Check out RBR on Twitter

by outsidethesidelines on Aug 29, 2009 9:48 PM CDT

As most of you probably know, RBR can also be found on Twitter. We've had the Twitter account up for a few months now, and we do have a lot of followers. However, up until now there really hasn't been a whole lot of unique activity on our Twitter page, and it has really just served to distribute links for the various articles, fanshots, etc. that we post on the front page at RBR.

I've decided to change that, though. From here on out, I'll be regularly updating the RBR Twitter page with random updates and blurbs about the comings and goings with the Tide. I always have little one-liners that never becomes enough for a full-blown post on RBR itself, so in the past they have just gone unmentioned. With a medium like Twitter, though, it gives you the perfect opportunity to dissiminate tidbits just like that, and that is what I plan on doing from now on. Links to the various updates we have here at RBR can still be found on the Twitter page, but if you go there from now on you'll find a lot more unique, substantive content as well.

Either click here for the direct link, or just type twitter.com/rollbamaroll into the address bar of your browser.

Oh man...

….Cook is going to have a hell of a time coming up with a way to shift that much negative attention to Saban. This should be a fun week.

we all know that big ten schools never do anything shady with the rules like the evil sec schools do.

Actually,

he’s already breaking out the “it was all voluntary” defense.

Grr,

I love how...

…when Saban oversigns, which is a widely accepted practice that “everybody” does and is not a violation of NCAA Rules, he’s an evil bastard, yet when DickRod is violating NCAA rules to such an excessive degree that his players are blabbing to the media about it “everybody does it and its just DickRod dragging the Wolverines into the 21st century.”

The thing that gets me...

is that Brian shoves this under the rug:

“It was mandatory,” one player said. “They’d tell you it wasn’t, but it really was. If you didn’t show up, there was punishment. I just felt for the guys that did miss a workout and had to go through the personal hell they would go through.”

by saying "What qualifies as a “punishment” in a regularly scheduled S&C workout is unknown. Working out harder?"

The entire crux of the problem here is that these players are suggesting that “voluntary” workouts are actually mandatory. And if there is a punishment for not participating in voluntary activities then it is most certainly mandatory. If these activities are mandatory then it clearly puts Michigan in violation of “blah blah blah subsection D above,” as our blue and gold brother so eloquently puts it.

The thing that gets me is not that Brian is going to bat for his team. We would too. The thing that gets me is that when allegations are leveled at Bama we take the time to study the issue and provide a clear, coherent response (see OTS’s wonderfully lucid resbuttal during the whole “snake-oil salesman” thing). When someone levels allegations at Michigan, all we get from Brian is:

This will be the last time I comment on this because "whatever"...

…but its the fact that Cook is so eager to look past anything that completely disproves his point no matter how glaringly obvious it may be to anyone else is what made his crusade against Saban so infuriating and makes this just laughable. Honestly, I could care less if anything ever comes of this for Michigan, and nothing probably will. I’m sure that DickRod and his staff have figured out every conceivable angle to cover their asses over it, and that’s fine. What I find to be most valuable in all of this is the continuing revelations of DickRod’s character and his win at any costs attitude, coupled with the fact that Cook is so completely willing to rationalize any and all unsavory aspects away in the name of “MICHIGAN,” while everyone else is a filthy cheater that deserves nothing but scorn.
