1 week 2 days ago I move that we should only

I move that we should only refer to him as Tom Issac from now on.
1 week 5 days ago I've always thought that

I've always thought that playing professional sports in Europe would just be the best job ever for a 20-something American. Get to live in an exciting new culture for a few years, actually have some money (not a ton, but more than a backpacker) to travel and live it up, play a game for work, not have any real pressure on you (assuming you're not playing soccer). Go east young man.
2 weeks 4 days ago This is just damage control

This is just damage control by Papa Anzalone. His initial statements were pretty strong, and once he realized the fallout he wanted to get the spotlight off of him and his family. In cases like this, I'll trust the initial reaction over the post-hoc politically correct one.
2 weeks 5 days ago I'd like to see a big turnout

I'd like to see a big turnout for U-M at the NFTC in Champaign, IL next month. Hopefully this experience will motivate LTT, and he, Bosch, and some of the other MI and OH guys can get invites out to Oregon. There's a chance for some historic publicity for U-M in this class's exploits. 
2 weeks 5 days ago With the major caveat of not

With the major caveat of not saving seen the event, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they gave an MVP to Price just to appease the local Buckeye fans. There probably would've been a riot if Taco, Dawson, and McCray all took honors and all the Ohio commits were shut out.
2 weeks 5 days ago The impressive thing about

The impressive thing about Dawon is that he's dominating in an environment that vastly favors the defensive player. He's a beast. I love that he's competing so much and has the confidence of a great one.

Hey, Mr. Rogers was a good man! You chose the avatar, anyway.

It's disturbing that a registered sex offender has this kind of access to recruits during university visits, but I think people need to settle down a little about these recruits being in "danger" of a short fat little 31-year-old who looked at kiddy porn. I think it's more likely that Anzalone and others have been getting what they know to be improper benefits from toads like this and it's made them feel dirty.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Urban Meyer and his laisse-faire, flashy, Pete-Carroll-like approach to college coaching is a perfect fit for OSU. And, yes, shit like this story is a symptom of that approach. Kids who are simply looking for a ticket to the NFL will go to OSU under Meyer. Solid character kids who also happen to be excellent football players will come to Michigan under Hoke. There is a qualitative different betweent the schools and the football programs. Hoke's genuine, low-profile, team-first approach is perfect for Michigan.
2 weeks 6 days ago Makes sense. I'm not

Makes sense. I'm not complaining over the turnout at all, but given that we already have 15 (!) verbals from MI, OH, and IL kids, it'd be pretty awesome for them all to descend on this competition and just dominate it. It'd be a great publicitiy for U-M and would relegate the handful of Ohio commits to the backpage. 
2 weeks 6 days ago Other recruits

I'm curious why only a fraction of our MI and OH recruits are going to be present at this event. No Conley, Shallman, Gedeon, Dukes, etc. Does anyone know: do those guys not have invitations or do they just decide not to attend? It guess it would make sense if they didn't see a lot of value in participating in something like this after already wrapping up their recruitment, but it'd be cool to see the comradery of having all the local guys there.
