Michigan's Rodriguez gets emotional after 5th loss

Michigan's Rodriguez gets emotional after 5th loss
LARRY LAGE, Nov 8, 2009
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was handed a victory cigar after each of his four wins in September. Since then, his season has gone up in smoke. Michigan has lost five of six and dropped to 5-5 with two ugly third-quarter meltdowns leading to losses against Illinois and Purdue.
