US Army All-American Bowl Open Thread
January 5th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
This game is meaningless. Why aren’t they sitting out? Especially Hill, we need him healthy in like 7 months.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:14 PM ^
He needs to showcase his talent today. That way he can sit out the next 3 years in preparation for the NFL draft.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
That was funny man.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
Black team tried a corner fade to Cornelius but it was well defended and the DB poked it out. This Mertz guy looks legit. Good get for UW.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
Graham Mertz looking good.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
4-Star WR David Bell picks up the OSU hat, puts it down, picks Purdue.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:34 PM ^
I'm pretty sure it's no longer affiliated with Army.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:42 PM ^
I thought it was sponsored by Adidas, but my guide still says US Army All-American Game. I decided to just go with the name it has been the last 20 years or so.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:43 PM ^
Well it should be. Make these guys run the triple option on two weeks notice, then we'll see who's really a 5 star.
January 5th, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
For the recruiting rankings don't matter crowd.
Four-star DB Marcus Banks commits to Alabama. Crimson Tide has 27 total commits, 26 are ranked as 4-stars or higher. Only commit not ranked as a 4-star is No. 1 kicker, Will Reichard.

Banks also gives Alabama six defensive backs ranked as a four-star at 6-foot or taller in 2019
January 5th, 2019 at 1:52 PM ^
Alabama is at the level that they recruit like that. We are not, so they staff has to dig to find talent that is underrated, hence the saying of the star doesn't matter and to trust the staff
January 5th, 2019 at 2:18 PM ^
No one forced the staff to take guys like Pesek-Hickson, Kent, Stewart, Velazquez, and Newburg. If you can land guys like Dax Hill and Chris Hinton you shouldn't have to reach for baseball and basketball players and guys with zero other power 5 offers.
Stars matter and a staff that is 0-4 against OSU and has yet to win a B1G title isn't getting my blind trust yet, sorry.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:34 PM ^
Grow a pair, Sally.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
I'd rather watch us start beating OSU and winning B1G titles.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
Same shit, different name, Maizen.
January 5th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
What do you mean us? No Michigan player, coach or fan would ever claim you.
Spoiler alert: We all want Michigan to win, it just doesn’t effect the respectable person’s fanhood if they don’t.
Not a lot of respect for people that are only fans when a team is winning.
January 5th, 2019 at 3:56 PM ^
Fandom isn't binary and the sooner you understand that the better for all involved here. And I don't need any Michigan fan, coach, or player to "claim" me as I have a Michigan degree that no one can take away. Have a blessed day though.
January 5th, 2019 at 5:00 PM ^
Have a blessed day? Ha dude, wow. #blessed
January 5th, 2019 at 3:07 PM ^
3* Baker Mayfield says "STFU"
January 5th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
The eternal starz debate continues!
January 5th, 2019 at 5:58 PM ^
Agree. Baby steps.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
I take it you're a fan of Mom and Apple Pie.
January 5th, 2019 at 3:46 PM ^
Looks like maizen is back again
January 5th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
I agree let’s be Alabama but still Michigan.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:19 PM ^
fuck off maizen
January 5th, 2019 at 2:35 PM ^
I wouldn't exactly call it a "crowd".
January 5th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
I automatically skip your posts now as I’m not interested in your whiny-ass takes
January 5th, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
For the sanctimonious prick crowd - F You.

Well Michigan won't hand out illegal benefits and hasn't won championships, so we are going to have to rely on hitting on under-evaluated talent at times...
here's a fun fact, not every player to go in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft is a 4-star + player. I think the coaches have done pretty well at identifying under-evaluated talent and turning that into a competitive team on the field.
Michigan isn't going to take the Georgia route and payout families and players to achieve immediate success. Either accept it and support the program, or don't and jump off the band-wagon.
It's stupid to try and compare Michigan's approach to recruiting to someone like Georgia/Bama/hell probably even OSU.
They've chosen to win with integrity. That takes longer and I, along with most fans, am okay with that.
January 6th, 2019 at 5:15 AM ^
Clemson also has more 3*s than they have 4* and 5*s combined. Take THAT rankings matter guys.

Beautiful. Where has he been all my life?
January 5th, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
Wandale Robinson looks good. Talent level hopefully increasing in the other side of the division.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
Khris Bogle has 88% of the Ballz to Miami anddddd he's going to Bama. Classic.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:35 PM ^
Are you gonna cry? Seriously why don't you cry yourself to sleep and let the big kids post here.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
You guys make this board unreadable.
January 6th, 2019 at 2:02 AM ^
They are so much worse than the people they complain about on a daily basis and they don't even realize it.
January 5th, 2019 at 3:50 PM ^
Let's hope the mods ban this account soon
January 5th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
When people don't watch the national championship game anymore that's when things will change. Plain and simple as that. NCAA will see to it once the ratings start declining and the money goes away. Plain and simple.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
Rattler's going to be a stud
January 5th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
With a name like that, he better be. Just sayin.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
I tuned in just in time to see a Bama commit fest. Booooo!
January 5th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
You starting watching in September?
January 5th, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
Kyle Ford commitment coming up. I'll eat a bag of.... no better not.
January 5th, 2019 at 2:16 PM ^
I see Kyle Ford’s hats out on the table.
Is it fair to even have an M hat out when he hasn’t visited?
