How has he not handled himself well?  And are you actually suggesting that Jabrill Peppers owes something to the Michigan fanbase for attracting him to this university?  Are you fucking high?  Jabrill Peppers has not done a single thing that reflects poorly on the UM community.  Not one.  It's just arrogant, moronic asswipes like you who are so self-centered that you're incapable of realizing just how small you are in the scheme of Michigan athletics.  These people owe you nothing.  You don't matter.  Now shut up and watch the games. 

I am honestly embarassed that I have to share a rooting interest with people as stupid as you.

He's just a more confident, brash person than many of the other players on the team.  I think this program needs more guys with "the fire" than what we've had the past 7 or 8 years.  I remember we had a cocky, self-confident player back in the mid-80's that used to tick off Bo for speaking what he thought.  That worked out pretty well for everyone I'd say.

Of course everyone has a right to their opinions. What is questionable is sharing those opinions on a very public forum where it could potentially reflect poorly on the Michigan football program. I am only referencing the latest tweet about the fans booing. This happened last year and was all over the media when it happend, so I think its legitimate to question why a player would rehash it within weeks of fall camp. In a worst case scenario it it a shot at the Michigan fans which isnt a positive for potential recruits.

One thing I realized over the last few years, hat just wasn't as apparent before then, is that a lot of our fan base sucks. A lot. We have a lot of really shitty fans. A lot of them post here. We used to say that we have the best fan base in the country. But we don't. We're no better than anyone else.

What does this have to do with being a tough guy? I'm sure Jabrill would kick my ass, that has nothing to do with acting like a man and dealing with adversity.

Denard Robinson and Jordan Kovacs played for teams that got boo'd more than any Michigan team I can remember, and you never heard them bitch about it, and those guys actually produced... this isn't about being tough, so take your lame ass meme and get the fuck out of here.

Most people don't spout off to the world and expect no repercussions for their statements.  So far, the only time I've heard his name while he's been in a Michigan uniform is making statements on Twitter.  And not good ones.  Remember the only time he's been in the news as a Wolverine?

Calls himself a damn indentured servant.  Can't afford to eat.  First meal of the day - at 8 PM - is noodles?  Just wants to keep his fridge and cabinets full so he can eat.  

Well his desk sure isn't empty! https://twitter.com/JabrillPeppers/status/566817500722388992 Maybe he needs to get off the Twitter, onto the football field, and into the classroom to learn how to budget!

But you assumed he blew cash on his equipment instead of food. When it possibly could've been that he had this before he made it here. So give up maybe a cherished item that possibly means a lot to him because the NCAA has goofy archaic rules on meals that don't apply to kids working out in the summer. Now if he uses your logic and says "hey I can't afford to stay on campus because I'm not eating during the summer" you and fans of your ilk would be the first ppl complaining about how he isn't dedicated to the team.

Well he could be saying that he doesn't come to play school or whatever like at other schools. His tweet is harmless and something I actually agree with him about. People on here were downright vicious to people like Funchess last year and now that we have Harbaugh it's all good. They deserved better. I don't just support a winning Michigan. I support Michigan period.

This generation is the "LOOK AT ME" generation of self-centered narcists.  I miss the days when the guys on the team just quietly went about their business AND WON.  Nowadays, if they can't put it on Twitter or Intstantgram, it's not even worth doing or saying.  Have you seen what some of these guys are saying IN PUBLIC on Twitter while representing the University?  Coach Harbaugh should consider banning that damn thing.  Tell them to get their eyes off their phones and onto the field.

You know what?  Maybe that's not such a bad idea.  When my kids brought home B's and weren't performing, I can guarantee you they were NOT out gallivanting around town at all hours of the night.  They were working to do better.  And until they did, they weren't going to be out fraternizing and carrying on.

5-7 is an F grade in my book.  What responsible parent or coach would reward that type of performance?  The offensive line was getting pushed around like shopping cart by a homeless man last year.  They should be hitting the gym and their playbooks, not hitting on women and boozing.

I've never understood what's so terrible about handbaskets? Is that really such a bad way to go? What is the preferred method of transportation to hell? I'd think the bigger worry is the destination.

Actually I suppose a snail drawn wagon would be good, the slower the better. But on the highway to hell a handcart is a lot better than a Ferrari anyway.

Boo the team or the coaches at Michigan Stadium. I just won't. Only booing I do is for the refs when that really screw something up. I'm not a big fan of booing the opposing team either unless someone pulls a Marcus Hall and flips us all off. : )

I didn't participate in any booing. It was a bad look for Michigan even with the troubles on the field and made us look like Yankees fans. The past year made our fanbase look pretty bad with people threatening to boycott and people wearing MSU/Ohio State shirts etc and wasn't really fair to our players who were trying to play through the hailstorm that was surrounding the administration. The good news is we now have Harbaugh and Hackett and I doubt anyone isn't going to be 100 percent in support of our team anymore.

We may not have Hackett or Harbaugh if it wasn't for fans/students voicing their displeasure and frustration publicly. That includes booing, marching to the presidents house demanding DB be fired, posting on MGoBlog, etc. Last year was such an amazing clusterfuck that the people finally had enough and let it be known loudly...and I applaud our fanbase for it. Those who really wanted the best for the program knew DB and Hoke had to be gone. We were doing our part to make sure that would happen.

but it was when Brady Hoke decided not to take Morris out of the game after what appeared like a concussion-like hit.  I had a great vantage point from my seat (being that I was on the 40 yrd line and row 10 opposite of the Michigan team) and I can't imagine Brady not seeing Morris fall after that hit.

Booing may or may not be justified; but even if it is, the effect on the team is no different. Lets assume you properly demonstrated by your boo that Hoke handeled his players health poorly, do you think that made the players feel good ? Not saying you were wrong to boo, but I am saying  you can't try and qualify it.

I went to a few games last year, and the only time I heard a lot of booing was during this incident.  I too had a great view of Morris stumbling around.  Not because I was seated close to the incident, but because it was displayed on the jumbotron for the world to see.

Not great for any potential recruits to read this. I thought they would view it as an attack on them because they will support their coaches.
