Rashan Gary Fitting In
There's a fluff article at the Freep (freep alert) on Rashan Gary:
Michigan's Rashan Gary already fitting in well with the defensive line.
Greg Mattison is quoted:
The thing that excites me probably the most about that is he’s with a great group of guys that can mentor him and get him into that freshman year. One thing I’m real proud of is these seniors. They’ve become real men and they see a talented kid and they’ll make sure he does all the right things and we’re going to help him get as good as he can be. “He’s already fit in.
And something almost all of us are anticipating:
The challenge is where to put Gary because, Mattison said, “he’s got the size to play inside, but the speed to play outside. So it gives us a lot more flexibility.”
The future looks bright. Bright indeed. Looking forward to the season.
Paste it all.
Be my guest and paste it all. However, iirc, the mods frown on such behavior. That may have changed.
I believe that would be a 55 year old lady in an arts and crafts class.
Would +1 if i could.
Here's basically the same article from a week ago in MLive:

The freep doesn't plaguarize, noooope.
The mods can kiss my rosy red...woe Nelly that's a big just kidding on that one. You guys are the best!!
We could look at this in an alternate way, of course, and say that - of all sources - the Detroit Free Press is the one where a quote to get the discussion going is all that is necessary and skip the link, but then a Free Press fluff piece has historically been "fluffier" than most when compared to other local outlets.
It's harmless enough this time around though, and glad to hear that Gary is already finding a fit with the players and coaches. He is definitely one of the reasons this could be a fun next few years at least.
I appreciate you may at times feel in a tough position, but if there is anywhere that can continuously carry out due punishment with conviction and righteous predjudice for that particular instance of journalistic malpractice, it is this blog.
For how long? I don't know really but suggest a generation or so as appropriate. That would be my mandatory minimum.
Also: Thank you Freep for taking my mind to our defensive line. It is a good place to go. Everytime.
The Rosenberg piece on excessive stretching is widely viewed as a hack job aimed at getting the Freep clicks at the expense of the program. Sorry to diss your place of employment, but I do not think highly of a paper that allowed that type of journalism
It WAS a hack job, and as mentioned above, they have NO journalistic standards especially with the latest drew "not so" sharp issue of plagiarism.
If you've been here since 2010, you likely know the answer to this.
Drew is Gargamel
I give this 10 out of 10 fakes. We know this is you Drew, can't fool us.
In all seriousness how was he ever hired on 105.1 after Drew and Marc left. He is just as bad when he speaks. His words always form some sort of click-baity sound clip "now I know you Michigan slappies will hate this" or "I know that detroiters don't want to belive this". As though he fully understands the one perspective. The guy's a joke.
know just how unique your DL is this season and another thing about a DL that awesome, so confident in their own ability, loving the way everyone is rotated so they all are recognized and rewarded for their hard work. I think it's impossible for a group like this: I feel their understood obligation by being blessed with this much talent prevents them from even thinking of doing anything but expediting the evolution of Rashaun Gary. To a man, no matter how good they are, know he is the greatest teammate they will ever have and they will do, because their willingness is as strong as their obligation, absolutely nothing but that which will assist this tremendous young man.
Given his gpa, the exemplary manner in which he was raised, I am not sure they will ever even have to offer upperclassmen advice, worrying about him taking a wrong turn. He's just a very special blend of all that's good in a person and all that's great in a football player. As Coach P says, "To have one in a lifetime is almost beyond belief. To have two back-to-back is probably mathematically impossible, but it happened."
I agree with the majority, I am somewhat frightened for our opposition. Imagine if you will - and you all know how great play can become contagious - if they all go full out DUDE at the same time. Simply unfathomable. There is a realistic chance, I believe, rotation of opposing OLs could be done by motorized gurney. Mr. T's comedic warning could prove to be anything but funny.
Stop reading the freep.

I'm StephenRKass, and I've never created an alternate account, and never will. I'm too old and too lazy and don't feel the need to have alternate identities so I can write really snarky or rude or whatever things. Just not going to do that. Besides, it's my real name and I will stand behind what I write.
but I AM concerned about the well-being of MrsStephenRKass. Why does she no longer post ?
Just what has become of her?
No, not really. I'm R. Gard actually.
I'm simply too lazy to log off and log back on with the separate account.
You're right
exhausting.
