Kyle Dodson To Wisconsin
Kyle Dodson commits to Wisconsin the day after receiving an OSU offer. Ohio State fans were expecting him to commit to them tonight, so this was an unpleasant surpise for them.
Poor cooler poopers. Hope they've still got some natty light on hand.
Hey man, leave Natty Light outta this
My bad brah.
Its alright. I lived on that stuff in college.
What ever happened to Mad Dog 20/20? Do people still drink that stuff? I unfortunately lived on it during my freshman year back in 1993. No wonder my grades suffered. Yikes.
MD 20/20 is still out there. I bought some at Sgt. Pepper's last fall when I needed something cheap, and it tasted like wood. I drank it anyway. ONWARD!
I'm a member over on bucknuts and I was definitely turned away from some of the people on there. wishing injury tons kid by will never know or ever meet just for the fact that he spurned their team? pretty pathetic. a lot of the fans just seem to be in a cloudy haze and just want to place blame on anyone but themselves. they just seem completely lost in their own lives that they have to be internet tough guys all of a sudden. I find myself posting less and less on the front row because I just want to bash my head in because of the content of the threads.
Back in junior year in H.S. one of these:
and one of theses:
20 years later i'm still not right. I grew up a little after that and my pallet matured so we all started drinking malt liquer in college.
I made that exact same transition. Memories of Canada trips under the influence of Mad Dog have been forever burned into my brain. I think I rode back across the border in a trunk with an unknown girl one night . . . I suspect the Border Patrol would not find that funny these days. Good times.
No way. I think they will need to get truckloads of Four Loko, often called "blackout in a can," delivered to their party stores. Maybe they should all drink a couple cans a day for the next five years, and then they might wake up to a decent team again.
I mean, I wanted him at UM, but I'd rather him at Wisco than OSU.
Watch me regret this in 4 years when OSU is 6-6 and we play Wisconsin in the B1G Champ Game.
this is probably bad for Michigan because Wisconsin is such an OL factory and they're putting together a huge OL class, but....
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It's not bad for us at all. Not only are we not in the same division as Wisconsin, we aren't even playing them for four years, unless we happen to meet in the BTCG. Basically, it's like we're not even conference rivals until 2015. (I hate that that's the case, but given that it is, losing a guy to UW is no biggie.)
It's actually a good thing, most likely. They don't play us for a while, but they do play some of the teams from our division, and they will play OSU every year.
So we don't play them until Dodson will be making the biggest impact?
There are no guarantees he'll ever make an impact. Even if he does, by the time that happens, we'll have plenty of guys available to line up opposite him at DE.
Good news. Would have loved him to be Blue but this is better than OSU for sure.

Glad he didn't go to OSU, but sad that he stayed in conference. I think UM doesn't play Wisconsin again for a while (4 years?), so we may not face him more than once.
That is funny, though. I know OSU fans felt he was "theirs" as soon as he got offered. Nice dash of cold reality for Buckeye fans re: what this scandal is doing to their recruiting efforts.
unbelievably hilarious.
For those who don't follow recruiting that closely, everyone has been saying he's been waiting on an OSU offer for like 6 months now. He finally got the offer today, and immediately announced he was going to commit, which made people draw the obvious conclusion. To commit to Wisconsin after all that is just unbelievably hilarious.
He was they'res or theres
He was "thars".
Not a good start for Fickell's new "toughness" paradigm.
Hopefully, it's just the beginning of disappointment in Columbus.
Did he commit to Wisconsin or Glee?
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
I'm guessing all the nonsense at OSU had an effect on Dodson's choice.
Wisconsin only has 5 recruits, but they're slowly putting together a very strong recruiting class. OSU will really have their work cut out for them in the B1G East for at least a few years.
I felt like they'd been stuck on those initial 4 for months
That's a complete shocker. I thought that the general consensus was that he was just waiting for an OSU offer before committing and then to commit to another B10 school the day after receiving that offer.... Was that some type of f-u to OSU for holding off on offering him?
lulz
Would have liked him to go blue but I appreciate the humour in this. Dodson is officially the second casualty of Tresselgate joining Tom Strobel.
As long as he ends up anywhere but OSU I am happy. The more damage to OSU's recruting the better. It's about time they get what they deserve.
They deserve a 10 year bowl ban but won't get it. Punish for as many years as they caught cheating. It's the only way to make the point that cheating isn't worth it.
We don't want OSU to be permanently crippled. That would seriously downgrade the rivalry, which is an important selling point for us. We should just want them to be knocked down a peg or two in the short term so we can beat them.
I'd be fine with them being crippled for a decade or two. The rivalry's been around for what, a hundred years or so, and it'll be around for much, much longer. It'll withstand Ohio getting a thorough beating from the NCAA.
Back to the topic though--well played, young man. Well played.
I agree with you. I just think it's an extremely sticky situation for the NCAA. If they are only punished 2-4 years for 10(?) years of cheating, doesn't that make it seem like cheating is worth it? Not to mention the bowl appearance for every one of those years, a NCAA ship, and millions of dollars in revenue. It's difficult to come up with a punishment.
Does UM get a 2-3 year bowl for RR' s extra practical cheating. Has UM been found guilty of cheating by the NCAA?
Why is this troll still here? Every single comment he makes qualifies as "trolling" or "flamebait".
Bucknut fans must be in hysterics...I had a conversation today where they were SO HAPPY Dodson was going to commit to them this week.
Hineygate must be in meltdown.
Definitely a shocker and a nasty surprise for Ohio. But for us, remember this: We don't play Wisconsin for the next four years unless it's the B1G championship game.
If they didn't think this would hurt recruiting, this should seal the deal. Wow is all I can say.
All the OSU pundits were reporting that he was going to the Buckeyes. This is a shocker.
Anyone that says that Michigan wasn't in it for Dodson is wrong. The coaches really wanted him. I'm not sure how solid he is, but there's a long way until February.
Tom - would Michigan have taken Dodson's commitment today?
was OSU even in it for Dodson?
We were led to believe yes. They just offered him and then Dodson announces he's ready to decide. Common thinking was that the OSU caused the decision for the Buckeyes. But he decided to go to Wisco.
In other words... he waits until OSU offers before going to the only team that beat them this season. Recruiting drama.
I would've loved to get a commitment from Dodson. At least OSU didn't get him.
My new acronym for the day? ABOSU, as in "Anywhere But Ohio State University".
I agree, we want to gobble up every good lineman in the midwest, but we can't get them all.
Boy, the Bucks must be livid right now. I am gonna have to go to 11 Worriers and check.
On Wisconsin ! Enjoy some of those cheese curds for me, big fella . . . .
