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.

But yeah, happy to donate.

Yeah, we know what happened there...Lewan made a call that wasn't heard, Clowney slipped inside real quick, etc. We should be proud that that little dude named Vinny Smith ate that gigantic hit like it was nothing. I know he fumbled, but it would have been a miracle if he hadn't. Toughest SOB on the team. Damn proud he wore the winged helmet for 4 years.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

can do.
February 23rd, 2013 at 2:21 AM ^
Congratulations!
You are now an official backer of C2C - Vincent Smith teaches Painting (pilot). Time to tell the world about it!

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.

But I'm in regardless.

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.

Pretty good MGoBump yesterday.
February 23rd, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Boom, I'm in. Only for $2, but he won't accept payment in Bugles or coffee.
February 23rd, 2013 at 3:16 PM ^
Someone cue the Vincent Smith blitz pickup gif plz.
I would do it but I'm too technically inept for enbeds and things of that sort.

We have passed $1500 mark. Less than $1000 to go! Nice MGoBump!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
