Taybor Pepper to MSU (walk on for us)
Per @AllenTrieu now former Michigan walk-on long snapper Taybor Pepper has accepted a full scholarship to Michigan State.
LoL yea I saw that thread. Hes a 5 star, a flip, and someone even asks if he can throw. I never knew snappers were allowed to throw. Those people over there dont know much outside of their trailer park.

Most of the posts you're referring to are seemingly jokes. Additionally, there are multiple posters who are not actual Spartan fans.

but is Taybor the 160-175 pound long snapper? I honestly can't remember if he is the same one I was thinking of.
Anyway, good for him and his parents, that they don't have to pay his tuition and housing..that should save them quite a bit of money. On the other hand, his parents will have to buy him a new couch after every Saturday, so financially it could be a wash.

His parents no longer have to pay for school and he still gets to play big time football. Even if he never sees the field, that is more than 90% of us can say.

Happy he gets to go to school paid for, but sucks it's for MSU. I remember when he committed, the kid was really gifted as a long snapper and I was happy to get someone like him and as a walk on it was even better. I figured he'd earn a scholarship after a year or 2, but who can blame him for taking it right now at a B1G school.
Good luck Taybor, he's going to be a good and reliable player, just hope he forgets his craft 1 Saturday a year.

Definitely good for him.
Lol for Dantonio and the RCMB, though.

I had no idea what the RCMB was, so I checked it out ... blech, man. Just blech. Too many threads with vulgar/classless titles, not enough football, too much random crap about how somebody's roommate fired a 12-gauge through the roof. I try so hard to not generalize about Sparty, but ... why do they have to make it so difficult??? Don't fall into the rage, Wisconsin Wolverine. Keep it together, man.
You were better off not knowing.

The Mark Dantonio page apparently is no longer on meme generator. If it were, I'd make one that says:
Hoke taking all the Linebackers.... I'll take all the long snappers.

Lets not make fun of him gents. If someone gets a full ride rather than be a walk-on, good for him. Its a crap-load of money he and his parents are saving.
If u want the Dantonio memegen link, its here. I know, I made it. Search for "dontonio"

Excellent to get a mole planted deep into their team. Let's see if a snap ever reaches a State punter when we play.

Hey Berkley Edwards, can you long snap??
good for the kid, sucks a bit for us, quality walkons are like free money, but thats one less scholy for sparty at a position that makes a bigger overall diference to the team than a career special teams kid.
Good for him. Seriously. That's great.
