Everybody's favorite ESPN personality with a voice too deep for his body, Ivan Maisel, had a nice little piece recently on the immediate effects that new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez has had -- namely, a renovated workout facility/program.

Quite frankly, as a Buckeye, I have to say I am not impressed.  Although the remodeled weight room is undoubtedly more modern than what the team had to work with in the Carr days, it still has a ways to go to match the state-of-the-art Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Yeah, it's alright, I guess

On a serious note, maybe a more valid explanation for that team up north's recent embarrassments had much more to do with the lack of a modern training program and less to do with "outdated" or predictable playcalling?
