Kyle Bosch chimes in on LTT letter burning. ~~ "Bring a gun"
Gotta love this guy's moxie, and the nastiness of this team. I'm liking what I'm seeing...
Enough is enough imo. I love that they hate OSU and all but at this point just let it go. Adding more fuel to the fire like this is unecessary and a bit juvenile, even if he is just defending a future teammate.
he is 17
You have a point. Still, as a representative of the university, he should probably be held to higher standards. I'm not blaming him as much as I am frowning on the whole situation, but at the very least other Michigan fans shouldn't be congradulating him on this behavior.
Fuck that. I'm 28 and I still act juvenile. I don't care if he's going to U of M or not, these kids are exactly that, kids. They could be doing stuff way worse then trash talking a rival. Let the kids be kids. I still do.
I understand where you are coming from. Things blew up waaayyyyyy more then they ever should have. It's kids and some people forget that they like to have fun.
Glad to see these guys are coming together and sticking up for eachother, but this whole situation is one that I wouldn't mind putting behind us. It's time to move on.
Fuck ohio.
You should change your signature.
Roy Roundtree will wear the number 21 before he leaves Michigan!
Staying until the 2012 season ends.
I would prefer not to see any of our recruits mentioning guns.
I get the feeling that Bosch doesn't quite realize that anyone can see what he says on Twitter.
[Insert the obligatory "high-profile athletes should not be on Twitter" here]
Or he doesn't care. I also read the comment as the person making the threats should bring a gun as one would need it to bring him down. I did not take away that he had a gun. It's just like someone saying to an a-hole that threatens him to bring an army because they do not fear that a-hole
I thought that as well. People will definitely be taking that the wrong way and he will probably get in a little trouble. This is becomming overblown. Everyone needs to stop being so sensitive and the thing will blow over.
hope he is referring to "guns" as body parts and not Sig Saurer's. If it is the latter, we are no better than they are. We do not need drive-bys in A2.
I encourage you to speak for yourself. He was clearly referring to the need of whoever approached him to bring a gun. "Drive bys in A2"- I don't even know what this means, so again, please speak for yourself.
Probably better if he didn't say anything like that at all, but there's nothing wrong or illegal about that statement.
I never said there was anything illegal about it.
I said I would prefer if he didn't talk about guns.
I would actually expect that Hoke and Co. will give Kyle a talk about this. Its great he is sticking up for his fellow commit, but if he just left out that last mention of fire arms 99% of fans and alum would have been fine.
I dont like the line also, but he was fired up and trying to back his teammate. These are kids and may not be as mature about the right PC things to say. I support him fully, but lets back it up on the field.
Alex at 11W is saying how bad this is and playing to the fanbase while forgetting commetns from Billy Price. Way to be fair.
For people that are complaining about the talk from our recruits, please stop following these 16 and 17 year olds. right or wrong stop following them. Its just interesting that Ohio Sate fans are not talking about their recruits and the Justin Boren Costume at Halloween.
Edit : Basically I said the same thing as Leaders and Best further down.
the 13 class better be able to back this talk on the field because they are definitely firing up ohio fans and players. I hope there is some actually rage behind all this talk.
It kind of fires me up.
Who cares if they fire up the fans? If they get so riled up about this that they're sending death threats I say rile them up some more. It makes them look bad and they're losing a lot more sleep over it than anyone on our side. As far as riling up the Ohio players I'm of the oft repeated opinion that no one really needs bulletin board material for this game.
I am forced to drive through ohio fairly ofter, I don't want to die.
WTF? These kids aren't toys for you to play with. If the fans are sending them death threats, then you want them riled up more? So our recruits can get threatened with death more? Or so they can be verbally and physically assaulted?
Get a grip, man. It's a sport. It's supposed to be fun.
Huh? I read my post again and fail to see how I suggested they are toys for me to play with... I'm saying the fans don't affect what happens on the field, so who cares if they get riled. It just makes their lives more miserable. A death threat over twitter is not that frightening to me, and it seems it's not that frightening to Bosch either.
When Kentucky sex offenders are showing up at your front door with weapons, you will change your mind.
It means these kids have feelings. They're not inanimate objects. Nobody wants to be subjected to death threats. So suggesting that OSU fans should be riled up more, and thus make more threats, is rather insensitive.
Saying that a 17-year-old commit to Michigan receiving death threats "just makes [OSU fans'] lives more miserable" is a completely moronic statement. If you can't see why, that's a problem.
I know that there are a lot of Ohio fans who are over 250 pounds. I still find it hard for them to do damage to a future B1G lineman.
/don't comment on gun usage. That's really just, stupid/scary<--take your pick.
This is taking it to an unnecessary level IMO.
I think this is starting to get out of hand. Stop talking and wait til you're on the field guys.
this is by far (incoming class + next years class) the loudest, mouthiest bunch of recruits i can remember. maybe its the social media, but im beginning to wish id hear less about this stuff.
not saying its their direct fault, but i would rather hear the seniors talk and the freshmen shut up, sit down, and get to work.
Kids like Roh, Campbell, Lewan, Denard, need to give these kids reality checks when they come in. You havent done anything to talk about beating Ohio State yet.
Eh, I would not be surprised to see / hear Hoke talk to Bosch and the others about toning it down a bit. Look at Frank Clark (if I remember the player correctly), he was making inappropriate comments on Twitter, etc. and Hoke supposedly talked to him.
You are correct about it being Clark.
Thanks Magnus.
So, tell me, "JimBobTressel," did you want Terrelle Pryor to "shut up" after he committed to Ohio? Didn't think so.
not even sure what this means
Lets hope they Shock the world as well.
If I was you, I'd perfer they win something.
If you want to talk about a fanbase that are morans and need to be mocked, how about you start with something closer to home. Thank you.
I don't really have anything useful to add, I just wanted to point out the esteemed gentleman from Columbus's use of the word "perfer." Just because that's how y'all pronounce it, doesn't mean that's how it's spelled.
