This list is completely arbitrary and not a genuine analysis of the relative merits of state fossils.
Uh-oh. #27 is taken??
HOLY CRAP GUYS. Jeez, I thought this was a legitimate topic to discuss, but I guess all the downvotes means I misfired.
I guess no one thinks Green will transfer because he doesn't get to wear #27 or the Freep won't write a story about how Michigan coaches made a poor helpless walk-on give up his number for Green.
I guess I'm the only one worried slightly worried this could be a problem.
Carry on, then.

Dont worry about it, people just post to hate to be "cool".
Yes, you are WAAAAAY overthinking this. Lay off the drink tonight. Think of the children. No one in their right mind would transfer because they couldn't get a certain number.
What about Shane Morris? What if he doesn't get his high school number? What if a walk-on has it?
C'mon man. You can't be that drunk or that naive to think this is an issue.
Don't be pissed because you thought you uncovered or found something and it turned out to be nothing more than shit.
When has this EVER been an issue? Someone transferring over a number? The FREEP sucks, but even they think your "scoop" sucks.

I've wanted a physical number 6 in the backfield ever since my favorite running back left.
what the fuck. How many walkons are wearing the same numbers as scholarship players? Who gives a fuck. He will probably wear # fucking 27 because the other 27 will not be on the field when Green is. What the titty fucking hell.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.

as in this NEVER happens between 100+ players on 250+ CFB teams
This is probably one of the most pointless threads in the history of the internet. Please don't inflict your thoughts on us anymore. Thanks.
Man, when you guys hate, you guys really hate.

You've been here at least a year and a half. If you haven't figured that out until now, I forgive you for making this thread...
Not really. This thread still sucks.
EDIT: Changed atleast to at least because I know what is accepted here and what isn't.
I seriously thought it was worthy of discussion. I just I'm just super fucking paranoid that kids will transfer because of the stupidest reasons.
Clearly if no one is worried and thinks Green will stay here forever and ever (because we've never had players leave) then yeah this thread seems pretty pointless.

Can't say I've ever heard of a transfer due to jersey # being taken by another player, let alone a walkon.
You're right about that at least. The mgo is both an extremely charitable (see: #eating/Pahokee garden) and at the same time cruel and fickle (see: this and any other borderline pointless or repeat thread) community. It's quite a duality, really.
But chin up. No matter how dumb these comments say this is, they still don't hate you as much as they hate Section One.

This IS a huge problem. I will be sweating a transfer until he graduates..
But is Hoke involved in the recruiting process?
I guess that rules out the possibility that we'll both be on the field at the same time.
#36 is taken. My dad and my brother wore that in high school, I'm sure if they were going to Michigan to play they wouldn't be upset.
Because it's freaking Michigan!
Where's the drinking thread? I thought for sure this would be it!
So dumb I'll say it again...um, no? Someone get me a Good Burger gif pronto.

the players wear the jersey the equipment guy gives them.
kids aren't donating money to some charity in order to have the bench players give their numbers to the stars.

Is this really a thread? I thought you were better than this MGoBlog.
Let the kid get on campus, qualifiy and make the team before we talk about jersey numbers.

I thought #27 was a QB assignment. The Don Moorhead Legends jersey:

Come on, man. Is this seriously a thread? If he ditches because of a jersey number, he should never have committed here.
But if he doesn't get 27, there's plenty of other great options. Taking 20 for Mike Hart, 23 for Chris Perry, or 32 for the A-Train would be good starting points.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk




No. Ignore it first then bitch afterwards is not what he was trying to say.
