Mike Weber working out in Michigan shirt
February 9th, 2015 at 3:31 PM ^
them all now. It's not like he can wear them in Columbus next year.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:32 PM ^
This won't be over analyzed at all guys......right?
February 9th, 2015 at 3:32 PM ^
Remember when everyone was freaking out that he had the OSU t-shirt on at that event he was photographed at? It was just a shirt then. It's just a shirt now. Yes, he chose OSU after wearing that shirt, but all information indcates that he had not chosen it at the time of that wearing.

no way dude. it's not too late if he wants to come back to the good guys. you realize people were seriously entertaining the idea of braxton miller transferring to michigan AFTER he had played against us for 3 years and with his ohio tattoo?! and you're telling me you wouldn't take a kid whose heart was with michigan and he made a choice that he thought would be better for him, but was immediately proven wrong the day after he made that choice?!
i'm not sying he comes back, but if he wants to and is able to get out of his LOI, open arms!

Please, please don't do this to me!! I let it go already.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
I'm shocked they only have 270 # on that machine.
Hell, 360 # is a warm up. Seriously.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
So I wasn't the only one that noticed.
I was about to make a "cumong only 270?" post.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
This saga fascinates me.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
This will piss off quite a few Bucks that will make a fool themselves on Twitter.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
They don't need to be pissed off for that, they just need to be tweeting...
February 9th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
I genuinely believe people overanalyze things, but I can't imagine why he would wear that shirt. If he is planniing on sticking with OSU he is making things very tough on himself. The fans are going to jump all over him even though it may just be a workout shirt. I can't imagine any Michigan fans would be excited if their commits were working out in OSU gear.
February 9th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
It's already starting on 11 Warriors....they have noticed and aren't happy.
Fine by me...
February 9th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
I'm wearing Batman boxers.
I'm not saying I'm him... I'm just saying that Batman and I haven't ever been seen in the same room together.

Weber wants to go pro and make millions. If he believes Ohio State is going to give him the best opportunity to do that, I don't blame him. This is a decision that could effect his entire life, so of course he's not going to think of it from the perspective of a fan.
February 9th, 2015 at 4:48 PM ^
February 9th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
I am of the mindset that he is SOL.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:41 PM ^
Seriously, I hope he enjoys being the scout team tackling dummy.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
I'll admit to working out in some gear that they give to athletes (received through connections) that isn't Michigan mostly because they are very comfortable and breathe really well. If I was Weber, I'd be using all those shirts to work out in too. But, like Weber, I wouldn't think people would be taking pictures of me and posting them on the internet while I was working out.
February 9th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
exactly be expecting good decisions.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
He is only doing about 270. Seems pretty light for a leg press. Not much quad or vmo definition either. Don't want.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:38 PM ^
He likes Adidas?
February 9th, 2015 at 3:42 PM ^
Good, at least someone does.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:41 PM ^
But I don't think its accidental he chose that shirt to wear, knowing his workout was going up on Instagram.
I don't necessarily think it means he's going to ask for his release, but its his own personal form of protest.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
February 9th, 2015 at 3:43 PM ^
There are two scenarios for Mike Weber's future:
- Urban talks him off the ledge and he shows up on campus in August to play for OSU
- Urban lets him out of his LOI with the stipulation that he can't sign with Michigan, MSU, or Penn State.
Either way, you won't see Mike Weber on the sideline in Michigan Stadium wearing the colors of the good guys, ever.
Move on.

Yes they can. He signed a LOI, if he wants out OSU can stipulate where they won't allow him to transfer. Of course this makes them look even worse than they already do.

Is it possible to execute a side agreement, along with the LOI release, that makes it conditional? They can't keep him from signing with anyone he wants, of course, but as you say, without the LOI release he has to sit out a year.
I guess what I'm wondering is, is there something in the NCAA regs governing LOI's that specifies proper language for the release?
February 9th, 2015 at 4:20 PM ^
3. Weber makes a large deal of this(lawyers and such) and Urban realizes if he fights it, he looks like and even larger DB than he already does. Even then, I think he ends up at MSU. The UM ship has sailed for both sides IMO.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:46 PM ^
Man, sometimes I wish we could close that Pandora's Box that allows people to know what shirt a kid is wearing when he works out.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:47 PM ^
I am beginning to think that it may take more than this to get Ohio State to consider a release from his LOI, if indeed that is the ultimate aim (and it might not be - this may mean nothing, but it is oddly intriguing). It might need to go as far as insisting that one is Alphonso XII of Spain or demanding to wear a number which is unable to calculated by current computing. Even then, there is no guarantee that Meyer would necessarily see that as unusual behavior.
February 9th, 2015 at 4:22 PM ^
Perhaps, but I think Meyer has a lot to lose if he isn't careful. This story is getting a lot of play and won't go away until Weber decides it's OSU or Meyer let's him out of his LOI. Meyer was despised by SEC coaches. So far, things have been relatively peaceful, but this little travesty is a good way to ensure that a story that paints Meyer in a very bad light keeps getting covered.
Harbaugh, I suspect, will be Meyer's worst nightmare, not only on the field but off the field as well. Harbaugh is never afraid to get in someone's face as we have alredy seen with the quote about deceit, and push their hot button. I hope old Urbs slept well while he had the chance; his nights may be a bit more restless down the road.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:49 PM ^
on that note, what's Van Jefferson's current twitter background?
February 9th, 2015 at 3:53 PM ^
Still Detroit.
Wait, were you being sarcastic?
February 9th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
"Still Detroit."
methinks we should buckle up!
February 9th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
First his Smart TV starts evesdropping on him, now he can't even leg press in private.
February 9th, 2015 at 3:51 PM ^
i hope that jayru campbell can direct his young life into a positive direction. good for mike weber for standing by his friend through tough times.

Dude, Mike Weber has no idea what kind of snake pit he's about to walk into down here. This story has been on the local news daily since it was first reported. People (college kids, grown men, old ladies) are following this story and paying attention to this kid. He's an OSU signee wearing Michigan gear? They won't even say the name of the state down here. Unfortunately, kid's got a lot of rough days ahead of him.
