It's not like he'll whiff tackles in November because he's a fan. He'll probably play his hardest against a team he grew up rooting for.

Give it a little bit.
I had a couple friends who were hardcore Buckeyes when they came here (wearing Ohio jersey's around to classes and such), but both of them within 1 year, went from loving them, to absolutely detesting them (usually significantly more than the normal Michigan fan).
In time he will learn, and then he will let the hate flow through him.

Two things...
Two things...
1) Winning takes care of everything. I can only imagine the kind of "dogs-and-cats-living-together" fanstorm that would have occurred had he been a signee three years ago...
2) He is basically an OSU reject (no offer, no interest) with UM as his best offer, but that DID work out pretty well for the basketball program, and Trey.

While we're talking about
While we're talking about
While we're talking about loyalties, my family has been Notre Dame fans as long as I can remember, so I grew up a huge Domer too.
Then I decided to go to Michigan, after all, the engineering school is better and it is half the cost, but I could still be a Notre Dame fan, right?
No. The answer is no. I hate Notre Dame and I became a genuine Wolverine after the first football game, even though it was the 27-25 Utah loss. It was rough being a freshman for our 3-9 season, but my loyalties to Notre Dame were excised way faster than I thought possible.
HAIL.

His tune will change really fast don't worry.
His tune will change really fast don't worry.
If he can't get it through his head he doesn't belong. You come to Michigan all your other fan allegiance DIES. You're no longer an Irish, Sparty or Buckeye fan you're a Wolverine and if you can't leave that behind then you don't belong. Team you play for is your team. Doesn't matter how much you like them you leave that shit behind. I'm sure he'll convert in no time.
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

I had a high school friend at Michigan whose roommate was a diehard Buckeye. Went to Columbus for games all the time, had a big picture of Tressel and the team on the wall of his dorm room, the whole nine yards. And his whole rationale was that Michigan was a better school, but he was still a Buckeye.
I don't get how anyone could ever do that. Like... It's disgusting.

Easy. Deep emotional bonds are tough to break.
Easy. Deep emotional bonds are tough to break.
It's like if someone who was born and raised in Boston by transplanted New Yorkers cheering for the Yankees. The attachment made in a person's younger years stay with them for a long time.
I, myself, have been called a traitor by fellow EMU alums for stating that I could never cheer for EMU to beat Michigan. What they don't understand is that Michigan football is much more to me than a team on field of a play, it is a shared experience and passion with my Dad. That connection is why I love Michigan football so much. It's the personal connections that make these games of boys so meaningful. You just don't lose that connection when you go elsewhere for college.
I understand completely what Reon is saying. As a Michigan fan I don't like it, but so long as he busts his ass while he Is here I won't mind it. Anyways, I have a feeling that he won't be so staunch of a Buckeye after a Buckeye plasters him. With experience comes "hate".

On the bright side, at least now I have a least favorite recruit in this class. Hopefully he gets so much abuse in summer practice that he either learns to hate the Buckeyes or crawls to Bowling Green so he can play closer to his Buckeyes.

Only from personal experience: grew up in wlaffayette, attended iu, have loved for both schools. Played football at ball state against Michigan, its not like I didn't try my heart out. clarification: would have tried my heart out had I been good enough to play.
