I was under the impression that Channing Stribbling was going to receive a considerable ratings bump? But if you go to this page on Rivals, he's still listed as a 2 star. There's an actual tweet by Mike Farrell indicating that he would receive a bump up from 2 stars.
Stribling will be higher than a two @culleradam: @rivalsmike Also there has to be no way Channing Stribling stays a 2 star, right?
The criticality of this post
Fair enough
Let's ask about rankings!
Yeah
It's an absolute insane world when people ask ranking questions on a blog that is primarily devoted to Michigan football.
LOL..
That is absolutely awesome.

is why actual voting needs to come back!

My first car was a '94 Ford
My first car was a '94 Ford Escort LX 2-door with a 5 speed. I called it the Racescort, because it was so fast. Obviously.
Whoa specs!!
0-60 in 11.1s
88hp @4400rpm

My first car was a Burgandy
My first car was a Burgandy 1968 Pontiac Catalina 4 Door with a 400 engine. I put air shocks, mag wheels, about 200 yards of white pinstriping on it and then flipped the air cleaner upside down to make it sound louder. Baaaaaadaaaaaas ride.
That car must've weighed close to 5,000 pounds.
88 horsepower? That might
88 horsepower? That might be, but when you're behind the wheel, you'd swear it's 90+.
My first car was/is a '99
My first car was/is a '99 Malibu with a tendency to overheat in the desert and while climbing steep grades, which is unfortunate, because I live in Utah.

You guys are lucky
Mine was a hand-me-down white chevrolet caprice estate station wagon with fake wood paneling.
The only positive was that I could fit 8 people in it for late-night rides into Philly for a Pat's run.
Third generation Michigan alum
My first car was a '91 Jeep Wrangler
2.5L 4Cyl and a 5 Speed.
126 HP (in 1991) at the redline of 5250RPM. 0-60 in 14 seconds (with a tail wind). My dad loved that it was so slow. Slowest 1st car on the board?
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
I doubt it....
I don't exactly recall all the specs of it, but I had a 78 volkswagon rabbit as my first car (in 1990 so it was a bit of an antique...lol). It was red and we called it the red baron and sliced a little line in the tint on the back windows when we would pass anyone to keep track off the poor suckers we shot down.
It was a great car for a 16 year old and my Dad only bought it for me so I wouldn't reck his vehicles so it was a win win for both of us. It was a 4 speed and once it got going it would go, but it was nothing special in that department. I still miss that old beast!
Yeah, sounds right
I got a '91 in 2003, so it was 12 years old too. It'd go 60, 65, and even 70 if the wind was right. Beyond that it got dicey though. The top and doors would billow and cross winds on the highway were harrowing.
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
But at least yours was a Rabbit
Mine was a '56 Beetle with a '64 engine that barely climbed the local eastern Ohio hills - sometimes felt like retrograde motion. Cost me $75 and worth every penny until I rolled it trying to do 360s around a sharp curve.
Mazda GLC wagon
Only car I know of to lose a drag race with the Chevette my buddy was stuck driving in HS. (Early 80's) It was not only slow, but a true chick magnet too. /s
In fairness to the car, it did get decent mileage which was nice for broke HS kids and it was very reliable (a plus for my parents).
go blue
Still Better Than Mine...
My first car was a "lightly used" 1991 Lumina coups - sky blue with grey cloth seats and black trim - which had the 3.1 L V6 and a 5-speed manual transmission on which only 4 of the speeds would not cause a stall. It was also obviously manufactured during the year-long experiment with no primer in the paint shop at the plant where it was made, so I only know it was sky blue from the paint that was left when I happened upon it.

Any comment that mentions Herm usually makes me smile but this one takes the cake. Tremendous!

Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
I had the reverse problem
You had a coupe that was slow as hell but looked like it was a little sporty and had some giddiyap.
My first car was an '89 LeSabre with the GM 3.7L V6 in it. With a blue vinyl top. Plush cloth interior. Not only did it LOOK like it was owned by my Grandmother. It actually was. But for being a Geriatric mobile, that thing could flat out move. I always wanted to get hold of a turbo and turn it into an after-market T-Type. Most of the engine was the same as in a Regal Grand National.
First car
was a 1964 brown and white Ramber Stationwagon. It was a real "Shaggin wagon" - unfortunately I had acne, bad teeth and about two dollars in my pocket. Needless to say it was too much car for me.

Also had a question about
Also had a question about Stribling. Obviously he's not a candidate to decommit or anything but is his committment so strong that no others schools have even bothered to offer? I just figured that since he blew up this summer/senior season, he would get some offers from atleast local schools (UNC, UT, UVA etc.). Just wondering what the deal is
Good question
I think it has to do with the fact that he is so solid with Michigan. The schools you mentioned aren't usually mentioned when you talk about schools that try to switch committed players. But, I am surprised that he hasn't gotten more offers.
I find it funny...
That only the post that actually have something to do with the OP are being marked as offtopic...lol. Isn't it ironic.Here's a plus 1 from me anyway.
Honestly
Can we stop downvoting people with honest questions about Stribling? No need to be a jerk, thanks.
