Threet to Eastern Michigan (Maybe?!?)
Is there any chance Steve Threet could be in a Eastern Michigan jersey to play for Coach English? Threet did transfer here when English was still coaching the team, maybe they bonded(even though English was def coord). I hope he does and helps turn that program around.

And give up a year of eligibility? Delaware state baby!

del. state when he could go to Delaware?
btw if you're looking at the two schools:
Delaware=Michigan
Del. State=MSU

True but that means the girls are hotter at Delaware State. I was just thinking he could make a re-entry to the big house for one final hoorah. Maybe he'll exploit our secondary.

I think he'll still be a SO(rs) in 2010, but still has to sit out this year. So therefore he'll still have 3 yrs of eligibility.

He used his redshirt in 2007, played last year (RS Freshman), would sit out a year (RS Soph) in 2009, could play in 2010 as a RS Junior.

Right, but I think you could bring it up to NCAA and get one extra yr of play. I believe thats what Clark did for PSU this yr. He is technically a SR but now gets another yr.

Say, a freak accident occurs in the weight room or in practice. Could he apply for a medical redshirt and, if approved, end up with 3 more years of eligibility?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:29 AM ^
but my guess is no, because he's not injured at the time of his transfer, and he has to sit out because of the transfer not because of a medical injury.
The NCAA didn't even grant it to that Cincy QB, who was legitimately injured.

they would never give that to threet. especially since he was the incumbent starter here
also, just in case its still on anyone's mind, threet is never going to go to delaware state
February 17th, 2009 at 10:43 PM ^
that would be weird for him to come into the big house (I would think)but hey whatever. He would probably not come to this years game (he couldn't play anyway) and maybe the2 years after that we would not play them and that would eliminate the awkwardness.

Threet, the academic All American, is not going to Eastern Michigan unless he wants to teach 7th grade Social Studies in Adrian.
February 18th, 2009 at 12:01 AM ^
That since he already transferred once, he'll have to sit out a year no matter what division.
But that was the Daily so that's probably a lie.
February 18th, 2009 at 4:44 AM ^
That would totally negate the purpose of the transfer year waiver.

to have Threet at EMU and bizarre Michigan message board favorite AJ Westendorp at CMU. God help us if we lost either of those games.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:35 AM ^
I still want Threet to go home to Adrian College, where he could probably start and actually win a few games.
The game is slower, thus making his slow decision-making not as much of a liability, and the players are shorter, thus making his low throwing motion not as much of a liability.
His lack of accuracy won't be as much of a liability there, either, because most of the accurate QB's are at better schools, so he will be back on the Bell Curve for his conference.
As for Threet helping "rebuild" EMU, I don't think he has the talent. The last time EMU was any good, they had NFL QB Charlie Batch. Threet can't hold Batch's jock at this point. And Threet might be an academic all-american, but Batch was and is a lot smarter QB than he is.
Threet already folded under the pressure of being the UM QB. He doesn't need the pressure of trying to rebuild a terrible program like EMU.

We get it - you hate Threet. Can you move on to a new topic now?
February 18th, 2009 at 1:15 PM ^
Do you just want a private thread where you can make clever jokes about Threet going to Adrian College over and over and over again?
February 18th, 2009 at 3:00 PM ^
You do realize what fucking sack of shit you're making yourself look like, do you not?
