If it couldn't get any worse for MSU

This kind of summarizes what a less-than-ideal recruiting class MSU has put together.

of threads disappeared yesterday due to some glitch. Go back and try to find anything about this kid. Rather than asking mods to delete this thread, how about asking to bring those back? No one is complaining about the thread directly below this which also duplicates the Hunter Reynolds thread from yesterday.
It's not wolfman's fault. He gets an upvote from me.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:38 AM ^
you think everyone deserves a trophy as well.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:57 AM ^
But he does believe that people might be busy and don't check mgoblog constantly, even on NSD. I know it sounds impossible, but sometimes people just can't F5 that much.
February 2nd, 2017 at 9:08 AM ^
I F5 constantly. I think it will make me go blind.

Good job making the joke explicit.

Are you from Missouri?
February 2nd, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
If touching yourself makes you go blind, consider me Ray Charles!
February 2nd, 2017 at 4:11 PM ^
Yes, some of us work.

Is that you Bob?!

There is no hurdle to clear in order to vote or have kids. So two of the most important ways to shape the world are provided to... literally everybody (except felons and eunuchs).
Basically, life is one HUGE participation trophy. I could only wish that voting and parenting were privledges provided only after you pass a some sort of idiot test. It would make the world a much better place. Until then, please go ahead and rail on participation trophies while remaining blissfully ignorant that they are analogous to your own life.
February 2nd, 2017 at 11:23 AM ^
Sometimes, I lie awake at night and weep for all the kids whose lives were ruined by the participation trophy they got when they were 5 years old.
February 2nd, 2017 at 11:48 AM ^
There used to be tests for voting. I don't think bringing them back should be something to strive for.

Unfortunately, thanks to cable news, there aren't that many people who are actually knowledgeable. Lots of them who think they are.

Fuck you GoBlueinOhio.
Sick of the goddamn baby-boomer generation decrying millenials for being the participation trophy generation. Who the fuck do you think GAVE us the trophies!?
February 2nd, 2017 at 4:16 PM ^
this is a great point!
February 2nd, 2017 at 11:57 AM ^
He didn't even post a clickable link...
February 2nd, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
the answer is, "Yes, he did completely miss signing day yesterday."
February 2nd, 2017 at 7:57 AM ^
February 2nd, 2017 at 9:10 AM ^
just delete the OP
kthxbye
February 2nd, 2017 at 9:47 AM ^
Which job? Is it (1) the return the thread about this from yesterday that no longer exists job or (2) the delete this non-duplicate (see above) thread?
February 2nd, 2017 at 10:15 AM ^
Close to about 12-16 hours of threads were basically erased from existence because of what happened to the site, so there's no way to bring any of that back. I think anyone who posted in that timeframe probably had any points they accumulated in that space taken out too because it seems like it reverted to the last saved version of the site. NSD 2017 on MGoBlog will basically be remembered for a lot of things, including being misremembered by a database problem.
February 2nd, 2017 at 11:59 AM ^
I know. You guys did a great job throughout it all. It just annoyed me that people are criticizing by saying "this was posted yesterday" when the vast majority of people who read and post here will never, ever know that.

link doesn't work.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:44 AM ^
delete the backslash following the link
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:03 AM ^
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:19 AM ^
Again...what?
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:03 AM ^
You didn't really think that this would slip past the notice of the board, did you?
Imma look at this as a posbang thread for the time it stays up. Not that it's positive that a kid with a bright future made an idiotic and life-changing mistake. On an individual level, I hope he turns his life around and overcomes this episode. (That's assuming he's guilty. Which is likely, because in a case like this, he probably did not get jailed on suspiction.)
But it is a nice counterpoint to the "we value character over stars" narrative that MSU adopted over the weekend. I reserve the right to laugh about that element of the overall story. Winston - Jeyru - this kid? Consistency matters in a program I suppose.

Their class finished somewhere in the [pause] 23-32 range.
Also somewhere between [pause] 3-9 in the B1G.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:09 AM ^
That's quite a range, especially adjusted for the 247 composite, which is 34th or 247 ranking, 37th.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:25 AM ^
What am I missing? Is 247 not an accepted recruiting service at MGB?
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:29 AM ^
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:47 AM ^
I wanted to give SemperFi a chance to figure it out, but now that you've explained the gag, that's correct.
I also hit our good leatherneck up with a couple of upvotes. Don't know why folks neg people on this board for not getting a joke. Our Devil Dog was simply asking a question, not being a jerk about it.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:35 AM ^
DAMN! Wow...SMH. I got the 3-9, but...
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:24 AM ^
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:40 AM ^
i see what you did there. nicely done.
February 2nd, 2017 at 8:07 AM ^
He was a much bigger steal than recruiting experts initially thought.
