I think that it would be fair to say that during football season, Saturdays in Morgantown were mostly happy. Well, what with having a team that's closer to a national championship than Michigan and all that. But now? Now that Rodriguez skipped town, he suddenly has no morals. Where were those morals in the past seven seasons? Were they called into question as he put together the team? And speaking of team, the one that's in Morgantown right now? You know the one. It was put together by Rich Rodriguez, over the past seven seasons. What kind of recruits were *they* when they arrived and played for the Mountaineers? Indeed, some of them will be playing next year...and the next. How is it that the morals of Rodriguez and his recruits were not in question, as long as he was head coach? Why no condemnation? Pure and simple: sour grapes. 705667@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:45:53 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/010617.php#comment-705226 As a tried and true West Virginian I completely disagree with the comment that football is more scrutinized in Michigan. Michigan has a professional team in every major sport, but in West Virginia we have the Mountaineers. And since Charles Woodson left, what has Michigan done? We are far closer to a national title than the Wolverines will be in the Rodriguez years. When the pressure mounts Rodriguez turns to the same play; the QB option. Michigan you'll soon find that you went with a coach with no moral values, and those are the type of recruits you are going to bring in. Good luck making it to a bowl game! 705226@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:10:19 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/010617.php#comment-704613 Bring back Ryan Mallett! 704613@blogcritics.org Sat, 22 Mar 2008 21:05:20 EDT
