Derrick Green [Open] Thread

Today is the day. In about 4 hours from now at 4PM EST, Hermitage RB Derrick Green will announce his decision. Finalists include Michigan, Tennessee, and Auburn.

Story from newspaper that will cover the announcement live: http://bit.ly/VoJlH6

Mod edit: Changed the name of the thread to discourage the otherwise inevitable onslaught of board posts. Unless Green or someone close to the situation confirms his choice before the announcement, there doesn't need to be another thread posted. If someone wants to start an announcement open thread sometime close to 4:00, go for it. JGB.

I don't understand why there is this intense aversion to starting new threads on an internet message board - a place designed for discussion.  If someone starts a thread and no one responds, it'll drop off the first page pretty quickly.  If it does garner responses, then obviously it was worth posting in the first place.  So what's the problem?
