Toledo is Never Beautiful
I live in the Toledo area now. It is awful. Unless you are a fan of unplanned teenage pregnancies, red neck Ohio State fans, single mothers, or back child support, Toledo is the worst place imaginable to live.
Seconded
I go to UT. I hate it.

Wildwood Park, the zoo, and the art museum are nice. But that's all I got.
You know
Michigan and Ohio once fought over the strip of land in which Toledo is situated. Ohio lost.
A repeat national championship in 2017…what better way to celebrate the bicentennial?
I had a girlfriend in college
I had a girlfriend in college that was from Adrian. For 'amusement' she would take me to some godforesaken shopping mall in Toledo. Turns out, she was a whore. Fun at the time.

Here is the full
Here is the full quote:
“Until I die, I’m gonna be a Buckeye fan, even though I’m going (to Michigan)," Dawson told the Dayton Daily News. "When we play (OSU), I’m gonna still bring my ‘A’ game. But I love Ohio State.”
Was he also misquoted on the "buckeye fan til I die" portion? Forgive me, but I don't buy this explanation since it is incomplete. It just looks like Dawson is in damage control mode at the moment and blaming the reporter is the path of least resistence. Glad his teammates have already started getting on him though.
The swag is back.
So you believe a reporter
So you believe a reporter from the state of Ohio, who probably hates Michigan, over the actual guy and his best friend themselves? Both of whom are coming to Michigan? This is the exact kind of attitude that leads to Manti T'eo having a dead girlfriend. People believe too many things that reporters say. I think I'll trust the guy and his best friend over some reporter in Ohio.
Now, I honestly don't know who is telling the truth here. But, there's two sides to every story. And if anyone is going to do mis-reporting, leave it to a guy from Ohio. That all said, Dawson could have said it. But, who is to say which one of them is not telling the 100% truth? Why does the reporter get a pass?
People need to keep in mind
People need to keep in mind how much local pressure these guys are under when they commit to Michigan. They almost have to say something like that to avoid having their home vandalized.
Whoosh...
...glad that is all cleared up!
Same thing.

He probably has done 23232 interviews, being asked dumb questions like that all the time...
He SIGNED with Michigan... Doesn't that say enough about where his feelings reside? He could have gone to numerous other schools, but he wanted to be in Ann Arbor...
I am a die hard Michigan fan, but if OSU offered me a full ride, my next best offer was Illinois, maybe I would go there too?
Blasphemy!

I Can Confirm
Wolv's comment. UCSB is remarkable in that regard. maybe even unbelievable.
Quiverfull
I can also confirm
Having lived in Santa Barbara, I can confirm that there are a TON of hot chicks. Also, many hot chicks from rich parents....which can be a positive or a negative, depending how you view that.

Positive.
Santa Monica
Positive.
Santa Monica college wasn't too shabby either last time I was there.
True
Santa Monica College is stacked with hot chicks too....mostly hot wannabe actresses and models.

If he falls in love with the team, then he'll be as productive as he would have been before we heard all this.
Either way, the excuse in the OP is bulls***. It's just an attempt at spin, but at least he cares enough to try to spin it. That's a lesson in itself.
