The argument doesn't hold up either since UM has taken two recruits in two years head to head from USC. Fact is, why would you want to come north when you don't have to graduate but 53% of your players.
And who said anything about what recruits UM took from USC? I mentioned LSU in specific. Which team (LSU or UM) do you think has more appeal to kids that want to play for a big name team AT THIS POINT right now?

I would think it depends on where Miles will go for his weather updates.

The number one team in all time wins and winning percentage may sway some thought on that issue.

I read a rumor on a bama message board that LSU is going to offer the job to John Oates if Les Miles goes to Michigan.

"I will remain the Oklahoma State coach and have a bowl game to prepare for."
- Les Miles, late 2003 just before flip-flopping and jumping to LSU









I'm such a degenerate poopie.

Call for Mr. Miles.




There's a Ms. Ann Arbor on the phone for you. Says she has a weather report you've been expecting?


Ah dunno.

Shouldn't the Washington Post reporters zipped it until Nixon got out of office?








Hey....don't look at me.

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.

i think this is the closest michigan has come to getting a coach. it's funny, miles adamantly denied the deal being done, in pretty bald language. i will be lsus coach next season. but the speculation continued, even after he signed his extension...of course petrino signed one of those, after one of his deals went south...the move to the raiders maybe? and five days later he was trying to go to lsu. so you can definitely see why some think all coaches are lying if their lips are moving.
now rodriguez is saying nothing, which imo speaks volumes. refusing to comment is all i'm seeing.

of course rodriguez flirted with bama last year, so who knows?

just read that someone who 'knows someone' inside wva says the deal is done, and will be announced tomorrow.
the wva AD said in an article i read earlier that it 'won't be long' and players know something is up, but they aren't supposed to comment.

i can see turning down 'bama and staying at wva, but turn down michigan?? and of course it was that school who provided mich with their new bball coach last spring.
