Richie Rich

Let's say Rich Rodriguez stayed at West Virginia, would Michigan have won their 2008 opener this past weekend? I say yes. Of course Michigan lost virtually has no returning starters from last year's team.

I was Rodriguez fan when he was leading the Mountaineers, but his true colors showed when he became the man at Michigan. He virtually had no regard for any of the maize and blue's extremely rich tradition. The #1 was not given to the teams top wide receiver which it has been the past few years. Before that, he virtually ran off the teams top wideouts, Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington.

As silly as it may sound, you will soon find out that I hate Reebok and Adidas. I am a Nike man through and through. The great Kanye West said, you can't tell me nothing, and you can't tell me nothing when it comes to negativity and Nike. They are perfect, enough said. So I remember seeing Michigan in Nike since I was a young lad, of course there were some slight uniform changes but the Nike check was always constant.

So much to my dismay, as I watched the the Wolverines take the field, they were dressed in Adidas. Are you kidding me. I have friends who didn't sign with certain schools because the school was sponsored by adidas and Reebok. I didn't know what to think Michigan and adidas together? I realized that Rich Rodriguez is stupid and that you don't go into someone else's home and change things up. Rodriguez should look at his situation as having a time share, because he will tell you himself that he is not Michigan man, having grown up in West Virginia, played there and coached there.

I feel like the young OU sooner fan that I was when Howard Shellenberger was named the new head coach at OU. He changed everything he possibly could and scoffed at the Sooner tradition. He didn't last long either, one year to be exact. I hope the same happens to Rodriguez.
