As for my profession, I was asked specifically in a thread discussing majors (as in what do you do with a sociology degree, which is a good question, btw) and I never said whether or not I was successful. I certainly didn't say it as a way to attack another poster based on his/her job.

Is Magnus a hack...
Certainly. But not much worse than all the other guys at Rivals, Scout, 247, ESPN. Is he an Uncle Rico/Al Bundy type with an inflated sense of football knowledge because he has creepily analyzed one too many a video of 16 year olds hip turn and leverage? Sure.
But it's not like anyone on here is any better. We all follow the recruiting and comment on coaching and think we know what we are talking about. Magnus is just more annoying because he has marginally a tad more knowledge than most of us, but comes off extremely certain and self-assured in his opions on recruits and coaching - which are often just a rewrite of other sites assessments (also made by hacks grasping to their high school football playing days).
So basically my point is....All the criticism leveled at Magnus is indeed justified, it's just that the crowd here is by no means the ones in a position to be judging him. It's like the clergy ripping the Pope.

Your opinion is your opinion, but the fact is that I make my own assessments. I get recruiting info (who gets offered, where they're visiting, etc.) from various locations - Twitter, Rivals, 247, MGoBlog, etc. - but I don't need anyone else to make my player evaluations for me.

More just my opinion that all the scouting sites are just as competent or incompetent as any random HS coach analyzing talent. And, these guys shouldnt give you shit because you enjoy watching tape and making analyses as baseless as the rest of those recruiting sites.
And that anyone on here ripping you is a hypocrite because none of us know shit either.

au contraire, mi amigo
Some of us do know shit,and we're willing to back it up with our opinions vs. those that get paid for doing same, i.e., Josh Helmoldt from Rivals, whom upon hearing from two former site members that a certain 5 star DT that committed to UM would have to learn the position, instead of just relying on his size and strength, as demonstrated on his highlight tape, became irritated and had this to say:
¨Just because he's not from the w.side of the state, knowing we both were, doesn't mean he's not a legit 5 star.¨Wow, how condescending and just because he's from the e. side, obviously, and doesn't know the difference between ect and etc., and which one is correct, he slides by because he played at the same school I did, only years apart. That school being GVSU, of course. I still think I was much better than he, and I know I learned a hell of a lot more in regard to English Composition than he did, but damn, the man has 45 lbs of fat on me, so I don't really want to piss him off. He is just not that good at rating or writing, two, as we all know of the three Rs.

Serious Question here
Why have 9 people at this point down voted this thread? The OP asked a legit question and wants info and he gets down voted for that? I just read a thread on this blog the other day where JustinGoBlue gushed about how great this community is at answering legit questions and sharing knowledge. Seems to me that it's really the opposite. Please explain.

I'll try my best to explain. When there is news it is reported here, fairly quickly. So the need for a post asking about news is unnecessary seeing that if there was news there would be a post about it. Therefore this post wouldn't be necessary and isn't necessary. Hope that helps. I didn't down vote fwiw and that isn't worth much.

This is true if by "news" you
This is true if by "news" you mean a commitment, de-commitment, scheduled visit, etc. If "news" is defined really broadly, like McDowell's visit reaction, that kind of thing often doesn't make it back here. Whether it should is another question, since the pay sites typically work to get that information (and a lot of it is silly anyway), but as a point of fact, a lot of stuff like this doesn't actually show up on MGoBlog.

If McDowell had come out and said that he had a great time and that Michigan was his leader or anything different from what he said "They are near the top like the others" I believe it would be reported. The running back who visited on Saturday said it was "eye opening" and other glowing things and a post was made for it.

In this case, its fine to dislike content and downvote it, but I'll never understand why people feel the need to voice their displeasure with a separate comment. FYI - Its more annoying than the post that you (not you, Don) are complaining about.

but its not quickly becoming that way. It's been a downward spiral for many months. For all the good content on here, there's far more horseshit than ever to sift through to find it. Even the dry and funny stuff that I used to like is being replaced with OTs about TV shows and anything else that has nothing to do with sports or Michigan. I know, I can stop visiting.... Just seems like a place filled with snarky children who have very little quality input.

I almost completely forgot
I almost completely forgot
I almost completely forgot what the thread was about as well. But anyways, McDowell was actually in a minor car accident, so he was late getting to Ann Arbor. That's why he wasn't in any pictures or mentions really.
I have been to his site. I see one or two posts a day and most are relatively short. I have no idea what he does and I really don't care because it isn't worth thinking about. However, you feel the need to tell people what to think and push your opinion on everybody, which I find very annoying and childish. Perhaps you could find something more constructive to do that bitch and complain about an internet poster.
Peace.
