RichRod Should Stop Whining
SimonOnSports — ... stuff like he should be castrated or fired or shipped back to West Virginia. All of those statements are probably a bit harsh (except maybe castration) but its on a message board, who cares. Well apparently Rodriguez does. "It's amazing some of the things that people would say [on a message board] or yell at you of a personal nature," Rodriguez said Monday. "You almost want to tell them, 'Get a life.' "There's a whole lot bigger problems. Look at the economy." ESPN Ok first of all, why the hell are you, your family members or any of your ...

Rodriguez on negative fans: 'Get a life'
The Diag — There's very little question that this season, and all its mounting losses, are eating away at Rich Rodriguez. And he had some words for all those spouting negative messages . "It's amazing some of the things that people would say [on a message board] or yell at you of a personal nature," Rodriguez said Monday. "You almost want to tell them, 'Get a life.' "There's a whole lot bigger problems. Look at the economy.". I will wholeheartedly agree with him that sometimes the message board comments, and things in a similar realm, tend to get out of control. Not all of that comes ...

Rich Rodriguez To Michigan Fanboys: "Get A Life" [College Football]
Deadspin — ... Era at Michigan is not going as planned. (If you're a Michigan State or Ohio State fan, however, you're probably thinking that it could not have been planned better.) The Wolverines are in the midst of a historically awful season that has fans and alumni noticeably upset. So with the untackleable Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State looming on Saturday and a ninth loss (and fifth in a row to the Buckeyes) a likely scenario, Rich Rod has one message for his greif-stricken supporters—y'all just need to get over it. ...

Rich Rodriguez Wants You to Stop Caring So Much
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog — ... So it goes for Rich Rodriguez this year at Michigan. He came in as the Next Big Thing — well, maybe second to Les Miles — and the Wolverines have been absolutely wretched this year to the tune of 3-8. With the Buckeyes being the heavy favorites for the UM-OSU tilt this weekend and the Wolverines destined for their fifth loss in a row to their rivals, Rich Rod has some words for you fans out there: ...

Howard On Wolverines: “This Is Michigan Tech”
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ... , with several more to follow. Among those on their way out of Ann Arbor is noted white running back and YouTube legend Sam McGuffie . In case you aren’t familiar with his work: I wonder if Rodriguez wishes that Howard would “get a life” along with other Michigan fans who have been giving him grief this season?

Raking The Muck: Featuring Chris Martin Edition
Rakes Of Mallow — ... .  I will not miss seeing McGuffie on the opposing sideline, and I'm very interested to see where he ends up (in Mike Leach's lab back home in Texas?).  But Michigan fans should stop worrying about this and just get a life anyway, even if that enthusiasm is the only reason a certain gentleman is getting paid millions of dollars every year to do something thousands of people across the country do for free. ...

Across the Border: Northwestern
Varsity Blue — ... What I saw: Blah, blah, blah. You don’t care what I saw last week. We have talked enough about all those boring second-rate conference games. This week is the real deal. No matter how old I get and regardless of how many other things I have going on, this game makes me feel like I am 13-years old again. So, I am sure as hell not going to tell you to “get a life.” This game is very important. ...

Spring Hopes are High in Ann Arbor
In The Bleachers - A College Football Blog and Podcast — ... All of that could be brushed aside with a few wins, but the Wolverines started the season with a home loss to Utah. Next week was a bit better with a win over Miami (OH), but that was 1 of 3 total wins that the Wolverine fans would see. Overall, Michigan went 3-9 and in the middle part of the season rode a 5 game losing streak. It was all capped off with another loss to their rival Ohio State, in embarrassing fashion, and Rodriquez’s comments that Michigan fans need to “Get a Life”. ...
