The mention of a gun is never a good idea, especially when talking about batshit crazy ohio fans.  On the other hand I have no problem with this young man standing up for his future teammate.  Also, when you hashtag #bringagun I think it really means "I'm a Ginormous Man-child who will rip your face off if you fuck with my teammate and if you don't #bringagun I will most likely break you in two" sincerely Kyle 

Team 134 will do major damage in the Big Ten. Go Blue!

Excerpts from the article

Bosch:

 


  •  On the comment: "I'm just trying to defend my teammate and my friend. Logan is like a brother to me and when somebody threatens his life and his family's life, I am going to come to his defense. The gun comment has been taken out of context. I'm only saying that if you're going to threaten my friend and brother that you better bring a gun because if you're truly threatening his life, you'll have to take mine too. I should have realized that it may have been misinterpreted, but it's hard not to be angry when he and his mother have gone through so much".
  • The rivalry: "I truly have a lot of respect for the rivalry. I would have come as vigorously to Logan's defense if it had been from anybody, football related or not. I know that those who make threats don't represent the Ohio State fan base as a whole and that every group of fans has some bad apples in it. One of the reasons I committed to Michigan was to be part of such a great rivalry".

Kids of a certain age don't understand that the internet is real life and that being non-anonymous on the interent is real real life.

The OSU story shows that there are insane people out there, I'd hate to see more recruits meet them.

This is getting to be a disturbing story.  Recruits need to learn that if they dont want to deal with the animals, dont poke them in their cages.  IMO our recruits should stfu, do their camps, play their season, sign their letters of intent next Feb...and do their talking ON the field for the next 4 years.  Now Im not blaming anyone, these are just kids...but enough is enough, this crap goes beyond the spirit of the rivalry on both sides.

I hope the death threats against LTT and his family are being investigated.

This shit is no joke.

I admire teammates sticking up for each other but I'd like to see some serious fines doled out or maybe even a little jail time for threatening to take someone's life.

This world is getting too crazy.

Did it ever occur to anyone that the letter was from Columbus, so maybe it was already on fire when it got to him? Just saying.

I'm not shocked that LTT, and now Bosch, have done stupid things. They are 17, it is the way of their people.

I'm not shocked that the internet has enough crazy idiots to actually take the stupid shit said by a 17 year old seriously, and to actually take umbrage for it.

I'm not shocked that the fuckwit OP is praising one of our recruits for a stupid, idioctic statement in the name of being "NASTY", because this is the way idiots look at athletes.

In all, I think this entire deal is an excellent example of "Why we should not observe or look at social media put out by 17 year old boys." If LTT didn't have a legion of jock-sniffing panderers that he wanted to feed red meat to, this wouldn't have happened. If we didn't obsessively follow these kids, that picture wouldn't have reached the idiot fans of the opposition.

I have no problem with players talking smack about other schools.  In fact, I'm willing to live with comments they make that might rub our fan base the wrong way, or may seem inappropriate.  We want guys to have a mean streak, or be nasty on the field, and this attitude sometimes comes with a price.  It's seldom that we get a guy that is mean and nasty on the field, and a model citizen off it.  If we want to have more 10+ win seasons, we have to be prepared to accept the behavior off the field that is not quite SEC, but not Ivy league either.  IMHO

Good. Good, I say again! The Maize and the Blue has been missing the Swagger for too long, friends! Bravo! That faux offense from Columbus? It smells an awful lot like fear. The gravy train is over, Columbus. And it's about to start running all over you.

This whole situation is getting stupid. Our portion of crazy/idiot fans threatening kids is awful and embarassing. STOP TWEETING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. Who cares if he's going to play for our rival? Grow up.

And Bosch was stupid to post anything about "bringagun". There are crazy people in every fanbase, why inflame them more? I hope Hoke has a talk with him about not encouraging stupid people to do stupid things.

Bottom line is, all recruits (OSU or Michigan) need to keep their mouths shut and wait til they've actually played in The Game.
