Everybody wins here.  Pepper gets a scholly.  Dantonio gets someone who will stay out of jail.  Most of all, we get to remind Sparty that they are giving schollies to Michigan's walk-ons on October 21 when they wake up with hangovers, burned couches, and the realization that they haven't really caught up with Michigan, after all.

But it's not like MSU was using those scholarships on anyone good anyway, hehe.

Dantonio the Master Trickster is working him into a fake-field-goal-tip-it-to-the-long-snapper-for-a-first-down play, trying to rip that page out of Hoke's Sugar Bowl playbook.

The play will be called "The Sandlot," and it will be run to beat Nebraska.

In all seriousness, best of luck and congratulations, even if it is with Sparty!

Even if it is at the hands of Michigan State, he is going to get something he wouldn't get here - a paid education - and especially nowadays, sports scholarship at stake or not, many kids would be hard-pressed NOT to take such an offer, especially if, in his case, it's not typically a scholarship position nor one that gets much attention generally. 

Good luck to you, Taybor.

We all love Michigan and what it can offer, but a paid education elsewhere is a big deal, in-state rival or not. This is a great opportunity for him; even if MSU can provide some truly LOL moments.

Accepting a scholarship is a world apart from sitting here on the computer. The girlfriend camped at Ohio for softball and wanted an offer (before she went, by the way) but she cheered as hard as anyone here when Denard took a knee against them. He's doing what's best for him and I'm glad a long snapper got a scholarship, though I hope he loses a lot of games.
