Big Michigan Football Surprise?
@M_Ferns10 Big surprise gonna be released tomorrow for all current and future#Michigan commits.
M commit Michael Ferns.
HELLO post to come? I'm excited so I am fully buckled. However, I could see a new uniform.
[Ed-Ace: I'm told it's not a commitment. Still good news, though.]

I'm outraged!!!

February 14th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
They're like piranha.
February 14th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Never heard of the guy but I appreciate him. Anyone that can take the spotlight away from me goes down in the "friend" column for me.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
Oh wait...that's been done. (A little 80s nostalgia for you all).
February 14th, 2013 at 1:26 PM ^
that happened in the early 90s.
February 14th, 2013 at 6:12 PM ^
song was def 80s though, maybe it works for both decades. A protest song that makes you want to get off your arse and ... ahem, dance:
February 14th, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
February 14th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
Dave Brandon has signed a sponsorship agreement with Auto Direct.
Finally.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
All Maize Uniform?
February 14th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
February 14th, 2013 at 12:49 PM ^
February 14th, 2013 at 12:56 PM ^
Maize helmets w/ blue wings.
February 14th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
matte maize
February 14th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Hoke is going to finally get involved in recruiting and actually start talking to the players directly?
February 14th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
February 14th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
Basically.
Yesterday some random douchenozzle went on a rant saying (in essence) that Hoke needed to get off his lazy ass and actually start recruiting kids instead of just waiting for them to find Michigan on their own and send in their LOI.
It would hilarious if he wasn't actually....you know...serious.
February 14th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
...had not deleted that one. I made the first snarky comment, moved on to other things, and didn't get back to it until the thread was toast.
February 14th, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
I'd like to know who the one user that upvoted that thread was.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
I know, it sucks missing the good stuff!
February 14th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Nope. It stems from the fact that nobody here has actually SEEN Hoke have dinner with recruits and their families. He's totally making it up to sound cool.
February 14th, 2013 at 2:25 PM ^
write all those personal letters? How's he supposed to hold a pen when he's always pointing?
EDIT: Sorry for overlapping ideas, Dutch. Hadn't read that far.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
never gonna happen!
February 14th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
He just points.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Brady Hoke is announcing he will start being a primary recruitor, obviously. That one MGoBoard post clearly swayed him.
Edit: Damn, beaten by seconds.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
My guess. It's a contract extension for Hoke. Perhaps a reaction to negative recruiting suggesting Hoke is going to the pro's.
Or.
Mattison is getting a Twitter account.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
Wait, did I miss something? Do people seriously think Hoke might go to the NFL?
February 14th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
I don't think so, but didn't a recruit recently mention that he was told this by OSU? It was in a thread last week I think.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
I guess I missed that. it's actually really funny that they're trying to sell recruits garbage like that..
February 14th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
rumors being spread by other coaches was the general opinion.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Its obviously someone Ferns is recruiting himself... wasnt he and Speight hounding Drake Harris and/or some defensive player ? I cannot remember who it was but recall reading he was recruiting someone hard.
My money would be on MASON COLE committing.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Definitely not Drake Harris. Word has it that he's a lock to UK.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
Well I figure its one of these ... COLE, WEISHAR, BERGER, HAND, SCOTT.... from his twitter activity
@WiltonSpeight committed today, which on of you boys are next?@MasonCole52 @NicWeishar89 @K_Bergs @TheHand54@ArtavisScott7
February 14th, 2013 at 1:21 PM ^
Ferns has been tweeting at Mason Cole a bunch:
@masoncole52 on a side note, when we gonna get you on the commit list?

The only logical conclusion is that Brandon is going to start cross-marketing sports. The football team will wear basketball jerseys over shoulder pads and baggy shorts while the basketball team will sport football jerseys and lucha libre style masks imitating the winged helmet. .
February 14th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
My honest guess would be uniform, night game, or someone put on the schedule because I do not know why future commits would care about player X.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
He's going to recruit his own players, with blackjack and hookers.
/Futurama'd
February 14th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
...In fact...forget the recruiting!
February 14th, 2013 at 12:51 PM ^
Hookers you say? Keep Craig James Away!
February 14th, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
ALLEGEDLY!
February 14th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
I predict the surprise will be absolutely nothing, or something nobody here will be excited about.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
February 14th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
With all the upgrades to the other athletic venues, closing in the South End Zone sounds about right. The North end zone in 5 years.
February 14th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
David Dawson must have hacked Michael's twitter.
February 14th, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
Magnus says David Dawson isn't that good, should I be worried? Why did we sign him again?
February 14th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
And cash and cars for 5 stars or Rivals 250?
February 14th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
