Armani Reeves Update (Good News Again)

bitching. Certainly not about recruiting threads, at any rate.
January 25th, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
All we're saying is that it clutters the board...every time someone tweets about Armani Reeves and give an update it is not "new thread worthy"...if that's the case then the entire front page is going to read:
Armani Reeves Update
Armani Reeves Update (Good Info)
Armani Reeves Update (Gooder Info)
Armani Reeves Update (Goodest Info)
Armani Reeves Update (Goodest Info AGAIN)
Armani Reeves Update (Goodest Info of ALL!)
...point is, none of it is groundbreaking. It's a tweet. No one is saying people aren't interested or it shouldn't be posted/reported/shared. But this is the third thread of its kinda and two of them or twitter opinions from recruiting analysts.
Put it this way, if you have to put "UPDATE" it's not real news...if you can just say "Armani Reeves drops Ohio" it shouldn't need "UPDATE" behind it...because it's worth a thread of it's own.
I'm not playing thread police, but that's just common sense stuff. I couldn't care less if EVERY thread on the front page was about Signing Day and the recruits...but at least make the topics worthwhile.

I understand what your saying but evry thread I go.into expecting to hear peoples thoughts on that topic and half or more than half of the posts are people arguing whether the thread was worthy enough. Let's talk about Michigan football because arguing whether a thread is worthy enough is an opinion and is cluttering the thread with bs which is what your complaining about in the first place. It's pointless, if you don't like it click out, that's what I do, it takes 2 seconds.

You have recycled your defense for your opinion more times than updates that your bitching about. I dont need to read your arguement more than once. It is doesnt deserve a new comment. It's not groundbreaking. Maybe if you were rehashing 48% of your comments I could see it deserving a new comment. But not 52% bro... Only women nag till they get their way... Sorry uncalled for. But seriously.. Take a breather
January 25th, 2012 at 11:50 AM ^
If you just joined in 2011 and haven't lerked for a while, this is going to happen till signing day.
January 25th, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
This is nothing new to me...it's going to be a mad house on here, scout, rivals, espn, 247 and every other site out there.
However, the way other boards are set up...you can pin news to the top and view more threads on the front page.
I think a big reason why people re-post threads on this board is because the same thread on the same topic has moved to the 2nd page.
But in the past 24 hours we had "Armani Reeves Update," "Armani Reeves Update (Good News," and "Armani Reeves Update (Good News Again)"
To me, that is excessive...especially when there has been NO real news or updates. It would be one thing if he dropped OSU or said he was announcing at 7pm on Friday. But all we're getting is twitter opinion from random people.
I just think there's a difference between excitement the week before Signing Day and excessive threads everytime someone has an opinion.
January 25th, 2012 at 1:56 PM ^
Site Search should be everyone's friend.
(Its at the top right of the front page (under Beveled Guilt) for those that don't know.)
January 25th, 2012 at 11:00 AM ^
Who's the "source"? Armani has already said he's not going to do anymore interviews until he chooses, so who's the one going behind his back? And who comes up with a 52/48 percentage?
January 25th, 2012 at 11:03 AM ^
Excellent point. It would have been 51/49 but apparently Meyer had an unfortunate post-burrito moment during the discussion.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:04 AM ^
I think we get the extra two for home field advantage? Like Vegas right?
January 25th, 2012 at 11:01 AM ^
needs to keep both fanbases involved for as long as possible.
Worked on me
January 25th, 2012 at 11:05 AM ^
Is that Cam Williams is going to be a wolverine! Amirite?
January 25th, 2012 at 11:06 AM ^
devolved rather quickly...
January 25th, 2012 at 11:20 AM ^
I am going home for the day.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:23 AM ^
A 52-48 over OSU still isn't all that reassuring, Farrell. In that case its still essentially a push.
I know Mattison's going to blow this kid away, and Armani has to know that Mattison gives him the best chance to get to the NFL, but playing with your friend is a big draw too. This could go either way at this point.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:31 AM ^
The percentages are a swag by some insider. He's basically saying Armani is slightly leaning to UM, which is great news. He has to decided on one school, so I could care less if its 50.0001% for the good guys in the end.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:26 AM ^
Can we make an Armani Reeves drinking thread, or should we at least wait til Noon?
January 25th, 2012 at 11:32 AM ^
I'm getting excited for Josh Garnett's decision tomorrow. Hopefully Reeves realizes he could be a special corner for GMatt.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:36 AM ^
Why are readers so anal about grammar on this blog? What difference does it make?
January 25th, 2012 at 11:37 AM ^
We need more Linguistics majors and less English majors around here.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:56 AM ^
We need *fewer* English majors.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself.
January 25th, 2012 at 12:01 PM ^
Go fuck a Cow you damn grammar nazi
January 25th, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
Yeah, thats how you talk to a mod.
January 25th, 2012 at 2:06 PM ^
Take this month-long vacation in Bolivia to reflect on your recent MGoExistence, determine the reason you've been communicating like a MLive-er recently, and change before you come back home. There's no reason to comment the way you have been recently. This is Michigan fergodsakes!
January 25th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
Yes, I suppose "English majors" is a count noun and not a mass noun. My fault.
January 25th, 2012 at 1:23 PM ^
Like I said, I couldn't help myself. Apparently someone took it personally; I haven't been called a cow-f*cking Nazi in quite a while.
January 25th, 2012 at 1:48 PM ^
I think that's redundant anyway. It's a well known fact that all Nazis are zoophiliacs.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:53 AM ^
Because this place isn't garbage like a lot of the other blogs out there. And this is a Michigan blog. And Michigan and its fans should have a higher standard.
<br>
<br>And this is America, man! Come on!
January 25th, 2012 at 12:15 PM ^
if the content of the posts improved. the amount of posts and replies here that contain totally unfounded statements is rather large. most recent example from someone in Mitch McGary post yesterday: "centers can't handle the ball or shoot beyond 7 feet"
January 25th, 2012 at 1:07 PM ^
I think I once heard something about a Michigan difference.
January 25th, 2012 at 2:09 PM ^
It's The Michigan Difference.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:37 AM ^
This was the same guy yesterday:
January 25th, 2012 at 11:45 AM ^
Michigan and Ohio State have a combined 26 four/five star recruits. Rest of B1G has 20 total
January 25th, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
Interesting
January 25th, 2012 at 11:59 AM ^
Order has been restored. Especially since we're better than Ohio, just like we have been throughout all history minus one decade.
January 25th, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
We were better then, too... however, we just wanted to let them win a few to keep it interesting. Now they've let it go to their collective (empty) heads, so it's time to squash 'em.
Go blue! Beat 'em all!
January 25th, 2012 at 11:51 AM ^
Anyone feel like he has a raging boner for OSU? Always talks OSU recruits stuff more than other schools
January 25th, 2012 at 11:59 AM ^
for taking their time with a decision. At the same time, I'm just not going to get worked up over it. Call me when you make up your mind, and try to remember that this is real, it isn't a video game. If the delay and feeding the speculation is a negotiating tactic, I wish you luck - elsewhere.
January 25th, 2012 at 12:04 PM ^
You sound very bothered.
January 25th, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
The entertainment value is grand. Note that I haven't started a single thread beginning with "is there any news", nor have I felt the slightest need to do so.
January 25th, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
Is this your first time out amongst us common folk?
January 25th, 2012 at 12:16 PM ^
...Urban Meyer. Is he ready to return to spending time with his family yet? Seriously - I'm worried about his health and his ability to watch his children grow up (Sarcasm Font).
January 25th, 2012 at 12:24 PM ^
January 25th, 2012 at 12:41 PM ^
Ohio fans seem to think it's 54-37 in their favor.
January 25th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
Lol Now that's funny!
<br>
January 25th, 2012 at 1:13 PM ^
LOL Now that's funny!
January 25th, 2012 at 4:01 PM ^
That's weird, I was almost certain it was 40-34.
January 25th, 2012 at 12:44 PM ^
This isn't news good or otherwise.
