan Mallet to Arkansas and they were left with no quarterback I was willing to accept the failure of one season. But now that the team has failed to make a bowl game for two straight seasons, it’s absolutely pathetic. Some are giving RichRod the benefit of the doubt saying that he didn’t “have talent”. I know recruiting numbers aren’t an exact science but let’s look at Michigan’s recruiting from 2005-08…
Year Scout Rivals 
2008 6 10 
2007 10 12 
2006 T9 13 
2005 2 6 

Do those recruiting numbers look like they are the numbers of a team that’s gone just 8-16 and 3-13 in conference the past two seasons? RichRod you’ve got one year before people will cry genocide. You’ve snapped the bowl streak (which likely wouldn’t have been snapped if Mallet [29 tds to 7 ints this season] was the QB last season). You’ve coached a team to back to back losing seasons for the first time since the 50s. You have no excuses. Get it done or get the fuck out of dodge.&quot;

Where did you find this guy? He (she?) does realize that without Mallet that class would have been dogshit, right? 
Also gone are : 

Brandon Smith - 5 star 
Boo Boo Cissoko - 5 star 
Justin Boren - All Big Ten OG

In his first year RR had an OL who had a total combined 10 starts among them. RRs first year was a complete wash. It shouldn&#039;t even count against him. Also Mallet had his transfer papers in before LLoyd even left so that point is invalid. 

Simon On Sports should do some homework before trying to leave the kiddie table.</description>

		<description>I only have one:

Fuck you Mark Mangino for being a fucking piece of shit and taking a team that should have won the Big 12 North and ran it straight into the fucking ground. Peace out, motherfucker. Have a heart attack and die while Turner Gill returns us to prominence.

		<description>From the U perspective, a few grievances:

Jacory Harris:  J-12 you made some nice plays this year and it is good to have a competent QB again.  But do you realize you can throw the ball away right?  You don&#039;t have to lob meatballs down the field if everyone is covered and just hope one of your athletic receivers comes down with it.  17 picks, DO NOT WANT NEXT YEAR.

MSM and CFB fans:  You realize that the documentary of the U was past tense right?  Shannon may have been the bag man but that was 20 years ago when CFB as a whole was completely different.  /Points you attention to Florida&#039;s 27 arrests over past 3 years and 251 traffic violations.  

Clemson:  Seriously go fuck yourselves.  We all know you have some good wins coupled in with horrible losses every year, thanks for picking that day in Miami to go off.

Miami special teams coach Joe Pannunzio:  Nice decision kicking to Spiller, really nice job there.  Ever heard of a squib kick?  Oh that&#039;s right you messed that up against F$U.

North Carolina:  You guys just have our number what can I say.  Guess that really isn&#039;t a greivance.

Ohio State:  Grats on another BCS bowl, so richly deserved.  I hope you sent Terry Porter his annual gift/check.

USC:  Our dynasty &#039;83-&#039;91 &gt; than yours &#039;03-now.

Florida:  Put us on your schedule you bastards.  I know it generates so much money playing the Citadel every year.  It&#039;s funny you guys would be rolling us for like 5 years straight if you hadn&#039;t cut off the series.

Notre Dame:  Speaking of scheduling, you guys back out of renewing our series with a home and home.  Word to the wise, look at the history of Catholicism and dare to call us criminals.

The school&#039;s administration:  You all looked like a bunch of political pansies for blackballing the U and its makers.  The documentary sheds light, again, on events that took place two decades ago.  It is part of the school&#039;s past for better or worse and gave national attention to the school so quit acting like you&#039;re above it.  

So who has the aluminum poll? I find tinsle distracting.</description>

		<description>10/29/09 for you = 9/20/08 for us. Mike Paulus ran the offense for the second half, UNC fumbled twice inside their own 20, and Ron Cherry&#039;s egomania was truly vintage. If anything, we&#039;re even now. 

Which brings me to my grievances: 

1. Ron Cherry. If a Ugandan says his name three times fast, he will magically appear and charge him 15 yards for Beriberi. 

2. The Cavaliers. I would rather return to being in a British colony than to see the Jeffersons win another football game against us. (Maybe we&#039;re not so different after all, CGB.)

2a. Mike London. I am convinced that the only reason he was hired was to keep UNC&#039;s GrohWelshian curse alive.  

3. NC State. You save your best game for us. We get it. Now how about the other 11, huh?

4. T.J. Yates, who just threw interception on a screen play somewhere in Pittsboro.

5. John Shoop. The occasional pass play over 10 yards would be nice.</description>
