Richardson Tweet
97.1 was reporting TRich sent out a tweet saying something to the effect that if he didn't start next year(not likely) he was not coming.
I'm not a twitter guy so I don't know and I was shocked that I could not find a thread here so was the radio making stuff up? It seemed to get a lot of play on the radio.
Anybody know the real story?
Seems like a silly stance so I don't think it's a big deal, I guess I'm just more intrigued now because we didn't have a thread here.

if thats his attitude happy trails then.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
OK, but it's not like that will be determined before NSD, and no other team worth playing for will make him that promise anyway. But yeah, he's not starting here next fall.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
I know he was probably just talking but that's the same thing I thought when I saw that tweet the other day.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
no he tweeted saying he needs to didn't start offtop at Michigan if the come talking about that redshirt stuff its a wrap.
he then sent out tweets later asking fans not to go posting his tweets on blogs and stuff. But I always felt he was the least firm commit we have.

English, Mother Fucker! Do you speak it?
December 21st, 2011 at 9:17 PM ^
I'm on my phone and it screwed everything up with auto predict.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
You must have very fat fingers or something.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
No I was typing and it auto predicts what I am going to say and I didn't proofread it before I sent it.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:35 PM ^
I didn't proofread it before I sent it.
Take a deep breath, look it over. The board ain't going anywhere. :)

Is this a virus bot post? Mods?

read on the internets. Most - if not all - of those are made up. What phone maker installs "c*nt" or "vulva" or "manboobs" or "pussies" in their auto correct?
December 22nd, 2011 at 1:07 PM ^
Do you have a smartphone? If you type in a word that it doesn't have in the auto correct then it will save it...
December 21st, 2011 at 9:43 PM ^
The poor guy was trying to pass the word, technology screwed it up and he got crushed by mogblog. It's probably the beers in me.
December 21st, 2011 at 10:51 PM ^
Yes bitch , I speak it. !
December 21st, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
edit: previous post (damn auto correct)
he said he needed to start offtop at Michigan and if they come talking about redshirting its a wrap.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:17 PM ^
OK, not much better. What does start offtop mean? And what do you mean by "it's a wrap?"
December 21st, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
Start offtop is his words. It means he plans to be starting immediately
I'm not sure what he means by its a wrap but it sounds like he would not come if they wanted him to redshirt.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
maybe you should ask TRichardson
December 21st, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
That's actually pretty much word-for-word what T-Rich wrote in his tweet. Don't kill the messenger.
December 22nd, 2011 at 12:47 AM ^
In my defense, he didn't have it in quotes, so I didn't think that was the tweet, I thought that was his paraphrase of the tweet. I don't know what offtop means, and I didn't know if "it's a wrap" was good or bad. Since he had some autocorrect errors before, I assumed that mumbo jumbo was more of the same.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:34 PM ^
Why are you being a dick?
December 21st, 2011 at 10:59 PM ^
I'm in the same grade as T-Rich. "Its a wrap" is similar to saying it's gonna be over
December 22nd, 2011 at 8:39 AM ^
to translate this garbage.
December 22nd, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^
Do you go to Cass Tech?
December 21st, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
He is smarter than all you think. He will be fine and a great wolverine
December 21st, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
Eh. A high school senior says something hot-headed? I'm not gonna worry about it; TR seems vocal about things in general. Besides, I really doubt the coaches would tell him he's gonna redshirt. If he's the best player, he's gonna see the field. Personally, I think a RS year would benefit him mostly just to put some weight onto his frame.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
That's the nice way of putting it. It's like he's purposely trying to make himself less endearing.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
He is still young. Not every recruit can be Shane. His buddies Ross and RJS will make sure he is ok.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
than the people getting upset about what an 18-year-old kid they don't know says on the internet.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:24 PM ^
Bad mouth a player that will eventually be playing for Michigan. You don't know him or his motivation behind the tweet. Maybe he was misunderstood, maybe he wasn't, but jumping to conclusions is unnecessary.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
He has since recinded the tweet and appologized for saying something that a lot of people misunderstood and that he understands what an opportunity playing at michigan is.
Nuff said.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
I'm gonna give T-Rich the benefit of the doubt here (and he recently tweeted a similar stance) that the tweet was about him being confident in his abilities not about him giving an ultimatum. That being said, he really needs to take diligent notes in Hoke's Twitter 101 class next year.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
He apologized and didn't mean it the way people took. He just wants to show people how determined he is and I am completely cool with that. Having him, Blake, and possibly yuri is going to be great for the secondary. Jarrod as well.

I cannot start a thread, but I thought everyone would like to see this...apparently the Michigan State players were already given the gloves and jerseys worn during the UM vs. MSU game this year. Now they are getting the helmet for their bowl gift.
No big deal, but I like what Brian Linthicum says about beating Michigan four times in a row was a "once-in-a-lifetime" happening. Glad to know that even they don't think this will ever happen again!
From Lansing State Journal 12/21/11 :
"Fifth-year senior tight end Brian Linthicum agreed.
"That's probably the most exciting gift," Linthicum said. "Gift cards are gift cards. We get them every year. The helmet we thought we were getting right after the game. We got the gloves, jersey, everything but the helmet.
"The helmet, it represents so much. It's like a piece of you, especially when you're playing. The jersey we wanted, but the only thing other than that we wanted is the helmet. It's something you're going to keep forever. You're going to put it up in a case, let your kids look at it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for MSU. It's exciting to be a part of that, especially the senior class, beating (Michigan) for the fourth time."
December 21st, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
December 21st, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
Well, technically he stated it was once in a lifetime for MSU, not him personally. Technically.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
What else are they going to do with the helmets? Of course they gave them away. Just like we gave away the Notre Dame night jerseys. It's not like a game against ND means anything anymore, but rather that it's cool for the players to have real memoribilia instead of throwing it away.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
i saw his tweet too. only he knows what he really meant. he looks like a fine prospect. and im sure the coaches will let him know. its about the team. and if he outs himself before the team. im sure they wouldnt beg him to stay. but he's young and hopefully he is good enough to start or play next fall. good luck t-rich!
December 21st, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
December 21st, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
Well then he shouldn't run so fast.
December 22nd, 2011 at 11:15 AM ^
Gets +1 from physics nerds
December 21st, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
hey good write up at the JCB, but are you ever gonna write something else at the WLA?
December 21st, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
He has tweeted explaining his intentions behind his tweet yesterday. Saying he was showing confidense not cockiness, etc.
Also, that he learned his lesson about what to put out on social media. Many never learn this.
Let's lay off. He's going to be a great Wolverine. I like his edge. He is going to compete.
December 22nd, 2011 at 11:02 AM ^
the kids going to be a stud, just needs to put the phone down once in awhile
December 21st, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
sounds like he needs to mature and recognize.
December 21st, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
