Hello Mgoblog I wanted to update you
Hello Mgoblog
I finally made my own account and I would like to thank everyone who supported my Art Day. I did our first art class at my old elementary school, Pahokee Elementary, and it was a success and I wanted to give a special thanks to my backers. I wanted to do something for the kids to show them that there is different things they can do and have differnt ways to be creative. They liked the day a lot, created some paintings, and I think it went really well and is something I would like to continue because its a good way to give the kids something to take their mind of the Florida State Testing and also to give inspiration and for me to be a positive role model to the community.
One of the things Tae and I are doing with our project is connecting my community with my U of M community and thats why Mgoblog is helpful because theres so many resources and its a new way to connect us and working together we can change things like we have been working towards.
You can ask me any questions.
I also have a question about if anyone is able to help me out with my paperwork that could direct so I can set up more Art days and it would be a great thing and big help teampahokee@gmail

Thank you and I really appreciate it. I really work my hardest and it pays off. I just be having fun. The toughness I get it from my mom.
I will let you know about the paintings and when I have time.
Vince, thank you for all you've done for Michigan, Florida, & the people around you. It hurts when you want to root for guys on your team that don't "play" in life as well as they do on the field so it is awesome to see so many current & former UM players like you & Tae who make it so easy to root for you. Keep it up & Go Blue!
Thanks for your support and we hope that you can make it over sometime to the Garden.
After a season, someone asked Alonzo Stagg if that was the best team he'd ever coached. He said, "Ask me again in 20 years when I can see what kind of men they've become." He wouldn't need to wait nearly that long for you. You are a good man.
My silly question for you: it's pretty rare that we get to pick the brain of a guy with your knowledge and insider status. What are you most looking forward to seeing from our 2013 team? Thanks in advance and thanks for your good work.
I am looking forward to seeing the team accomplish their goals of winning the Big Ten championship this upcoming season.
The team really looks good. The team looks balanced from the offense and defense and the guys are really working hard.
I am looking forward to beating Ohio.
"I am looking forward to beating Ohio."
Mods, please give this man a million mgopoints.
Also, do you and Tae have a link for donations beyond the Kickstarter you guys had? I am not proud to admit I missed that one and want to make up for it.
You are right about that and that is what my mom always tells me, you can't forget where you come from.
How cool is it that former players are on our blog? I mean seriously? When I try to justify my obsession with the Mgoblog to other people this is definitely going to be one of my first points.
By the way, best of luck on your project to you and Tae. I hope it really goes well.
There's actually quite a few former players, more lurkers than contributors. Team 123 is particularly well-represented here.
Team 123 is particularly well-represented here.Cue idle speculation. Another shameless post by Seth to generate site clicks. /s
It seems like Pahokee got it right with you an Tae, and I couldnt be more proud to call you guys Wolverines.
I've just upvoted every single one of these posts. Pos Bang for everyone! Also, keep up the good work Fingergunz.
You delivering a positive message paired with a much needed break from the unfair rigors of state standardized testing is such an incredible thing.
Continue your good work, the kids need it.
Thanks, and Go Blue!
Thank you so much and I wanted to give back always and I think this is a good way of doing it.
You were my favorite player over the last 4 years. Couldn't be more proud of what I've seen out of you and Tae'. Ever consider working as an art teacher after football? Seems like you have a knack for working with kids and passion for art.
Wish you the best of luck!
Thank you and I really found a passion for Art and I plan on continuing doing it. I have not consider it but maybe one day I would consider teaching Art and being a teacher.
Thank you and no I haven't considered that.
What you and Mr Odoms are doing is very admirable and without a doubt, these are the things that real Michigan Men do! God bless you!
Thanks for the effort. That TD vs. OSU in that third quarter... that celebration. I feel that...
Thank you and I really felt good about that play and it was a great touch down and a key moment in the game.
Great job, and thanks for your efforts.
I teach physics, chemistry, computer science, some engineering - so if you ever want to reach out to the kids with anything along those lines, I can share some lesson plans or ideas.
Cool. Thank you that would be a really good help
Thank you for your effort on the field, I hope you know that it didn't go unnoticed.
Thank you its good to know because it is something I am passionate about.
V. Smith, you are a strong dude. You came to work every game, didnt matter what the team asked you to do, you put 175% everytime, thats why we all loved you.....and you help make Notre Dame fans cry when you scored on that swing pass
Last time I had a one on one talk with a Michigan player was Jerret Irons so I need to update my resume
Hail!
Thank you I was really excited about that touchdown pass and I would have had the game winning touchdown but if the defense could have held their lines but we won the game and it will go down in history.
You just made my day.
We as Michigan Men it is all about the team and we pride ourselves on helping eachother make a program a huge success.
Devin Garden is a hard worker and loves to put the team on his back.
Happy that it is working out so well. It's great work what you are doing Mr. Smith.
i live in miami and im really happy to have some fellow wolverines here with me.
Michigan players, due to his toughness, work ethic, and class. A Michigan Man who showed what a Wolverine is and should be. May the Force be with you Mr. Smith, et al.
Way to go. This is awesome of you to do this. I wish you the best in the future and your continuation of this.
