Rappist? Do you mean rapper?
I heard Ace/Brian saying it, so I used that terminology in the post.
I think it's too easy to mistake for another word.
Maybe because it's more accurate, but also because not many really aspire to the other thing.
Et tu, Caesar?
but Michigan State still has a pretty full recruiting class, so I disagree.
It's not just that it's easy to mistake it for another word. It's likely that auto-correct will change the word at some point and someone trying to be clever will instead look evil and stupid for charging an innocent person with a serious crime.
Brian makes the "rappist" joke all the freaking time.
Next you'll say that an Analrapist isn't a profession.
full on rappist
Hope he rappist Pac12 secondaries. Hate to see the kid go.
but I can't say I'm sorry to see him go. A transfer is clearly the best thing for him if he wants to get to the NFL, so we should be happy that he is moving on.
That's at least three transfers (thinking also of Malzone to NTM and Ways to Cal) that make sense athletically and academically (as Miami is easily the MAC's flagship in that area).
Doubtful. Bunting was clearly passed by Gentry and McKeon, so this is more like a 2/10.
He could be a solid contributor at another school, so I hope those skillet find more pig skin to fry at Cal!
He was supposed to be better than Jake from what I recall reading about him. I wonder why he never panned out.
Best of luck, Ian, on the field and in life.
It was a deliberately akward term used by the guys on the podcast, IIRC.
Yes. Brian uses it when he's feeling like an old man that doesn't get the young whippersnappers and their culture. It's a play on "old guy doesn't know what rap is", nothing to do with sex crimes.
So this one was expected for a while.
Thanks for taking the time. I guess my counter-response is "Bummer."
Now that Lawrence Marshall (perhaps because he's putting it together but certainly because of depth at his critical position) seems locked into the roster, I can't think of even 1 RS-Sr that Michigan won't keep. Which makes me uncomfortable. I only like being above 85 at this point in the year when the overage is less than or equal to the number of underperforming 5th years with bachelors degrees.
Sure, younger players might genuinely choose to transfer if they can't find playing time before the end of Spring Camp. But (I'm not pointing fingers here, just speaking theoretically about coaches in general), unless the transfers are from burdgeoning stars (which [/obvs] we also don't want) it's hard for fans to discriminate between that and an oversigning coach compelling himself to cut two kids to hit the roster limit.
That doubt/those optics is/are terrrrrrible. And so far Michigan has wholly avoided them.
Maintaining that forever has always been a big hope of mine.
Good luck to him.
I really thought he'd be Jake Butt 2.0 but it just wasn't meant to be.
