Josh Helmholdt: Big News For a Pair of B1G Teams Tomorrow
Rivals.com Midwestern recruiting expert Josh Helmholdt just had a TomVH level cryptic tweet go out;
Josh Helmholdt @JoshHelmholdt
Hearing there could be some big news for a pair of #B1G teams tomorrow...
He then also tweeted saying it was good news.
If the mods feel like this is too vague to be worthy of a thread, go ahead and delete, but considering all the recruiting buzz around us recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with Michigan.
And even if it's not and has to nothing to do with Michigan, I think anything dealing with big news regarding B1G teams should be of interest to us.
I believe Silas Redd's decision is expected tomorrow.
since when is u$c our rival? and how many times are you going to use that mlive comment? does it really bother you that much that he typed a $? get over yourself.
Pretty sure he is referring to people using the dollar sign for OSU, not USC. He's saying it isnt funny when people on here use it on Ohio State, and it isn't funny when people use it for Southern Cal.
And no, it isn't funny. It's WAY over used, and uncreative.
FWIW, "he" is actually a she. Just saying.
"Ohio" is not an insult. It's what that school calls itself in all of its cheers/band formations, etc.
Conversely, I have never seen USC refer to itself as "U$C" in any kind of a cheer.
is a good screen name
No U$C, M$U, or MT$U.
It's just a rule.
If in reference to the Pony Express/CJK5H days... sure, what the hell. Go nuts.
love it :)
Yep. "OHIO" Stadium, Script "OHIO", the crowd screams "OH - IO", and I'm pretty sure that thing they do where four people spell out a name...I think it spells "OHIO" but I'll have to double check.
Tell me again why Ohio fans are angry we call them "OHIO"?
Alma mater is "Carmen Ohio"
They even call themselves Ohio State.
Oh . . . wait.
Fight the team across the field
Show them Ohio's here
(We've got the team why don't we)
Set the Earth reverberating
With a mighty cheer
RAH! RAH! RAH!
Hit them hard and see how they fall
Never let that team get the ball
Hail! Hail! The gang's all here
So let's win that old conference now!
(So let's beat that Michigan now!)
(Oh, Ohio! Oh, Ohio! Wahoo! Wahoo for Ohio!)
That fight song is awful.
I like it. And I like MSU's and Notre Dame's too. All are classic College fight songs. Just because they are rivals does not mean that you can't give credit where it is due.
USC's (or should i say U$C? lol) has the best in CFB
Whateva! I do what I want! snaps fingers.
Also, it is very MLive, and used to be grounds for an exile to oblivion per the words of Brian. I think he might be kind of a big shot on this here blog.
from his FAQ http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/mgoboard-faq
How can I avoid downvotes?
Don't be redundant. Don't use stupid nicknames like O$U. Spell things correctly. Don't post useless replies like "I agree" and whatnot.
Sorry. Mom.
Your response clearly indicates that you do care what he thinks. /confused
Given that USC hardly considers itself our rival, it's more on par with Illinois fans calling us "scUM."
I'd say that there's a rivalry between OSU, UM, seperately and USC. The Rose Bowl implications are strongest with the B1G blue bloods, and the best traditional power in the PAC 10, to the point where any time the teams recruit head to head AND have a chance of playing each other annually, there exists a rivalry.
I'm guessing you probably don't remember us consistently getting crushed by USC in the Rose Bowl. I'm guessing the same goes for all those people who are hoping Redd goes to USC. Why would you want Redd to go to USC, when there is a slight chance we play USC this year, and zero chance we play PSU?
How is it any different than the RCMB ANC scUM?
Maybe next year, but we don't play Penn State this year.
If he decided to stay, that would be good news for Penn State, a Big Ten school, no?
Just so we're clear about this I have no issue with you using the $ in USC. I'm an SC grad. I think it's pretty trite and childish, but I don't care. I would rather Redd end up at SC and not stay at PSU for purely selfish reasons.
However, you probably shouldn't play the martyr role when in the MGoBoard FAQ Brian specifically says not to use "stupid nicknames like O$U." Message boards by their nature can devolve into a cess pit pretty quickly so by self policing things like this MGoBoard actually remains fun to read and a place for people to come without feeling like they are dealing with a bunch of hateful, ignorant 12 year olds.
If you are an M fan who happens to enjoy such a den of iniquity though I submit for your approval http://www.mlive.com/
I feel like it has nothing to do with Michigan. Green and 'Treadwell are still taking visits I thought and McQuay I think is delaying his decision, even though we were out of it as of recently.
Coach Urbs and his shenanigans. Probably flipped a couple of poor souls
I immediately thought a transfer from PSU to another B1G school until he said good news.
Umm, why would it have anything to do with that? The NCAA hasn't ever gone back on punishments like that (that I know of), and certainly they would have no reason to do it now.
I haven't heard of any appeals either.
He's just tweeted again and said that the news has to do with recruiting. Given that he has described the news as being: (a) good; (b) big; and (c) about recruiting, it's not a stretch to think that Michigan is one of the teams that could be involved.
While Green, McQuay and Treadwell don't seem to be imminent, it could be a 2014 guy like Ferns.
I'm calling it right now, we get McQuay. He's been told that if he commits to us he has to do it soon, and since that he's been going back and forth on making a quick decision. I think that's more than coincedence. I think he's given it a bit more thought, decided he wants to go to Michigan, and therefore decided to commit tomorrow (as he's been pushed to make a quick decision). I could also see a guy like Ferns, but that's my guess.
