What the heck is going on in that program? I don't remember hearing anything like this when he was at WVU.

As a Buckeye fan who realizes that the bigten needs Michigan to be a top tier team, this is a bummer.

That's pretty much it Stardust. Rod does a lot of things that run against tradition in a tradition-rich program, and if there's anything UM football people respect, its the tradition. It short, he's not a "Michigan" man. Other than another recruit leaving, the Threatt thing isn't a real big deal in the football sense. There was a good chance he'd lose his job to incoming frosh Tate Forcier anyway. I don't see Threatt starting elsewhere.

I do remember a lot of talk about the tradition thing. Especially when he gave the number "1" to a non-wide receiver. At some point I'd think that the booster and alumni backlash would be enough for the AD to have a serious talk with him about these sorts of things.
