Nick Hill's Tattoo
Just when I thought MSU FB tattoos couldn't get any dumber, they go and do something like this, and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!

I'm guessing he will regret that in about 3 years.
January 11th, 2012 at 3:56 PM ^
Why would he regret it? It's a nice tattoo.
January 11th, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
exactly, I dont get why this is called dumb..Its a great looking tat..Its not like he went and had a guy wearing a mizzou helmet tatted on himself like worthy..
January 11th, 2012 at 4:37 PM ^
with some age on it. Not too pretty, especially the supersized ones. To each his own I guess.
January 11th, 2012 at 5:08 PM ^
Great art work..can't blame a kid for wanting one..but I personally think men are more impressed than women. But its personal choice. Completely agree.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:53 PM ^
I have four tattoos and that one he got is f'ing awesome. I love the detail on it.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:10 PM ^
My 8 year old daughters always ask me..."what is that gonna look like when they get old and saggy"
January 11th, 2012 at 4:12 PM ^
who cares? it looks sweet now.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
My kids...now is all that matters.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
You asked, remember...
January 11th, 2012 at 3:56 PM ^
are they asking us to mock them?
January 11th, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
You know, if I were to play for M, I would probably get a block M or even something like "Those who stay..." but I don't think I would ever get the urge to have a giant wolverine put onto my ribs. And that's not even considering that a wolverine >>>>>> Spartan.
January 11th, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
Since it was hard to notice the link
January 11th, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
too bad worthy couldn't be on the field with his spartan tattoo while he's getting absolutely shit on by Michigan's offense
January 11th, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
Hate to say it but that tat is kinda cool. And to think i've been a bit squimish about getting a simple block M put on my arm.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:42 PM ^
January 11th, 2012 at 4:55 PM ^
I have one on my right side below my rib cage and it hurt a lot. The least painful one I got is my Decepticon logo on my left forearm. My other two are on my shoulders and they weren't too bad.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
What happens when he gets a fat beer belly?
January 11th, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
The movie 300 will spring to life!
January 11th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Our guy, Lamarr Woodley got the X-men wolverine and I think thats pretty sweet. No need to be hypocritical
January 11th, 2012 at 4:16 PM ^

The kid is going to have a nice niche in the offense for a few years to come, and personally as a M fan I hope RR's lack of local recruiting doesn't come back to bite us in the ass in this case. Reading foolish comments like this makes me think it will and Nick Hill will have a big game against the Maize N Blue at some point in his career. Woulda certainly gone Blue if Hoke was around, he loved the Michigan family and had a great relationship with the players at UM when he was in HS at Chelsea, which is only 10 min away. He was actually giving the nickname Lil Mike by them because of his likeness to Hart in both running style and looks.
January 11th, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
Nick Hill is not Mike Hart. That much is obvious.
Sorry to disappoint you, Mrs. Hill.
January 11th, 2012 at 5:41 PM ^
Talk to Mike Hart who gave him the name
January 11th, 2012 at 7:05 PM ^
Oy. Godwin's RR Corollary strikes again. Again with the Meme That Won't Die.
FYI, even though he didn't work out, RR recruited the equivalently-rated Austin White instead of Hill. And though not Chelsea, Livonia is still in Michigan, last I checked.
January 11th, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
So my comment was foolish because I said I didn't think Nick Hill would play much at MSU?
MSU's starting RB is Leveon Bell, and Larry Caper is the back up. Nick is a year behind Bell, so his best chances at meaningful carries is to wait until his senior year and hope MSU doesn't recruit another good RB in the meantime. This is not me ripping on Nick Hill, this is just the MSU depth chart. He only got 5 carries in Big Ten play this year, and they were all in a blowout of Indiana.
And don't blame RR for not recruiting Nick Hill. If anything, RichRod was much more likely to recruit a 5'7" running back than Hoke is, and it's not like big programs were clamoring after him. Fact is, Hill was the second best RB in the state and we only needed one, so we went with the other guy.

Having played the game at the college level I fully understand the tough decisions coaches must make when the numbers crunch at positions. Regardless of HS rankings, both Hill and White were good HS backs, One is currently on a B1G roster and getting snaps while the other is starting over at CMU.?
There were signs of White's character issues prior to him leaving HS. Whether they were a result of immaturity or lack of drive, I cannot answer but clearly the kid was not cut out to play Big Ten Football.
All that being said, RR swung and missed on White and its tough to see a local kid have any success, as minor as some of you think it is or may be, at a rival school. Character and drive is what seperates athletes from one another. I love that about Hoke's recruiting and overall message
January 11th, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
Many people who have never been to a game get tats referencing their favorite teams. He's on the Sparty roster which gives him the clout to pull of the tat. If the Coner had a sweet Wolverine tat, he would have come in for praise on this blog.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Looks like a pretty good depiction of his schools mascot to me...
January 11th, 2012 at 4:42 PM ^
Looks like Brad Pitt's character (Achilles) in battle gear in the movie "Troy" if you ask me.
(FWIW - I hate and love that movie at the same time.)
January 11th, 2012 at 4:09 PM ^
that is an awesome tattoo.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:14 PM ^
which is a good thing, and it's quality work, but it's kind of ugly and in a weird place.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:09 PM ^
It'll look cool but if he gets a gut when he's older, his spartan could end up looking up like that guy:
MARK PLEASE MARK LET ME TAKE THE BATTLEFIELD. MY FATHA WAS A SPARTAN PLEASE!!!
January 11th, 2012 at 4:12 PM ^
Regardless of my team affiliation, that is a pretty cool tat. Worthy's tattoo is somewhat embarassing, but Hill's is well done. I wouldn't personally want that on me. I probably won't ever get a tattoo, though.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:15 PM ^
He better hope he stays in shape, or else we'll get the widescreen version.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:23 PM ^
His tat looks more like the guy who rides out onto the field with the sword during every USC home game than that butch cheerleader that MSU uses as their mascott.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:17 PM ^
I think Nick Hill needs to spend more time in the gym and less time on the table.
January 11th, 2012 at 5:32 PM ^
I know Nick personally and scrawny is not a word you can use when discribing him if you have ever seen him, short yes, scrawny def not, dude is shredded.
January 11th, 2012 at 7:22 PM ^
Yes we get it. You love Nick Hill. Sparty On
January 11th, 2012 at 11:42 PM ^
I have been sitting in section 41 of the Big House since '85.....sooo judge wrong
January 11th, 2012 at 4:19 PM ^
Cool tattoo bro.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:19 PM ^
Cool tattoo bro.
January 11th, 2012 at 5:35 PM ^
Almost as cool as a doublepost bro
January 11th, 2012 at 4:20 PM ^
Those clouds make it look like the Spartan farted.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:25 PM ^
At first, I thought the clouds was a rash or something.
January 11th, 2012 at 4:20 PM ^
I think it's a pretty good tattoo. I'm a little surprised that he did that, though, considering that he wanted to come to Michigan so badly. The first thing that popped into my head, though, was the tattoo that Justin Turner got and I wonder what he did with that and what Nick Hill would do if he ended up transferring to another school.

Dantonio is a disciple of Tressel, no?
