Big Michigan Football Surprise Open Thread

And it has sharks with fricken' laser beams attached to their heads!

It's been confirmed by multiple outlets that it's not a commitment or a visit.

 not sure of his schedule, but how about governmentclass , math class or basketball practice

brady hoke- "kids need to be kids"

Michael Ferns, a HS JR, be the one to announce that facilites are being updated?  That would be great.  Facilities are great recruiting tools.  However, it would be odd for Ferns to be the one to make this kind of announcement. 

It's not just Ferns who tweeted this.  Some people like the speculation and the anticipation of such news.  It's the off-season so get over it and maybe not read it. No need to comment on what you approve or disapprove of...

I think "something more" was when Tremendous said "it's not a commitment but it's still pretty sweet though."

This post isn't that bad.

It could be worse, like...oh I don't know. Starting a thread about the pope stepping down, locking the thread from all comments before anyone could comment, and saying "i'm just trying to get ahead of the inevitable" and then when it gets downvoted to hell removing the upvote/downvote function from it.

Just saying.

When...????

 McRib is coming back?!?!  Sweet! That is great news, can’t believe McD’s holds them hostage as they do. Bringing them back only when they need to increase sales numbers. What month?     /s

More than a tweet. It's a hashtag.

Maybe another kid is coming on "super visit weekend"

...still, the pizza rolls would've been an awesome choice as well.

"We can't start a thread just because a recruit or commit says "something big is going to happen.""

Isn't that EXACTLY what fanbase message boards are for?  Speculation and discussion as to what the current team/staff/players/school is excited about doing?

Ferns is coming to M to play LB and be an Assistant Athletic Director?  By all accounts he's a very smart dude......

Hey everyone, I totally know the secret but I'm not telling you.

That sounds like the 'let's see how fast you can clean your room well' game I used to play with my kids when they were younger.

Effective, but the final result was 'that's a game'?

/I like it

Nah man. I read on the Twitters that Gruden has property in Rome.

That's MSU's new recruit.  He had to hitch a ride on the meteor to get here for spring practice.

Neg him! Neg him to Bolivia!!!

I doubt that. I don't think they would really only recruit kids on their side to win that and they wouldn't turn away kids on the other side to keep their lead, so it'd be a worthless competition. That's hardly newsworthy anyways.

yeah!

1). Not Notre Dame.

2). Not Notre Dame.

I think they already have Michigan cups. 

Your post was fine - you clearly labeled what it was about, so if anyone was uninterested, they didn't have to click.  Those that did, and then posted, essentially are saying nothing more than:  This is a stupid topic and wasted my valuable time.  My time is so valuable that I come on a sports blog in the morning, click on threads that absolutely do not interest me, and then take more of my valuable time to comment on how I don't like the thread, or perhaps even try to post a comical reference that is so clever that only 4 other posters made the same joke.

Personally, I would take this topic over some of the random OT threads.

You didn't explain what you were talking about.  Not everyone follows Michael Ferns on Twitter.  Next time you should give a little more context about where the story is coming from.  "I'm excited about a big surprise" isn't very informative.

"funny" for your knitting comment.  Does that help??

It's a major award!

Was the package in the shape of Urban Meyer's head?

Thanks for linking that article. It's a really great read

It actually causes the land mass supporting Cedar Point to shift into Michigan...leaving nobody any reason to ever visit Ohio again.

The Michigan scientists only told Trey Burke's family of their discovery.

wait....... WHAT?

Most seem to think Berger is all OSU. OSU is after much higher regarded (at least by rankings) LBs in McMillan from GA, Clifton Garrett, and Booker from OH. 

Maybe if Michigan gives a hard push and Berger doesn't like not being at the top of OSU's board, they could make up some ground.

Exactly, I think too much is being put into this.

john is a special teams guy..

I just dropped my phone from laughing so hard. Nice Christmas story reference.

Posts like this is why I can't wait for the old system to be reinstated. 5 does this no justice. Well played, well played.

Wait, doesn't he have a year of eligibility left?

He will also announce that opening for Tool will be Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. This would certainly be the best case scenario.

Full of win right here...

come from electricity.  Electricity powers lighbulbs.   Lighbulbs are screwed in with your hand.   Hand is the name of . . . 

I will never understand these types of post , Why tell us you know but won't share?? Are you craving attention? Want to be the in guy on the blog?

Nope. Nada. Zilch

Picture or I don't believe it

...it missed.

I'm pretty sure he said between 5 and 6.

It does show a true dedication to Michigan to go all in as to invest in shirts to give out to spread the word.  High character fellow, that guy.

A high school kid did not announce that the University of Michigan is dropping Addidas for Nike?

this is going to end poorly...there are already people tweeting him offering to buy one of the shirts. i dont think a recruit selling shirts to fans will fly with the ncaa.

Agreed.  Love how our recruits go out and recruit so hard. 

But still, Hoke should go out and recruit guys himself, if he doesn't already.

Campbell and Cole have both given him props for the shirts.  He even set aside a 2XL for Cole after telling him he would if he let him know his size.  Fun idea by Ferns.  He is going to fully enjoy his time building this class.
