MCGUFFIE NOT TRANSFERRING! (Update: no, nevermind, transferring)

a friend who's girlfriend's brother's best friend's mom is sleeping with Sam Mcguffie's Dad's boss. He said Sam is going to Hawaii

Yeah, that's not a great source. Great chance that not everyone on the football team knows yet, or is willing to let out that they know.

talked to McG himself (e.g. secondhand account rather than third-hand), color me skeptical.

and ask him if everything is okay with him...

I'll let you guys know what I find out after he talks with him

You don't have to be a dick I don't have to share this info with you... fucking asshole

Seriously. And I hope you're right. But.

At the moment, on the one side, there is Brian, who is almost always right, has better access to the M program than just about any of us, and probably wouldn't post it if he didn't think it was accurate, as he has a reputation to uphold.

On the other side there is, you - no offense, again - the guy on the message board.

I hope to high heaven you're right because I thought - and think - Sam is on track to be a HUGE part of the offense, maybe as soon as next year. And if you are right, by all means shout it from the rooftops.

Til I hear otherwise, though, I'm going with the authority on this one.

Guys, Scout is actually agreeing with Bouje right now, FWIW.

4 other sources have texted him back and have said that he is gone....

*sigh*

I just hope all this extra attention surrounding him doesn't push him over the edge to transferring. He's a self-admitted introvert and didn't like all the attention he was getting. If he knows every thought and possible action he makes will be examined to such detail, he may just decide its not worth and transfer. Hopefully not though, he is one helluva exciting player to watch.

-Bend It Like Gingell

i will breathe a huge sigh of relief. here's hoping

I know you guys read a lot of things, and hear rumors, but trust that Brian nor I would post anything without doing the right research. I have sources that are very very reliable, and have always been right. So when we post something please trust that. I'm not saying you have to believe us, but posting the opposite without knowing the truth does more damage, and starts more rumors. So, I appreciate your level of fanhood, and wanting him to stay, but be patient.

can someone get on flight tracker and confirm this?

FTR: updated the thread title because it is now not actually what the contents of the thread indicate.

Where there's smoke there's fire, and where there's conflicting reports, the safest bet is usually to lean on the side of "he's gone." It always seems to work that way.

This person I know that lives within the same 10-mile radius of McGuffie's dorm told me that he hasn't heard anything about the transfer, but he will ask his neighbors and friends.

Oh wait, that person is me. Nevmind.

Just keep in mind that he could change his mind. I'm sure his parents and the coaches will talk to him about this. I can't stress this enough. Sam has told them he wants to transfer, and it doesn't look good, but we will keep you updated on the final decision.

i personally don't think it's a big deal. dude is physically small, period. he also always seems to be a magnet for huge hits. i like the guy, his heart and his spirit. i really hope he sticks around, but i don't think it's a huge loss to the program. he may be better off in the Mountain West conference, or big east, somewhere where the hits may not come so fast and furious. i'm constantly worried for the guy that he is about to get exploded into little pieces.

Where is he transfering to and why?

Sam is a good kid (emphasis on kid). The university, not just the football program, is better off for having a student like Sam on campus. Should Sam choose to leave Michigan, he will be missed. He has a lot to deal with right now and it may be taking a big emotional toll on him. Maybe he is making some rash decisions because he is finding things hard to deal with. We should all cut him some slack and wish him well in dealing with these hard times.

I have a cousin who went to grade school with a lady who is a beautician in the beauty shop where Sam's Aunt Tillie gets her hair done and she said that one of the girls in the beauty shop overheard Tillie saying that Sam was thinking about transferring to Hawaii.
