Does that mean you loan Terrelle Pryor cars?

It's close to the beach and Cleveland, the HS football culture is unbelievable, and there are good places to shop and eat in the area. (I've been to the area a lot to visit people.)

Don't you all think it's a little early to claim victory? I mean really. One player does not make a "trend." It's still going to take Hoke a few years to turn that mess around in A^2. I understand your enthusiasm though.

Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that "we are holding our position." We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose!

Can someone tell me what other top flight DE/DT prospects we're in on? I've heard we're only taking 4 d-lineman and we've already taken 3 now, with only 1 being a DT. Can someone enlighten me?
Anyhow, welcome to Michigan Tom. Great choice.

from his interview with Tom:
from his interview with Tom:
TOM: What about any of the coaches? I know they're new to Michigan, but did you know anything about them?
STROBEL: I knew that Mattison had been at Baltimore, but it shows that he's going to be there and he's not going anywhere if he came from the pros. I don't want to be switching coaches constantly, so it makes a difference for a coach to be there the whole time.
Looks like OSU definitely took a hit when Tressel left and the future of the program is such an unknown.
Q: Why did the (Ohio) State grad leave his diploma on his dashboard? A: So he could use handicapped parking.
Woo!
