FBI Agent Writes about Talking to the Team for 30th Year

Submitted by M-Wolverine on

As many know former FBI Agent Greg Stejskal comes and talks to the team each year, warning them of the many dangers out there for players, gambling primarily.  Entering his 30th year doing it for the team he's written a brief article about his experiences with the coaches over the years.

Plus he has a killer last line quote of John Wayne he uses. (Or is that the "Fightin' John Waynes"...?)

It mentions in the article he walked on from 2000-2003.

Also, Stejskal owns the idiot commenters of the article towards the bottom. "I didn't research, I was there".

Edit: Sorry this was suppose to be a reply to the first comment.

The tie is definitely Scarlet and grey; this is simply to get a reaction from the michigan football team. During the presentation Mr. Stejskal or his guest pulls out a switchblade or other hunting type knife and cuts the tie off and throws it to the Michigan players.  This is simply a play on the OSU colors and a way to get the players into the presentation.  It is actually very simple and hilarious, and also probably a cheap tie.

I grew up five houses down the street from him.  He played at Nebraska and his kid Andy (about 10 years younger than me) played WR at UM but never really got a shot at PT - although he had a great catch against MSU in garbage time.  Greg is a great guy, very very smart, and can still kick my ass although that is not an exclusive club.

He talked about a "failure to communicate" with the Fab Five.  If he was talking to them about not gambling or shaving points, and they didn't do those things, I don't know why he would feel this way.  Unless he also discusses improper benefits, or he doesn't know what they did wrong.

Edit: Nevermind, I read further along about how he stressed good judgement and integrity.  Jumped the gun here.
