Double misleading title batman!
August 25th, 2011 at 11:51 AM ^
to make clear this is an "official visit" and not a committment.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
That will haunt my dreams.
August 25th, 2011 at 1:16 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 3:20 PM ^
Not sure yet, I'll let you know...
August 25th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
Pointing us to a good article with great news has to erase at least half the double fail, no? I'm just happy to see that the coaches are, in fact, interested in taking 2 d-line after all.
August 25th, 2011 at 1:04 PM ^
The double fail was for two reasons:
1. Posted two threads on the same topic
2. Both threads had the title "Danny O'brien Official to UM" which led people to believe he had committed.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:00 PM ^
would lead me to believe he committed
August 25th, 2011 at 3:27 PM ^
Mad-Max style home-made combat vehicles these people road in from the hills to take your children and gasoline.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:51 AM ^
everything you get for wording the title the way you did.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 1:07 PM ^
Roll with the punches.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
First I stuck up my fist and shouted, "HAIL!"
Then I read the message body and dropped my arm and said, "Oh."
August 25th, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
i got really excited and thought this was a "Hello:" post
August 25th, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
You sir got my hopes way up. Now I am sad.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
good god, please put 'visit' in the title!
thanks for ruining my day.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
my day has been salvaged by witnessing the swift and brutal justice of the mgocommunity through downvoting.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:14 PM ^
Mr. Hoke draws a lot of water in this town. You don't draw shit, Dantonio. Now we got a nice, quiet little dying auto industry community here, and I aim to keep it nice and quiet. So let me make something plain. I don't like you sucking around, bothering our citizens, Dantonio. I don't like your jerk-off name. I don't like your jerk-off face. I don't like your jerk-off behavior, and I don't like you, jerk-off. Do I make myself clear?
August 25th, 2011 at 11:53 AM ^
Terrible title bro... but awesome he's coming.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:53 AM ^
yeah at first I thought it was a commitment post. Good news anyway. Especially with the exits this week more scholarships=monster 2012 class.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
I got REAL excited by the OP title. But, it answered my question whether Michigan and Danny O'Brien were still mutually interested in each other. Cool.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
No red herring thread titles!
August 25th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
...carry on.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:55 AM ^
I only saw the corrected title referencing the official visit but I'm still angry that you upset my MGoBrethren.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:10 PM ^
the original title was:
Danny O'brien Official to UM
August 25th, 2011 at 11:57 AM ^
Money quote from the Sam Webb article (MSpeedKills just relays - often premium - information, as far as I can tell), IMO:
"Hoke said to me, 'Take your time. I know you're one of those guys that is really making a decision in cutting them down.' He said, 'Take your time and we will take you whenever.' That stood out to me."
That stood out to me, too...
August 25th, 2011 at 12:00 PM ^
excellent, he's worth the wait.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:13 PM ^
MSpeedKills just relays - often premium - information, as far as I can tellYou tell correctly. Don't get me wrong he's usually reliable, but that's because he's just tweeting what the premium guys say. The part about taking him whenever is what really stands out though. Should answer any questions people had about where he stands with us and vice-versa.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
I can't confirm this because I don't have a scout membership, but someone said that there is a post about him tweeting premium info.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 12:51 PM ^
Did you see his "live chat" thing he did on twitter. Most of his answers were things I could have come up with by reading recruiting sites.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
Come on Ace, we all know Hoke puts a gun to every kid's head and forces them to commit. That article is total BS.
/s
August 25th, 2011 at 12:35 PM ^
He's visiting MSU on Oct 15th, but might announce his commitment on Oct 7th. Kinda telling, isn't it?
August 25th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
Nice catch - I missed that on the first read. Certainly seems like this will come down to Michigan and Tennessee.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:06 PM ^
To me the visit timing seems to be a good sign for MSU. it seems like when you schedule a visit after a possible commit date, that school is your likely choice.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 1:31 PM ^
Sparty wouldn't have accepted O'Brien. Flint is way too close to East Lansing

GREAT Brady Hoke quote.... sounds like he wants the guy!
August 25th, 2011 at 12:04 PM ^
I understood your post! Glad he's dropping in for that game. It should be a great time for anyone not wearing a gold helmet. Go Blue!!!
August 25th, 2011 at 12:11 PM ^
the title didn't have the word 'visit' in it before, hence all the outrage
August 25th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
Got it!

Advice of the day: Words mean things.
Tomorrow's discussion: magnets work... but how?
August 25th, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
Glad you updated the title now...I got excited at 1st. This and the Barnett departure is not making for a good lunch.
Plenty of room for him now.
August 25th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
C'mon big guy,
I'm sure Little Bro's DC has a lot of energy and that's all well and good but who do you really trust to best prepare you during your 4 year NFL internship, him or Greg Mattison?
This is your NFL career we're talking about here.
Or, let's say for some unthinkable reason you don't play pro ball, which degree would you rather have? Michigan, MSU or Tennessee?
August 25th, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
I love me some D Tackle recruiting! and hopefully the Night game is the best recruiting tool the school has had since Mr. Mattison came to campus....
