HELLO MGOBLOG It is Brandin Hawthorne
I am new to mgoblog and I am looking to have a fun time on mgoblog with all of my fun friends.
I am hoping that being on mgoblog is a way to connect my commmunity in Pahokee with my Michigan Community.
Feel free to ask me any questions about football and other topics. I am open to all questions.
Thanks for your time and go blue.
Which uniform was your favorite?
the Under the lights uniforms
I love the UTL jersey and don't understand why so many people hate them. The huge block M on the front is excellent. I bought a 16 jersey the day those were announced.
shhhh Brandin! Don't talk about the UNiFOrMz around here lest you be banished to Bolivia already!!!
(i dug those uniforms too)
Hey, Brandin. I was curious what the job search process is like for football players once they graduate. Does your name recognition help at all? Does the school or alumni club provide any assistance tailored for athletes?
I also want to add it's awesome that everyone uses the generic, secret-agent sounding MrSmith account.
i couldnt tell you because i am a proffional athlete and isnt on the search for a job as of now.
If you want to create your own account we can get you set up so you can post and everything. Using your school email would make things easiest, but if you don't want to do that I'd email [email protected] and he'll take care of it.
thanks but im good woking off my partners make it alot eaiser
Brandon, welcome to the MGoCommunity. It is awesome to have you, V. Smith and Tay on this board.
Some questions for you:
1. An MgoBlog related question - do the players know of its existence and if so, how many regularly check in.
2. What areas do you think that this team will struggle in this season, and which areas will be strengths?
3. You have been through the coaching change. Let's put aside the whole "who is a better coach" debate. I would instead by interested in your thoughts on the differences between how RR and Hoke run the team? We know that Hoke is obviously very into the whole tradition of Michigan, and emphasizes it regularly during team meetings. There is a perception that the prior staff did not embrace the tradition as much. What's the real scoop on that? (Again, not asking for comments on who is a better coach, etc. Just curious on an inside view of this debated issue).
1. As a player i didnt know about it really dont get to involved into personal opinions while playing the sport so dont read blogs and i know my teammates are the same way as well.
2.losing jake as well as william campbell is a huge lost so i would have to go with upfront on the D-line but knowing that coach matt is coaching them they will be great with Taylor coming back and a few vets on theO-line the Oline would be strong
3. Hoke staff just being more on the coaching and teaching the players and with Coach Rod staff it was hard to relate at times and this tridation we speak of im curious to know what it is yeah there were so new things that we did differently with the new staff but for the most part it was pretty much the same in that aspect
this is my partner of our non profit #eating profile i just wanted to let everyone know im on board with #eating now thats all.
1)Who does the craziest Brady Hoke inpresonation?
2)Who has the sickest basketball game on the football team?
3)Presently,dopest (underground or mainstream) hip hop mc?
HAIL!!
You sound like a 45-year-old guy going through a mid-life crisis.
is the hottest, dopest, sickest, most sickest hot dope honey in all the hood?
Come on man, you can't be serious!
Dylan.
I'm just everyday ppl...dosen't really matter if you are or aren't...j/a My verbage usage has you all twisted??
I'll avoid stepping on your lawn.
You are using this (drastically overused) metaphor. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Guy above is saying you sound like an old guy trying to sound like one of the cool kids. He's not complaining about how the cool kids talk. Not every damn thing that involves a) complaining; or b) old guys has to be met with 'get off my lawn.'
You goddamn kids.
He was being an ass.. and B Hawthorne awnsered it
1. Elloitt Mealer
2. William Campbell
3. as of now its Kendrick Lamar
from 2 planets away I got my drink I got my music I would share it but today I'm sayin' BITCH DON'T KILL MY VIBE, BITCH DON'T KILL MY VIBE.
Sweet tune.
May peace & love find you in your endeavors.
HAIL
best band ever, or BEST BAND EVER?
Nickelback is clearly one of the worst bands ever. Their lead singer's voice is so amazingly annoying.
the beatles
You are wise beyond your years.
Totally agree, and I'm not that surprised to know a younger guy likes their music. I mean, good music is not like a dairy product. It really doesn't ever go bad.
The Beatles are awful.
Welcome! Man, are you in for a lot of questions. Most of them will center around what it's like to be you. It is soooo good to have former players (maybe some current ones too?) on the board. This is the best site for Michigan football discussion out there by far.
thank you
I just went all 8 year old girl giddy and said to my wife," Brandin Hawthorne just said thanks to me using Vincent Smith's account on MGOBLOG!!" She just rolled her eyes. Obviously she doesn't understand the importance of this momentous occasion. Heh.
Do you follow recruiting at all? We just had big news with Jabrill Peppers committing from the 2014 HS class. Is this something you all follow at all?
im a player and as a player we really dont get involved into the recruiting
In your opinion, which current player (besides Taylor Lewan and Devin Gardner) has the best shot at being a first-round draft pick?
Which underclassmen should we look out for to have a breakout season?
All of them because they all have alot to prove and dreams of being 1st round picks
Did you or any of your friends/teammates ever go up to North Campus during your time at U-M?
I'm only asking because I was a sport management major who lived on NC 3 out of 4 years and everyone in sport management looked at me funny when I said I lived on NC lol.
Yes Stayed in the courtyards my freshmen yeae and had classes on North as well
Hey Brandin,
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions.
How did training differ with Coach Barwis vs. Coach Wellman?
Were there any exercises you stopped doing after Coach Wellman started?
Any new exercises you started?
Any nutritionional/diet differences?
Go Blue!
i love going to the weightroom and grinding so i liked both coaches
Barwis was more of a Olympic style workouts working fast twitch muscles that got you strong as heck but we didnt gain weight
Wellman more of the developing program gains weight, flexion, strength and mental toughtness
What are #eatin' short-term and long-term goals with connecting Pahokee and the Michigan community?
What type of charitable events or activities does #eatin' have planned for the future?
How can mgoblog and it's community of users continue to help #eatin' reach their goals?
1) thoughts on ND chickening out of the series?
2) thoughts on narrowly missing out on the opportunity to play such *power* programs as Rutgers and Maryland?
3) favorite bar in Ann Arbor?
