Well Sporty Fans...contrary to the dipstick reportage you get from Dannie..I have confirmed RR did in fact meet with Michigan per his "press conference" today:
Mountaineer head coach Rich Rodriguez addressed the press after practice Saturday morning, but didn't have much to say about the recent reports that he met with officials at the University of Michigan.
"It may be disappointing to you, but I'm not going to talk about any rumors or innuendos or jobs or whatever else is floating out there. I'm not going to talk about that at all," Rodriguez told reporters. "I'm not talking about anything other than this year's team, this season and this year's bowl preparations."
When pressed, Rodriguez told reporters "You all have not understood what I just said. One more question and unfortunately this conference will end." \Reporters then went on to ask questions about the bowl.
Mountaineer players did speak to reporters about the rumors, some are just as surprised as fans.
"I know just as much as you guys," Pat McAfee told reporters, adding he was "shocked" to hear the reports.
Vaughn Rivers said, "No he hasn't addressed us. So I don't think it's too serious."
Ryan Mundy, who played at Michigan before coming to WVU offered a unique perspective to the rumors. He told reporters that at Michigan there is a lot of pressure on not only the coaches, but also the players.
Mundy said at Michigan a national championship is a "reachable goal" every year,
When asked what he thinks about the rumors, Steve Slaton said, "I don't think about it," and "I don't think it's a distraction."

And that's right from BIG LIAH RR's own big mouth.
