Purdue coach adds to Rich Rodriguez's misery (AP)

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:21:46 PST

Michigan's Rich Rodriguez says Purdue coach Danny Hope blamed him for getting one of his players suspended. Rodriguez says Hope introduced him to guard Zach Reckman after the Boilermakers' 38-36 win Saturday and said, "Thanks Coach, we appreciate what you did." Reckman was suspended for a game because of a late hit against Northern Illinois in September.

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:16:05 PST

The Wolverines are trying not to let anyone know that desperation is creeping into the program at a time when they hoped to be building momentum towards the postseason, and beyond. With three games to play in the 2009 season, Michigan has lost four straight Big Ten games, and four of its last five overall after a 4-0 start.

The recent loss at Illinois was a snapshot look at what many fear is happening to the Wolverines' season. Michigan went up 13-7 early against the Illini, and had four shots from the 1 yardline to make it a 20-7 lead in the third quarter. Instead, the Wolverines got stuffed on four straight downs, and Illinois got a huge emotional spike from the defensive stand.

The game that looked so close to being in hand, got away from Michigan coach Rich...

Michigan coach urging patience as losses mount (AP)

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:10:44 PST

Rich Rodriguez wants people to have patience with him and his program, even if he doesn't. The Wolverines (5-4, 1-4 Big Ten) lost a game they couldn't afford to at Illinois over the weekend, making Saturday's home game against Purdue (3-6, 2-3) very important. If Michigan wins, it's eligible for a bowl after losing a school-record nine games in Rodriguez's debut season and...

Michigan receiver Roy Roundtree cradled the ball and sprinted for the end zone. Terry Hawthorne took off after him, finally catching up 76 yards down the field and spilling him across the goal line. Points went up on the board and it looked as if another long afternoon for the Illini was taking shape.
