Interesting BG quote
Here's the whole interview

Interesting quote: Rittenberg: Has everything that happened this week at Michigan brought you guys together any more?
BG: Oh, yeah. Everybody hangs out with everybody now. That's one thing that changed in my years being here. There are no more cliques. If somebody says, 'Let's go here,' everybody wants to come. We hang out a little bit more. We're more of a team.
So, maybe since RR has come people are starting to hang out with others more? Thoughts?

It sorta sounds like they're one big family or something

Get on board or get out of the way! Based on the pressors and the video highlights, the team does seem more together, more as one. I think this last gasp effort from the 'Shadow Blue' that want Rich out failed and it's full speed ahead from here on out.

This team seems really close and really hungry, watch out.

It would be nice to think that everyone, on the team, gets along with everyone else (on the team). However, there's going to be some difference of opinion in a group that large. That's just human nature. But, it sure seems like Jihad II has given the football team an "us versus them" mentality. Now, another team member will always have another player's "back". Nothing "circles the wagons" (to quote Boomer) like a unsubstantiated attack from the "outside". It's unfortunate that a couple of young men learned their lesson the hard way. Not everyone that approaches them will have their best interests at heart and may even use them to further an agenda (as we just saw so infamously illustrated). I'm hoping this incident (Jihad II) is the event that cements this very young team together. It may be just what they need to have the mental edge for the season. We'll find out this afternoon....
