Sam Webb-

said to look for a tweet from Ferns around 2 or 3 I believe.  He hinted that it has to do with Ferns recruiting hard for this class.  Maybe a visit set up by a stud, hard to imagine that Ferns would be announing a commitment......

I would love to see Damon Webb has de-committed!

Why would-

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.

Seriously.

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

Maybe mid-terms are coming out. Maybe another kid is coming on "super visit weekend," Maybe mom made pizza rolls, Maybe the McRib is coming back for a month.

Let's just wait until there's actually something more than a tweet before we start making "watch" threads.

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...

Yeah....

...because never voicing disapproval makes perfect sense on a blog site that is largely self policed in regards to what type of content is tolerable.

FTR, the OP does not bother me, but telling people not to comment if they don't like a topic is an over used (and not well thought out) response. 

If people disagree with the response, moderation will provide adequate warning.

Moderation will probably provide too much warning

Too much well thought out dissent gets moderated out as flamebait, trolling, off topic or redundant

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

I hope it's this.

It would be like getting a 5* QB commit for 2014 (albeit, a one-and-done).  It would go along nicely with the one-and-done OL 5* we just got for 2013.

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.

Some stuff needs to be corrected here...
  1. That thread was started after one had already gone 170+ comments and needed to get taken down. What the Pope does has virtually no bearing on the purpose of the site, and stuff got way out of hand in the first thread. BiSB and his opinions on MGoBoard having nice things may never be more applicable than the first OP and many of the comments.
  2. I did not (and cannot) disable any user functionality. Here's a link if you would like to neg the post, since there seems to be some confusion on your end.

Okay, I'll admit when I'm wrong.

I thought I was on the site the whole day when your second post (which I thought was the first) popped up. Apparently it got bumped to the second page before I started lurking.

All I saw was your second post and thought you tried to hedge a bad post from ever popping up on a really off topic subject.

I now look like an ass, but I do apologize.

 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

My brother and I have a theory

That McDonald's made every MdRib they sell back in the 80's and they have to ration them out so they can only bring them "back" for short periods at a time.   So I hope you like you "meat" extra aged because each McRib has about 30 years of aging on it.

The McRib's appearance is

The McRib's appearance is based entirely on the prices of pork in the U.S.  I'm not sure of the exact number, but when pork is sufficiently cheap, the McRib makes a comeback and when prices rise again, it is taken off the menu.  Simple, really, and fascinating. 

Quite the McRib lover myself.

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?

Why would a recruit be announcing a new facility? Seems unlikely.

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

Could it be the announcement of another home night game?  Is ND confirmed for 2013?  Maybe it would be the UTL game for 2014?

Okay OP. Let's play a game. I'm going to tell you that you are going to be horribly disappointed with a 90% chance of being correct.

Please let me know how you feel after the announcement comes out. Thanks.

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'?

Over hyped IMO

Why would Brandon or Hoke let Ferns (just a verbal commit) make a big announcement about UM football?

Just expect Ferns to say something like he and Wilton are creating an annual recruiting comp between O and D with the 1st commits as "captains". Fits with Shane and Dymonte pursuing kids last year.

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.

Two points

"Something like" refers to a concept and not an exact approach. Restated conceptually: some unofficial designation of roles/awards for each class.

Second, do you have a guess?

I have no guess. I'm just waiting to see what it is. I was just saying that the concept you were suggesting isn't newsworthy in my opinion and from what we've heard it's pretty cool (not amazing by most accounts but at least worth a small announcement). For the record, I didn't tag your comment as flamebait. I don't know why anyone would think it was.

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.

I am letting it roll.  The gif is sarcasm, a favorite source of humor of mine, and the response to the other guy was to let him know I'm fine with it and that I was just voicing frustration.  If I really was being defensive, my response would have been a lot longer and more involved, but I'm just making a statement here.  It really isn't a big deal. 

See?  Now you've got me waxing poetic about it when I really didn't want to.  I realize that going on and on and on doesn't improve things.  But when someone tells me to "relax" is the precise time that I am not relaxed.  So...yeah.

I'm sorry, but I just don't

I'm sorry, but I just don't see a kid who has yet to sign a letter of intent or is not yet in any way officially affiliated with the University of Michigan making any sort of announcement concering UM facilities, game schedules, or any matters that you would generally hear about from DB or Hoke directly.

In all likelihood, it probably has to do with with having a recruits/commits only get together later on in the process.

Berger

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.

I thought Berger had an OSU offer

And those other guys too? So, what do you know about who is the top of OSU's board right now? Is this Urban Meyer on mgoblog???

Kyle Berger definitely has an OSU offer and some who claim to have solid sources claim that Berger is 100% OSU. 

I was simply pointing out that OSU is also hard after 3 other LBs who recruiting services currently have much higher. Ohio State fans seem to place them in the order of McMillan, Garrett, Booker, Berger, but some say that Berger may be higher than Booker because Booker may grow into a DE. But hey, Berger seems to not have gotten much of a look from recruiting sites yet so who knows where he will end up.

I was just observing that OSU has a smaller class next year and was wondering if something  could change with Berger if OSU manged to get McMillan, Garrett, and Booker.

Technically, yes he does. He would though have to convince the NCAA to sign a waiver disregarding his pro athletic career and any income that he might have had because of his athletic ability. Also, since his 5 year window has closed he would have to receive an extension to that. Hey, the way the NCAA is operating, anything's possible.

Ferns said on twitter it has nothing to do with jerseys or the big house, he also stated if you get #project135 trending in twitter he will give a hint, if not 5 or 6. I think this ways blown way out of proportion, it looks nothing more then a recruiting tool. hope it works

announcement supposed to occur around 3 today? Where is the big news?

If Ferns is up to 6'3 and 240 with top-tier speed at LB, that's better news than 95% of the guesses in this thread.

Just because people have offered to buy them doesn't mean he'll go for it.  I'm guessing he has gone over this with the coaches, or the coaches have reached out to him about it.  I agree with you that if he turned it into a business there would be an issue, but if he gives them away to fans randomly there shouldn't be an issue.

True

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.
