Derrick Green announcement thread
For those that are not among the 4900 current viewers watching the table with three hats, you can see the announcement at http://www.timesdispatch.com/sports/high-school/ . The previous thread was getting a little on the long side - continue speculation, followed by sorrow or excitement here.

"I believe we have some people who have traveled from Tennessee ... who are not coaches."
January 26th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
I can't believe I'm watching this either. But whatever, nothing to do on a boring Saturday afternoon.
January 26th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^

YES! Dont have much to say other than he seems like he has a great head on his shoulders and comes from a good family. I cant wait to see him suited up next year. GO BLUE!
January 26th, 2013 at 4:20 PM ^

Did anyone else watch using the USrream app? That worked great!
January 26th, 2013 at 5:13 PM ^
GO BLUE! This guy is a keeper. Seems like a good guy too
January 26th, 2013 at 5:28 PM ^
Explain what happened to those of us who couldn't watch it.
Did you just grab the M hat, or sort of do the fake reach for the others? Then he put on a UM jersey? What number?
January 26th, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
Faked a move for the M hat, then faked a move for Tennessee hat, then walked away from the table to flip a switch which lifted a projector screen which revealed an M jersey #27 (I think?) Green on the wall.
He then went back to put on the M hat, then he put on the jersey and posed for pictures
January 26th, 2013 at 5:34 PM ^
The kid got me when he took a walk. Thought hat #4 was somewhere off camera. The jersey behind the screen was awesome.
He's going to have to deal with unreasonably high expectations so let's get started. Beating Ohio State's ass and being a Heisman contending type of back is what we need. Period. He's got a great opportunity at a great school with great coaches and a tailor made offense (and suit). Go Blue Mr. Green.
January 26th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
Funny how the OSU boards are all about how Urban the Great didn't want him. I guess if that means we get him then ill take it.
January 26th, 2013 at 6:13 PM ^
Anyone know where I can find the video? I missed the actual announcement.
January 26th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
click on the link above.... The video is in a small screen on the side.... Just saw the video., and my 18 month old started clapping when he made the announcement! Go Blue
January 26th, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
Thank you, sir.
