Army All-American Bowl Pics
I've never posted any photos on this blog before, so sorry if this post is botched. I just wanted to share some of my pics from the game. Besides Kalis, I wasn't overly impressed by the Michigan recruits. They did not perform poorly, just didn't do anything of significant note. Pipkens made a couple good plays, and got by Kalis one time putting pressure on the quarterback, in their head-to-head. However, he looked like he'd take off a few plays now and again (it is an all-star game, so I don't put much stock in that). Kalis was solid the whole game. I was really impressed with his quick feet and pass blocking. He definitely stood amongst the five recruits. Pee Wee is quite the character - as you will see in a couple of the pics.

PeeWee looks like a baby monkey from a disney movie being fed in the last picture.
(Don't take it that way.)

doesn't that girl know those balance bands are fake.

She's got pretty good balance and control of that water bottle.
Placebo Effect ENGAGE.

anyone else see pipkens devour an ice cream cone in response to "what do you think of Ohio State?

I love Pipkens! Can't wait for his press conferences.

Lol honestly even if Ondre is a bust I love that guy. He's too funny and I'm a fan. I hope be blows up next year!

Thanks for the photos.
In an All-Star game, I think having guys not stand out for looking bad is a damn good statement. If you don't get noticably beat by the best of the best, you must be pretty damn good yourself.

January 8th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Yeah these are all-star teams, looking like you belong is perfect.
January 8th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
Wow! Those are great pictures. How did you get so close to the action?

of the restaurants that catered during bowl week. He had two field passes that he gave to me. It was pretty cool. Got to meet the guys. Pipkins is fricken hilarious. Mags said he feels very confident about Garnett, but its not 100% yet. I even meet Kalis's parents, who cried out GO BUCKS when they saw me approach their son w Michigan gear on. I was very impressed with Kyle Kalis - his game and his person. He is very polite, friendly, intelligent, and ALL IN FOR MICHIGAN!

that Kalis parents are NOT happy about his decision to attend M, but will not attempt to forbid him from it. Rumor has it they will come to his games, but wearing OSU gear.

Sounds like they should hang out with Landon Collins' mom.

Pretty sad when your parents are cheering against you. His face got red and I could tell he felt uncomfortable, so after I said "I can't wait to see your son putting Buckeye's on their back - I left it alone.

Well hopefully they at least root for him to pancake who ever he is blocking at the time if not then yes...pretty sad you cannot even cheer for your kid considering Ohio's fan base is probably what put him over the edge in his recruitment to begin with.

Good to hear about Darby, he was one of the best guys at the UA game.
January 8th, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
Does anyone else feel a littlein awe looking at the second pic and realizing that Kalis and Magnuson look freaking massive compared to everyone else (even Ondre)

Stefon Diggs's hair is sick. Too bad we aren't going to land that kid. Absolute beast.
