Hand Trying To Flip Peppers

RDT prophesied that this day would come. Wars and rumors of wars (The Game and the Iron bowl), lakes of burning sulfur giving birth to the antichrist (an undefeated Urban Meyer), weeping and gnashing of teeth over Brandon Brown's conversations with McDowell...now we see that Handpocalypse had only just begun when he chose Bama. Surely we are witnessing the end times of Mgoblog.

Maybe if we whip Georgia in the bowl all these kids will stop reconsidering their verbal committments.  

Ha. How ironic. Peppers spends all his time trying to get Da'Shawn to come to Michigan, Da'Shawn commits elsewhere, and now he's trying to get Peppers to go with him.

I'd like to say that, even if we lose Peppers, we'll be okay, as one player should not make a team. But if we lost him, wow.....it'd be a fitting end to a crappy season.

to take the loot at Texas and for Peppers to flip Hand back where he belongs!

Saban!  Fill your inner desires and coach at Texas!  Orange is a far better color than red...and you do like money don't you

Just think of it from his perspective... It's selfish to want this young kid to commit to 4 years of living in cold, dreary Ann Arbor when its clear that his career would likely not have any Big 10 or national championships. On the other hand, Alabama has been continually dominant and you'd be playing with the best players in the country on that team. They've had guys go to the NFL from their starting secondary every year for the past 4 years. They also have academics that fit in with the football program. The cherry on top - it never gets that cold down there in Tuscaloosa. He's probably just realizing that committing to Michigan so early in the year was a bad decision, as any talk of winning championships was definitely premature. The Crawford situation is pretty similar.... Ohio State continually has players placed high in the NFL and wins championships. I wouldn't blame them for switching!

Maybe a SI cover photo with the likeness of Jabril Peppers wearing a blue jersey with a maize deuce should be published.

The lad is young, 17?  He just wants 15 minutes of fame with some lovin'.  I think he now understands his early commitment didn't give him the spot light he now covets.  He saw the media hype that Hand received, he wants some of that too.  Toss him a bone, toss him the Deuce.

It would be nice to be on the receiving end of a large flip.  I do wonder Hoke and staffs stance on attempting to flip committed recruits.  In Hand's case....kid clearly picked Bama over us.....wonder if they take the foot off the pedal or continue to ABC (Always Be Closing) until signing day. 

Peppers is the Comish, man.  Maybe Alabama should worry about Peppers getting hand to flip to Michigan.  

At least Michigan can kick field goals.

...is akin to the wandering Jews. The program is on a digressive slippery slope, so it's no wonder recruits with NFL aspirations look elsewhere. 

The big question:  Can Hoke and staff turn it around? The honeymoon is clearly over and the Mattison Mystique is beginning to wear off. My quarter says they have one or two years to prove they can do it or it's "hit the road Jack..." 

It's just too damn bad. 

I don't blame Saban, I don't blame Hand, and I don't blame Peppers.  We are in a competition and we have to beat our opponent.  If UM as a staff, program, school, product, etc. cannot beat our opponent (Bama, OSU, whoever) in this recruiting competition then we don't deserve the result of success.
