I am not up to par on this "blogging" like most of you are, I read something and respond before I think it through. And as I find out more facts, I look back at previous comments I have made and shake my head. I have 20 "points" what do you expect. A friend of mine here in Bagram said something and referred to Mgoblog, so I figured since I made this account way back when I would actually use it and give me something to do in down time. Next time I will try to make a valid comment so I don't upset the masses.
With the fact that we had prior interest in him and vice versa, it turns a "a PSU CB decommit got offered by Michigan" into "a former Michigan CB target has interest in us again".
Sorry my previous post was based on there was no past relationship or interest entered both parties. And we just offered him because he was a 4* DB.
How many spots do we even have left, I thought we were down to a few spots left. Do we even have the room to take on decommits and our original targets?
It comes down to what the coaches and players want. They are the one who determines the success of the team. And stickers or not everyone of you will still watch Saturday. What do they have to lose?
Not that I would want him at UofM, but I was hoping the PSU players would stay with in the conference. I enjoyed watching Silas Redd, better then OHiO I guess.
And age. The recruits love them, the players love them, the fans only have to look at them. I like them, it's better then the stripes and it's one game. I can't wait to see them live and on the players. You might not like them now, but with a pair of dreads down the back on a 50 yard TD run I bet none of you will care.
your point, and it would be hard for me to just start rooting for another team. But like others, my ties to the University came from the football team. From there it split off into all directions, supporting the other teams and groups and what use to be a fandom for a football team turned into a love for a University. With that said, Bo is and was a huge factor and "anchor" in what Michigan meant to me. If something were to come out that a similar cover up was pointed back to him, it would just shake up everything. Thus, questioning everything I use to think and believe in. I don't think I could root for another team, especially with the passion I have for Michigan. I was just curious what others would do, if they would just stick through it and look to better days.
I didn't know the hire dates, and that changes my thought completely. I was under the impression they were talking about contracts and jobs before any of this was released. I haven't followed this whole process too closely, so ignore my ignorance.
I use to love the whole, they are bad boys, and play a little dirty. Throw some fear into the opponents, but now its just annoying. I want to see some play off success, and it won't happen until the "extra curricular" shit stops.
If he were more of a solid player, I would be a little happier about this. But to be honest, wasn't he gone after this year anyways? And he wasn't exactly that big of a piece on the defense. He was potentially a starter at one of the CB slots, but still the guy was unreliable on the field and off (obviously). So I am not impressed at all by them releasing him, anything short of releasing him would have been unacceptable. The real question is, why is all this happening? Is it a lack of control from Jim Schwartz, or is it this bad boy moniker? Do they preach being "Us vs The World" and acting like bad asses on the field and some just take it too seriously off the field? Or is it just the fact that everyone in the organization is basically young for their positions, Schwartz, Mayhew, Suh, etc.
The point of my post is, how is this still going on? I see no improvement.
What would you do if you were a die hard CFB fan and this got thrown on your favorite team/alma mater. Would you hang your head low and suffer through the years, or jump ship and try to find fandom in another team?
Personally, if Michigan were to have sanctions like this, and with how sensitive this matter is(children being involved) I don't know how I could wear those colors in public.
But what time is this supposed to all come out? What time tomorrow morning?
What does this mean for the coaches? I see how the student athletes have the freedom to leave, but what about the newly hired coaches? Would you continue to keep that position knowing this is falling on you?
What a joke. From last years "twitter rampage" to the multiple arrests. I don't understand what I'd going through his mind and what type of people he surrounds himself with. I say just cut his weak ass.
Breaking the bat or not, I've always been impressed with him hitting 100 when he is in the late innings. But after throwing 116 pitches, he can hit the radar that hot. It's ridiculous. Some pitchers can't even hit 100, and some can't even make it to 100 pitches effectively. But he constantly does both. I'm curious how long he will be able to keep this up, definition of work horse. Looking back, once he retires, he is going to have one impressive career. And we all got to witness it from start to finish.
I know which team I will be rooting for, it would be nice to see him go off and have a huge year. Like Junior, I was always really excited to see if he can make a name for himself at the next level. He seems to be all heart on the football field, it's ashame how everything ended at michigan. But he got his degree and he still has a year left to play at top BCS level football. I'm glad it worked out this way for him, I'm going to miss #22
So with the Tigers finally making ground, a game and half back, and some key bats heating up (Most notably Boesch's) how does everyone feel?
I know we have been rumored with this and that player, but who does everyone actually want to land? On the twittershpere people seemed excited about a possible Infante return, Darwin Barney, Stephen Drew/Ryan Roberts, or you name one of the pitchers out there. So I ask you, as we try to take the division lead back, do you want any certain player/pitcher or are you hoping the bats stay lively to finish the year? Not sure if this is thread jacking but with a huge series in the Division race about to start, it seems to go with this topic. Plus I have 3 points, so you know n00bs be n00bs.
Just the other day I was thinking, that in 'x' years I will be staring up at the ceiling above my death bed. Wondering to myself, shit where did all the time go. Life goes by fast, and sometimes it seems unfair. And then a moment like this happens, and you just realize "Tomorrow is not guarenteed".
It is a terrifying thought, and sickening to think of how people can do things like this. The memories and years taken away from the people and children (a six year old?!) in this unthinkable incident. My prayers go out to the families involved, and also to all of yours. May nothing like this happen to any of us, life is already too short.
Mine hasn't started yet, and the next time I get on I will send you friend request so I can get you in on the dynasty. As of right now I have 4 people for sure in on it, and potentially 7 including myself and you.
If anyone else wants to join send me an email at amaizenblue2 at hotmail dot com.
I have potentially, not including myself, 3 people to join this as well. From what I've read, and assume from one of your posts, we could get a pretty good dynasty going on. Might as well do a pure one conference dynasty, all big ten/whatever else. I'm game either way, Heisman setting though. Anything less is stat padding settings, too easy. Email me though man amaizenblue2 at hotmail dot com. Or anyone else interested.
