While reading a wonderful book on the Edmund Fitzgerald titled The Gales of November, written by renowned sports author and former Detroit News sports feature writer John Bacon, I was gobsmacked by a literary David Aldridge moment.

Go read, go read Three and Out: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football.
Seth ShanerHOST
Great book written by John U. Bacon about- They didn't even allow him to make the changes he wanted to make and do, do things the way he wanted to.
Brian InglisHOST
Yeah.
Seth ShanerHOST
Now, you could argue it was too big of a change for that program that Rich Rod wanted to, wanted to do things, and I thought Rich Rod was kind of a, a crybaby several times as he left West Virginia and went to Michigan.
