Hold the Rope

HT to MGoBlog poster BlueinDC for pointing out this pretty cool official White House image of President Obama walking out of the Michigan Stadium locker room, presumably headed to give his Commencement address.

Regardless of your politics, it is pretty cool to have the sitting President of the United States come to your school. The image makes an interesting wallpaper also.

I agree having Obama in this picture is kind of cool, but what is up with the "hold the rope" thing??? I never saw that before and it sounds like a Rich Rod thing. Does anyone know for sure?

RichRod has a "drop the soap" one - not sure where this came from. Probably David Brandon.

Phew, I thought sru was gone for good.

GBB: The "hold the rope" thing is a Rich Rodriguez thing. He brought it over from WVU and has used it for years as a "team building" theme.

Here is a YouTube clip of the celebration after the 2006 Sugar Bowl. During the last couple seconds of the video you hear the players yelling "hold the rope".

Of course, since it is a RR thing, I am sure many of the "real michigan men" out there will immediately hate it.

"Don't drop the soap" is over Maurice Clarett's cell door.
