Instate Recruiting Battle
An ESPN article recently had a troubling quote about instate recruiting (I know that they arent the greatest site for recruiting, but nonetheless). It basically said that more and more prospects think MSU is better than M. I know that most of you think that MSU overtaking M instate wont happen, that it is just a result of us hitting Ohio and Florida harder, but the past couple of years there has been a steady flow of instate recruits heading to MSU, which is sort off troubling.

I absolutely remember the Brandon Minor thing. It was you against the world on that topic, and you ended up being right. In everyone else's defense (including mine), that was when Brandon Minor was fumbling A LOT and we were all still really gaga over McGuffie.
Rah Rah ah ah ah
Ro-ma roma ma

no.
you get negged because every reply in this blog or whatever has been noticeably negative towards the coaches and players for M.
Remember, your on a UofM sports blog. As to why you come in this blog and completely shit all over michigan in your replies i have no idea.
Your opinion is your opinion, but from the looks of it, your opinion should belong to some MSU sports blog or something.
THAT is why you get negged my friend.

"As to why you come in this blog and completely shit all over michigan in your replies i have no idea."
I'm sorry I don't blindly believe that Michigan is the absolute best at everything. You may think that fans should think that way. I believe in objectivity.

Yeah man, that's completely understandable and acceptable.
But seriously 90% of the shit i read from you is against Michigan. (whether that be their coaches, players, defensive schemes, there ability to put WR's in the NFL, EVERYTHING).
There's objectivity and then there is just flat out being against M.
You say MSU is a better football team. Your basing that on a completely valid point. Being that they won the past two years.
Others are basing it off the football program as a whole. Which is also valid. There's no point to argue.
But by saying there a better team I'm assuming you believe there going to beat us this year again. (because well, usually the better teams win competitions)
My point is this is a Michigan sports support blog, and I have yet to see any signs of support from you.
I did not get the memo that this is a "support blog." If this is a place where we're only supposed to say positive things, then I guess I'm in the wrong place.
I was under the impression that we're all here to discuss Michigan athletics, not display absolute homerism.
I quit.
My entire point in the first place was when your always so negative towards Michigan athletics why the hell do u whine and complain that everything u say gets you negged.
Of course it gets you negged u idiot, your posting 90% anti Michigan opinions on a Michigan athletics blog.
That was my entire point in the first place an I'm gonna leave it at that.
"No matter what I say, I'm going to get negged. So I'm just not worried about it."
In case you can't tell by that, I'm not complaining. I was just stating a fact.
EDIT: Also, saying that Michigan is worse than another school at certain things isn't anti-Michigan. That's a mindset that's completely illogical. It's arrogant to think that anybody who thinks Michigan is second- or third-best at something must be anti-Michigan. I'm clearly not anti-Michigan. I just have the ability to look at things objectively, which many people here don't like and/or can't do.
Arright cool. Good shit.
Props to you.
If I was talking about just one instance where your "anti Michigan" then you'd have a good point. But I'm saying everything I read it's something negative with you. Every post, it's pessimistic. I spend alot of time just reading on here and I noticed it.
Realism is a good thing but it gets to a point where it just seems "anti".
You call it objective, I call it pessimism.
Can we just agree to disagree?
Edit: I call it pessimism when it's so frequently a negative viewpoint. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems when there is a chance go say something positive, your never there. It's just negative realism. Never positive realism.
I'm not sure how well I explained that
