Another memory I'll never forget, Running down that tunnel to over 100,000 fans going crazy & hitting that banner for the first time! — PeppyPep (@JabrillPeppers) July 17, 2015What did Cobra say? His posts have been deleted or something. I can't see them. Only people responding to them.
If it's the cobra I'm thinking of, he's been to a handful of practices. I've met him there. Haven't seen or heard him post in awhile but I distinctly remember him telling me he posts under the name cobra something last year.
Has to be the same guy
What the heck is going on here? I was replying to someone named Cobra, not the guy who it says I responded to. The mobile app screws me up way too much.
Bog Seger System -- Ramblin' Gamblin Man
Spencer Davis Group -- Gimme Some Lovin (US version)
The Strangeloves -- Night Time
The Kinks -- You Really Got Me
The Sonics -- Strychnine
Like you put this in the wrong thread, but I see you and your shrewd attempt to hijack the thread and change the subject before the natives in here eat each other...
It's definitely gotten a little too "Lord of the Flies" for my taste.
I only boo in livechat.
Not sure if Jabrill was in any of our livechats though... BrownBear would know.
I wasn't there, but I'm sure the majority of fans were booing Hoke and staff, not the players. But still, it kinda goes against Peppers mantra of accountability. If the fans were booing, that would signal the work put it wasn't enough. or that Hoke just was a miserable failure as a coach who is payed to win.
The difference is Harbaugh is hard on his players to get better and on here people are hard on them because they have a beef with them because they dropped passes and since Funchess dropped passes at Michigan I'm going to root against him to succeed in the nfl.
Go to the drinking thread drunk ass

I'm drinking drunk and when they football I mad at drop passing and cause cause woo hoo!
Periods aren't just for women.
Just letting you know.
A little sentence structure helps with comprehensibility and strengthens your argument.
Meet pot
This is the reason I don't boo tho. It was absolutely deserved TOWARDS the coaches. I just wouldn't do it for this fact, the players thinking it is towards them.
Why is everything Peppers does news? The kid has barely played at Michigan and in his short time he has done nothing! He did tackle an Appy State guy at the knees and everyone wet their pants over it.
Is it because he was the # 2 recruit? I mean guys like Wheatley, A Train, Rickey Powers, Woodson, Bowens, Marcus Ray they did shit as Freshman! Hell Bowens was a one man wrecking crew as a Frosh. This kid isn't even in the same category as these guys Freshman year.
Probably because he was injured during the home opener. May want to check your facts there bud

You do know he was injured right?
The good news is that he's a Freshman this year. A redshirt freshman but still....
So he still has time to live up to your standards.

That's my point! Do something on the field first before you talk. Guy doesn't deserve to be news or have a voice.
He was also suspended for acting like a jack ass at practice so add that to the list.
The standards the greats before him set at Michigan. I wish guys like Woodley and Long were still there. Peppers head would of been pushed right into his ass at practice for pulling this.
So in your world people should shut the fuck up until they satisfy your needs?

No, people just need to shut the fuck up.

Hahaha. Yep I'll shut up because you said so. You got me. It's clear you struggle with what really has gone on with this program since Carr left. It isn't all on coaches fellas. These players need a huge wake up call.
If the fanbase didn't turn against the ad and coaching staff would anything have really changed? Hell no

If the team still went 5-7 and the fanbase turned against the AD in ways other than booing at games would anything have really changed? Yeah

I have a hard time believing a 20 something y.o University of Michigan student can't determine who the boos were aimed at. If you have to take an "us vs the world" type of approach for motivation, then so be it. But don't make it seem like the fans weren't in full support of the players. We're just not supporting mediocrity from the staff, and as someone who I would hope doesn't want to be mediocre, he should understand.
Trust me, every player perceive any kind of booing as a diss to them and have us vs them mentality. You'll be shocked if you talk to the players about it

"The team. The team. The team." I'm guessing that it includes the coaches.
In other words, they are all on the same team, and an attack on any member of the team is an attack on the team...

I imagine that Bo would have had a few choice words for the fanbase on this very subject.
I imagine Bo would have had a few choice words for the players if they ever performed the way the team did last year. I believe the fans would have been the least of his concerns.
While I'd like to think the boos were directed at the staff and not the players, I totally get it, Jabrill.
Don't play for us chump fans. Play for each other. You're the ones out there busting your asses together every day.

Well said sir thank you. I thought the same exact thought when I read this post!
Do people seriously think that when boos are coming from the crowd, that the players are thinking "ah well those are for the coaches, not us." If you think the players shouldn't/don't take it personally, you're kidding yourself.

you're a fucking idiot who doesn't know the first thing about human nature."
FIFY.
So long as Harbaugh doesn't try to run out the clock at halftime down seven, I'm not gonna boo.
That's really unfortunate, I wasn't at those games but I really hope they were booing specific coaching decisions rather than just when something went wrong.
With that said, it's obvious that this experience stuck with Jabrill, but I'm glad he's using it to motivate him. Sometimes in life you have to experience the bad to truly appreciate the good. I hope it makes it that much sweeter for him when he finds success here.

And another thought, I realize he took it harshly, but like they say, it's better to have a parent that lets you know when you screwed up rather than one who doesn't say anything. The fact that fans booed isn't exactly ideal, but at least it shows that the bar is set high here and there is a culture and expectation to win. Do you think Purdue fans boo and lose heart when their team keeps losing and reaches new lows? No, they just stop showing up and stop caring (if they did to begin with).

Except your not his parent
Shame on your parents.
Good god. It's a metaphor. I meant to say I'm sure Jabrill will come to realize that fans that boo when they know that the team can do better are better than fans who simply stop giving a shit. The ones who boo still care, they just aren't channeling their emotions in the most thoughtful way.

A parent being stern with their kid because they have a personal relationship and will stand by them and help them improve and whatever they're doing wrong is a terrible metaphor for an angry forty year old stranger yelling at a kid he doesn't know for not making him happy.
I've read the tweet over a bunch of times, who says it has to be taken in a negative way.

Booing at the collegiate level is classless, embarrassing and shameful. I don't care how bad it gets, you should have the integrity and discipline to not boo young men doing their best to represent Michigan. Everyone of those players felt as those boos we're directed at them. I was angry when it happened and Peppers comments reminded me just how despicable it was.
Despicable? That's definitely not overstating it.
Brah. Pls be quiet. It isn't individually speaking. You're an idiot to think anyone is booing any player. Seriously. Those responsible.

It doesn't matter if you are booing the coaches or AD, if you are booing the players feel it.

Yes people were booing players, vocally cussing them at the games, and here on this blog. It's shameful but it happens.
John Navarre would like to have a word with you.
And Tom Brady. Though to a much lesser extent.

This went about as well as can be expected.
We will find out this year if last year's coaches were worth booing. My money is on Drevno doing better with the o-line.
I hope so BS but we have about 5 ready OL. If anyone gets injuried it's going to be a struggle. A guy like LTT is getting better but he still has a ways to go. JBB has even further.
