...but it also says this: On Topic: - Anything [University of] Michigan sports related Clearly former Michigan players in the pros, in the private sector, fighting cancer, etc. are "Michigan sports related." The fact is that there are hundreds of threads on this here board that involve former players and the vast majority are not listed as OT or Semi-OT. So, given the ambiguity that exists in the MGoBoard FAQs, it's clear that the MGoBlogerati have spoken and the On Topic interpretation is the one that's in effect.

I'm with MGoShoe on this one - there is a big difference between "NFC Championship open thread" or "Who should be NFL MVP this year" and "Brandon Graham taken #13 overall by the Eagles." All of those threads are about pro sports, yes? But two of them are focused on the NFL (but may contain posts about former M players, if applicable) and one is focsued on a former M player in the NFL. This post most certainly fits the latter description. Under your argument, the posts about Manny Harris or DWarren leaving early for their respective drafts would have to be OT as well, and I think we all agree that that's not the case. In fact, under your argument, any posts including USC football should also be OT (ZING!).

He could be a very good special teams player and possibly get a few carries/catches in certain situations this season or in the future. His lack of balance and tackle breaking ability makes me (and most others) believe he will never be an every down back, but he could be a specialty back and I'm sure can do well in punt/kick coverage

Undrafted to the NFL champs. That's a great turn of events for Carlos. I just hope he doesn't sprain his elbow signing the contract.
