Unnecessary Reminder - DO NOT Engage with Recruits or their Parents
Bruce Feltenbarger is an asshole. Don't be like Bruce Feltenbarger.
This is part of the problem. Too many of these twitter and Facebook loudmouths'. Pisses me off to no end. pic.twitter.com/lfYXuR2OHi

Yeah, Bruce Feltenberger is a total asshole.
But as to not interacting with recruits...Does this mean the photo of me in a thong on a bearskin rug I was about to send to Najee Harris is off??? :-(
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
I think that may be off for many other reasons....

can be the judge of the appropriateness.
Perhaps Magnus will give your pic a rating on his TTB scale ...

This was my favorite meme of 2014. Every time a male friend on Facebook would post a comment about another friend's teen daughter - eg. "Your daughter is all grown up and just gorgeous now!" - I'd reply with no words, just the Chris Hanson...

"Don't be like Bruce Feltenbarger."
That should be a new tag on the site.
December 22nd, 2016 at 4:52 PM ^
Feltenbarger can also become a verb. For example, after a night of drinking PBR drafts and finishing it off with a sack of White Castle, I woke up the next morning and had to Feltenbarger my brains out.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:53 PM ^
That was a dick move
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:59 PM ^
twat-waffle comes to mind as well

Can't stand people like that. Gives us all a bad name.

That really kills me. What a complete idiot.

There is nothing like adults telling other adults what they can and cannot do
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
No one is saying you can't do it. They're saying that everyone will think you're an asshole if you do it. And they're right.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
I think you missed the point. Nobody is telling you that you can't be a Bruce and contact recruits or their families. They are telling you that it is a total dick move to do it. If you're not smart enough to understand the difference that's not our problem.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
I'm obviously kidding, although I'm sure this happens also.
December 22nd, 2016 at 2:15 PM ^
Some Spartan fan did that with Terry Richardson back in the day. Also, I think a buckeye fan did it on one occasion. I think Rashan Gary.

In the cesspools of twitter where people tweet at recruits, I am certain this is a fairly common occurrence. The mouthbreathers tweeting recruits who gain enough setience to realize it isn't working probably evolve to the guys who make fake accounts to tweet at recruits.
Given the right environment and 10 million years, those guys then evolve to be posters at RCMB and MLive

I thought about that before posting. But my problem isn't really with the original post. Rather, it's the fact that he doubled-down when the mother responded.
The first post is standard trash-talk. It was the second post that really put his behavior over the line.

Yikes.... Don't click on that (and then his FB profile) unless you want to truly feel shame for our fan base.
It is one of my dreams in life to be the final decision making on a hire and spin a laptop around with a person's ridiculous, trashy social media profiles and simply say "Sorry, we are not hiring you."

I can only hope that someone with reasonable sensibilities has replied to her apologizing for others being assholes. We can be dissapointed in his choice, but it is his choice, and he can choose whatever he wants. I wish him good luck.

It's the world you choose to live in when you indulge in social media. It just allows assholes in your life.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
But not for me obviously. I find my efforts in tweeting recruits and parents of recruits quite helpful. I have a four step process that I think is virtually foolproof:
1. Follow the player, the player's friends and family on Twitter
2. Engage in light social banter - let them know that I think Michigan would be their BEST choice (like duh right?)
3. Make sure they all know that the other schools they are considering contain nothing but cheaters, care nothing about the player's academics and wont help their NFL prospects one bit.
4. Threaten bodily harm to said player, friends & family if they choose school other than Michigan.
Your welcome.

I know you're being sarcastically humorous, but this is almost beyond joking imhe. There have been too many instances of people doing nonsense like this, which I absolutely deplore. Will put a separate post up.
December 22nd, 2016 at 2:03 PM ^
The problem with these posts is that the idiots who we're admonishing to now do this either dont read the blog OR see themselves as God's special snowflake and thereroe not applying to them.
Unfortunately you simply cannot stop stupid.

There's one in every fanbase. Michigan is no exception.
I just hope Isiah's mom knows that this jerkoff doesn't speak for all Michigan fans, and that any reasonable fan would wish her son well. Bummer that he went to UGa, but its his choice, and his life.
December 22nd, 2016 at 1:58 PM ^
sorry, can this come down? This is not representative of the fan base and does not serve any purpose. Nobody who was going to engage a recruit or their parents is going to be swayed not to by having this up here and it makes all Michigan fans look bad.

I agree, but I don't think this is a case of someone engaging with a recruit. It appears he posted his opinion somewhere and she responded to it. I do recognize that anyone who tells a woman to not get her panties in a bunch is probablt an asshole.

Yupp, but MgoBloggers just love a good ole "Hey, this guy was an asshole. Can you believe it? That's so terrible we shouldn't even joke about it. I'm not at an asshole, look at me!" thread.

This is a great reminder for all to not engage in these actions, and that the majority of our fanbase disapproves of this.
Getting ahead of this before we (as a fanbase), get blasted on rival boards because of fools like Bruce Feltenbarger, reminds of when Eminem destroyed Papa Doc in the epic rap battle finale in 8 mile:
