[NU Sports] Big Ten today ...

[Sportsbiz]

I don't know about the fanbase, but the writers are giving RichRod no slack
at all.  The Detroit papers have been after his scalp for the last couple of
weeks after giving him a pass for the first few weeks.  It's more than just
the defense, they believe that the team is sloppy and has given up on ol
Rodriguez.  Don't know how true that is, I've only seen them play once on TV
and that was early in the year - but it wouldn't surprise me.
