Dann O' Neill quits team
I'm sorry to be the first to break this news. But it's true.
Believe me, I wish it wasn't true. This sucks. I know him personally, and the truth will soon spread.
You'll hear about it soon enough.
From What I have heard, he quit because he is tired of football. Being here made him lose the love of the game.
A couple of his teammates said that he probably would rather lay around and play video games....probably the reason this happened in the first place.
Did he give a reason?
WTF!?!
I hope he left because he heard Seantrel is coming and would take any playing time he might get.
I remember him cause he played in my conference in HS and he beasted everybody. That's a disappointment...
he spells his name 'Dann' though, right?
Maybe he did it because he committed to UM under Carr thinking he would be the next Jake Long. After 2 years in the system he has realized that being a quick, mobile lineman doesn't translate to the NFL as well as playing in a prototypical offense. Along with that, he did not make any noise during the spring and doesn't seem to be coming along as expected...
one year. He's a redshirt freshman this year, right?
Yessir my mistake.
I would like a link please.
i have to say sadly that ive heard the same thing too... hes been gone since like early this week
Sorry, where was he expected to be on the depth chart this Fall?
This isn't meant to be sarcastic, I don't have the 2-deep memorized.
You would need to have more than the two-deep memorized to know where O'Neill is.
Wasn't someone joking about him leaving a couple weeks ago on this blog?
Still hope it's not true.
Pastor Paul was the preacher at my Lutheran preschool 20 odd years ago. Creepy.
Negative eleventythousandbillion to you sir.
That'll be bad press.
weird. i just saw him on campus 2 weeks ago. im going to ask my only hint of an inside source if this is true
I either hope this is not true or what sammylittle said he heard Sentrel was coming to AA and got scared. Still huge loss please don't transfer to tOSU not another one!!!!!!!!
i dont think that anyone would quit the team because they heard a senior in HS committed to the team that won't play for another year. also, the fact that it is advertised as quitting the team leads me to believe that he's probably not going to go to another big 6 school for football. obviously that is just rampant speculation though
Doubtfully but I can speculate can't I?
Believe me, my source is reliable....I don't want to reveal who though for their sake. (I realize I am pissing you off by saying this...)
Look, I love Michigan football, and I'm not a rumor-mongerer. I don't tell you this stuff for fun, or to stir up trouble. I actually WISH that I turn out to be wrong about this.
just out of curiosity, has your source ever made comments of what he expects the teams' performance/record to be next year?
determining causation here. The story of O'Neill's leaving the team had no traction until Mr. Tressel posted the story. It may be that Mr. Tressel's posting about O'Neill caused him to leave. If this is the case, he owes us and should be forced to post about an awesome recruit who will soon sign with UoM.
Was this one of the "couple" that RR was referring to when he said a couple more would leave?
Good luck to him in whatever he does from here though.
bullshit
Isn't this relatively common for O-lineman because of the demands put on them?
Schiafano[sic],Gallimore[sic?] and others left under Lloyd.

That thread reminds me...anyone know why Chitown peaced out of MgoBlog? Was it the anti WLA backlash stuff or did he get sick of the quality of comments and the board? I rather enjoyed most of his meanderings.
He did it because of you, Dad.
OK?
He learned it by watching you.
in related news, can someone explain why Dex has come back?
The board has been semi-reasonable lately, plus I don't think we bother to argue anything anymore. How I have so many posts though, I have no idea, but it was a slow week at work.
I personally suspect someone at Buckeye Capitalist Mercenaries has been posting under your name.
because i miss you and your crush on me
I'm sorry that I, and others, have done something bad enough to make you follow up every mention of our name with a snitty comment. I don't remember what I did, but sorry.
For your information, I am not, as you claim, a "12 year-old girl". While female, I turned 8 last month. Here's a picture:
It's your general "our opinion is better than yours" attitude and the fact that you refer to everyone here as MgoIdiots on your board. You have your own blog where you can pat eachother on the back for consistently insightful and correct comments, stick to it.
/shrug
It's typically, "our opinion has facts behind it does yours?" Plus, MgoIdiots is directed at idiots, not everyone. We also argue all the time, it's just nobody takes it personally because people can admit when they are wrong.
Some people (BRODIE) are giant cockbags way too often. But he's gone, and that's made things a lot nicer actually.
My Source comes from some guys on the team I know. this is no bull shit.
you will see that RR will announce it.
Then...do you have a reason?
Not surprised he is leaving our team. But, kind of surprised he is quitting football totally. Are you sure he is not transferring to a system that fits his skills more, instead of just totally quitting football?
Said he is lazy and plays video games a lot. I guess he didn't get the memo you actually have to workout in college.

regardless of whether or not this is true, I think it's pretty shitty of you to put it out there before the kid has a chance to.
Surprisingly, I don't have an opinion on this.
O'Neill leaving not just bad for TEAM but awful for PROGRAM, just epinion
I don't see how it is shitty of him to say it. When people get a tip on someone committing to UM or wherever no one says that it is super shitty of someone for saying they are blue. Eh, not that big of a deal.
Put yourself in O'Neill's shoes. Perhaps you might not want to whole world to know something about yourself and some douchenozzle with a whorish mouth blabs it to everyone.
hey buddy, its the internet. im sure mr o neill isnt kicking himself because mgoblog's mgoboard scooped the story on his alleged departure.
you're not the wla, stop acting like it.
It seems more like it's his opinion on the matter. That's it. Not to mention, a WLA member has already posted in this thread with a comment that does not conform with Chrisgo's. So to the extent that member represents the WLA (and it bears repeating that they do not act with a hivemind...most of the time), it would not seem that Chrisgo is acting like the WLA.
no sugarcoat.
He is sort-of a de facto contributor over there.
