What is important - recruiting or results?

By THE_KNOWLEDGE — June 14th, 2012 at 4:45 PM — 21 comments
Filed under:
  • THE KNOWLEDGE

.
THE KNOWLEDGE will soon be reviewing the 2012 Michigan football season results in a series of posts. This series will consist of two posts: one outlining the overall season results, and other documenting the out of conference results
.
as per usual, THE KNOWLEDGE will provide individual game pointers before each game to aid the seekers of the ultimate glory: the title of TOP FRIEND OF THE KNOWLEDGE, as THE CHALLENGE makes a successful return to these very pages
.
yes
.
in the meanwhile, THE KNOWLEDGE shall tackle the issue of recruiting in this post
.
the questions asked by many folks is: in the future, will Bo Scarbrough be in the Michigan back field along with Shane Morris, and behind the line of Cameron Robinson and Damian Prince?
.
many people also were chomping at the bits to coin the awful MIT pun ro refer to the trinity of the Morris-Isaac-Treadwell before the fact that Isaac will not attend Michigan was revealed as time moved from future to present
.
of course, these people are and were wrong
.
yes
.
on the other hand, many is the number of folks who have been dismayed at what they consider to be lackadaisical progress of Michigan's recruiting after the initial burst. these people see OSU and USC stock up on great talent while Michigan is signing long snappers
.
and these people are worried (rightfully, in their own minds) if Michigan's coaches can keep up with the Meyers and Kiffins of the world - failing to realize that keeping up with such experts of illegal tactics as Meyer is an extraordinary achievement
.
and these people are wrong as well
.
yes
.
so, where to turn for sanity?
.
to THE KNOWLEDGE of course. THE KNOWLEDGE has a long, illustrious and peerless history of revealing the future correctly even in the midst of highly irregular abnormalities of the spatio-temporal continuum
.
as a result, THE KNOWLEDGE has soared to great heights countless times leaving every doubter in a trail of dust
.
thus, THE KNOWLEDGE is the sole course of relieving people's anxieties about the future
.
those that follow THE KNOWLEDGE shall be worry free
.
yes
.
THE KNOWLEDGE has already revealed in these very pages that the 2012 recruit who will have the greatest success is the lowly rated Sione Houma
.
people that don't understand the future don't know this; hence, they are highly confused ans greatly stressed by such matters as recruiting
.
the only thing that matters is winning the games and winning with class and integrity; that is the end product all fans care about
.
since this result is already revealed by THE KNOWLEDGE at the beginning of each season, people should quit worrying about other things and focus only on THE KNOWLEDGE's revelations
.
yes
.
THE KNOWLEDGE shall soar and bask in glory as ever
.
yes
.
