Vincent Smith Kickstarter could use some MGOhelp

I got the Hope for Pohakee kickstarter update tonight and saw that Martavious linked Vincent Smith' new project. It seems that Smith is seeking funds to start teaching art classes in Pohakee which is great. I remember a post and article from over the summer that mentioned something about Smith and his art.

Can't say I'm the biggest art buff, but I support what Smith is trying to do. MGOBLOG has been great at getting these kickstarters going and helping an ex-player is pretty cool too. 

Here is the link:

Also remember this guy almost got killed by Clowney, least you could do is donate a couple of bucks.

C'mon man...end the Clowney

C'mon man...end the Clowney thing already. It's been overdone x10000 by ESPN already. Any rational fan knows exactly what happened there...



But yeah, happy to donate.

Agreed

Agreed. Let's just put that to rest.

And it's always great to be able to help out a fellow Michigan Man, especially one like Vincent Smith.

As a Michigan fan, the first

As a Michigan fan, the first thing that pops into my head when people mention Smith is not the Clowney thing, but his awsome throwback screen run into the endzone against Notre Dame during UTL.

C'mon Michigan fans, he has plenty of cool highlights to focus on.

As Michigan fans we will

As Michigan fans we will defend Smith and always point out that a blocking assignment was missed but that doesn't change the fact that college football fan will always remember when Clowney hit that guy from Michigan and his helmet flew ten yards.

What people seem to forget...

And maybe I imagined it because no one ever refers to it.  But wasn't another (earlier) highlight of that game when Clowney had to leave the game briefly because of some affront to his groin area?  And wasn't it V. Smith who caused the offending collision (perhaps with his now-famous helmet)? 

I'd appreciate someone with film replay capabilities to confirm or refute.  If true, I think these two events should forever be linked in football lore. 

V. Smith.  Our beloved Little Big Man.

You are correct

I found a site with a gif but it didn't load.  There is a brief article about his block tho so at least there's that.

I'm not sure non-South

I'm not sure non-South Carolina fans will "always" remember it.  It was a big story for a couple of days and then it died down.  Next year there will be new big hits that get replayed over and over.

Done And Done...

Done and done. I had to laugh at the "TL;DR" description he put at the end of the page - he has a very MGoBlog-ish sense of humor there. In any case, it's an awesome idea and I will never shirk at opportunities to give to the MGoCommunity.

With how art classes are

With how art classes are losing their funding, epically here in FL, I think this is an a,aging idea. Hope it gets its funding!

I know I'm probably a turrible person for saying it, but I wish Vinny would have offered a signed postcard as a price like Tae did, that was a no brainer! Now i have to think about what kind of wristband I want, mann

Well, there may not be postcards but there are various posters and canvas prints of VS's artwork to choose from.  I went for the two 11 x 17 prints, myself.  That is a bit larger than I would have liked, but I am sure I can find a place for them.
