Maybe the Browns will have winged helmets soon....

Cleveland? I'd just be happy to see them not have orange helmets.

 
Orange helmets are fine just God please don't bring out the orange jerseys again
BEWARE the South Side Stench of Colonbus!!!


So this is what Duncan McCloud feels like.

has RR released an official statement about this yet? i haven't been following it closely.

 Why do things always become more about Edwards than anything else?  This guy was half-baked while at Michigan and it's apparent nothing has changed.  Change the uniforms but don't change tradition?  This guy is nuts.  Please Braylon, we love ya' but go away. 

 
Your right TK
So when we watch Michigan on TV, the announcers can bring up EVERYTIME!!!!!!!! The player thats wearing the #1 jersey, just like Edwards did and how HE wanted it to be a tradition....
 
If I was a player, I would want my own number and not be in the shadow of a former player.. Whats going to happen when the best WR at Michigan does want the number? Alot of these guys keep the same number since they were kids..

An article was just posted on Rivals about it today.

Snippets:

Bo Schembechler once quipped about the reaction he got when he told athletic director Don Canham he wanted to do away with the winged helmet. Though somewhat incredulous about the uproar his oversight caused, Rodriguez said he accepted responsibility for his own faux pas.

"I'm sorry … I hope you all were kind to me on that," Rodriguez told the media Tuesday. "I'll plead ignorance on that. I've talked to our people about it and they informed me of the situation, but I was getting ready to go on the road, I was giving [equipment manager] big Jon [Falk] the roster and had a skill number open, and that kid didn't even ask for No. 1. I said, 'that one's open.'

"I'm educated better now," Rodriguez said. "I talked to Braylon about it a little bit, told him I wasn't aware of the situation with the jersey and we'll get all that fixed. But it's not [a big deal]. If I can fix all problems as easily as I fixed that one, we're in a good place."

Rodriguez said nobody would wear the coveted No. 1 jersey this fall.

Michigan Recruiting Map 2009

RR did a phone interview phone interview on TICKET 1050am WTKA at about 5:15pm last night. few new things were said i heard from him. he addressed this number 1 ordeal when asked. he responded saying that he didnt know about it and just wanted to be informed. he has no intention of breaking and traditions here. he said jersey numbers werent set in stone and that he needed a skill number to give and number 1 was available. he said no one will be wearing number 1 this year, but they will decide who gets it next year. he also again said he did know of this gentlemens agreement and that was cleared up amongst big ten coaches meeting. he also said he didnt take charlie weis "the hell with michigan" comment personally. RR feels he was just trying to fire up the crowd. The buyout was also discussed. RR stated that if an agreement wasn't met by mid July it would have to wait untill next spring as he will be working 7 days a week till signing day next year, (and that WV is busy doing damage control with the gov. daughter getting a fake MBA degree...LOL)

i wish all the bad press about RR would stop. i wish people would back off. i hate the media.

lol whoops should have read this thread before i made my last post. thanks for posting that though.
 

One thing that surprised me was that, from what I read, neither Carter or Edwards spoke to RR about it. Carter doesn't surprise me so much, but I'd think with Braylon offering the scholarship and all that he would of made it a point to be in touch with the new coach about it. Those who can do, do; those who can't, go into journalism.
