    Last August, all of you were saying the Free Press was after you, RichRod was innocent of the violations, everything would blow over, etc.

    Well, now what do you think?

    I honestly am starting to feel bad for RichRod. I mean, everything in the world has gone wrong for him since he left WV. The stress in his life for the past two-three years has to be unlike anything we have ever experienced.

    ...and yet we still find his troubles ridiculously hysterically funny...or at least I do.

    Nobody (atleast myself) never said he was innocent of the violations. I said it was bullshit because it was basically a witch hunt of a "violation" that many other coaches have admitted to committing.

    RR has made his own bed. Sure, other coaches have committed some of the same violations; but trouble seems to follow RR everywhere he goes.

    You mean followed him to UM. What problems did he have previously?

    Weeeellllllllll, the NCAA is investigating things that went on while he was at WVU.

    So there is an investigation at a former school of a coach who is involved in a current investigation. Sounds like normal procedure. What else you got?

    If that "hunt" thing is true, please tell us why it got started. RR seems to be a problem in many ways. IMHO; a terrible hire!

    RR is the best coach Ohio State has ever had at UM.

    Did you read the article? It isn't normal procedure, the investigation is centered around RR. It's not like they are just looking into RR, he is the reason that these schools are being investigated. From the article:
    Sources close to the situation confirmed the investigation centers around former coach Rich Rodriguez's time in Morgantown, when he coached the Mountaineers from 2001-2007 before leaving for Michigan.
    Many have known that RR is a shady guy and that there has been a cloud hanging over him for some time. Michigan chose to ignore that fact and hired him anyway. Now things that many suspected have been brought to light. Take your blinders off, Michigan fuciked up big time hiring this guy. He has set way back one of the most successful programs of all time.

    So if the investigation at UM never happened, would the one at WVU? Of course it is centered around RR. Isn't that what I said?

    I'm no RRod fanboy, but until all this is done and settled, I won't prosecute him.

    It may have, it may not have. This hypothetical will never be answered and really isn't relevent.

    It is absolutely relevant. You are saying that the WVU investigation is an independent investigation b/c RRod is a slimeball that trouble follows. I am saying that the WVU investigation is only a result him being involved in the current UM investigation. No charges/accustations have been made about WVU.

    Until the facts are on the table, I don't think it's fair to say trouble follows him wherever he goes.
  • Tiernan
    Ask that mummified thing he calls his "wife" if she doesn't think trouble follows him everywhere? She knows there is a hillbilly kid about 5 yrs old now that looks amazingly like DickRod born to a former WVU cheerleader. And everyone in Fairmont, WV knows it too.
