OK, I'll say it...I miss the Original CC Mike Rutherford. You know, the shy and retiring, I'm gonna be a lawyer (not a web blogger), can't really look anyone in the eye without doing the Andy Griffith..."Aww shucks", Mike.

I had the opportunity to meet said Mike on two occassions, when he was normal and not riding in SBNation Limo's, with girls hanging out of the sunroof, etc. etc.

He used to give wild, witty, and need I say it, long-winded, in-depth analysis of the pre-game, post-game, and past game along with insightful prognistication of the up-coming game. Now we are treated to snippets and quick-hitters. It's almost like Mike is "mailing it in". Ok, bring it on...I just speaking truth to power!

I must say that this is not meant to insult or slight CardFan922, Rickmbari, Austin, or any other poster, especially Mike.

This is my expression of a desire for the "old" Mike.
