Notebook: Rich Rodriguez's Monday morning press conference now in progress

This file will be updated throughout Rich Rodriguez's Monday morning press conference. Check back for frequent updates.

Tate Forcier on the podium now. Here's a snippet of what he had to say about being recruited at Michigan:

"I wasn't even going to look at Michigan until they got the new staff," Forcier said. "When I looked at the new coaching staff, I said, 'That's all me.'

"I'm not the biggest kid. I don't have the strongest arm. But I fit their system. And as long as I fit their system, I'm happy with it."

Piped-in music is a new game-day feature at Michigan Stadium. Rich Rodriguez said the athletic department has been working on that to improve the atmosphere. There's been a few complaints, but overall he's excited about it.

________

"Anytime there's change -- and we've had 18 months of it -- there's going to be some resistance and obstacles to covercome," Rodriguez said. "I've been more worried about first down and winning games, but the response from the fans has been, I think, generally positive.

"If you have suggestions for music -- clean music -- send it in."

If any readers here have suggestions for Michigan on stadium music, send 'em here and we'll forward them along.

Troy Woolfolk on Eastern Michigan coach Ron English, who recruited him to Michigan: "He's very intense. I get screamed at by a lot of coaches, but he was one coach, who when he screamed at you, you feared him and wanted to do better at the end of the day."

Safety Troy Woolfolk is at the podium now, cracking everybody up with a story about his dog, which apparently has a tendency to break his cell phones.

"I have a dog who likes to chew on everything, and when I chase him, he tends to throw it up in the air," Woolfolk said. "I got the dog and told it was a pure lab, but it stopped growing and it's only thisbig. I found out he's half-beagle. I'm kind of disappointed, but I still love him because he's my dog."

Asked if it looked awkward for a football player to walk such a small dog, Woolfolk joked: "Yeah, it hurts my pride. ... My ex-girlfriend got him for me about a year ago. That's why she's my ex now."

In an ideal word, Rich Rodriguez said he'd like to redshirt freshmen defensive backs Teric Jones and Justin Turner. In reality, the coach said he expects to use both at some point this season.

He said, in particular, that he'd like to get J.T. Floyd more time in the secondary rotation. ... Boubacar Cissoko is "banged up," according to Rodriguez, but expected to play Saturday against Eastern Michigan.

_________

Offensive lineman David Mooseman is questionable for Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan with a shoulder injury. He could miss one to two weeks.

_________

Charlie Weis had a lot to say about the officiating in Saturday's game. Rich Rodriguez agreed there were a few calls that raised his eyebrows, but overall said he thought the officiating was good Saturday.

"These guys are so fast and it happens so quick, sometimes the official just sees the end of it and throws the flag," Rodriguez said. "From Saturday, I didn't think there was anything that determined the game."

_________

Denard Robinson is staying at quarterback.

After some conjecture that the Michigan freshman's future might be at slot receiver or running back with Tate Forcier solidifying his grip on the starting QB job, Rich Rodriguez was steadfast in saying that Robinson's not moving anywhere.

"Denard Robinson is a quarterback, and he's going to play a big role for us at quarterback this year, and probably several years to come," Rodriguez said. "Tate had a head start because he was here earlier in the spring, but Denard has all the skill sets you need. He just needs to learn the offense."
