As embarrassing as the UM defense has been this college football season, the Wolverines have another "butt of many jokes" to deal with. Unfortunately, that source of unintentional comedy is the program patriarch itself. At least for now. An excerpt from The Jersey Chaser.com As if Rich Rodriguez doesn’t have it bad enough worrying about getting fired from his job, now … [Read more...] about Rich Rodriguez Cries and Josh Groban Calls ’em Out for it

Where the season ends
By H. Jose Bosch To celebrate the end of the season, and to honor one of my favorite poems and writers, Shel Silverstein, I’ve decided to pen a poem that rounds out my thoughts. If you're unfamiliar with the original, then I suggest you read it. It's a classic and one of my favorites (See, we try to teach at The Sports Bank!) And now my version of the poem, “Where the … [Read more...] about Where the season ends
TSB Exclusive Interview: Rich Rodriguez’s pride
By H. Jose Bosch The Sports Bank’s very own H. Jose Bosch has been given a once-in-a-lifetime exclusive interview with Rich Rodriguez’s pride. Long believed to have disappeared, Jose has managed to find it and get the interview everyone’s been wanting.

Falling into the abyss will test loyalty for Rich Rodriguez
By H. Jose Bosch I didn’t watch a single play from Saturday’s debacle in Ann Arbor. Why? I was tailgating with my father before James Madison University took on the University of Maine. That’s right. I picked a Football Championship Series (formerly Division I-AA) football game between two mediocre FCS teams over the Wolverines on an HDTV. That’s how far Michigan has … [Read more...] about Falling into the abyss will test loyalty for Rich Rodriguez
Yet another sad chapter in the Michigan football saga
By H. Jose Bosch Dear Michigan football fans, This is not the way I want to end things, but I just couldn’t bring myself to tell you in person. I’m leaving. Yes, I know the season isn’t done yet but I feel like it’s time for me to go. I think Saturday’s loss proves that this has all just been a charade. I mean, when we walk down the street together, people are … [Read more...] about Yet another sad chapter in the Michigan football saga
Illini Win??!!?? Yes, You Read That Right!
By Paul Schmidt There's no one anywhere who predicted an Illinois win Saturday against Michigan. I'm about the biggest Illinois apologist that there is, and even I was urging you to bet against the Illini, and to lay 7 points while doing it! After a short amount of time, however, the glow of a great victory has waned and left two very poignant questions to be … [Read more...] about Illini Win??!!?? Yes, You Read That Right!
Michigan and Rich Rodriguez have nothing but a bowl to play for
By H. Jose Bosch No one can convince me that there is a better place in the world than Buffalo Wild Wings. Why? Plenty of solid beers to choose from; the wings, unlike Hooters, are actually good and the whole atmosphere of it all helps you forget that your college football team is actually as mediocre as you feared. I’m sorry, what? What was the third thing I wrote? … [Read more...] about Michigan and Rich Rodriguez have nothing but a bowl to play for
It’s not time to drink the Kool-Aid … yet
H. Jose Bosch How does one respond to Delaware State’s 63-6 undressing at the hands of the Wolverines? Happiness? Pity? Change the channel to watch a more interesting game? I didn’t have the third option because my father and brother were starved for the success Kool-Aid they drank after 4-0. In fact, to stick with the Kool-Aid analogy, this weekend’s game was the … [Read more...] about It’s not time to drink the Kool-Aid … yet

All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.
By H. Jose Bosch I went to Michigan bar in the middle of the desert or Scottsdale, Arizona depending on your perspective, to watch Michigan’s home opener. It was me, a friend and quite a few Michigan fans huddled around the many TVs throughout the top floor of the bar. The Syracuse-Minnesota crapfest had just ended on ESPN 2 and all of us were waiting in anticipation for … [Read more...] about All Hail! the mighty Wolverines … for now.
