Would the past year of watching the ineptitude of ND's offense been as enjoyable as it was if it weren't for the NDChiefs of the world pumping Charlie "Michelin Man" Weis up as the offensive genius with a schematic advantage and all his shiny SB rings to wow recruits? Don't get me wrong, watching ND suck ass was a thing of beauty bringing much joy to my life, but the NDChiefs of the world added a little more joy to it.

Rich Rodriguez changes Michigan captain tradition
FREE PRESS STAFF AND NEWS SERVICES ? May 22, 2008
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez won't name season-long captains, ending a tradition that has lasted mostly for 100 years at Ann Arbor:
Rodriguez, on the captains: ?I don?t pick permanent captains before the season. It?s just my philosophy. I want to see them lead throughout the year and pick permanent captains at the end. Sometimes you pick a permanent captain and he winds up not being one of you best leaders and you?re stuck with him. So we will have game by game captains, seniors and at the end of the year, the team, the players themselves will pick the permanent captains at the end of the year. We will also have honorary captains that are former Michigan greats. For every game, we?ll have one or two.?
MICHIGAN CAPTAINS SINCE 1879
According to the Michigan Athletic Department

Rich Rodriguez: Wolverines will not celebrate; 'They?re going to hand the ball to the official'
May 22, 2008
As Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez addressed more than an hour and a half of questions on Tuesday, more than a few interesting topics arose ? many which there was not room for in Wednesday?s paper
We?ll spread those out over the coming days and weeks.
On how he balances the drama of West Virginia?s lawsuit against him with his other obligations: ?I?ve compartmentalized everything. I?ve hired lawyers and I have my wife to help deal with that. It?s not been real distracting from my day-to-day activities but, more than anything, it?s not letting me enjoy this opportunity as much as I?d like to. A transition and a move is usually exciting. It is still exciting but when you hear about another story that?s out that?s not true or its? part of a smear campaign, it?s geez, I?ve got to deal with that now. It?s been unfortunate. I thought there would be some reaction, some emotional reaction, but not to this level. I feel for my family but again, I?ve chose to stay focused on the future. I?m at a great place with a great staff.
?For me I?ve just compartmentalized everything and moved forward with Michigan. But there?s been some days and some nights, in particular, where it hasn?t been much fun. A 7 1/2-hour deposition wasn?t fun. But it wasn?t difficult. It?s easy when you tell the truth. If you lie, you?ve got to remember what you lie about. If you tell the truth, all you have to do is sit there and tell the truth. It wasn?t difficult, but it was time-consuming.?

Rich Rodriguez: Talent pool 'OK' but expect many freshmen to play
May 22, 2008
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez joined the Hugh Show in Grand Rapids this week. A highlight from the conversation
Rich Rod, on the talent pool right now at Michigan
?I think it?s ok, it?s really inexperienced. That's not excuses or nothing like that. I usually just kind of tell it the way it is, generally. We just don't have a lot of experience, especially on offense but we've got some on defense so I think we are going to be more experienced more talented on the defensive side. I think we are going to have some talent on offense.
"We are going to be a little bit faster with when the young guys get in there some of the freshmen but they haven?t played, so I don?t know how they?re going to react. I do really like the class that?s coming in, we?ll probably play more freshmen this year than we have in the past.
