ESPN video of the Michael Ferns-Logan Thompson TD
I know the Ferns-Thompson Event isn't fresh news at this point, but ESPN posted a video of it on Oct. 30 & my MGoSearch didn't turn up any evidence of it already appearing here on the blog. I think most of you know the story, but if you'd like to see it in action, here we are. Happy Friday!

Don't read the comments section. It's overrun by preteens who think it's cool to be insensitive.

Overrun by preteens is the definition of every comment section on ESPN.
The only comments worth reading are on here.

I think someone is cutting onions by my desk....

Thanks for posting. Even though the story isn't new, Chantel wrote a nice article attached to the video with some good insight and background. I thought of putting up the link myself, but declined because there can also be a bunch of snarky teens here at mgoblog.

Yeah the article is good! I didn't want to re-hash the story too much because it's already gotten a lot of attention here, but I figured the new video might be cool enough to show off on its own. I don't start threads very often (my 2nd one now?), so I'm definitely wary of the possible snarks.
But I did manage to embed properly, so there's that anyway.

Well I had sex with your wife!

His wife is your sister!
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^
with your mom, wife, and sister. We started the evening by reading "50 Shades of Grey" beside the fireplace with a little Franzia, the ladies can't get enough. Then we played a little game called "just the tip"... Oh snap!

Why is this happening!???

Those highly recruited 5-star kids are great, but these are the players that you need to succeed.

I had read the story but didn't see the video until now - thanks for sharing it, as it is moving to watch as well as read.
I need to move my desk further away from this crate of Vidalias...really not good for my eyes.

my attendance on the blog is inconsistent at best (in know right...letting a job get in the way of being on this blog!) and I have seen or heard nothing of this before. Can someojne fill me in a bit?

Here's the original MGoBlog thread in which the story was discussed:

And here's a more recent Chantel Jennings article that accompanies the video:

Never saw the video.

That hole that they cleared for Thompson was absolutely massive. Congrats to all involved for doing something really nice for a kid going through rough times.

Logan Thompson made a pretty nice little cut there. Is he available? Fitz isn't really getting it done.
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:13 AM ^
who the hell is chopping onions at this time of night?
November 3rd, 2012 at 11:00 AM ^
What a great kid and a great addition to the 2014 class. You can't just make those stories up.
November 3rd, 2012 at 11:04 AM ^
Great video and story. I have one question about Ferns from a recruiting point of view: Is he a running back or linebacker?
