Who do you think this quote can be attributed to?
Q: What's the worst thing about Michigan?
A: "The people. Actually, how disgustingly ugly the women are. It's awful. It's disgraceful. There were more good-looking women at my high school. It was awful."
Comes from an anonymous survey of the exiting football Seniors. There is also some interesting info in there about how many liked Rich Rod.
(Freep Link)
RVB?
Somebody broke up with his girlfriend recently.
I'm not touching it.
Justin Boren??
Has to come from someone out of state
Free Press; didn't read
it's a copy of the ESPN Insider piece that was discused yesterday.
Half the article was published yesterda (short form yes/no answers) and stuff about Rodriguez
The part with the quote in question was a free form long answer set of questions posted today
I didn't go to school at Michigan but I have been to many games and been in AA quite a bit. Of course AA has it's share of uglies but so does every place else. I can honestly say in my experience in AA that the women are just fine. There isn't a supermodel on every corner or anything like that but the women are plenty good looking. I find comments like that ridiculous.
I never got the whole "no good looking girls at Michigan" thing. There are plenty. Seriously, go take a stroll through campus on a warm day. The fact that they aren't all dancing on tables every night and generally being prostitutes must be a turn off to the brosephs who typically spout this nonsense.
"The fact that they aren't all dancing on tables every night and generally being prostitute"
You were just hanging out at the wrong places, I guess.
Seriously. He''s clearly never been to Rick's.
Definitely not dancing on tables EVERY night, that'd be exhausting. Thursday-Saturday at most, maybe another weekday if you're a senior.
I'm curious as to why you would downvote the OP?
Edit: I wasn't trying to "flame" anyone or "bait" anyone to engage in a flame thread. I was trying to understand this board phenomena of down voting threads who's content is unpalatable albeit factual. Especially when the OP is clearly not a proponent. Apparently shooting the messenger is alive and well in the 21st century.
No wonder you like Mike so much, you and him have high standards.
I agree. Plus, if you think the women at Michigan are bad, go spend a day at the University of Chicago.
Anyone who has studied at UM can verify this quote.
I think I should clarify that this goes for the dudes just as much as the dudettes.
DOWNVOTES AHOY!
So, in general, are you saying my wife, my mom, my mother-in-law and my grandmother are all ugly (we are all graduates)? Good Humor (kinda, sorta - not really)!
EDIT: And now I'm ugly too!
You probably ARE ugly, but not because Uniqenam says so.
/teasing
but I got a lot of DOUGH which makes up for my looks. (avatar pun intended)
:)
Dude, bragging about your bank account is so classless.
Was he talking about money?
His meat and his heat, respectively
There are certain exceptions, my mother and wife being among them.
"If you go to UoM you're ugly...
...Unless of course you're important to me. Then you're not ugly."
Is what I read from this.
Well then you didn't read it
This is typical freep trolling.
haha AA is does not offer the hottest girls on the planet, but I hate to break this dude's bubble, our graduating senior class wasnt a bunch of Fabio's in their own right....
Isn't the freep aware of our no reposting premium content rule? I'm joking but it is pretty weird for a newspaper to cannibalize a premium internet blog right? (I know ESPN is a large news outlet but WN seems more like a blog.)
If someone had posted that much Insider info on the board, I would have deleted the thread and brought down the full wrath of my powerless shaming. Stay Classy and Non-Infringing, Freep...
Does that surprise you, the freep doesnt report news, it steals insider info from espn.
They could have paid ESPN to use the material...
which we are all entitled to: the men are uglier.
I'll be the first to agree with you. I was totally unattracted to every single one of the dudes.
Of course you were. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Not even the ones on Glee Club?? You must have a heart of stone.
Nope, although Dianna Agron is pretty hot.
Oh, you're talking about guys? Gross.
I guess they could be like this, though.

Not a one . . . Babes only for this guy!

I knew not to believe you! You were just drunk and horny!
Leaving aside what motivated the player to say this (assuming it's accurately quoted), why the hell would the Free Press reporter include this quote?* Whether the player was recently dumped, bitter about his experience at Michigan, incredibly immature, or trying to be funny, it's just plain mean-spirited to repeat this in the Free Press article as a representative quote from the football team. It's not fair to the football team, and it's not fair to the student body.
Not that the Free Press sports staff acting like a bunch of dickheads is exactly a newsflash. Especially in the context of anonymous sources "reporting" about the football team.
*Rhetorical question, of course. It's always about the click, and padding the old Freep resume for that dream job at the New York Post.
I'll bite
Your response is just simly untrue and not only unfair as a representitive of the readership at mgoblog, but unfair to the football team, unfair to the Universtiy, unfair to Dave Brandon, and unfair to the rest of the civilized world.
How could you bring the name of the Freep down like this. Whar are you? Some Drew Sharp style hack poster.
I just can't believe the irresponsible behavior you have shown here posting on an anonymous message board.
You think maybe he was motivated to say this because it was an honest answer?
My Lucy Liu-Bot begs to differ:
I was going to write a scathing letter to the freep but instead I'm just going to stay in and make out withmy Marilyn Monrobot.
Why is the Freep summarizing an ESPN Insider article by Rothstein?
