"We're not going to have a quarterback Saturday"

Submitted by MGoAndy on November 6th, 2008 at 1:46 PM

Martin said today that he went down to practice this morning and to talk to RichRod about Saturday. He then went on to say,"We're not going to have a quarterback Saturday," then mumbled, shook his head, and cursed the football gods. I assume Threet isn't getting over his concussion, and it is indeed Sheridan [Feagin?] who will play QB.

Saturday will be an absolute joy.

If you're going to use quotes can you at least be actually quoting someone properly? Thanks.

Then at least try to be somewhat accurate? I highly, highly, FUCKING STRONGLY doubt that Bill Martin would speak so negatively about our football team, specifically the QBs. I can believe him saying, "we're not going to have Threet for Saturday". I cannot even begin to imagine Bill Martin would spit in the faces of Lloyd (dearth of recruiting), RichRod (dearth of Terrelle Pryor), Sheridan (dearth of talent), and Feagin (dearth of something) by saying that about the team.

It's cool you had lunch with him, but posting a stupid, probably fake quote about something that's already a day old is kind of lame.

ShockFX, you actually sound pretty lame. Unless you suck at sarcasm.

Seeing as he put that quote in two threads now he's probably not being sarcastic. And if he is being sarcastic, which is giving him way too much credit anyway, then he absolutely fails at it as he was not funny or witty at all. Even if he had posted this BEFORE the 15 other threads about Threet being likely out Saturday it would still suck balls.

No I was talking about the possibility that you were being sarcastic, if you were you would have sucked at it but I guess you weren't. Why do you think Bill Martin wouldn't be frustrated with our team. Why wouldn't he be?

Bill Martin may or may not be frustrated. That point is irrelevant. The point is that I cannot see him, under any circumstances, saying something that is so clearly demeaning to a Michigan player.

Maybe he didn't know Andy would reveal that information on the intertubes. Come, don't be naive. Of course he thinks Sheridan sucks, private.

Oh sir, alas, you were not there. He most definitely said exactly that. Speculate all you want, but I can say with 100% certainty he said exactly that.

As is my obligation as a supporter, I will watch the game this Saturday. Pain is my companion.

After 40 years of Michigan fandom and so many fantastic memories, I'm not bailing out.

If there's a certain amount of pain to be endured, I want to get it over with. The seeds of future greatness will be found in moments in these games; from these players. Examples include the OL line plays that Brian posted today; improvement in the return teams against Purdue; and Zoltan's continuing punting magnificance.
