Rich Rodriguez on Jim Rome

[ab2cmiller]

I didn't actually listen to the show but here is a synopsis off a Michigan Board:

Synopsis:

Rich Rodriguez thinks:

1) MM (Mario Maningham) and AA (Adrian Arrington) will go pro.
2) Mallett will be transferring.
3) We'll be ok without them.
4) He's "very excited" about one recruit (that he couldn't talk about) and thinks we will end up with a very good recruiting class.

Scout.com: Michigan Forums List

Just from the few people that posted, they either aren't upset about these developments or they have resigned themselves to it based upon earlier speculation.

They seem to be fairly optimistic about getting Terrel Pryor which is who they are speculating number 4 was referring to.

Great Summary of Talk with Jim Rome on Rivals

TheWolverine.com - Rodriguez talks transition, predicts transfers

 

[IrishGrizz]

For selfiish reasons, I hope Pryor goes instead to the buckeyes. However, looks like Michigan would be a better match for him and RR

 

[irish4ever]

I hope this Ricky Rod move really fucks over Michaigan. Damn I hate scUM!

 

[ACamp1900]

Yeah number four was obvious Pryor..... or Evan Epstien

 

[IrishGrizz]

Note that he states he has 15-16 recruits and expects a full class of 25. On that same Michigan Rivals page he already has 17 recruits listed- may be a reason to hope Martin looking to ND?? I know I am probably reading into a simple math mistake on his part, but you can;t blame a guy for hoping.

We are not giving up Epstein without a fight!!!!!!!

ROFL

I beleive Pryor will definetely end up at michigan.

 

[Irish93]

If Pryor goes to Michigan and starts as a true freshman, the comparsions to JC will start fast and furious. The problem is that Michigan probably has better surrounding talent than ND had this year. ESPN will have a field day nonetheless comparing MI's 2008 year to ND's 2007 year.

Do we have a nickname for Richard Rodriguez yet?

Can we get one?

I think in West Virginia he is now referred to as Coach Fraudriguez.

Or Shredder

 

[IrishGrizz]

I like dick rod.

 

[SouthernIrish]

I think its funny that Michigan, which has always prided itself on its coaches hires someone like Rodriguez. The way he left WVU, the messy ongoing divorce etc cannot be going over well with the Wolverines.

I like dick rod.

I agree. It's perfect, while also being "technically" correct. There's a pole on OSU rivals board, and this was far and away the fav.

I'm really looking forward to kicking his skunkbears' asses.
