Ferns offered by Alabama as H-back (Per Steve Lorenz)
Our first 14' commit, Michael Ferns, has been offered by Saban as an H-back. Brady and co. have certainly done a great job of discovering talents.
Quoted content came directly from Steve Lorenz (free information)
Saban called the St. Clairsville coach today looking to talk to Michael, whom he eventually got on the phone with, mostly by chance. A long story short, Saban grew up in West Virginia and knows a lot of people connected to the Ferns family (grandfather, etc.), which is how the conversation began. Saban then offered Ferns a scholarship, somewhat surprisingly, as an H-Back TE. It's a total non-issue.
The Ferns' were concerned that one of the local sites would try to make something out of this, which it looks like they have. As you would assume, it's nothing but another notch on Michael's belt as far as scholarships go. He has a lot more than have been reported, but hasn't really bothered talking to coaches from other teams and has gone as far as telling his coach to tell other programs to stop coming by Saint Clairsville to stop wasting their time.
And who is Alamaba?
its that Ritchie Valens song, a-la la la la la maba
to be fair I think ricardo miller predated shane morris in this position
coming from a guy who had a fortune article devoted to his "process" and has time so precious that he has a remote control to open his door so he can save the few seconds from having to get up from his desk. . . .
Did Ferns attempt to recruit Saban to be our LBs coach?
"Nah coach. I'm not interested in Alabama..... but Michigan is looking to replace a position coach, which would be a step up from your current gig. What do you think?"
Ferns should use the "if you really want to coach me then come to Michigan and take the vacant coaching spot" line...
I think they're coach is Sanab. Their located somewhat near Aunurb University. There tradition of football excellence is unmatched by other college's.
EDIT: Of course, the OP changed the thread title, thereby making my extremely witty comment seem offtopic. For those of you who missed out on the fun, the OP's original thread title referred to "Alamaba."
Just getting nerdy in here?
I think that milestone was passed long ago.
Nerdy? I never really thought about it, but yes, yes it is.
I haven't read it in many years, but Catch-22 is a fascinating book. Definitely very fun to read. Is it your favorite?
The whole post was meant to be sarcastic, but then it took a turn for the worse when the OP fixed his mistake.
The multiple errors in the post were done on purpose. The whole they're their there thing - as well as using an ' in plural words - has become a bit of a running commentary on the board.
I'll put my tail between my legs for my ill-fated attempt at humor. This also proves that the joke isn't funny if you have to explain it.
I've seen this story before. Next January Ferns is going to go on a trip to Alabama to visit his childhood friend Trey DePriest, and then he's going to be incommunicado for a couple weeks...
Meh.
Wow.
Unfortunately I most likely wouldn't be able to do her regardless of all those things :(
.....you threw "most likely" in there so as to not completely rule it out.
Of course, as a Lions fan I'm an eternal optimist, despite every possible piece of evidence stacked against.
billionaire French hubby probably paid for those...but damn at 45 she is unreal
You had this-
It helps when you have something to work with.
What a gorgeous estate!
Would.
hey guys dont worry this story isnt even true. my ohio friends told me Hoke cant recruit so there is no way bama would be after one of our kids.
Don't let them borrow your cooler.
If you search 'cooler pooper' the following comes up:

Originating from a 2005 college football game between the the Texas Longhorns and the Ohio State Buckeyes which was overcrowded to the point that fans resorted to pooping in their coolers.

Ferns should send Saban a custom t-shirt that says "Hells" on the front and "No" on the back.
Well played.
