Rich Rodriguez has been a godsend for lowly sports bloggers since he decided to leave one industrial state in decline for another industrial state in decline with deeper pockets.  He threw West Virginia under the bus, the dump truck, the snow plow, and some kind of machinery that even the University of West Virginia’s president didn’t think he was smart enough to operate.

It only seems fair now to check in on his first game as the head coach of the University of Michigan.  After all, we should judge the man on his results and not on the hullabaloo surrounding him since his inglorious departure.  So let’s just check in on how he did against Utah… oh, really?  25-23 loss?  Impotent offense?  Loose defense?  Quarterback controversy?

We love you, Rich Rodriguez of the University of RichRod.  Please don’t ever change.

Or, you know, become more awesome. Maybe you could remind everyone that Gerald Ford was the only unelected President or that you really love your Saab.

Or… OR you could tell everyone that you hate coal-fired power plants and you don’t get why the Henry Ford Museum has all that weird crap in it and so little about Henry Ford, all things considered.  Especially how he hated Jews. Bring that up a lot.

God, we’re really looking forward to this Big Ten season.
