5 Star RB Leonard Fournette to officially visit Michigan ($)
Per Rivals$
It looks like our coaching staff, with the help of Peppers, was able to convince the best running back in the nation and top player overall to some sites to use an official to visit in the fall. The general consesus is that this is an LSU and Alabama fight for the New Orleans native, but with the extremely positive trend we've been seeing in recruiting and how great our campus visits have been, anything is possible once you get a player on campus.
C'mon bro, you're better than that...
You know, TheGhostOfYost, there is the odd trolling comment and then there is the conscious, concerted effort to troll virtually everyone and everything in a thread. I am not sure what you thought this would accomplish, but this sort of mean-spirited quibbling has to cease. For now, however, I've subtracted the square of your points from your total - for the time being, they'll return about a half hour before kickoff for the CMU game.
EDIT: As a reply to below, suffice to say that this will not be a problem for a while. I have also removed most of the more egregious stuff.
Great, you took away his imaginary points. Does it stop him from replying to a thread? If not, what was the point?
This way TGOY gets a chance to reform his behavior, and in the mean time whenever his fantastically negative point total shows up it will be like Johnny Got His Gun for trolling.
It's pretty much just the one guy and everyone else mocking him. We're doing ok. Although this thread probably won't go in the MGoBoard Hall of Fame
Well the one guy is a troll and disruptor.
: -7276506?? Am I reading that right? What do you have to do to be shown the door?So it looks like Ghost of Yost should probably avoid posting while drinking in the future.
Five Star Mafia!
Still, this coaching staff has shown the ability to put in some serious work once they get a kid on campus. As long as he actually comes up for the visit, I suppose anything can happen.
This is awesome news! Looking forward to his visit reaction interview already, and no, not in the creepy albeit in jest comments made by some already.
Let me know if this is a recruiting violation.
It might be. But one things for sure. It's super creepy.
(Seeing as us pigs understand things "clear as mud", I must admit that I do not see an official visit set up for this fall. It seems more clear, however, that Fournette is highly entertaining the idea)
please stop.
Has any school ever landed the #1, #2, and #3 recruits in the nation?
Ok ok too soon. Sue me...
I seriously went through this whole thread to see if TheGhostofYost had one post that wasn't -1...here I am posting at the end of the thread, so I found my answer.
This is awesome.
I went to bed early, what'd I miss?
This just goes to show how good of recruiters the players are and how big Twitter can be as a recruiting tool. I still remember the day Jabrill & Ferns first tweeted him about the possibility. Even if he never commits this is a positive trend for us
Well TGOY...we tried to talk a little sense in you. Lucky for you my man, the weather's not that bad in Bolivia during this time of year...
I just love the momentum we have going on right now. We have to win the big 10 this year.
he might conclude that MGoBlog is a secret front for NAMBLA.
to just have a mod lock the thread and leave the original post up for the info. I'm not sure a single other informative post can be found in here
delete all the comments.
Fournette does look like a hell of a back. It'd be a minor miracle if he leaves SEC country, IMHO.
It's not used nearly often enough around here. Sometimes blood needs to flow freely in the gutter to get things back into normalcy, or at least what passes for it on MGoBlog.
i be like... DANG
Wise decision from our overlords
Well, it looks like TheGhostofYost was not only negged to Bolivia, but also got the banhammer...
I'm gonna reallllly go out on the limb here and assume the banhammer is not something I want to be mentioned in the same sentence with
Thank the old mods and the new.
I am building a monument dedicated to this comment at the entrance to the Modswood near my modest keep as tribute. This comment won my corner of the internets just now.
Now you know it's an awesome thread, we have a Game of Thrones tie in
...at least we won't have to deal with all of the negativity during football and basketball games...
"Borges should be fired..." (after the first punt of the season)
"Hoke should be fired!" (if we're tied or trailing at the end of any first quarter)
"Green is overrated..." (after the first run for no gain)
"Put in Morris and move Devin back to WR..." (after the first incompletion)
"Mattison should retire..." (after the first TD allowed)
The sad part is, I wish I could put a (/sarcasm) after that post...but it's 100% accurate.
It looks like he already has...
