Great article on Sam McGuffie

He looked pretty good his freshman season here. It's a shame his career didn't pan out the way many of us thought it would.
Thanks for posting, though. Seems like a cool dude and I wish him luck in his Olympic aspirations.

Adam Kramer does some amazing things for BR. In general, BR cfb has stepped up their game tremendously.

during a royal fustercluck of a season. And, sadly, that 4.1 yd average you note is not that far off from most of our RBs since then!

You say "reminiscing" as if we're wistfully longing for days of yore.
It was a well-written and interesting article about a player who was part of the Michigan program. I enjoyed reading it. I shared it here, because I thought others might enjoy reading it as well.

Tell us again how going 3-9 with a victory over the #9 team in the country is worse than going 1-7, getting shut out five times, and scoring a grand total of 21 points over the entire fucking season.

I'm happy that he found success in life. Seems like a good, humble guy.

I remembered that after I made the post -- I definitely recall seeing Bush's high school video and just giggling with a coworker as we watched it. But my comment was intended more in the context of Michigan recruits (though I did not specify that).

As a Houstonian I've followed Sam since early HS days when the word was starting to spread. People must remember that he performed at an elite level against Texas HS football (Greater Houston). This wasn;t some kid in West Texas playing 7 on 7 against future pecan farmers.
I believe he might have stayed without the concussions and if his grandma had lived a few years longer. He was the 'dad' of his family at that time and I think he felt obligated to take care of them when she passed.

lack of blocking. The multiple concussions were a worry though as long as he played football.

He is guy with unique abilities that really don't translate well to Big Ten football or the NFL - if you read the article, you realize why he didn't make it as a back at Michigan. Too small. Even at Rice he couldn't do it, they converted him to a receiver. This was OK in Conf USA, wouldn't make it in Big Ten or NFL as a receiver.
I doubt that Harbaugh would have went after him - again too small for his type of offense.
Glad he found a sport that fits his abilities and size.

Imagine if he'd stayed, Denard had moved to RB immediately, Gardner moved to WR immediately and Tate was the QB. That would have been a pretty cool offense to see. Still had a craptastic defense and RR probably would still be gone, but the offense would have been more fun.
