Wish him the best.
December 6th, 2016 at 6:13 PM ^
At first I thought the other title said Purdue, and I was sad.
December 7th, 2016 at 9:17 AM ^
My second thought was maybe I'll have a shot at Kelly Kapowski now.
December 6th, 2016 at 6:07 PM ^
I am sad it never really worked out for him here. But I think I can speak for us all when I say, "Nothing but the very best in the future, Shane!"
December 6th, 2016 at 6:09 PM ^
Didn't see this coming... oh Morris?...nvm
Put him in the Ricardo Miller bin for fan favorites that did nothing
December 6th, 2016 at 6:22 PM ^
Geez--did Shane steal your girlfriend or something?
December 6th, 2016 at 6:31 PM ^
Yup and farted on his pillow giving him pink eye back in 2013. It was legendary.
December 6th, 2016 at 8:40 PM ^
The bar is low here for upvoted jokes.
December 6th, 2016 at 8:44 PM ^
That's gross. How was this upvoted ? Also seems illegal.
December 6th, 2016 at 9:22 PM ^
It's the truth
December 6th, 2016 at 9:21 PM ^
That's funny 901 P, because just around the corner from 901, where they lived on Vaughn, I was giving his housemate/roommate Jake B my spiel about how I thought Shane had been fucked at Michigan by all the circumstances and the ways he was and wasn't handled, etc. So Jake said, well as his roommate I can definitely say he was................ by co-ed's many, many times!
So yeah, that probably DID happen to this clown!
December 6th, 2016 at 6:27 PM ^
Do not say he did nothing for this place.
December 6th, 2016 at 7:22 PM ^
Yes he does. Here is to Michigan getting a huge lead and Morris comes in to finally throw that elusive TD pass.
December 6th, 2016 at 11:30 PM ^
hard for the 2012 class that pretty much was our team this year. Half (11!!) of our starters were in that class. Quite a class that Shane deserves some credit for. Wish he could have experienced more success himself, but wish him the best. A true Wolverine.
December 6th, 2016 at 6:33 PM ^
Hey, look everybody! A real live asshole!
December 6th, 2016 at 6:48 PM ^
That was a good day.
December 6th, 2016 at 6:45 PM ^
Any other player you would like to shit on, please go ahead as you did a fine job impaling Shane. When your done, tell us about your illustrious college career.
WTF!
December 6th, 2016 at 6:46 PM ^
LOL, you could have said that much more diplomatically. Ha! But I get it...most of the people I really wanted to succeed flopped or didn't live up to expectations. Will Campbell, Shane Morris, Ricardo Miller, Marvin Robinson, Derek Green...I thought these young men would be big time difference makers. I wish Shane all the best and hope most of all he succeeds off the football field where everyone eventually lands. Well wishes Mr. Morris.
December 6th, 2016 at 7:16 PM ^
dont know anything about it personally, but have not heard great things from 2 separate De La Salle classmates. One thing that stuck with me is that both said Morris cuts corners and has entitlement issues. Could be hearsay, or just haters, but both sources were also college athletes.
December 6th, 2016 at 7:41 PM ^
But if you don't know him personally, you probably shouldn't be spreading rumors based on hearsay. On the other hand, it is just a sports blog. I just always felt bad for Shane I guess.
December 6th, 2016 at 7:44 PM ^
but it's hard to believe a corner-cutter would still be part of the program with Harbaugh in charge (I remember reading on Mgoblog that he has a list that ranks each and every player on the team).
December 6th, 2016 at 10:55 PM ^
I am stating a character evaluation, not spreading rumors. Spreading rumors is saying that you have a Dave Brandon poster in your bedroom. I took crap on this board when I said maybe Taylor Lewan wasn't the nicest guy out there when the rest of you loved your Mr. Twosie, and for saying Dave Brandon sucks when the rest of you were on his jock.
Shane Morris is a kid who came to UM mentally unprepared to play at this level. Argue why he was mentally unprepared if you like, but arguing in the opposite only shows your reason is surpassed by your blindness fandom. I will trust that he was lazy and entitled as opposed to being stupid, or unlucky or a wimp. But if you want to argue that I am incorrect, give me a reason I am incorrect and not Maize a blue colored, jingoistic bs.
December 7th, 2016 at 7:31 AM ^
You are "stating a character evaluation" that says everything about your character and nothing about Morris's. You sound egotistical and persecuted - sure, in your world, you got it all right on Lewan and Brandon and nobody else did, but that, again, just speaks to your own character flaws.
You have no idea what caused Morris to fail to become the starter or backup at Michigan. You can pretend that you are all psychologically insightful and stuff, but that's just you making more shot up. Your assertion that others must prove you wrong or else admit that you are right is another interesting insight into your character.
My advice is take a vacation from posting. A long one.
December 7th, 2016 at 9:16 AM ^
Yea, sure, you were the bellweather on Brandon. Next you'll be telling us that your were the first person to question Hoke's coaching acumen. I may like to stroke myself, but I usually do it privately.
December 6th, 2016 at 7:50 PM ^
Hearsay from classmates in high school? We're digging a bit here. That hearsay may or may not be accurate. It also doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what he is now. Four years is a long time, particularly in young adulthood. I would speculate that a lot of people on this blog changed and grew quite a bit between 18 and 22 years old and might not be fond of everything they said or did when they were a teenager.
December 6th, 2016 at 10:56 PM ^
Ok, you explain then why someone with all the physical tools to succeed fell flat.
December 6th, 2016 at 11:37 PM ^
In other words you got your pure speculation in first, and therefore it's incumbent on everyone else to speculate in a way that satisfies you, out of unlimited possibilities, or else your unfounded speculation must be true? That's sum great logic! You win, I guess....
December 7th, 2016 at 9:01 AM ^
bad timing? bad luck? injury? lousy quarterback coaching? the sheer randomness of the universe? things happen, man.
December 7th, 2016 at 9:30 AM ^
You could easily point to 100 things that wouldn't have to be the "character issues" that you heard about from 2 people from his highschool. Nobody on this board knows for sure, and most of us decide that we want to continue to root for somebody that we had high hopes for but it didn't work out for him.
December 6th, 2016 at 11:12 PM ^
I thank God I am not judged by 17, 18 year old high school me.
December 7th, 2016 at 4:42 AM ^
Well there is some evidence that supports the idea of entitlement with how his recruitment went down and Hoke not taking a QB for 2 years. If not by him at least from his camp.
I wish the kid well. And even if he did come in with some sense of entitlement that surely changed when Harbaugh took over and Morris sweated out two years with his mates and hes leaving a better man, a Michigan Man. Thats what college is all about after all.
December 6th, 2016 at 8:46 PM ^
From what I have heard, it took Shane to long to mature. When he first got to campus, one could have pointed out character flaws. But the guy he is today is improved for sure. Is that really that different from most 18 year olds ?
December 6th, 2016 at 9:45 PM ^
Having seen him first hand when my daughter was very ill and spending a lot of time at Mott this couldn't be further from the truth. Shane was there almost every week and treated my entire family with respect and kindness. Not an ounce of entitlement. In fact he came off as the opposite of entitled. Humble and thankful for what he had.
December 7th, 2016 at 1:56 AM ^
The Mott experiences of the players are a true point of compassion, respect and growth for these athletes. There are few fanbases that can offer the numbers of prepubescent and young adult fanatics like Michigan. When they are deathly ill...it's where character takes root.
One of my favorites was Omameh.
I wanted to find the clip where Omameh rides Te'o while shoelace took it to the house. Oh well...
Hoke...Denard...Patrick...good guys... I'm kind of nostalgic for those days somehow.
Found the run... you can see Te'o after getting planted by Patrick at the 16s mark. I know there's an Iso shot of Te'o on this play that is out there somewhere...
But really... how's your daughter?
December 6th, 2016 at 10:27 PM ^
I have very reliable sources from high school (as I was around the area) that shane was not the most humble or nice kid to be around...
December 6th, 2016 at 8:57 PM ^
Maybe Hoke wasn't a good recruiter?
December 6th, 2016 at 9:28 PM ^
Hoke is a great recruiter... of defensive linemen. Other positional groups... not so much.
December 6th, 2016 at 8:08 PM ^
Logged in just to down vote. What a stupid fucking comment. Shane has been nothing but class and has represented himself and this university in the highest manner. I wish him the best and will be rooting for him wherever he may end up.
December 6th, 2016 at 9:38 PM ^
For that shitty comment. Unfortunately though it probably won't happen.
December 7th, 2016 at 8:24 AM ^
Wow, is that a record? Over 100 negs? I've seen hate and discontent but not triple digits worth
December 7th, 2016 at 9:10 AM ^
congratulations, you're a real badass.
December 6th, 2016 at 6:08 PM ^
Three of these posts within one minutes!

Interesting juxtaposition with the fifth post in that image.

4 times in one day, even a couple times to Purdue?
I member that!

Hope he finds a good team/school. He's had kind of a rough ride in Ann Arbor.
December 6th, 2016 at 6:09 PM ^
Good for Shane! I wish him luck.

He never got to get in and play under Harbaugh to see what he had under center. Really bummed by that one
