Turner Coming Back?

Submitted by BKFinest on

As per Sam Webb on WTKA, Turner's folks are on their way to Ann Arbor to talk to Turner about this. Seems a bit weird to me, as wouldn't he have spoken to them about this prior to asking for his release? Would RR even allow him back after all this??

Getting interesting...

The make-up sex with various team mates.

The ease in modern "Die Hard/Enemy of the State" genre movies, where anyone with a laptop can hijack a cellphone and turn it into a LoJack/bug/lethal weapon.

Ashton Kutcher sighting alert.

Invoking Maize and Brew Drano vs. Kool-Aid visuals.

And a little negative thoughts (no loss of points) for thinking this was a rash decision...gaining bad weight throughout the summer and not putting in the effort needed isn't "rash" nor impulsive.  It's a decision that was made some time ago...

Also "telling" is that GERG has already been off the JT bandwagon with his comment a few days ago about "I don't know what's up with him."

Finally, letting Rich Rod and the Media Relations people talk for who's here and who's not isn't a sign that GERG was out of the loop or didn't know what was going on.  That poster must not work IRL yet (I'm not a manager, am a professional office employee, and I defer telling the outside world what's going, to those authorized to speak).

transferring is not going to solve it.  He may get religion after a year of drifting (like Grady), but if he's going to play D1 ball again he's going to have to re-dedicate

Why not do that at Michigan?  Work his ass off and target midseason for getting onto the field

I am going to stop checking this blog for the next 4 hours.  Hopefully when I return this whole mess will be sorted out. 

If not, I am warning everyone, I am going to be really sad.

Michigan has a long history of players asking for transfer papers and reconsidering (especially once parents get involved), staying with it and becomng if not stars then positive contributors to the team. In fact, our previous coach had a habit of throwing release papers at students as a motivatoin tactic.

On the minus side, recent trends do not reflect the history....

really speculate since we have no idea what is going on in his head or in his life. Hopefully he figures it out and does not make the wrong decision, whatever that is for him. I know when I was 19ish years old I made a lot of decisions that I would like to take back.

to his teammates and then said he hadn't made a decision when ESPN found him getting into his truck.  He wanted to make sure his 19 year old body could take another season of football.

Question: There's 3 men on a boat with 4 cigarettes and no lighter, how do they smoke?

Answer: They take one of the cigarettes and throw it overboard, making the boat a cigarette lighter

Whatever issue he's dealing with, trying to transfer away from it will probably not be helpful. This is a fantastic opportunity for him to pin his tail and take a stand for himself. Please strongly consider staying Justin, the M faithful would love for you to stick it out here. I think the feeling of crossing the goal line with a pick six against Alabama in front of the world will be a very rewarding payoff.

GERG's comments that he doesn't know what is going on.  I figure, the coaches think he's crazy to ask for a release, but they don't see him on the two deep at this point, don't need anymore negative press about how they treat players and said fuck it. 

Poor dad is probably sitting at work and gets the call, "Mr. Turner, its Bob from Accounting.  Just wanted to let you know that I read on Rivals that your son has asked for his release from UoM."

Whatever, just hope it all works out for the kid.

If the offseason, not even the actual playing of the games, makes people this upset then they need to find something else to do with their time.

Gardening is fun, and I've heard good things about spinning class!

Perhaps they could learn to bake?
