At the Michigan football team's annual banquet, Rich Rodriguez had a lot to say.

In large part, writes the Detroit News' Angelique S. Chengelis, "Rodriguez reiterated what he said after the Wolverines' 37-7 loss to Ohio State last Saturday, that the 'worst is behind' the Wolverines."

Chengelis adds, "Rodriguez said what he has said for weeks, that he believes in the direction of the program," before quoting the current Michigan coach: "Our time is coming, and it's coming in a big way," Rodriguez said. "We'll let people jump on the bandwagon."

Kaleb: You need to correct the title of this article. The dinner was not a banquet. It was a FOOTBALL BUST.
