In response to Ohio's recent recruiting trend in offering all Michigan target's, Shane Morris has an idea...
Okay so I say that Michigan finds some scrub kids that want to go to Ohio and we offer them! So Ohio will offer them then they will commit.
Read his like 5 or 6 tweets to Taco Charlton hahaha....
Michigan should offer scholarships to greedy, egocentric, and overrated prima donnas who destroys team chemistry and attracts law enforcement investigators...
Wait, Rich Rodriguez already did that..., and OSU bit it hard.

I think he was talking about pryor since we offered him too and he hurt the program, no need to get your panties in a bunch every time someone even writes rich rod.
a.) This is the first time I've commented on anything that regards Rich Rodriguez in anyway.
and
b.) If you interpretted my post as being defensive for Rich Rodriguez's sake, I'll have to throw out your interpretation of his post.
Ummm i didn't think it was defensive of rich rod I was pointing out that your being upset on behalf of team 132 was unnecessary and wrong considering it was no way an attack on michigan and was making fun pryor/ohio. reading comprehension for the win for you their buddy.
and sorry about the grammer/spelling mistakes its finals and i just don't really care at this point but I know there are people who will feel the need to point it out.
To the first poster, I tried to unneg...but sorry bro, damage done.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
I deserved to be neg-ged. The RR comment was intended to be a joke on TPryor, but I can see how it may be interpreted as a dig on Team 132. My sincere apologies.
Ultimately, in all seriousness, Michigan sells itself. Recruits who stay will be champions.

It's not a bad plan, actually...
Shane's, specifically.

When was the last time we had such a great kid recruiting so hard for Michigan? I know justice hayes was doing it last year, when the kids get into recruiting others its such a big help
"What" ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
It's been a long time. Like...two years.
Ummm this is not Northwestern, we recruit with the same academic standards everyone else does. Saying we dont only gives OSU and Sparty ammo to make fun of us when we recruit someone with a 2.8 GPA. (and it's happened...)
I've read this same thing before, but doesn't UM sometimes pass on a guy due to academics and other schools go on to recruit sign him? That, to me, looks like using somewhat higher standards, even though the baseline GPA/SAT used might be the same as other schools.
I don't want to say that I think Shane Morris could potentially be one of my top 5 favorite Wolverine football players...

I think I may throw out the potential part and say he already is?
If that kid is smart he should remain single in college, he could do some unimaginable work on the ladies of AA.
You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
Shane is already picking up Hoke's lingo and calling them 'Ohio', best recruiting advice too... gotta love this kid!

When Meyer sends an offer Shane's way, what hilarious response will he bless us with?
Me fail English? That's unpossible!

I love this pic
"We want the Big 10 championship. And we’re going to win it as a TEAM"
I'd love to know whose letter that is.
I believe that was Devin Gardner. So yeah we have pretty much the most likeable group of QBs/QB recruits ever.
" I want to win Big 10 titles. Multiply. Consecutively. I just made that word up (multiply). I'm like that. I'm good at Scrabble."
But I love this team. The Seniors went through something no other senior class at Michigan has gone through in 40 years, if ever. And we've got respectable and respectful kids, that are 100% blue.
Can't remember another team I liked this much.
Same letter but someone wiping their ass with it.

Is this how you conduct yourself... in a democracy?
like this?

I would much rather have a team of men who love their school and what it stands for rather than a bunch of kids who want to play so that they have a chance to go professional. That's not what college football is about, in my opinion. It's about passion, pride, and a reverence to tradition, on top of winning.
If a 5-star kid grew up loving michigan and wants to go here or feels a special bond to the school for whatever reason, then we can all rejoice. But we should rejoice even if it's a 3-star kid or a 2-star kid. Stars don't matter when you've got heart as Mo's teams showed during the 90s (Biakabatuka!!!).
Schools only become perennial powers when there's something more to play for than just the game next saturday. For example, this season was about the seniors and overcoming all the bullshit they've had to put up with for the last 3 years. But the underclassmen also played their heart out for the seniors this season and with that comes the ideal of Michigan and what it means to wear the Maize and Blue.
Shane understands this to some degree (he won't know until he walks out onto the field vs. App. State). He knows that Ohio can only build a team as good as its parts (Dunn, Pittman, Spence), but to build a team is something that takes heart and pride and is something that our 2012 class has more than enough of (Darboh, Funch, Magnuson).
I'm ready to go tackle Brutus! Let me at him!
Special Teams means special times!
That's the only way having a Wolverine mascot could be worthwhile.

This is exactly why I love Michigan football... it's about more than the game, it's about the team (the team, the team).
I love the passion and maybe you can make it into a Disney movie I'll pretend I got something stuck in my eye when my wife asks if I'm crying, but the reality is you better have some athletes or USC, OSU, Alabama and the rest will have there 5 star NFL players take your fire breathing team guys and beat them to death. You have to have both to be successful.
Bo, Mo, Lloyd, Rich, Brady they all recruited great kids that loved Michigan, but only when we had a dip in talent and experience did we start losing.
Shane Morris is TRUE BLUE! I love this kid, he gets it. He understands and loves Michigan. Shane will be a great TEAM player when he gets here. I really can't wait and hope this kid exceeds all expectations.
He is already my favorite player and hasnt played a snap yet

Not gonna start a new thread about this, but that Logan kid from a few days back (seemed like a great kid) tweeted tonight about Meyer extending him an offer. He seemed a little too excited. I hope he goes blue.
Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

Wow...Meyer really is just lurking around, staring at Hoke with his lurkily eyes, offering who Hoke offers.

One for bowl game preparations against the tuna, the other to get out their and take back Midwest recruiting in the promise that: wink, wink, the NCAA is not going to do anything. Why? Exhibit A: look ma they let us have two coaching staffs.
I'm not going to give away what I read from behind a paywall, but I can probably say this with relative safety - he called Urban Meyer. The article confirms that Logan Tuley-Tillman has always wanted to be a Buckeye. So I don't think this is a case of Urban stealing anything. However, is it convienent that Urban offered him shortly after we did? It most certainly is...
Oh snap!! Gotta love that kid #bleedsblue
