Birthday E-Cake is the New Birthday Cake
(Only somewhat thread worthy but in an otherwise sad day of UM family some fun stuff)
One day it will be quaint when ALL of the NCAA coaches send birthday e-cakes to prospective recruits but for now it appears to be a Michigan thing. A week after sending one to LB Jones, DT target Jodan Elliott gets an e-cake.
Notice the subtle background poster which is the one showing half of Harbaugh's Stanford 'croots got a shot in the NFL.
Also notice Habaugh trying to blow out candles that are not even lit. That's called competing people.

Won't let me post the 2 individual photos separately but Jim is trying to blow out unlit candles in the closeup!

The cake appears to be Texas with elephantiasis. Maybe not go to Kroger next time, I mean with the recruiting budget UM has, we could be the only football program with a full time pastry chef

Looks like it's actually made of cupcakes and they tried to make it look like Texas.
Definitely looks homemade. I'm imagining Harbaugh got home last night and went, "shit, I forgot about Jordan Elliot's birthday. Sarah! Anything you can do?" Still pretty bad. 2/10.

They just saw Harbaugh and voluntarily went out.

Recruiting is so weird.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:56 PM ^
That's basically my take away as well. Either that or I'm just old.

Well, to recruit effectively, you need to relate to the young people. That means you have to get "Jiggy" with things, and LOL a lot. Whenever you do something stupid, you have to say "YOLO" and if anyone calls you on it, you say "Whatevs!" That's what I think, anyway.

As a millennial, I think this strategy in recruiting is a bit ground breaking on Harbaughs part. My generation is extremely into themselves and need to feel individually special.
Only a matter of time till other schools follow suit.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:28 PM ^
What happens to the actual cake?! Does Harbaugh devour it with enthusiasm unknown to mankind with whole milk?

would be asking what it was and I was thinking very bad Texas or I was missing something. Even Kroger usually does better than that but it is a Ohio based company. Hmmmm
My other theory was that Jay couldn't wait for the cake to be frosted.

they must have farmed out the geography research to Ben Carson's staff.
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:40 PM ^
the staff is really showing the recruits whom they want or their birthday's are at a convenient time, I know nothing.

Birthday e-cakes tast like computer monitor. Ugggghhhhh.
November 24th, 2015 at 12:41 AM ^
That's kind of embarrassing if that's supposed to be Texas. Looks like they had one of the kids from Master Chef Junior make this.

Elliot is interested in the philosophy of geography. The cake is meant to represent the artificiality and abstract nature of political borders.
November 24th, 2015 at 10:18 AM ^
Methinks they should have done a little more research...
Hey, it's the the thought that counts, right?
November 24th, 2015 at 11:13 AM ^
This is definitely a candidate for cakewrecks.
November 24th, 2015 at 10:51 AM ^
It's not state of the art recruiting until they start sending cakes to the recruit's relatives
November 24th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
When it comes to recruiting, Harbaugh doesn't care about state borders.
November 24th, 2015 at 11:14 AM ^
The reason the shape is so off is because it's a cupcake-cake. There's only so much you can do to make Texas out of a bunch of little circles.
November 24th, 2015 at 12:14 PM ^
Looks like a disfigured Africa or something haha
