No. At least not right now
August 13th, 2009 at 8:48 PM ^
it must suck to be a bench warmer for richrod
August 13th, 2009 at 8:55 PM ^
At this rate we'll have 23 players left. (11 offense, 11 defense, and 1 Space Emperor.)
August 13th, 2009 at 8:55 PM ^
I know there can be many, many reasons behind a kid transferring but i'm kinda with ya on this. If he transfers and it's because of PT, well that's just dumb. He's got 4 years ahead of him in an offense perfectly suited for his abilities.
August 13th, 2009 at 8:59 PM ^
Unfortunately for T-rob, he is behind a Sophmore(Odams), another RS Freshman(Roundtree) and probably a true Freshman(Gallon) so if it is because of PT I can understand, but dont agree, with his decision
August 13th, 2009 at 11:21 PM ^
Roundtree has a really different skill set and might end up playing more on the outside and I think it's a leap to say he's probably behind Gallon. Even if he were behind Gallon, TRob is only a redshirt freshman. He has plenty of time to improve and get playing time. He should have a conversation with Mark Huyge.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:18 AM ^
Odams? Seriously.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:21 AM ^
He's a Brit
August 14th, 2009 at 8:25 AM ^
like we're from the midwest; perhaps dude is from another part of the country/world. Let's embrace diversity...
August 14th, 2009 at 8:56 AM ^
Ohhhh Daaamns!
August 13th, 2009 at 8:51 PM ^
I hope this is false .. i like the potential and speed of TRob .. but if he does go nobody will get that #7 jersey until a certain somebody in 2010.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:53 PM ^
20 bucks you mean "certain somebody" as Austin White.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:58 PM ^
Devin Gardner wears number 7.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:15 PM ^
Rick Leach wore 7. Good number. Could become one of those hallowed numbers.
FWIW, another great Michigan quarterback shared a number with Tate -- Johnny Wangler. Let's hope Tate doesn't suffer the same knee injury and we're all set.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:22 PM ^
Lawrence Taylor. I wonder if Michigan players were aware of just how great a player they were up against in that game.
What a vicious vicious hit on Wangler.
Lawrence Taylor would get my vote for best Defensive Player Ever. Still, we would have won the game if Wangler doesn't get mangled by LT
August 14th, 2009 at 3:43 PM ^
No .. i was thinking of DG ... when can i get that 20 bucks ?
August 13th, 2009 at 8:53 PM ^
If true we will have to recruit more and more slots, 44 slots
August 13th, 2009 at 8:54 PM ^
I have no inside information, but this would not surprise me in the slightest. He's been passed up by Roundtree on the depth chart and has apparently suffered from dropping too many balls. I know this sounds like 20/20 hindsight, but I said at the time of his commitment that it seemed people were excited about him based almost entirely from the "Dream Shake" video.
I hope it's not true, and this is the first I've heard of it. But I've wondered a couple times if he might be a guy who would search for greener pastures elsewhere.
August 13th, 2009 at 8:59 PM ^
I formed the same opinion, but I hope we are wrong.
August 13th, 2009 at 9:12 PM ^
When we recruit so many people at the same positions you have to figure some will defect.
Magnus, do you have an email to reach you. Have a question for you about Touch The Banner
August 13th, 2009 at 9:16 PM ^
spam SUCKS
August 13th, 2009 at 9:27 PM ^
As much as I'd like drop some bombs on you for both owning a cat and using one as your icon, I shall refrain.
If you seriously consider drawing attention to an auction of Michigan football memorabilia, tickets and other assorted Michigan football related stuff ON A BOARD FOR MICHIGAN FOOTBALL FANS (gee, can't imagine anyone here cares about that) is unworthy........fill in the assumed blank.
...and finally, if you consider drawing attention to said auction WHICH BENEFITS A SCHOLARSHIP FOR UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN STUDENTS WHO HAVE CANCER sucks, then there simply are not enough expletives for me to fire at you.
August 13th, 2009 at 9:30 PM ^
No sugarcoat.
August 13th, 2009 at 9:34 PM ^
I'm laying it out there. Thats twice he's buzzed me on the same issue.
August 13th, 2009 at 9:39 PM ^
That's not what I'm saying at all, at all. And I own no cat(just a random pic), I do however have a sweet dog.
My problem with you is how you're going about it. You are being really vague, and asking anyone with a blog for their emails. It would be far better for you had you started a thread dedicated to this topic, instead of spamming everyone about it in a supposedly on-topic thread.
For what it's worth, (I looked) I think you're charity is a worthy cause for sure. You really should just start a thread, and label it OT.
Edit: and, it's a LOLCAT, an MGoStaple
August 13th, 2009 at 10:01 PM ^
1) so its in my sig line. Those who choose to look may, anyone else can ignore.
1a) How the hell many words can you put in a sig line to describe this! Can't exactly write a paragraph here.
2) Some bloggers have been carrying links to the auction (mvictors, House That Yost Built and TheWolverineBlog et.al) so yes, if they don't post an email on their blogsite, I do ask them for an email to see if they would be willing to run said link. Unless you haven't noticed the economy kind of sucks and getting the word out to as many Michigan fans is sort of necessary under the circumstances. Not much of an auction if no one knows its there. Much like the old "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" adage.
3) Its run by the school. I took classes taught by the professor its named after when I was at Michigan and my sister had cancer while she was a student at Michigan so I know the devastation that it delivers to the person and the family and I'm DAMN proud to do whatever I can to get the word out, negative points or Timmmaaayy comments be damned.
4) I CAN'T start a thread, not enough points. But is a thread really appropriate or is it best to just passively disseminate the info at the end of my posts (once again, in the sig line).
FINALLY) Really. REALLY!!!! This of all the many topics on this board is really what you choose to focus on two nights in a row.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:05 PM ^
I will corroborate this, as one who ('s blog) received his e-mail. Mr. Angell wrote a very nice, clear e-mail explaining what his cause was. Posting on MGo is not his M.O.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:12 PM ^
Viva La Revolucion and much non-nicotine love to Dex.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:15 PM ^
You've won me over, I apologize. I do think a thread would serve you better, and I didn't think about the points rule. I will start one with just a link to the auction, and you can explain it all below if you like.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
Apology accepted and returned in kind. The thread would be greatly appreciated.
I still hate cats. My wife had a cat when we got married and the motherf#@%er pissed on my cellphone and destroyed it. I hold that grudge against all cats.
I'm going to sleep. 180 year olds get tired pretty easily.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:34 PM ^
Alright, dude. I spent the last 5 minutes giving up-votes on various threads. You should have enough to post your cause. Don't let me down.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
Since Chitown provided the votes for you to do it, the thread will be better than if I had started it. Good luck.
August 14th, 2009 at 3:00 PM ^
Titled: Auction of Michigan Football memorabilia to aid a scholarship for students at Michigan (read before you hate)
IF you think there is anything I need to edit or add, let me know. Thanks to all of you who gave me the points to do the thread and I hope it attracts a few bidders.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:23 PM ^
You should not only email the blog authors, but also start a thread now that you have the requisite points. They do great things at Mott and theUM for cancer. I have a business partner and friend who both had children which went to UM, and there is certainly no harm in soliciting funds like this. Good luck, JBA.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:00 AM ^
I take it back, he said sorry
August 13th, 2009 at 9:38 PM ^
While Dream Shake was nice there was much more to base an opinion on ... correct me if I am wrong here but didn't he beat out Russel Sheppard for POY in that area of TX? I'm pretty sure that' who he beat out. That is what had me excited about him and still excited. i hope this is not true.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:43 PM ^
t-rob was in the 08 class; sheppard was 09
August 14th, 2009 at 3:04 AM ^
I was wondering. With the multiple slot sets we are trying to run, and run with out a huddle. Why would we have a problem trying to get 5 even 6 SR on the field every game. Correct me if I am wrong but having all of these weapons would make it easy to shuffle them on and off and keep them all fresh.
August 14th, 2009 at 7:34 AM ^
Just like at any other position, when you get down to your 4th, 5th, and 6th options at one position, it's usually somebody who isn't good enough to be on the field. I mean, if you used that theory for cornerbacks, we'd see Adrian Witty or Zach Johnson playing CB. If you used that theory for tackles, we'd see Michael Schofield and Taylor Lewan on the field.
August 13th, 2009 at 8:56 PM ^
But I think he's definitely at the top of the watchlist, unfortunately. I had high hopes for him.
August 13th, 2009 at 8:57 PM ^
From everything I hear about T-Rob, he's always had trouble catching the ball -- which is, I guess, the purpose of a receiver. I also found it interesting that in response to a question on how the slots were doing, Troy Woolfolk mentinoed Tay Odoms as doing well first, second he mentioned Kelvin Grady, and third "that guy wearing #3 (Gallon)." Interesting whom he did not mention.

August 13th, 2009 at 11:19 PM ^
That knee injury really has messed with his confidence.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:44 PM ^
did i miss the meeting where we all decided we were going to call martavious 'tay'? i mean this all of a sudden seems to have a appeared this week and no several people are calling him 'tay'. wtf
August 13th, 2009 at 11:50 PM ^
FWIW I called him Tay before it was cool
August 14th, 2009 at 12:23 AM ^
It's just so you think of Tay Zonday whenever we talk about Odoms...Chocolate Rain.
August 14th, 2009 at 1:22 AM ^
calls him Tay in interviews. I'm guessing he goes by that, just like JT Turner.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:02 AM ^
Would you rather we call him Marty?
August 13th, 2009 at 9:08 PM ^
We post "rumor threads" here (and you've probably done it on 67 other boards) about things we've heard on "other boards"?? Scout is saying "NO." Is that not good enough? And besides, what good does this do? This board is not the "National Enquirer"--and if it were true, I suspect Brian would have it up.
It's amazing (YET TRUE!) how people fly off the handle with every lil rumor or bug in the ear and search the galaxy over and over for confirmation or denials. This can't go on if one is to retain any semblance of sanity.
August 13th, 2009 at 9:44 PM ^
It's amazing (YET TRUE!) how some people fly off the handle about people passing on information that some people have not heard. I think you've already lost your sanity, based solely on you post above.
People on the MGoBoard have broken news and posted it on the thread before Brian has. Brian may come along and validate it or shoot it down, certainly, but it has happened before and will happen again.
Take an e-chill pill i guess would be the main point of the presentation.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
He prob said one little comment and it blows up. I remember all the media drama with Stonum, he is 100% Blue and always will be. I remember talks of him switching to Florida at last second, transfering every few weeks. Everytime he says he never even thought of leaving.
