but the Big East wasn't nearly as awful when Rich Rod was dominating it. Winning at the rate he did at West Virginia was winning "at this level."
The Big Least has been awful since Miami left. The "U" was basically propping that conference up. Pitt died after Marino-Hugh Green left, WVU had a nice run under Nehlen, but was up and down before collapsing near the end of Nehlen's term.
Basically, it was the U, occasionally WVU, and no one.
Because Louisvile under Petrino was consistently ranked and occasionallly in the top ten, Rutgers had a few very solid years with Ray Rice, and South Florida was #2 at one point in 2007, I'm calling this comment inane. They also obliterated everyone in their path under RR.
You better check your facts. Both Pitt and WVU were very good in the 2000s. Both teams made BCS bowl games. Secondly, Pitt win over WVU was a huge win. I was at the game and it was a great upset. Have you never see an underdog upset a higher-ranked team? You're spewing nonsense out of your fingertips.
[T]he Big East has the best bowl winning percentage of any existing conference during the BCS era.
From this:
Arguing that WVU dismantling Oklahoma is irrelevant because Oklahoma loses a lot of big games is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. They held an amazing offense well below what they had done all year and shredded them to bits. If beating Oklahoma doesn't count for anything, how did Boise State use beating them into gaining the #3 ranking during the season.
You also say that the offense works, yet his "style" doesn't work. What does that even mean?
College bowl games are strange animals. Positive or negative, I wouldn't give the results of a bowl game too much credence. In bowl games, you can pretty much throw out the W-L records and regular season stats. It generally comes down to one thing -- which team is motivated to play and which team isn't.
Wouldn't give bowl games much credence? Having a coach who can prepare his team for bowl games is a huge deal if we want to win national titles. A successful regular season doesn't mean shit if your team doesn't show up in the bowl game.
So all of those great Bo Schembechler led squads that flamed out in their bowl game -- their seasons didn't mean shit? All those Big Ten titles and victories over Ohio State didn't mean shit, huh?
Interesting concept.
that Oregon/Auburn match up then? And all those painful Rose Bowl loss memories, the beautiful bowl record against the SEC, or that thing that happened in '97. Among others
RR didn't coach that game, did he? Granted he did assemble the team, but technically that game isn't even on his record. I'd give him a lot more praise for beating UGa than OU, considering he actually beat UGa as the head coach, and did the bowl game preparation.
WVU only scored 9 points that game because Pat White didn't finish the game. Unlike at WVU, we can attract a 3 deep at quarterback that are all worthy of starting as underclassmen. Let's win the bowl game before we talk about 2011, who will start at QB next year. However, as a Rich Rod supporter, I like the presumptive nature of your statement that there will be a 2011 to determine his fate. Obviously, another mediocre season (i.e.7-8 wins with no wins against the big ten elite) and no amount of optimism can save him.
......of contention with your post.
1. Oklahoma is 2-5 in BCS bowls, with one of those wins a title game win and 3 of the losses were in the title game. Out of seven BCS bowls, four were MNC games.
2. You state, "The level of competition at the top of the BT is significantly greater than in the BE." That is true, but then one has to consider the fact that the athletes RR is recruiting here at UM are significantly greater than those he had at WVU. Given that it has taken nearly three years to get his athletes to the top of the depth charts for most positions on the offense, and that another year will bring nearly all positions on O starting "his" guys, one could/should overlook at least the first year RR was here as any indication of how his teams will compete in the future. He isn't using WVU type players here at UM. If he were, then your statement would have merit for arguing against RR and his offense. Being that he is using better caliber players than he did at WVU makes your statement a moot point in the argument of whether or not RR can win in the B10.
3. He has shown that "his style" can work here. Even with the big losses this year, the team still moved the ball at will almost against what some consider very good defensive teams. Once turnovers and stupid penalties are reduced(a product of experience, of which his team's here haven't had much of), those yards will turn into points that should change how competitive we are with the top of the B10.
He was getting 10-11 win seasons at WVU and winning BCS bowls? FWIW, Michigan is 1-4 in BCS bowl games, the lone victory coming becaust 'Bama missed a PAT in OT in the 2000 Orange Bowl.
Rich Rod's Mountaineers were 2-0 in BCS bowls, and a touchdown away from the national title game.
When he coached at Glenville State in the mid 90's, he brought them their first conference championship (WVIAC) since the 50s and also got them to the NAIA national championship game.
Also, WVU had the nation's 7th best defense and 14th best passing defense in 2007 under Rodriguez and Casteel.
So, yeah, I think there's sufficient evidence to show that he can do alright.
We all know how bad the Big East is--especially after Miami and BC left. It is one thing to beat Rutgers or Cincinnati, it is quite another to beat Ohio State or Penn State. Big difference in athleticism and depth of talent between those schools.\
One year in 7 years is nopt a good statistic to use. What was happening in the other 6 years? In a power conference like the Big Ten, defense matters. That is not so in the Big East which is closer to the MAC than the Big Ten in terms of fan support, tradition, and the athletes those schools get.
That said, he did win alot at that level and he deserves the plaudits that come with it. My point is that he has yet to show that he can have that level of success here at UM.
Rodriguez went 3-8, 9-4, 8-5, 8-4, 11-1, 11-2, and 11-2, and won bowl games over Georgia, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma. BTW, before Va Tech left, Rodriguez's team beat #3 Virginia Tech 28-7 in 2003 (and lost to #2 Miami by 2 points).
I don't think you understand how coaching hires work. Tressel was going well at Youngstown State beating teams that Ohio State would pummel, and things are working out for him well down south. It seems to me you would suggest that hiring Tressel might have been a bad idea because the talent level his school was playing against was far inferior to Ohio State's level.
You [usually] hire up, coaches that show consistent success in their conference -- whether it is lower or not. For example, WVU wouldn't have hired Rodriguez right after his graduate work. He needed to work his way up (Coordinator at Tulane, Clemson, head coach at Glenville State, etc.)
He won at every other level he has coached, so there's no reason to think he can't do it. I will agree with you that he hasn't yet done it.
Also, convenient how you forgot about WVU's 2 BCS wins, coming within a TD (and/or injury) of the national championship game, their consistent Top 5 ranking,
Since you asked...
In 2001, WVU's defense ranked 40th overall, 1st in pass defense, 8th in pass eff. defense, and 104th in rush defense
In 2002, WVU's defense ranked 33rd overall, 55th in pass defense, 30th in rush defense
In 2003, WVU's defense ranked 74th overall, 104th in pass defense, 34th in rush defense
In 2004, WVU's defense ranked 37th overall, 32nd in pass defense, 50th in rush defense
In 2005, WVU's defense ranked 15th overall, 34th in pass defense, 19th in rush defense
In 2006, WVU's defense ranked 62nd overall, 109th in pass defense, 13th in rush defense
In 2007, WVU's defense ranked 7th overall, 14th in pass defense, 18th in rush defense.
I think 5 of 7 years with pretty decent, sometimes stellar defenses isn't too shabby. Big enough sample size for you now?
Also, Michigan's defense was ranked worse in 2002, almost equal in 2004, worse in 2005, and worse in 2007.
So, Michigan's defense was worse than (or nearly equal to, 2004) WVU in 4 of Rodriguez's 7 years. Not horrible.
What has he done to warrant confidence of future success? His track record at UM does not really indicate that, so you use his track record at WVU to make your argument. FIne, but then WVU is a different animal than UM. Different level of attention and expectations and more importantly, the school is in a subpar conference.
The question I originally asked was how could people be so confident when he has shown no sgns of replicating that success here? You have to provide evidence from UM to really sell your belief.
I would not say that hiring a guy from a lower level was a bad idea. Not at all. But your Tressel analogy fails. JT was a lifelong Ohio guy who coached at OSU previously. He knew the school in and out. More importantly, he knew the conference. To add to this, he won and won big at that lower level. 4 NT's is pretty damn impressive. RR had much success at WVU and that certainly cannot be discounted. But then he did not know the Big Ten or Michigan. He was and is a complete outsider to not just Michigan, but the conference as a whole. Thus, your analogy fails.
I appreciate the info you provide. It looks good, but then it leads ne to wonder why his defenses have been so terrible here. His greatest failing has been his inability to find a good defensive staff. That leads one to wonder if he got lucky with Casteel at WVU because he has displayed no acumen when it comes to finding good defensive staff talent at UM.
Oh I don't know. Other than improve each year. Yeah, that sounds about right to me. If the defense can become even mediocre next season, we could very well be looking at a 9-10 win season (even pre-bowl) next year. Only time will tell. But it's not exactly outside the realm of possibility. Not even close.
Record-wise, they did. But if one looks closer, they will start to wonder. UM was down by at least three td's in all 5 losses, they struggled to put away a D-1AA team, the defense was even worse than it was last year, the offense still turned the ball over at an alarming rate..there are many issues.
The difference between the '09 season and '10 can be seen in two games--Purdue and Illinois. What changed in the year between the games? (Besides Denard) In regards to illinois, where the game was played and who the Illini quarterback was. The fact that the illini scored 65 means that the QB changed mattered not, but maybe the fact that the game was at home made a difference. We all know that homefield makes a difference. Perhaps it was enough of a difference to give UM the two point win.
But the biggest difference can be found with Purdue. While Purdue was at home vs UM, they where no in the position to exploit UM's weakness--defense--with backups at QB, WR, and RB. The Boilermakers were decimated by injuries.
Using these games as a measuring stick, I would say that made minimal improvement, Yes, the offense was better, but the defense was worse. Denard's heroics in one game vs Illinois and Mother Nature and bad luck assistance in the other are the difference between back-to-back 5-7 seasons.
UM was far more competitive versus OSU, MSU, and Iowa in'09 then they were in '10. This is something that also has to be factored in the equation when evaluating the '10 season. Why was there such a dropoff in competitiveness?
Yes the defense was worse, sure. Thats what happens when your 3 defensive players, start bunches of freshmen and the secondary goes to hell. However, look at the yardage differential per game and/or just watch the games we have played this year and if you don't see an improved team, I'm not sure what you are looking at.
Overall, I am very pro RR, but there are arguments you can make to suggest that he should be fired. However, you haven't made any of them.
Denard's heroics in one game vs Illinois and Mother Nature and bad luck assistance in the other are the difference between back-to-back 5-7 seasons.
So when we pull off wins it's either a player being a hero or sheer luck, but when we lose it's entirely the fault of the head coach? Come back when you extract your head from your ass.
Why was there such a dropoff in competitiveness?
There's this thing called defense.
You, know, it IS possible for other teams to get better as well. Illinois did. Wisco, OSU, and MSU all did as well. They aren't 11-1 by accident.
Don't forget he did lose 5 out of his last 7 this year. I would feel a little better if they were improving as the year went on.
Evidence at U-M (with a little speculation):
He has won 2 more games than the previous year each year at Michigan.
His track record at U-M is following the exact trajectory it did at WVU and GSU where he did achieve considerable success. A disasterous first year, followed by steady improvement, and finally sustained success -- until he is hired by the next school. Perhaps it's not a pattern, but 2-for-2 is at least somewhat convincing.
Let's not forget that our defense is starting 4 true freshman with anywhere between 3 and 6 getting significant playing time. For comparison, the conference's best defense (Ohio State) is only utilizing the help of 2 underlcassmen (both SOPHOMORES) and ZERO freshman. Sure, you probably can't boil the defensive issues under Rodriguez down to something so simple, but the youth is a factor, I can assure you. And I think it's a very safe assumption to assume at least marginal improvement as they grow up -- they've gotten very valuable game time in early, and that will only benefit. So, we have an offense that will be either the best in the Big Ten (as good as it was this year) or better. This is combined with a defense that may be at worst marginally improved and an "easy" schedule (compared to 2010) means that another 2-3 wins (i.e. a 9-3 or 10-2 record) is attainable.
To be honest, I'm not sure whether Rodriguez will succeed here or not, we're arguing about different things. I maintain that he hasn't been given a fair chance, his recruits are only sophomores (a couple juniors), and if he was truly brought in to put into a new system with his players, then, he has not been able to do that yet and needs to at least finish his contract. Then, instead of the volumes of speculation across the internet about the subject, we would finally know whether or not it will work.
You didn't understand my analogy then. It was meant to be broader than that, not specific to this case.
As far as the defense goes -- Rich Rod described it as a "perfect storm". Rich Rod has tried to build up a defense, but the recruits don't stay/didn't get in (Demar Dorsey), especially at DB. Also, the injury to Troy Woolfolk was pretty killer. Sure, you can blame Rodriguez for T-Wolf's injury, say he chased away players, conspire that he has a secret plan to destroy Michigan, etc. but judging by the way the current players talk about Rodriguez, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it wasn't because he was hated that some of his recruits left.
As I said, I don't know, but given that he's just now on his 3rd recruiting class and he was brought in to completely change the system his way, I don't think he's yet had the chance to do that.
Exact trajectory?
That's ridiculous. Rodriguez's track record is one of blowing up the team during the first year while he installs his system then a huge leap in the next year. We haven't seen a leap at Michigan. We have seen steady but glacial progress. And in 2011, the best case scenario for the defense is a bit below average ranking and a pummeling at the hands of a Pryor-led OSU offense. They will put 50 up next year if they choose. The only hope is that Denard makes another huge leap this off-season and learns to read secondaries better and puts on 10 pounds so he doesn't get knocked out so often. Winning the division or conference is very optimistic. Continued glacial progress to 9-3 is the likely scenario. The leap is nowhere to be found.
He was supposed to install his system with Threet/Sheridan and take off like a rocket the next season? How about looking at it this way: Denard's freshman year was when the system was really installed, and he went 7-5 in the second year.
I think Rodriguez deserves a mulligan for first season. But from season 2 to 3, there was no leap, just glacial linear progress.
You guys realize that he has yet to show anything at UM to believe that he will win NT's at UM or anywhere else, don't you?
Like losing at home to a bad PItt team in that final regular season game. Like not having to play in decent conference loaded with NFL athletes.
He accomplished alot at that level. One hopes that is predictor of success, but thus far it has not manifested itself on the field. If you are going talk about facts, include his first three years and then compare it against coaches at other traditional powers. His numbers do not stack up well.
I love the offense and like the guy, but I have questions about whether he can win here. This is not me hating, but wondering.
like it's the ultimate indictment of a coach?
In 2007, Jim Tressel lost to Ron Zook's Illinois team -- which was coached by Ron Zook -- at home. Pete Carroll made a tradition out of losing or almost losing to Oregon State, and once lost to a gawd awful Stanford team.
It's college football. Upsets happen, even when a team is of national championship caliber.
Tressel and Carroll had a track record of success against teams in elite conferences.They both also won NT's.
RR ruled a crap conference and had one signature win as HC(Georgia).He was indeed on the precipice of a NT appearance, but he could not defeat a bad team at home.
I am mentionig this game because you guys keep saying that he was "one game away". Well, if you are going to bring it up then it is fair game for use by all involved.
against teams from elite conferences, or elite teams from "lesser" (yet still BCS) conferences? How about his BCS win over Georgia, and his team beating (more like blowing out Oklahoma) right after he took the Michigan job? And the Big East wasn't exactly strong when Miami and VaTech were both still members (however, you'd be hard-pressed to convince anyone that was watching college football then that those two themselves weren't damn good), but he was hanging with both, if not beating them, right before they left to join the ACC. He does have a track record of success. At all levels. You just seem to be hell-bent on ignoring it for some reason.
"Hanging" with teams is not success. And how many times did he actually play them? Twice?
You mention Georgia and that is correct. But one game does not make a track record. I'd like you to show more than just a single game.
In contrast to that, we do have a track record of a lack of success. I can point to his totally blemished record vs OSU, MSU, Iowa, and PSU. I can point to his offense scoring only 24 pts in three years vs OSU or 58 in the same time span vs MSU. I can point to three straight double digit defeats to Penn State. I can point to a 6-18 Big Ten record or 0-12 versus teams that finished in the top 25. These are what I would call a track record.
After three years, what happaned at a previous stop starts to fade into irrelevance as there is now enough data to see trends.
With RR, the trends are..well, not overly encouraging. Yes, his record has improved each year. Yes, his offense has also improved each year. But then his defense and special teams have gotton worse. His team was less competitive in '10 vs the the power teams in the BT than they were in '09.What does this mean?
I am not on either side. I am a Michigan fan and I support whomever is coach. But I have started to question whether the RR experiment is going to work. I don't think it makes a person a "hater" if after looking at the data they start to wonder if this is going to work.
try and stick with the point that he has no track record of success. Then I'm honestly done even trying with you.
EDIT: And yes, the defense was statistically worse this year than last. Probably our worst defensive unit in the modern era of major college football. However, have you ever actually looked at why that is? Did you simply see that we gave up more yards/points and decided to go all "rabblerabbleINEXCUSABLErabblerabble"? Or did you actually look under the hood to see what the real problem was? With all that is returning next season, if there isn't a marked improvement in the team (special teams may still be a problem, but here's hoping that is addressed in the off-season as well) then there will be cause for concern.
You are pointing at everyone saying, "you keep bringing up that one win against Georgia" )when most poster have provided much more than thay) yet your entire arguement is he lost one game to PItt (while totally ignoring why that might have happened).
Dude, just give it a rest.
Edit: This was @ salvatore. I don't know how it ended up being a response to you.
Look, you can think whatever you want about RR and I don't really care if I change your mind about anything but you're the one that said he hasn't shown anything in relation to playing for a NT. Myself and others have shown that he was in strong contention for the NT a few years ago. No doubt the Big East isn't on the same level as the B10/SEC/PAC10 but the guy ran through the conference in his last few years like you would expect a BCS caliber team to do. Yeah he lost to a bad Pitt team but shit happens when you lose an integral part of your team like the starting QB to injury during a game. Do you not remember our own 2007 season when it seemed like Hart and Henne were always hurt at one point or another? Don't you think things might have turned out a bit differently if they were both healthy throughout the season?
I'm not questioning your fandom and I have no doubts that you would rather have seen team succeed under RR the last few years than what has transpired. Like you said, 2011 is an extremely important year and I don't think there are many that disagree with you but using his past head coaching experience as an indicator like you pointed out, maybe the worst is behind us. Will we be winning 10+ games and playing for nationals titles in the near future? Nobody can say for certain but I feel better believing (and I truly do believe) that RR can and will get us there. Plus I like seeing Denard smile.
Plus I like seeing Denard smile.
Who doesn't? I mean, it's just downright infectious.
.....RR and his being able to be successful in the B10 hinge on his previous track record at a different school, being that the school played in an inferior conference. True, but you state that as an absolute, completely disregarding the caliber of athletes he had on hand at that school compared to at UM. The fact that he is bringing in B10 caliber athletes here, in the B10, discounts your assertion that he cannot do in the B10 what he did at WVU.
Yes, he hasn't shown that he can do so definitively yet, but this team also showed the promise that they could.
If not, he'll be counting NC's somewhere else and we'll get torn apart by every mobile QB we play.
I don't understand what you're getting at. Has Michigan shown an ability to shut down mobile quarterbacks in the post-Ron English/Jim Herrmann era? I've seen them get chewed up by guys like Justin Siler, Juice Williams, and Terelle Pryor just as they were destroyed by Vince Young and Donovan McNabb in years past.
The time? Five days before Christmas 2010. The place? MGoBoard. It has been months of the most devastating warfare in Michigan blog history. New posts were used with sarcasm, vitriol, nuclear warfare, and facepalms.The negging and bombing was horrendous and yet there was a call between RR, JH, and Hoke supporters to cease fire and they crawled out from behind their computers to peacefully celebrate the Gator Bowl. They sang Hail to The Victors, exchanged lol catz, posbanged each other's posts, posted funny pics, and buried their hatchets. This peace would last through New Year's Day. In the following weeks, hundreds would be negged in to Bolivian until a new leader was crowned. The next year, they would be united against the enemies of good once again.
A man can dream, a man can dream.
There are Hoke supporters?
Well, I had to put someone in to represent the French. His name was mentioned, but no real threat.
You, sir, a man among boys. Dare I dub thee "Prince" Jhackney?
I would rather be a democratically elected Prince. Unless of course you mean the poster formerly known as Prince...in which I would be most gracious in accepting. Pancakes?

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Kirby Cannon faces a tough schedule in his first season as Austin Peay's coach with the Governors kicking off the season on the road against two Southeastern Conference opponents.
The Governors open at Tennessee on Aug. 31 before visiting Vanderbilt on Sept. 7. The schedule doesn't ease up as the Governors play their first five games on the road with contests at Chattanooga, Ohio and Eastern Kentucky. Austin Peay finally plays at home Oct. 10 against Ohio Valley Conference favorite Eastern Illinois.
Cannon was the secondary coach at central Michigan the past three years and head coach at Missouri S&T before that. He takes over a program that went 2-9 last season. He does have seven starters back on offense led by senior tackle Ben Stansfield and nine on defense.

Testing for legionella bacteria at hundreds of hospitals across Queensland could take a long time and cost a lot of money, Health Minister Lawrence Springborg told reporters as he moved to dampen community fears about deadly contamination on Monday.
Thousands of taps at about 300 public and private health facilities will be tested for the bacteria in a state-first investigation, with results to be reported publicly every Friday until the program is compete.
The tests come after one patient died and another became critically ill at Brisbane's Wesley Hospital earlier this month due to the presence of the bacteria in the hospital's water system.
But Mr Springborg said the "mammoth task" which would cost a "significant amount of money" was only the beginning; a new regime of random testing and reporting against a new set of guidelines would be instituted once the investigation was complete.
He said the guidelines would affect public and private facilities equally.
"When you're looking at 300-odd hospitals across Queensland, many of them public health facilities - there will be numerous tests at each and every one of those - it's going to cost a significant amount of money, but this is about making sure that we get a real snapshot," he said.
"We have the consent of the private facilities for them to test, and also I understand, to report their results. There is no requirement at the moment for them to do that.
"But I would imagine and I won't want to get ahead of things because we're waiting for the chief health officer to investigate and report on this, but we will have a new set of guidelines, we will have a new set of regulations which will apply to public and private facilities."
And while the health minister said authorities were very likely to find the potentially deadly bacteria at even more locations as tests continued, he said there was no broad risk to patients.
The bacteria, which can cause Legionnaires' disease, has so far been found in shower heads, taps and sinks at QE2, Logan, Gold Coast and Ipswich hospitals.
"It doesn't mean that when we find it that people are at risk," Mr Springborg said.
"It only affects people at certain levels, if they have very, very seriously low immune systems."
Hospitals that return positive tests will isolate taps, shower heads and related pipes to ensure no patients or staff are at risk.
Then, depending on the level of bacteria present, they will either flush and/or disinfect the area and then re-test to ensure the bacteria has been eradicated.
It can take up to seven days to confirm the results of a single test.

Even though his fight with former UFC heavyweight champion, Frank Mir, is still a few months out, Strikeforce heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier, is making sure to keep his name on everybody's mind. The ultra talented athlete has been making the media rounds for the last couple weeks, and has even put out a call to action for Zuffa brass to allow him to coach against Jon Jones on The Ultimate Fighter, should he secure a victory against Mir. I'm no matchmaker, but I am a hardcore fan, and to me, the prospect of a TUF season, followed by a superfight between these two elite level athletes, hits a positive note with me. I can only hope that the powers that be see things the same way I do. One thing that should be noted here, is that Daniel doesn't appear to be looking past Frank Mir. We did get his thoughts on his upcoming title defense, and here's what he had to say:
I think if you look at history, it has shown that Frank has kept his weight around that of his opponents, but for Junior dos Santos, he knew that Junior weighs in about 238 or 239, and he ended up staying at 260, so I'm not sure what he's going to do in preparation for me. It doesn't matter, though. I'm going to be prepared for the best Frank Mir, and he's still going to be big, whether he's 240 or 265.
His jiu jitsu is obviously the biggest threat, when it comes to his fights. It's not even that Frank is just a great jiu jitsu guy, he's also a great finisher. He broke Nogueira's arm. He broke Sylvia's arm. He KO'd Cheick Kongo. He's just a great finisher. My biggest thing is to not get in any position to give him a chance to use his finishing abilities, whether it be jiu jitsu or in the stand-up. I'm completely focused on every area of the fight.
I think, if I can get past Frank, I think my resume will kind of speak for itself. I don't know what they're thinking over at Zuffa, but when you put the guys that I've run through together, and what I've done since I've been with Strikeforce, I think if I can get past Frank, it warrants me being in the picture for a championship fight, just like everybody else. All the guys that went over as champions were in title fights pretty quick. Jake Shields only had to fight once to get the title shot against GSP, Alistair fought Brock to get the title shot before he tested positive, and Nick Diaz got an immediate title shot. I think that if they follow the way that it's been, and if I beat Frank, I should be in the conversation as soon as I get over there.
You can follow Daniel via his Twitter account, @DC_MMA

Yellowstone County Emergency and General Services officials say the ground and plants are still moist from the wet weather we've had.
As the temperatures get warmer, and grass grows, it's a good time to start preparing for fire season. The fire potential can increase depending on the kind of weather we get.
"We've seen in the past that can change just almost overnight," said Duane Winslow, director of Emergency and General Services. "You could get a couple weeks of 90 degree temperatures, those, especially the fine grasses, they dry out extremely quick. And they turn into tinder. They can catch the tiniest spark and can start a fire on those in a heart beat."
According to the National Interagency Fire Center, Montana was ranked sixth in the nation in 2013 for the number of wildfires. More than 17-hundred burned in the Treasure State.
"Really be aware that even though you may not think there's a lot of potential for fire, it's out there and as we get warmer it's going to continue to get worse and worse and worse," Winslow said.
Some tips for prevention: clear away brush around your home. Trim trees over your home. Keep fire fuel away from your home to keep it defensible.
Winslow says they're preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best. "It just all depends on what kind of precipitation we get from now on. The precipitation we've had up to this point is creating a lot of fuels and if we don't keep those fuels moist then we're going to have a big fire year."
He says the county has worked with firefighters all winter to prepare them.
Here's another tip for when you go camping or fishing. Put out fires completely before you leave them unattended because fire managers say they can be dangerous.

In all her years on Project Runway, Heidi Klum never had to deal with a contestant stealing her unmentionables.
But in her second season as a judge on America's Got Talent, the German supermodel finds that magicians have no such professional compunctions against underwear theft. In this exclusive clip from the show's upcoming ninth season, Klum gets some hands-on lessons about magic from a young AGT hopeful, who finds his new magician's assistant has a quicker wit than he might have expected.

America's Got Talent, and NBC's got Howard Stern – at least for one more season.
The shock jock, 59, confirmed Tuesday that he will return to the reality competition for his third season as a judge, though it may well be his last.
"It started out as a goof. Now it's becoming a job," Stern said on his SiriusXM radio show. "I am very excited to be going back to America's Got Talent. I will go back [for] one more season."

America had plenty to choose from Wednesday as the eighth season of America's Got Talent came to a close. But of course, only one performer could walk away with $1 million and the chance to headline a show in Las Vegas.
Whom did America choose? Read on to find out. (Warning: spoilers ahead.)

After the most entertaining season yet, America's Got Talent will name a winner on Wednesday. But which of the final six deserves to take home $1 million and get a show in Las Vegas? Will it be one of the singers, a comedian, a magician or the performer who defies description, Kenichi Ebina?

Loyal listeners tune in to Howard Stern's radio show knowing that anything can happen, but on Monday they got a surprise of a different kind – Stern's longtime sidekick Robin Quivers reveals that she's been fighting cancer for the past year.
In a frank discussion, Quivers, 61, explained why she's been absent from the studio (and broadcasting from home) since mid-2012. She revealed that she'd undergone surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment for a grapefruit-size tumor discovered in her uterus.
Quivers got emotional as she remembered the talk she had with Stern after getting the diagnosis – when doctors talked about "prolonging" her life, rather than "saving" it.

A series of statewide Department of Education community meetings took place Saturday to introduce the new school voucher program.
Saturday morning at the Alexandria Mall, state and school representatives were on hand to explain the program and the qualifications to parents interested in enrolling their children.
To be eligible, a student must be currently enrolled in a C, D or F-grade school and must meet income requirements.
The program gives students in those public schools the opportunity to transfer to certain private schools.
One local school, St. Francis Cabrini, has set a few dozen spots aside for students who want to make the jump.
"Cabrini school is currently accepting applications for kindergarten through 6th grade," said Joseph Wiederholt, principal. "We have opened 41 seats in our school for this program."
If you missed the meeting, more information can be found through the state's web site louisianaschools.net.

- Increase or decrease in acne
- Dizziness/Headaches
- Mood changes
- Loss of libido
- High blood pressure
- Breast tenderness

Note: This is a story I wrote recently for my blog: www.thedayjobber.com. Sorry about the length. But, hey, we should all have a little extra time on our hands after this Sunday. Hope you enjoy it.
Dear Erika, This is Why I Love Football
In the wake of the travesty that was the Tennessee Titan's 0-6 start to the 2009 season, my girlfriend asked me for the fifth time, "Why do you like football? I don't get it. Your team causes you nothing but pain. Here, give me the shotgun and the bottle of whiskey." The first thought that popped into my head was, "Aaaaagh!" But I love this woman, so I made an effort to put it into words. Again. I talked about the history of the game, the community of fans, my need for additional reasons to drink beer, etc. She was unimpressed. We agreed to disagree (in other words, I let her be wrong). But it occurred to me the other day that it goes a little deeper. So, dear, hear me out.
As you know, I have dreams. I have talent, too, but I don't know how much. I'm an actor, writer and scared shitless man-child scraping by in LA on hope and tips earned at a local seafood restaurant. Sometimes I wonder why I ever moved out to Los Angeles. Nothing I did before matters. No one knows who I am. The few chances I have gotten usually only make me doubt myself more. I was ready to admit I can't cut it out here, but then Vince Young shook off a 300-pound lineman and two years of doubt and negative expert analysis, threw a football through a wall and stood over the rubble with his head held high.
It was a Sunday afternoon in late November. Still wearing my waiter uniform, I made a beeline to the nearest sports bar. "Big Wangs," it's called. I guess they got big wangs. They definitely have a lot of flatscreen TVs. I ducked around drunken Forty-Niner, Jet, Raider and Steeler fans and found a stool facing the one TV in the joint tuned into the second half of the Titans vs. Cardinals game. Noone in LA is from LA, so Hollywood sports bars on a Sunday resemble the fanatic diversity of a Dick's Sporting Goods clearance bin. In an unrelated note, I've now referenced Wangs and Dicks in the same story, and this is only the second paragraph - and I've giggled each time - I told you I was a man-child. Where were we?
I took on the hunkered-down posture of a guy alone at a sports bar, clicking through the stats on my phone in an attempt to catch up on what I had missed so far. There was an obnoxious group of Eagles fans just to my right. In the pantheon of sports bar fan groups few are more loathsome than Eagles fans. They are loud, uneducated, rude and wear it as a badge of courage that they are reviled for being assholes the world over. In fact, their obnoxiousness is eclipsed only by your average Jets fan. Take your Eagles fan, knock off about twenty-five IQ points, add a faded Pennington jersey and a do-rag, and you get your basic Jets fan. This current group of Iggles fans, however, were really feeling it today. And they had a "Woo!" guy in their midst. Every time the Iggles got so much as a first down, the entire bar would be shaken with a shrill, ear-piercing "Woo!" I spilled my Budweiser at least twice. But I didn't dare make eye contact. It is dangerous, perhaps even suicidal, to engage an Iggle fan when he has a ten point lead and a belly full of beer. So I kept to myself and watched Chris Johnson take off down the left sideline for an eighty-five yard touchdown: 13-3. "Woo!" I hollered in my native Tennessee twang before I could stop myself. Now everyone knew there was a Titan fan in their midst. You can take the flame-head out of Nashville, but you can't take the Nashville out of the flame-head. I overheard a few guys talking about the impact of CJ's latest record breaking run on their fantasy teams. I smiled to myself. "You can have him on all your fantasy teams," I thought. "But he's on my real team." Unfortunately, so were the members of the Titans' special teams defense: 13-10. By the way, who the hell is LaRod Stephens-Howling? Before I can look him up, Leinart finally puts together a sustained drive and before I know it, we're down 17-13. No more "woo's" from me. I'm starting to get nervous. I've destroyed the cocktail napkin in front of me. I keep checking and rechecking my phone for facebook comments, emails, anything to distract me from curling up into a catatonic ball.
Then the Britt fumble. Vince, unlike me, is looking unflappable. There are only five minutes left, but he's calm, focused, delivering the ball on time. When he threw the deep ball to the rookie, I stood up out of my stool and raised my arms in the air. As Britt was scrambling up to run, I was already thinking, "But maybe we're leaving too much time for the Cardinals to come back." Then the strip by Rodgers-Cromartie. I was getting very tired of Cardinals players with hyphens in their last name. My heart sank. I've seen this movie before, but usually the bad guy is played by a guy in a purple jersey. Another key fumble to cap off a drive. Damn. Another game where we dominate in every category except turnovers, penalties and final score. Dang. Another long night on the message boards ranting, consoling and second guessing. Dang, crap, sumbitch.
But then something happened. The much maligned man-child with unlimited potential jogged out to the one-yard line, tightened his chinstrap and smiled. He knew something none of us knew yet. He knew this was his moment, the moment he had always known would come, even when he couldn't imagine how. 2:37 on the clock. Ninety-nine yards to go. A field goal won't do. You know what happened. Vince Young converted three fourth downs and used eighteen plays to march the Titans to victory, connecting with the rookie as time expired on a ten-yard touchdown throw. I stood for the entire drive, using the stool only as a stress-squeezer. I wavered back and forth between euphoria and despair at least ten times. Fans from other games started to drift over. Just before the first fourth down conversion, I formed a temporary but vital bond with a stranger after he said with complete confidence, "Vince has got this shit, man." I gave him a fist bump. By the end of the drive I was practically hugging him. When Vince found Britt and Britt found sweet redemption, the whole bar erupted. For a brief moment, everybody's second favorite team was the Titans. The Eagles fan let forth a mighty "Woo!" I might as well of been in the middle of the Wildhorse Saloon on 2nd Avenue. Vince Young became an NFL quarterback right in front of everybody's eyes, and they knew it. He knew it, too, ninety-nine yards and two minutes and thirty-seven seconds ago.
I may never become a star in Hollywood. And I feel more like an undrafted free agent trying to make the practice squad than I do a former Rose Bowl champion overcoming his demons. But I feel a connection to Vince Young, and he gives me hope. He's so human and yet so special at the same time. I think that's why the other fans turn to watch. We all have a destiny. We all have talent. We all have potential, and, yes, we all have doubts and fears. We want Vince to succeed because we see a little of ourselves in him. And on November 29th, 2009, my dear, he reminded me of why I love the game.

Let's continue to throw USC under the bus, er...ah, stolen car
Another irrelevant story has surfaced in the college basketball world, resulting in more defamation to the Southern Cal basketball program. This time, it's a 35 year old, former Trojan Stais Boseman allegedly hijacking a car. Gotta love college hoops stories in June.

Eskenazi Health Center and Local Community Team Up to Offer Free Health Screenings
"My stay was perfect. I wouldn't tell anyone to go any other place."
A tumor was discovered in my brain in January 2010. The brain tumor caused memory loss that affected my job performance, and by March 2010, I had lost my job and had no insurance. As the tumor grew in size, it further impaired my memory and speech and had to be removed. When I found out I had to have brain surgery, the doctor explained everything thoroughly. During my stay in the hospital, the staff was always responsive and did everything to make me comfortable. I was treated great as a patient. You get the best care at Wishard.
"The care I have received at Wishard has really made a difference."
I had recently relocated to Indiana and needed my blood pressure medicine, but it was just too expensive. After learning about the Wishard Advantage program, I talked to a financial representative and received the prescription I needed that same day. A patient navigator from Wishard's Blackburn Health Center also connected me to a physician that following week. The care I have received at Wishard has really made a difference. I look forward to going to my appointments at Blackburn Health Center. It's convenient to my home, I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and I have been very satisfied with my treatment.
"Wishard is a great hospital. Why wouldn't I come here? This is the place to get the best care."
I first came to Wishard in 1977 to give birth to my son. In September 2009, during the week of my birthday, I was diagnosed with an incurable but treatable form of breast cancer. I now attend the Infusion Clinic for weekly infusion treatments. I feel better, I feel safe, I look forward to coming here. When I'm sitting here I'm the safest that I feel any other time of the week. We're like a big family. I've become friends with other patients and looks forward to cheering up those who are in the waiting room.
"Without Wishard, I wouldn't be here. They gave me my life back."
In 2006, I was diagnosed with colon cancer and Wishard has been amazing every step of the way. Within weeks, I began treatment that included a total of three surgeries. I am now cancer-free and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Wishard. From the front desk to the surgeons, I was treated with respect, compassion and kindness. The quality of care is amazing. During treatment, the staff was sensitive to my needs and never made me feel uncomfortable. I love being a part of a teaching hospital.
"I like the treatment I've received here. I was tremendously impressed."
After I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus – a condition where fluid builds up in the brain – I had a shunt installed to drain the excess fluid. Although my condition improved after this procedure, my doctor referred me to the Fit program at Wishard because I was having trouble with my balance and was falling two to three times per day. I now attend physical therapy sessions two days per week, and as a result, now, I only fall once a week. I like the treatment I've received here. I was tremendously impressed.
"The staff has always been nice, pleasant and caring. I even have friends who use Wishard now."
I was referred to Dr. George at Wishard for an ostomy reversal in 2009. I've had wonderful treatment – from the doctors, to tests, to everything else at Wishard. I now attend Wishard's North Arlington Health Center for subsequent treatment as it is closer to my home. Whether at the main hospital or the community health center, the staff has always been nice, pleasant and caring. I even have friends who use Wishard now.

World War I:
Weaponry, Tactics, and Propaganda
When a whirlwind series of events brought the continent of Europe to a condition of total war in the late Summer and Fall of 1914 hundreds of thousands of men marched off in grandiose parades with the age-old hope that they would be home by Christmas. They couldn't have been more wrong! With the widespread use of weapons of mass destruction like the rapid-fire machine gun and heavy artillery, the war in Western Europe quickly bogged down in a horribly bloody stalemate that would last four years. Soldiers on both sides were forced to seek refuge underground in elaborate systems of trenches. Neither side - the Allied Powers of France, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, and others, or the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire - could gain an advantage over the other, despite enormous casualties. Each side tried desperately to gain the upper hand, sometimes introducing terrible new weapons like poison gas, submarines, airplanes, and tanks, often to no avail. And it was left to the civilian governments to come up with methods of communication - propaganda - to encourage their citizenry to keep up the fight. It was only with the development of new tactics that enabled the commanding officers and soldiers to use these new weapons in such a way as to overcome the stalemate of the Western Front and to force the Central Powers to seek an armistice with the Allies. On November 11, 1918, after four frightfully deadly years that would cause the millions of men lost in battle to become known as The Lost Generation, the soon-to-be misnamed "War to End All Wars" was finally over.
In this web quest you and two team members will be responsible for investigating and reporting on the weaponry, tactics, and propaganda of the Great War.
Although all wars are by definition violent and bloody, the Great War was particularly so. Why was that the case? Did it have to be that way? What was it about that conflict that caused so much death and destruction?
• use the power of the Internet for advanced investigation of World War I.
• learn information about three key aspects - weapons, tactics, and propaganda - of this conflict.
• realize complex topics can be looked at from various perspectives.
• plan and create a newspaper retrospective that details aspects of World War I.
• work with your teammates to problem-solve the cooperative task of creating your team's newspaper.
• develop an interest in the study the United States as a member of the world community.
The time period is early 1919. Our community, like many around the nation and world, is trying to make sense of the recent carnage that took place mostly on the battlefields of Europe. In light of that effort, the local newspaper has assigned several teams of three freelance reporters to investigate why the Great War was so deadly and how the various governments involved convinced their citizens to participate in such a bloody conflict. You, along with three other researchers, have been assigned to create a newspaper retrospective as an EXTRA COMMEMORATIVE EDITION. This newspaper will present your team's combined answer to the Quest(ion).
Although all wars are violent and bloody, World War I was particularly so. Those in control of the military forces on both sides had not perfected tactics that would overcome terrible new killing machines. The result was a stalemate where neither side could gain an advantage over the other for four long years. The governments of those nations at war had to convince their citizens that it was in their interest to continue the fight in face of terrible loss of life. It was only with the development of new tactics that the long, bloody stalemate was broken, and the end of the war was in sight.
The first step in this process is for each member of your three member reporting team to become an expert in one aspect of the war. You will then bring your newly found expertise back to share with your team. The last step in the process will be to create your extra commemorative edition newspaper retrospective of the Great War.
Step 1: Investigating Different Aspects of World War I
Based upon three different aspects of World War I, choose which area/aspect on which you would like to become expert. The questions following each area/aspect may help you decide.
Area/Aspect: Weapons
Question(s): What was it about these weapons that caused so much death and destruction? What new weapons were introduced during this conflict?
Area/Aspect: Tactics
Question(s): It is often said that military forces train for the previous war and are therefore unprepared to fight the current conflict. That was certainly true at the beginning of World War I. Why did it take so long for those in command to realize that old tactics would not work against these newer weapons? What new tactics were developed to overcome the stalemate of trench warfare?
Area/Aspect: Propaganda
Question(s): What is propaganda and how is it used? How were the various governments able to convince their citizens that they should take their part in the war efforts?
Once all members of your team have decided on an area to research, head to the Resources area to begin this part of your task. When you have finished with this task, please return to this page.
Step 2: Sharing Your Expertise
Your task is now to share your new-found expertise with all members of your group. You are to listen carefully to each others' presentations and to take Research Notes on each expert's information they are presenting to you. At the end of this task, your whole group will be fully informed about the weapons, tactics, and propaganda of World War I. It is then time to move on to the third and final task.
Step 3: Putting It All Together
This third and final task is put your new-found knowledge together in an extra commemorative newspaper retrospective edition. You are to include information and visuals about the three areas /aspects of the war that all of you researched. Your group must work cooperatively to produce your newspaper. To help guide you in completing your newspaper, you may want to check Writing News Stories. Once your newspaper is complete, your group will present your work to the class. Your group will be graded both on the quality of your newspaper and your collaborative efforts as a member of your reporting team. You may check out the Newspaper Assignment to see what is expected of you.
Good luck! Our newspaper publisher and local community are counting on you!

It's clear, the world is full of complex topics that need sharp-thinking people to understand them and make decisions. There is a saying, "Knowledge is Power." Through your team's activities, you've learned strategies for analyzing complex topics, formulating action plans, and working together toward effective compromise solutions. We hope you feel this new power that you've gained. What will you do with it?

Timothy Werbrich
Werbrich's winning project, "Leasure's Math POWER Band Program", is for the students in grades two through five at Leasure Elementary, to be motivated to become more proficient in math and ultimately more successful in the classroom and on achievement tests. POWER stands for Practicing Operations With Effective Results and takes students through numbers and operations, algebraic reasoning, measurement, data and geometry. POWER gel bands are given at each level of mastery, starting with brown, then onto yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, red and then finally black. Depending on the quality of the score on the worksheets, an associated POWER gel band will be awarded. The overall project will help students learn the mathematics in the State of Delaware's Common Core Standards achievement test at their particular grade level. Students have also shown excitement about the challenge, working the problems, earning the POWER bands, and being recognized in the "Wall of Fame" if they earn the top black band. Werbrich lives in Newark.

Campus Strictness:
The school does not offer on dorm-rooms for students, instead we have off campus apartments. The rules that students must adhere to are the same as the rest of the town, so as long as students are a law abiding citizens, no problems should arise that will affect academic or social aspects of a student's life.
Campus Strictness:
Don't Ask, Don't Tell – On campus, alcohol is forbidden and strictly enforced. However, off campus, they're pretty lax about it. It's pretty much do whatever you want off campus, but when you step on school grounds you need to at least act sober.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- The Minnesota State Patrol says a tire problem apparently caused a truck to hit a pickup near Duluth, killing its two occupants.
The patrol says the accident happened on Highway 194 Tuesday afternoon. The truck hauling well-drilling equipment veered into the path of the oncoming pickup and crashed, causing a fire.
The Duluth News Tribune says a 46-year-old from Floodwood and a 29-year-old from Cloquet were killed. The truck driver was injured and taken to a hospital in Duluth.
