Michigan Coach Rich Rodriguez Recalls His First Trip To Ohio State

"I saw a couple of elderly women, probably in their late 60s, give us the middle finger salute. But I said, heck, I'd seen that before. Playing in Pitt (with rival West Virginia) we saw whole families of them doing that. That wasn't anything different than what we've seen.
