Oh B85 you know better. This "article" is pure garbage and dripping with the self-satisfaction that short term success brings certain people.
Rodriguez called the rivalry "the biggest in all of sports" during his Sunday Conversation interview... this is all about Buckeye fans and supporters feeling slighted because Rodriguez hasn't sat around and acted like it's the only game that matters since he took the post.
Frankly I'm surprised at your reaction, I would've throught you'd be able to see through some of this stuff by now... The tackling dummies at practice have the OSU logo on them... believe me, the guy understands it's a big game. Just because he doesn't say it every second doesn't mean your fan base needs to get its delicate sensibilities all twisted up in a bunch.
I think perhaps the best thing about this is how it rips on Moeller and the has to say... well, yes, he did go 3-1-1 but errrrrrrrr he was still stupid....
No, you mistake my post as agreement with the premise of the article. I was only questioning how this would really be bulletin board material.
I am on record admitting that RRod quite obviously understands the nature of this rivalry. He just approaches differently.
As did Cooper. His "just another game" comment was a weak attempt to calm his team down after years of choking because he had them wound up tighter than a drum. But he obviously knew the significance of the game, even in years when we were not in the running for the MNC.
You want to know how this can be bulletin board material. Fair enough. Let’s review: Look who’s wearing the lampshade now.
It was bad enough that disgraced Michigan football coach Gary Moeller — last seen in Ann Arbor getting pink-slipped after drunk and disorderly conduct — refused to acknowledge Ohio State as a bigger rival than Michigan State. Let’s see. It took him all of 2 seconds to ask who’s wearing the lampshade and to rip Gary Moeller, who kicked your ass. Alrighty, we’re off to a good start. Jim Tressel started counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to the Michigan game on the January afternoon he was hired as Ohio State’s coach in 2001. Given his 6-1 record against the Maize and Blue, Rich Rod might want to find out where Tressel purchases his watches and clocks. Yep, ‘cuz EVERY coach should be just like The Vest. This statement is pretty much what I would expect from a 5 th grader. Besides, the Vest doesn’t purchase watches-he passes them out as “signing bonuses”. It’s too late for Moeller to buy a clue. For him to downplay the OSU-Michigan rivalry was especially unforgivable since he had seen the game from both sides as a Michigan coach and OSU captain. Maybe because he was 3-1-1 against Ohio State, with wins of 31-3 and 28-0 (thanks, Coop), he didn’t see it as that big a deal. Umm…ok…not sure how this is relevant to anything (other than possibly blaming Cooper for EVERY SINGLE THING bad in a Buck’s life) but ok.
Or is he just ignorant? Now we’re getting to the meat. He’s now called Rod ignorant. Of course, coming from a moron I don’t put a lot of stock in this. Beating Ohio State should have vaulted to No. 1 on Rich Rod’s to-do list, if only because the Buckeyes are already winning at his expense. He listened as disgruntled offensive lineman Justin Boren ripped his staff’s lack of “family values” and then watched as Boren transferred to Ohio State. But that loss of a returning starter paled to losing the nation’s No. 1 recruit, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, to the Buckeyes. Poor delusional paranoid Buckeye fan. Wha!! Did mommy not give you enough love? So sorry if Rod isn’t obsessed with you like you are with us. You’re very creepy in this way. Rodriguez had called Pryor to tell him he was taking the Michigan job before he told his old team. So losing him to his arch-rival — err, one of the 12 teams on Michigan’s schedule — had to be devastating to him, not to mention costly to Michigan, whose transition from a pro-style offense to Rodriguez’s vaunted spread option attack would have taken a quantum leap with Pryor at the controls. Yes, just devastating. (roll eyes, gag.) A quantum leap with Pryor? Don’t use big words you don’t understand.
Maybe Rich Rod’s problem is that he needs to upgrade his DVD collection. Anybody got the last 104 years of Ohio State-Michigan on tape? On tape? On DVD? Which is it jackass? And yes, the last 104 years will be very important come this November. I can’t quite think of anything but give me time. Poor Buck fan. I know how hard it can be when nobody really cares about you and I understand that you want to jump up and down and have a tantrum because you’ve been neglected since birth. You think you’re the greatest-isn’t that enough? Yes, I realize the rest of the nation could care less (especially after the last 2 years when watching Extreme Home Makeover was more compelling than watching the NC games), but really, you need to get over it. Why all the worry disguised as ‘journalism’ regarding RichRod? You said it yourself-he’s ignorant. Why would you spend so much time talking about a guy who is ignorant and doesn’t get it? I mean, you have the greatest coach that ever walked on water. Shouldn’t you spend more time talking about Him? Hmm…kinda makes me wonder. Hey, you’ve had a nice run and I told you long ago to enjoy it while it lasts, because it never does. Yes, your world will crumble again and in the not-so-distant future, but you’ll live. Don’t rip on Rod just because he’s going make that happen sooner than later. It’s not his fault. In the meantime, get up off the floor, get back in your highchair, and sit and color. These outbursts are completely unnecessary and you’re just going to end up being held back a grade….again.
