Derrick Green announcement thread
For those that are not among the 4900 current viewers watching the table with three hats, you can see the announcement at http://www.timesdispatch.com/sports/high-school/ . The previous thread was getting a little on the long side - continue speculation, followed by sorrow or excitement here.

I can't believe I'm watching this either. But whatever, nothing to do on a boring Saturday afternoon.
January 26th, 2013 at 4:04 PM ^
The M hat is the farthest from him and hardest to reach!

Explain what happened to those of us who couldn't watch it.
Did you just grab the M hat, or sort of do the fake reach for the others? Then he put on a UM jersey? What number?
January 26th, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
Faked a move for the M hat, then faked a move for Tennessee hat, then walked away from the table to flip a switch which lifted a projector screen which revealed an M jersey #27 (I think?) Green on the wall.
He then went back to put on the M hat, then he put on the jersey and posed for pictures

He's going to have to deal with unreasonably high expectations so let's get started. Beating Ohio State's ass and being a Heisman contending type of back is what we need. Period. He's got a great opportunity at a great school with great coaches and a tailor made offense (and suit). Go Blue Mr. Green.
