Junior Hemingway's accolades stolen from family home in SC
So sad to see... Looks like most of the stuff he's received throughout his career got lifted. I hope the local police can catch up to the bastards. It's not like it'll go unnoticed on EBay, after all, we're not OSU were it'd be lost in a sea of memoribilia-for-sale.

Yes, but how does this specifically pertain to recruiting? Will this dissuade other potential recruits from picking us, as he was obviously targeted as a Michigan player? How does it affect our standing with Kozan?
February 7th, 2012 at 8:59 AM ^
That's fine and all, but I'm more concerned about how this affects Hoke's decision to offer [random 16-year-old MI football player whose high school coach is probably my brother].
February 7th, 2012 at 8:55 AM ^
I don't get it . . .
February 7th, 2012 at 8:57 AM ^
If you're referring to my post, it's a bit of an inside joke.
February 7th, 2012 at 10:07 AM ^
I'd imagine anyone with -oh, say...60 or more points- would have gotten it.
February 7th, 2012 at 10:25 AM ^
If only BubbaT33 had made one more comment somewhere else, he would have gotten the joke... He was so close...
February 7th, 2012 at 5:14 PM ^
I get it!
February 7th, 2012 at 4:34 PM ^
Hey Bubba, do you like fish sticks?

it was those DB's he made look silly in 2010?
February 7th, 2012 at 9:33 AM ^
That is so sad. Listening to how emotional he was after the sugar bowl win I can't begin to imagin how pissed off he must be about this
February 7th, 2012 at 9:40 AM ^
Here, I'll replace his accolades:
I still think he was one of the more exciting players on our team last year.
He made some fantastic catches/TDs
I loved his leadership qualities
I hope he thrives and prospers in whatever he does after Michigan
Now, as far as his awards, I'm an truly saddened that someone would stoop so low as to steal a kids trophies/ribbons/hardware. Who does s*** like that? What value does it have to a thief?
February 7th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
"What value does it have to a thief?"
About $8000

Not all accolades are, some are material. You're welcome.

It is odd how word meanings drift over time. It used to mean "a touch on a person's shoulders with a sword at the bestowing of a knighthood." That no one could ever steal. It is like my pet hobby horse "decimate" which, through years of misuse, has become imprecise.

Watch Mr. Pryor's ebay account.
I should work for CSI

February 7th, 2012 at 10:51 AM ^
Agree. Of course the type of person that would consider stealing that type of stuff may not have totally thought things through either.
February 7th, 2012 at 11:07 AM ^
February 7th, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
Shiny stuff!
February 7th, 2012 at 5:02 PM ^
My money is on a raging Spartan fan.
February 7th, 2012 at 10:50 AM ^
Sad story. Hopefully they'll be able to track these punks down. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to track down jewelry with specific bowl logos on it.
In other news though, how many people here knew his real name was Kenneth Earl Hemingway, Jr.?
February 7th, 2012 at 12:14 PM ^
Probably someone he knew, sadly.
February 7th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
I'ma on my way JR!
February 7th, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
i hope they can replace the bowl watches. that shit'll get melted down and sold by weight.
February 7th, 2012 at 5:12 PM ^
It's honestly insane to me how commonplace stealing is in our society. In college I had my ipod stolen off my desk. Just a year ago someone stole my road bike out of my garage. I live on a culdesac in a nice neighborhood and the garage was left open for like 2 hours, wtf! No one has any integrity these days.
February 7th, 2012 at 5:54 PM ^
F*ckin' crumbs.
February 7th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
in local papers is that you have to read the idiot comments below it. Sigh.
February 7th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
I hope he finds some resolution after this and stays focused on the draft, if that is his dream.
