Last!
Woohoo...Go Blue!!!!
My mama once told me that life is like a box of chocolates.......
1 yes
Yeeeehaw!!!
can we keep the vette bashing off of this thread please,
thanks in advance
Greg
How can you possibly suggest Michigan never speak of WVU again? I really hope RR does well at Michigan, and I hope he stays for multiple decades, but eventually he will retire or be fired. If we are never to speak of WVU again, from where will we get our next coach?
this feature's brief lifespan has expired.
And there was much rejoicing.
Now let's get back to the corvette feature.
God the off season is oprressive sometimes.
I hate oppression
My life's ambition has been to be the 9th comment in a thread.
tenn,
i believe that was the bobcat gto that ran that time....
my brother was big gto guy, i think he has that mag somewhere at his house...
You're still not there.
Tenn
Better luck next time, you came in tenth....top ten's not bad, ay?
I believe it's spelled: "Cum On Feel The Noize." Quiet Riot is nothing, if not grammatically creative.
From the previous thread, and this is just a hunch, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sarniak gave the Corvette to Jim O'Brien, who gave it to Jim Tressel, who gave it back to Sarniak so that he could give it to Pryor scot-free. If you've never heard of car laundering that's how it's done. I had a friend in H.S. whose Dad was a car salesman and while he never mentioned this scheme to me, I bet he could verify my gut on this one.
Can we skip the verifying of the gut, however thanks for the info.
I hope scoutguy doesn't give you any shit for that info.
What I like about Sarniak, it sounds similar to Saranac. Which is a fine brewery I will be visiting this week.
I believe Sarniak is a Hindu name. They're not much into beer.
Yeah but I hear they love cows too.
what about cow-beer?
gsimmons:
Oh, well. Not the first time I've misremembered something. Looks like you're right.
Is it any good Gsimms? Do they ferment the milk?
Instead of the little thing that keeps Guiness carbonated longer, Cow Beer comes with a piece of discarded cud inside of it. And the can has 4 compartments.
Musket that was hilarious. quick now name those four compartments.
Sorry Mick, I'm an english major, knowledge that four compartments exist is as far as I go.
On another subject. Can someone please shut Chad Henne up! Dude is going to run off all the QBs at Michigan.
jsut make sure you dont get the bull-beer
Yeah, I think we all know what keeps the bull beer carbonated. I'm not going to say it, but it starts with a b and ends with ull testicles.
We don't have a cow, we have a bull...
well, you can milk a bull.
Musket,
Thanks anyway, at least you know there are four compartments.
Maybe someone else can, shed?, some light on it for us.
I also vote for Henne to shut the hell up.
Anonymous: Our first post-Rodriguez head coach will be Boom Motherfuck. At age sixty.
MMMMMMMM Bull Beer as Homer would say.
Anyone know what Max Martin had to say about Barwis?
What's Henne been saying?
article suggesting Mangino didn't get coaching offers because he is "overweight."
http://www.kansan.com/stories/20...s_cover/?
sports
overweight != morbidly obese
RichRod met with Faegin earlier today. sounds like he's kind of iffy on comin up here. sounded like he wanted to hear from RR that the job was his, BUT he is still taking an official up here in Feb.
This means that RR still thinks we have a realistic shot at TP, but 50-50 at best.
My respect for Bill Stewart just went up a lil bit. He might be the next Larry Coker and out of a job in 3-4 years, but at least he's a good, rational dude.
If I had a reputation I'd stake it on TP not coming to Michigan.
what a great article....
lol
about time somebody said it!!! fat ugly, balding people UNITE!!! we shall not be held down any longer...
where's my f'n twinkes?
JHS
I would seriously worry if Mangino was my coach that he might have a heart attack during a game and I'm not trying to be funny.
BTW, Harbaugh is my fave all time M QB.
MMMMMM f'n twinkies
Don't mean to get off the subject here, but ESPN just suspended Dana Jacobson for a week. Jacobson, a co-host on Cold Pizza, is a Michigan Woman and proud of it.
"Jacobson, reportedly intoxicated, was speaking at a celebrity roast in Atlantic City, N.J., when she unleashed a profane tirade, saying, "F--- Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus."
I hope the suspension was only for the last sentence, not for the first two. I don't see anything offensive about those.
Jesus was a virgin, don't tell mary magdelan
Yeah I'd worry too about Mangino collapsing on the sidelines.
Can anyone tell me what Henne has been saying that might scare away QBs?
The espn bottom line keeps having something about urban meyer and recruiting violations, anyone know what it is saying?
Is it me or does Chad Henne sound kind of bitter?
Hey Chad, if your teams had won a few more games for that staff you love so much they'd probably still be there.
So how about you shut the fuck up unless you have something positive to say?
jhs,
he just has been saying stuff aobut how he doesnt blame mallete for leaving, becasue of the system... says that the other qb's are iffy, and waiting to see how things go i the spring.... saying "we are not spread qb's" talking about the current group of qb's
On Urban: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/
spor...la_tab01_layout
ESPN is just fucking stupid for doing that. It was a god blank roast. WTF did they expect?
gotta love dana- dealing with jay the osu loving prick every day- think they did that on purpose
and
@Bob
what is henne saying
Basically that the new system might not work for the present QB's on roster and that Cone and Sheridan are waiting out spring ball.
Hey Henne, STFU.
It is too bad that Dana Jacobson has to be anywhere near Skip Bayless at any time in her life.
Fuck Jesus.
Yeah, I said it. ESPN already suspended me for saying Pat Forde ate his own poop out of a blender, we'll see what they do here.
I'm not sure I understand his problem with a spread offense. RR has implemented spread passing attacks before. I guess Henne is opposed to the gameplan under which he put up career numbers in the Cap One Bowl.
I'm late to this but what did ESPN do to Jacobsen for her rant?
We might have to run the wing-t if henne scares all of our qbs away.
Feagin/star/pryor/bj daniels come on down we need a running QB.
I bet Golf Week has an issue in a couple weeks with a cross on the cover and the headline, "CRUCIFIED: The Dana Jacobson Scandal."
Henne keeps going on about how all the QBs at Michigan are not spread QBs. Not that they are not running QBs, but that they cant operate in the spread. I think he is being as narrow minded as many others. He said simillar things to this on Rome is Burning, although he was also quick to say there that Mallett "wanted to go." I think he is bitter that SL got run off so he is trying to run off all QBs.
Keegan - Jacobsen went on a "Fuck Notre Dame, fuck Touchdown Jesus" rant.
FWIW, we're going after justin feagin and bj daniels real hard. dont know if actions are speaking louder than words right now..
+100 to MRG.
I particularly resent Henne saying Mallett playing QG at Arkansas instead of Michigan was "a good move." And that the QBs want to be at a place where they can throw the ball."
Michigan WILL continue throw the ball. Do we really need Chad Henne telling the world, inaccurately, that Michigan QBs aren't going to be thowing the ball anymore? Way to generate positive interest in the new program, Chad, you fuckhead.
Chitown,
I heard about the rant. Did ESPN do anything to her for it?
@Keegan
Jacobsen has been disciplined with a week long suspension.
Couldn't agree more with here take on ND though, fuck 'em.
ESPN suspended her for a week.
I wonder how much TP's buyout is for his contract with OSU. Maybe RR can help him get out of it.
Orlando - Where did you see we are in on BJ Daniels?
WDFN talking about Jacobsen right now.
Can she appeal and have Skip take the one-week suspension. I might watch if he's gone for a week...wait...no, I still won't watch.
I have a hard time getting all upset about what Chad Henne said. Regardless of whether he's thrown the ball or not, RR HAS put the QB in motion at all stops (the oft-referenced Shaun King year at Tulane included 800+ rushing yards). If Henne thinks Mallett wouldn't fit in that, whatevs - he's entitled to his opinion.
cold pizza (first take) is actually not that bad, it was fucking awful when it first came on and it had a 30 person anchor team.
Orlando,
Yes, actions always speak louder than words.
Like when RR said M waouldn't "necessarily" use the 3-3-5 stack.
READ: my DC isn't coming with me to M.
Skip makes my eyes, ears, and nose bleed simultaneously.
on scout bob, feagin ran the exact same offense as RR runs, no huddle, high tempo offense. we are recruiting him as a QB and RR told him he has a chance to come in and play early
Skip Bayless is ESPN's equivalent of Rush Limbaugh. He just yells and yells hoping something he says will stick.
He's also admitted to being a huge Madonna fan. Which... yeah.
O- i saw the Feagin stuff on scout but have not seen anything on BJ. Must have missed it. Thanks.
JHS,
Cold Pizza did suck. I haven't watched much lately although Jay never really bothered me. I always liked how awkward he'd get when Skip would say something that would make the Kool-Aid man blush and then he'd try to cover for Skip. Priceless moments in ESPN history.
The following is grounds for suspension at ESPN:
1) Insulting the Yankees;
2) Insulting the Red Sox;
3) talking about a team other than the Yankees or Red Sox
3) Insulting the Patriots;
4) Insulting Derek Jeter;
5) Insulting Notre Dame;
6) Insulting the WNBA;
7) taking pictures of your junk and showing them to the female staff (oh wait, he didn't get suspended)
8) Insulting Kobe and Lebron
9) complaining that Stuart Scott is smelling up the NBA RV that he and Bill Walton and those other guys live in.
And hugs at a Boston Market are grounds for firing.
I watched ESPN on my run during lunch-break today. Skip saying that Johan Santana had an "off-year" this season because he was 15-13 crystalized how much his opinion is worth (Johan was 7th among qualifiers in ERA, 2nd in K's, and 1st in WHIP).
who took a pic of their junk? That's awesomely college-esque.
add...
sugesting espnc runs a michigan game in which michigan wins
Great Coverage Brian.
Keegan - Sean Salisbury sent the junk-photo.
Keegan,
That would be Salisbury.
mmmmm Salisbury!!!! By the way is their a more pompous lifetime backup QB out there?
Is Brian trying to get Pryor to go to Ohio State...whats with all the negative coverage? save it till he goes to OSU
my grammar is poor..
their=there
bj daniles reminds me of a tim tebow, he's a bigger guy pretty shifty and fast and has a nice arm
Watching Merrill Hoge and Sean Salisbury scream about how so-and-so doesn't have what it takes to compete in "The National Football League" is the epitomy of "pot, meet kettle".
I doubt Brian's post are going to sway TP one way or the other. Unless Mgoblog let's TP "borrow" an overrated american sportscar (that's just for gsimmons)
This proves that fucking jesus is only half as bad as lynching tiger.
Who was that WR who chose Oregon over UM a few years ago, it worked out real well for him.
Personally I think all UM fans should just assume Pryor is going to OSU, and then if he doesn't go to OSU it is a bonus, and if he comes to UM it is a double bonus.
If you want to know anything about Merrill Hodge look at his opinion on VY. Granted VY is not a great NFL qb, but they have won with him and Hodge said that picking him would ruin the Titans franchise and railed on that for weeks.
keegan,
i thought i said no more vette dissing?
dissapointed
JHS,
I think that was Colvin. Cameron Colvin maybe.
@ JHS: Cam Colvin.
if TP reads this blog and it has any effect on his decision to go to tOSU then he belongs there because nobody here is going to effect what happens to him at either school and he should be smart enough to know that.
I actually don't mind the vet gsims, just like seeing you fired up. nothing better than a fired up HS football coach.
Did the guy that talked about the williams girls ass get in trouble? That was classic.
@chitown
Merril Hodge had a pretty decent career, had a lot of yards for a FB. The reason he retired so young, is he took to many hits to the head.
http://www.pro-football-referenc...eMe00.htm?
redir
Salisbury sucked donkey as a QB though.
im with JHS im assuming pryor is tOSU bound
Hodge is another example of my "crazy people come from Idaho" post yesterday.
Bob- the comments chad henne made about Ryan Mallet were right on. They basically were voicing the opinion of the program and not b/c SL left. Mallet wanted to leave. And we are better for it.
OT but who the hell is mike smith that the falcons hired?
Mike smith was the Jags DC.
Cam Colvin has not done much at oregon I can't even find a page for his career stats.
The rumor was that he went to Ore. because Braylon came back for his senior season. Colvin was believed to be AA bound if Braylon left.
ONly reason I bring it up is because TP could pick Ore. although it is unlikely.
Sorry if this has already been posted (I don't feel like sorting through all of the Corvette comments to find the football ones)
But more QB transfers may be on the way for UofM
http://collegefootball.rivals.co....asp?
CID=764693
Mallet's move doesn't surprise Henne
Rich Rodriguez's hire at Michigan has been one of the biggest storylines in college football over the past month. Rodriguez's hire will bring many changes, most notably to the Wolverines' offense. Former Michigan quarterback Chad Henne said he expects to see a whole new look from the Wolverines in 2008.
"I think it's going to be a lot different," he said. "(Rodriguez) is bringing the whole spread offense, and a lot of the quarterbacks are looking elsewhere.
"Ryan Mallett already transferred and two of the other quarterbacks are staying for spring ball to see what happens. It's definitely a change at the quarterback position, and we'll see how it works in the Big 10."
Henne said Mallett's decision to leave for Arkansas wasn't a surprise. Henne said the move was in Mallett's best interest.
"It was good for him to leave," Henne said. "Obviously none of us (Michigan) quarterbacks are spread-offense quarterbacks, and he wanted to go to an offense where he could throw the ball."
that stuff on meyer is pretty petty- it's not like he bought the guy a car
resounding applause...way to go Bri... let this "issue" die.
letstalkcorvettes...
that thread of course was a joke, becasue everyone was obsessing about pryor and and the photo
i challenge you or anyone for that matter, to talk more "football" then i do when i post here....
when gsimmons speaks on football, we listen. He's tight with Barwis ya know.
gsims is the resident football guru on these here interwebs and ebays.
gsims,
you gave the whole breakdown on the new zone blocking vs. the old one right?
I didn't get the impression that "Letstalkcorvettes" was calling anybody out...
I don't mind the Mallett comments. My point was that he needs to stop talking about how QBs that want to throw ball might not want to be at Michigan. I know that is not his quote, but that is the implication.
he better not be calling out gsims, one call to barwis' wolves and it's over.
gsims is wise...
What Henne should be saying is how he had a great time at UM and that is the best place to play college football, something to that effect.
Has Manningham said a word since the season ended other than his declaration for the draft?
hey now, calling out or not....
when you get my panties in a wad over the whole ripping on vettes thing, you can better believe im extra sensitive....
gsims turds look like footballs and smell like Tom Brady.
Or do they look like Tom Brady and smell like footballs... I can never remember.
schiano say-
henne say what he want
mallet play where he want
pryor get paid what he wants
but you all want schiano
all i know is that i need another tweekie.... and august better get here real fast....
gsims = football dalai lama
@Gsmims
Why were people ripping on Vettes? My grandpa helped design the Vette back in the late 70's/early 80's, he got one of them for free.
Nothing wrong with American Muscle cars.
I heard gsimmons came up with a cost-effective national health-care plan that garnered the support of both sides of the aisle.
He's also the one that caught, and hung, Saddam Hussein.
his teers cure cancer...problem is he never cries.
oh i see make a joke out of the stupid football coach....
i get it,
is this like when we voted that real fat girl as homecomming queen?
exactly like that.
Sorry if this has been discussed already but I just watched BJ Daniels clips over at Rivals and I must say I'm a fan. The guy has the mobility and definitely a decent arm to go with it.
Part of me thinks I'd almost prefer him over Pryor if Pryor's other option wasn't OSU. Along those lines, I'm beginning to think of Pryor's potential in an offense outside of RR's. IIRC Vince Young really struggled early on (the guy threw like a freaking girl in our Rose Bowl game, which I think a better defense would've exploited) and I haven't seen much out of Pryor's clips to make me think he's going to be anything better early on. Senior year VY at OSU is obviously what we all fear, but how quickly can Pryor get to that level before he's gone?
gsimmons:
no, its more like the time that i banged the real fat girl that was voted homecoming queen because, hell, it seemed like my only chance to ever bang a homecoming queen.
gsimmons - I'm not making fun of you at all. I'm making fun of the dogged worship that you engender among people. I, personally, find your points useful, and educational.
i always knew karma was going ot get me, pay back for all the nerds i through into lockers and skinny kids i knocked out on the football field...
i knew my time was comming, just never thought it would be on a message board....
paybacks are a bitch.... but i will take it like a man...
is this like when we voted that real fat girl as homecomming queen?
Sort of like that. Hopefully you don't make this comment thread explode into flames while soaked in pig's blood.
Also, here's what Luginbill had to say about TP during his ESPN chat (nothing earth shattering):
-----------------------
Doug (Eugene, OR): What is the latest news about who Pryor is leaning towards for his college?
Tom Luginbill: (3:12 PM ET ) Okay, I am posting this question to clear things up about what fans think we think about Pryor. First and foremost, he will be making his decision with us on NSD live to open our show so what I/us may know between now and then will not be able to shared with anyone- sorry, but that is what our coverage on NSD is for. Second, we have never, ever said Ohio State is out of the mix-ever. What we have said is that they may not be as high as they were back in November due to Oregon, Michigan and LSU's push. Do they have a great shot? of course they do, but it may not be as easy as as it was before. I do know first hand that David Cutcliffe leaving Tennessee was a huge blow to Pryor as Tennessee had a much, much better chance than any of you out there truly know.
gsims,
I know a good deal about the technical side of football (schemes, technique fundamentals etc.) and still find all of your posts informative. You just take our crap better than the people in our real lives do, so we throw it like monkeys.
we all know RR wants to sign 2 qb's this class, now idk if going after feagin and bj daniels hard means he doesnt think he has a shot with pryor and is trying to land those 2 or, knows he has a great chance with pryor and just is trying to land 1 of those guys
Luginbill? Luginbill!?! I do not know what else to say about that.
keegan,
i love taking it like that...
its not something that i get to deal with on a daily basis...
the idea of someone talking back to coach simmons would be pretty funny to people around here...
its kinda like when i go up to someone and say "hey big guy"
@gsimms
I too find your analysis and commentary on football quite informative, keep it up.
whats the deal with bj daniels? strengths and weknesess-wise.
gsimms
you are no schiano!!!!
but you're okay
you'll take our $h!t and like it!!
Of course that is, if that's okay with coach?
gee....thanks guys...
looks in mirror, see i am good enough, and i am smart enough, and dog gone it, people like me....
bgh, havent read much on him, but from the film ive seen he's a bigger guy looks more physical like a tebow..showed some good arm strengh i dont think he is near as fast as feagin or pryor..at least it didnt appear as such
but vettes ARE cool....
@ gsimms
OK, now you're going a little to far...if its ok with you
OK, gsims if officially an idiot.
Dana J is absolutely right.
ND's use of Jesus as a prop/de facto mascot for their football program is completely blasphemous, hypocritical, and offensive.
They should be called out on it.
End of story.
Orlando:
he sounds really intriguing. we dont need a guy to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. im very comfortable with a guy with a decent arm and the ability to scramble consistently for positive yardage. that was troy smith's MO and worked well enough, especially in the big ten. plus i like the idea of a bigger, more physical guy, especially the later we get into the big 10 season. we've got enough straight-up athletes (matthews, hemingway, potentially mcguffie and stonum) to run out of the backfield/bubble screens/etc so i'm failing to see how getting a qb with a 3.40 40 is going to make us that much better.
but Jesus does want ND to win more than other schools. Except BC because they're Jesuit and that is the society of Jesus.
Dana Jacobson has to be the first person who's ever gotten into trouble for saying something offensive at a fucking celebrity roast. Watch ANY celebrity roast and the things people will say are ten times worse than anything she said. Maybe the real problem is that she seemed to be, um, completely pissed drunk when she said it.
Gary Moeller understands, shoog...all is forgiven.
bgh, agreed 100% the more and more i hear about pryor im getting sick of it, lets just get someone in there that has like you said a good arm and the ability to scramble a little bit and we will be fine
Terrelle told some1 in my class tday that he was sick of all of this and he couldnt wait to get to columbus.
the Gary Moeller firing irks me to this day. horrible, horrible decision that showed absolutely no class or integrity.
I can't wait until this is all over
no way he told someone in my class the same thing except he couldnt wait to get to AA
Moeller resigned. Was it forced? Probably.
orlando, i also like the idea of someone with a chip on their shoulder. like a mobile/athelete-type qb who flew under the radar (due to TP dominating the radar) and is excited by the prospect of deflating the ballyhooed.
Student, He will be in C-bus the third Saturady in November. He will be one of the sixty kids in Winged Helmets.
I heard he was going to App. St. But that's from a girl who is in my chem class who isn't really popular, so no way TP would talk to her.
caup '91 , youre right, it was technicalyl a "resignation." then again, nixon technically "resigned," too.
OK I am going to come clean...TP is my son. He is going to cinci with DJ Woods.
bgh, good point, i heard if florida st. offers him it will be tough to keep him away...but i like how RR is going hard after him..i think daniels or feagin is a must get for this class
I agree that the 1100 club issue is probably petty. I'm sure there were proper controls. I know a couple of those donors, and they'll probably just shrug. What may be an issue are tax and overhead implications.
An example from my own experience: the WVU Foundation funded my research as the passthrough org while I was there, and it sure seemed to me that the U skimmed a heck of a lot off the top of my grants as overhead. While that's completely aboveboard, it may be that internal "laundering" that's the real issue.
Incidentally, Beilein is paying his buyout into the foundation as well; this was negotiated as part of his settlement and has some very real tax advantages to him. RR may not get that break.
Orlando:
is there any particular reason fsu hasnt offered yet? anyway, it seems like its such a program in turmoil with a debatedly senile head coach that it would not be that attractive of an option. at the same time, the kid probably grew up loving FSU and you cant fault anyone for choosing a school based upon that.
BGH,
I heard they were going to offer on his visit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that somewhere.
bluewolverine re: Jesus/ND
RIGHT ON.
There's something nostaligcally quaint about old-school cheaters like Bobby Bowden.I'd much prefer that brand of cheating to this new school Urban Meyer "I'm a snake" type bs.
FSU has a commit from the #2 dual threat QB EJ Manuel - I don't think they are going to add another QB in this class.
@ jeannette student
well who cares anymore, we'll all find out in a couple weeks anyway. we need to get over pryor. after he rides the pine all next year, we'll see him in ann arbor splitting time with Henton. so what, I don't even care anyone, one dude isn't going to make us or break us.
dont know when they were going to offer or why they havent, also usf is hard after him and seems to like them. he has 3 more visits to memphis, alabama and middle tennessee...doesnt look like michigan is going to get a visit out of him so i dont knwo if that will play a role
EJ Manuel is a pro-style QB, not a dual threat, IIRC.
EJ Manuel:
http://rivals100.rivals.com/view...=1&
pr_key=57377
dual threat guy - 4.6 40.
JHS - My bad on that one
JHS:
most of the recruiting sites list him as a pro style QB. I had no idea he had a 4.6 40.
Buckcrazy, the ohio state recruiting guru says "bet the farm that TP is headed to Cbus"
I've been a big FSU fan for a while (obviously I'm way more of a UM fan)but thats the only reason I know about EJ manuel. He played in the ESPN HS game, looked quick with a good arm, he's sold on FSU though, might even start as a frosh since Weatherford blows.
yeah BGH, coulda sworn Rivals had him as a pro-style earlier.
truth, i saw that..they say he is "credible" but he's not an insider for scout/rivals and they're saying he has been wrong before..so whon knows
is anyone else starting to feel like these "recruting gurus" are just middle-aged creeps who cant get laid. i mean, we're talking about 17 year old kids whose relatives and coaches both seem to have no idea what is going to happen, but a random ass dude who rolls by the psuedoname "buckcrazy" knows whats going on?
BGH re:
Lemming=creepy
the patriots interviewed jamarr adams tuesday..thats pretty cool
i would not be surprised to hear, somewhere down the road, that lemming owns child porn bunker/ghb lab somewhere.
Orlando,
Think they'd take him? They drafted Meriweather last year out of Miami. Is Adams projected at SS or FS?
Lemming does have that bunker. It's under Charlie Weis' office.
orlando, apparently he's been wrong once before on someone who made a last minutes switch but other than that he's been dead on. I mean none of this should surprise any of us. OSU has been recruiting this kid for well over a year, we have for about 2 months. We all need to collectively move on and start hating TP for the buckeye he is/will be.
If rich rod can land at least one QB who can run - I think we'll be fine, obviously best case scenario is pryor, but I really don't see that happening.
not to mention that this was before his UM visit, conveniently this post went up right around that infamous dinner party.
they have him listed as a CB on scout?!? for some reason, i think they could take him...they also interviewd another CB out of iowa..maybe they plan on losing somebody next year
yeah we need to move on and start thinking about someone else, if we get him great..if not ok we didnt expect too.
also espn reporting that ncaa is doing a 2nd investigation on urban meyer..it is espn so take it how you'd like too
keegan: your comment unfourtunately conjured up thoughts of big charlie eating an entenmann's strudel with is hands while watching a malaysian dvd whose title loosely translates to: exstreme twinks.
ugh.
No way he plays cb. He could barely cover good TE. I like Adams but no way he's an NFL cb. Maybe the pats are thinking Nickle back for him.
The more cbs the better its not like Doug Dutch is going to do anything.
I think Adams would be a SS, the Pats interviewing him makes since, they could get him in the late rounds and have him be the heir apparent to Rodney Harrison (who will probably be retiring soon).
dammit - makes sense not makes since.
BGH,
Wow!?!?!?!?!
Doug Dutch,
I wish you'd have gone to Miami.
sweet name though. i wish my name was doug dutch.
I swear doug dutch had a touchdown catch in '05 in the wisconsin game, I thought he caught that fleaflicker for a TD. But the more I think about it the more I think manningham had that catch. Anyone remember for sure?
TheTruth- I think you are making a common mistake. Michigan as a school has not been that agressive on TP until recently. What I do not think any one really knows is, how hard have RR and MaGee been going after him and for how long. I think that is the key.
IIRC UM recruiting TP very early on but he dropped us because of Mallett. I thought TP was interested soley because of Loeffer.
JHS - It wasn't DD.
My roommate's a huge canes fan and was so pissed when Dutch went to Michigan. Then last year when he was in on Sp. Teams he looked at me and just laughed. Then he realized he's a canes' fan and just got real quiet.
gsimms
we all luv ya man. Come on everyone, can we get a blogwave hug it out moment.
I prefer my Acura TL over a Vette any f'n day. That car is sweet, take my word for it.
Orlando and JHS and anyone else I forgot to mention.
Thanks for all the info guys, watch out for that scoutguy coming after you.
Speaking of recievers who didn't pan out does Laterrel (sp?) Savoy have any chance of playing next year?
lol @ "and then he realized he's a canes' fan and just got real quiet"
man im remember savoy when he commited thinking he was going to be such a stud
In '06 one of the preseason mags had Savoy as one of 5 breakout RS players of the year. I got all excited about him and then MM went nuts and I forgot all about him. He's got to be in the mix this year with the departures.
scoutguy is going to get us
um gee, thanks mick...
this is what my car looks like...
http://members.cox.net/bjmieras/WS6.jpg
Gsims please tell me your car is a stickshift.
Wonderful, Brian. Such an easy thing to blow out of proportion and write about daily, especially for a blogger such as yourself, and you of all people decide to be the voice of reason and get back to talking off-season football.
Good on you. Keep up the great work.

If scoutguy comes after you, we got your back dude!!
yeah its a 6 speed
that thread of course was a joke, becasue everyone was obsessing about pryor and and the photo
i challenge you or anyone for that matter, to talk more "football" then i do when i post here....
No clue what you're talking about. As mentioned, I hadn't bothered reading throug the corvette-related posts, and still haven't. I'm guessing from your respons that you made a lot of them.
BTW, I know it's a joke, I just wasn't going to bother sifting through all of the "humor" to see if I'd missed any actual football conversation.
And while I wasn't calling you out then, I will note that those who offer the loudest (and most unsolicited) complaints/defenses often do so out of their own feelings of guilt. So if the shoe fits, feel free to wear it. ;-)
So... has there been any prevous conversation on the possibility of other QB transfers? If so, would someone please point me in the right direction?
I hope scoutguy goes after HaloScan and kicks its ass.
I think Savoy's problem was that he didn't work hard enough - so Lloyd only gave him garbage time.
gsimms
Is that really your car? If it is sweeeeeeet!!!!
mick, no that isnt my car...
just what my car is and looks like...
i just googled for a pic of one...
Isn't he like 6'3"-6'4" with good speed?
im gunna throw you in my delorean and gun it to 88
I'm glad Lloyd did have a dog house but sometimes I wish it hadn't been so easy to get into and hard to get out of. I will give him credit for not holding a grudge once a player got out of it though.
Savoy has good size and speed, IIRC.
Gsims, I always picture you as an IROC-Z guy, is your WS6 silver. (Totally impressed you have a 6-speed, it is totally lame to get an auto on a sports car)
Well gsimms
I'm sure one day when you get that multi million dollar contract @ you name it college, that you will drive any car you want.
Also, when that happens, don't forget about us little folk.
Orlando. I was on a date once. the girl i was with made some comment about being so cold she was shaking. and my dumbass was like ha ha, youre like michael j fox, only cold. i didnt get a second date.
BGH
Worth it.
@gsims
what do you think our base offensive set will be my guess is 3wrs and FB RB. I have a feeling we are going to see a ton of formations - and no more fullback shuffle!
haha thats hilarious, sometimes you have to sacrifice a date for the sake of a good joke
2.1 jigawatts, 2.1 jigawatts....Ahh I loved Doc Brown.
Don't forget the flux capicator.
anyone know how RR used the TE?
Block or pass.
autumn thunder has an exclusive Photo of Pryor's actual Corvette, the black one is just a decoy.

letstalkcorvettes...
forgive me for being defensive... your handle, seeing how this is the first time that i have seen it, would indicate that you were upset at me, for yes, i did start all the jokes involving the vette. However if you look at the subject of the thread, you would see it had to do with a stupid photo, and we were meerly having fun with that topic...
now if you will look at posts below the said picture post. you would see that the conversation was not about vettes, but rather on the fact that Henne had made some comments to the effect that yes, the other qb's are in fact nervous and will wait till spring to see what happends...
i take it from your last post, that you are indeed calling me out. since you and anyone on this board that has asked knows exactly who i am, where i live, what i do, and how to reach me, i would think you should know why i post here, and what i see my role as.
if you have a problem with me personally, and many many people in this world do, then by all means, drop me an email and we can discuss it individually
We have a lot of TE talent, my guess is RR will try to get those guys the ball a couple times a game, I'm thinking the TE will be more about receiving than blocking, because RR likes mutiple reciever sets, so a TE won't be on the field too often.
yeah if i make millions, i will still have the smae car.... i have owned 4 firebirds in my life... and will always have one...
about base offensive set, problaby a lot like the offensive set you saw us come out with agasint florida....
interesting to see how rr uses our te's.... will he line them up in slots... and match them up agaisnt nickel backs... will he put their hands in the ground, or will he not use them at all? i loved the comment RR made during the big run by the TE, durng the florida game...
My money is on gsimms v. letstalkcorvettes!!!
but the problem is, guys who look and act like me dont get too many dates.
oh well, im just waiting to be old and rich so i can marry someone 25 years younger than me.
This constant posting about the incompetence of virtually EVERYTHING West Virginia is starting to smell like a ploy to make US feel better about the coach we just hired.
Forget WVaU, forget Pastilong, forget Manchin.......
To hell with all thing Mountaineer (or mountainous, for that matter). Let's get to spring ball and see THE REAL proof of whether or not RR is indeed a good coach.....
In two months we can actually read something substantial that has real meaning.
usually spread temas with great te's will line them up on a slot...
or on the back side of a trips look...
in goaline situations esp.
jhs:
im trying to think of a spread type offense that featured (or significantly utilized) the te position. but i cant. we just have too many studs coming in to not use them, though.
grimsley had a great te agasint us last year... he killed us running backside posts and flag routes, away from the trip side....
yeah my ws6 is silver....
BGH
If you have sex with a girl, does that make it bisexual sex?
Just a rhetorical question, no malice intended. I like your comments actually.
i take it from your last post, that you are indeed calling me out. since you and anyone on this board that has asked knows exactly who i am, where i live, what i do, and how to reach me, i would think you should know why i post here, and what i see my role as.
if you have a problem with me personally, and many many people in this world do, then by all means, drop me an email and we can discuss it individually
No idea who you are, where you live, or what you do, why you post, or what your role is.
Wasn't calling you out at all initially. Did so the second time just to yank your chain a bit after the defensive response. No offense intended, and I have no issues whatsoever. (other than my own)
Cheers!
Letstalk,
Like the chinese firm I worked with a couple of years ago would say to me:
Welcome to the family!!
mick: not sure. ive sort of given up on women and their mindgames, anyway. now, im mostly into animals. animals dont try to fuck with your mind, they just try to get away.
names greg simmons,
i am a defensive coordinator at northwest guilford highschool 4-a school been coaching football for about 10 years
former highschool and college football player, post here becasue brian had asked for my input last year about some technique stuff, and from time to time will ask on my ipinion on stuff. i usually just try to give a caoching perspective to things...
now you know
mmmmm beastyality
mick: i dont call it beastiality, i call it "rolling with the punches"
^^^^^^^^^
funniest thing i have ever seen
Crap crappity crap crap. My intertubes went down just as I was starting a flame war with Corvette fans. So, the "Corvettes Rule!" Mafia wins by default, I guess. Damn.
How did the sex mustache discussion end, anyway?
cfaller, it got put on hold....
i got in trouble for talking about vettes.... then the whole thing got messed up when people started making uf me... i cried for a bit, but im ok now...
that should read, "making fun of me" guess im not quite back to normal after the verbal beat down i recieved....
i beleive someone called me, gasp, and "idiot" what? me? and my undgrad 2.5 gpa?
@gsimmons
Oh, did we get some righteous "let's only talk football" people in the threads? I'm sorry I missed that- I had so much fun pushing frank's buttons from way back.
I was pushing the sex mustache and corvette conversation HARD because there were a few too many people taking the Pryor sweepstakes seriously and getting all snooty about how Michigan's too good for this or that or MGoBlog's too good for this or that or be careful or we might end up like WFV fans or whatever.
It's a shame we've moved on, 'cuz I would have loved pissing those people off.
cfaller:
heres how it went:
1. initial mention of sex mustaches
2. gsimmons crying and being a little baby
3. gsimmons admitting to actually having a sex mustache
4. more gsimmons crying and acting like a little baby
5. Let'sTalkCorvettes comes on and starts talking trash about paul walker and rice rockets in general
6. more gsimmons crying and acting like a little baby
7. threats launched
8. more gsimmons crying and acting like a little baby
@gsimmons
I will say, however, that the classic Corvettes are pretty cool- you know, the ones with the big arches over the wheels? They looked like boobs or something...anyway, the old Corvettes are pretty cool.
The new ones (after 1980, or thereabouts)? Not so much.
cfaller,
you'll see it soon enough.
i have to go on to practice, so keep up the fight...
if its not x's and o'x or wiegth lifting or something cool like that, then the vette conversation has to live on...
even though you are a vette hater, in a battle i'll make arrows out of any wood....
big gay heart...
awesome...
you forgot the ...
big gay heart admits to sex with animals part of it though..
i think that is worth mentioning...
@big gay heart
Thanks for the summary. So, gsimmons has got a sex mustache (and a Vette- of course!), but did anyone start a Sex Mustache Mafia? I'm wondering if people want to start growing those things out...you know, to show unity with and protest the firing of sex mustache hero Gittelson.
gosh i remember in like 7 th grade, when i did have a mustache. it was so wierd, i mean what do you do? shave?
like it wasnt bad enough i was 6'1 i had to have facial hair...
now the only reason i dont shave and go with the grizzley adams look at times, is the hope that the scruff will make its way up to my receeding hairline...
gsimmons: i was trying to let that particular tempest blow over. although, in the right lighting, a well-groomed border collie can rival the good looks of even the hottest supermodel
cfaller96: no problem man, im here to please.
man i want a beard
also cfaller, no sex mustache mafia. apparently, there's not a lot italians on this board.
big gay, im in no means questioning your desires...
just thought it was a needed point...
although,
if you guys do make the trip to north carolina to hang out this summer or fall, and obligatory ride in the trans am with the t's off and night ranger or ratt playing in the background, is part of the package...
sure the football discussions and chalk talk, and workouts are nice, but the ride, man you have to take in that...
gsimmons: someone needs to question my desires. i cant keep living like this.
listening to sister christian while driving in a trans am? man..does life get better?
big gay heart
I'm 1/4 Italian, although I don't look it (mainly because the rest of me is German). Perhaps my bloodlines are the reason for my Vette hating. In any case, I think we can all agree that if TP can't manage to get something better than a 3 year old (or older) Corvette, then perhaps he's not suitable material for the Leaders and the Best.
Ironically, with all my mockery of sex moustaches, I confess I have a beard. I grew it out for a Halloween costume, and the wife really likes it, so...the beard has stayed.
ill even let you borrow some of my muscle shirts... after you complete my workouts of course....
Orlando
Don't tell C. Wilson you called him sister.
Why would Max Martin know anything about Barwis? Max transferred to Alabama then got kicked off the team. I think he just sat out his transfer year at Alabama A&M.
Your wife likes your sex beard.
cfaller, that is at the oldes a 2002- problaby a 2004...
you got any youth xtra small in those workout shirts gsimm?
so it could be as much as a 6 year old car., notice how new it looks... very sexy... bgh, dont get any ideas
Hoo boy- a Trans Am (with the Targa Top off!), Sister Christian on the tape deck, and me wearing a sex mustache and a wife beater...what more can a woman want in a man?
orlando you keep doing those push ups and youll need a 2x!!!!! yeah!
hey its not how people see you, its how you see your self!!!!
at least thats what my mom told me when i told her about all these internet bullies picking on me today!!!
cfaller, sounds like how they roll in west by gawd virginia
yeah push ups and a few protien shakes..ill be there gsimm..ill be there

Emails from Rich Rodriguez and his agent seem to paint a pretty clear picture that he was indeed growing very frustrated with the way WV was being run, and that he had been contemplating leaving over those issues (to A&M or FSU). Doesn't look at all like a money grub looking to jump, but rather a frustrated coach (probably with a bit of an ego).
Only thing I don't like is reaching out to recruits before telling his team...but that's pretty small potatoes.
The following is grounds for suspension at ESPN:
1) Insulting the Yankees;
2) Insulting the Red Sox;
3) talking about a team other than the Yankees or Red Sox
Lets not forget when they told John Kruk you WILL say the Yankees will be in first place by the end of July. He said but I can't say that honestly. They said then you better come up with something.
"The Pirates will be in first place by the end of July." --John Kruk
as for LetstalkCorvettes, i read your name and read it Let Stalk Corvettes
I'm so late on this convo, I'll just come back later.
ColsWolverine,
I think he was looking for ways to allow WV to compete since resources there aren't as plentiful as at Michigan, OSU, etc. Don't think he'll need to do that at Michigan.
a sex mustache isnt just a look. its a lifestyle.
the question you need to ask yourself: can you make it a mans world? cause if you can't, pretty boy, you'd better drop those dreams of gallavanting around with a thick and beautiful sex mustache asap.
A sex mustache isnt just a look. It's a lifestyle.
That...that...that can't be topped! (sniff "they should have sent a poet" or something). That's one of the best lines I've seen in awhile.
On that, goodnight everyone!
Travis:
Agree. Rich Rod knew he was a big fish in a small pond. He tried making the pond bigger. Fireworks ensued, Rich left for a bigger pond. Finis.
So, no Dejavu signs in the end zones? Really?
Is this gsimmons?
Hurray! Lets talk about other things! What do you say to a day without Jihad or Terrelle Pryor? Give us a feature on a football player who's doing good things or some other fluffy shit.
I ain't goin' nowhere, G-man. I may be going to OSU, but I will haunt you forever.
Pryor? Did someone say Pryor? Were you guys talking about Pryor? I swear I heard someone say Pryor? PRYOR!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I had to leave for class after my TE's question. I agree with gsims and putting them in the slot. Especially with Manbearfreak Butler's inability to do anything more than pillow fight with a DE. Is Kroger our big TE recruit. I know he gets used a lot at WR in HS so that bodes well for UM. Sorry to bring this back up late in the thread but class calls.
"Hey Chad, if your teams had won a few more games for that staff you love so much they'd probably still be there."
that's the incomprehensible thing about the offense we ran against Florida... if we ran that from the very beginning of the season, there's no Horror. We're a helluva lot more competitive against Oregon, we put up major points and yards against the teams in the middle of the schedule, thereby getting Mallett some additional playing time. Which means that we have a much better chance of beating Wisky, and give the Bucknuts a better game. Michigan goes into the off-season with a tremendously potent offensive approach, which means in turn that Bill Martin is not going to hire a coach who will turn it upside down. Maybe it even means that English gets a more serious look, having been DC on a 10-2 team at worst going into a BCS bowl. If Carr & Co. wanted to guarantee a complete overhaul of the staff, they couldn't have done it any more effectively.
The Wisconsin game, we didn't even try to play.

so we got us a qb coming to town to visit. Run-pass QB Justin Feagin (6-0, 195, 4.6) from Delray Beach Fla., American Heritage. Visited by QB Coach Rod Smith. Visits already taken: Louisiana (Dec.) and Syracuse (Ja. 11). LSU, Michigan, Oregon are also vying, and U-M has locked in the Feb. 1 date.
says if he likes michigan he will commit on the spot
It is too bad that Dana Jacobson has to be anywhere near Skip Bayless at any time in her life.
Fuck Jesus.
Yeah, I said it. ESPN already suspended me for saying Pat Forde ate his own poop out of a blender, we'll see what they do here.
Musket, WTF is this post supposed to mean? I don't care if you are a hostile atheist or not, but anyone whose thought process takes them to a place where you slide this crap in under the weak guise that you're calling out ESPN is about as low a form of life as there is.
If it somehow me not understanding a clever joke, then you're right, I don't get it.
BlueSeoul, then it was a shitty roast. Just because it is a roast doesn't mean that EVERYTHING is in play. Let's all get a big hee-haw out of child molestation, colon cancer and AIDs.
Let's stick to sports, people.
hahaha lloyd car will be on cstv on feb 6 signing day for commentry hahaha this will be good
I think Alabama's recruiting class is tremendous.
yup, thats me!!!!!
stalkers come on out!!!
hehehe
no big deal, you'll know where i live when you guys all come down in the summer anyway...
It'll be interesting to see what Lloyd thinks on Michigan's new spread offense..
"I could have done that if I'd wanted to. I didn't want to show off."
everyone see this article pryors coach http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.d...S06&

jhs,
congradulations on being the michigan rep on that website of yours...
you know harding?
So what did Lloyd's new title end up being?
Why isn't he more involved in recruiting?
He's the assistant athletic director I believe. Dunno about recruiting.
Let's all get a big hee-haw out of child molestation, colon cancer and AIDs.
MDan, i guess you've never heard a roast before.
i can't condone the F jesus comment (mostly b/c it wasn't remotely funny), but i've heard MUCH worse on comedy central at 1am.
Do we seriously think he does ANYTHING? I picture him coming in to work, reading the paper, taking a dump, going out for a long lunch, and then staring at the clock for the rest of the day.
toledo, that to me is depressing. Just not enough enthusiasm. I am hard-pressed to think he is going to UM. Hope he goes anywhere NOT OSU.
It would be so funny to see OSU this year with a 45 year old Boeckman and hooker fiend Henton as their only two QBs.
im trying to find some programs that will make it easier for me to draw up stuff for you guys, so that i can illistrate what im tryign to say better... itll probalby be one of those things, where i have to email the charts either to individual people or to brian...
but i was thinking that alot of time the best convos we have are not neccesarily questions that brian is bringing up, but rather things that are being talkied about in the comments section, so if there was a place, where i could post x and o drawing stuff, that would be cool
but i dont want to do any work, so whatever...
Can't say I watch much Comedy Central.
My idea of a roast was watching Jonathan Winters come out as a hillbilly and crack up Dean Martin and Johnny Carson.
Not that I am 100 or anything.
gsimmons85, i used powerpoint...it was clunky, but c&p is your best friend.

this is what mike martin said about barwis “Man that guy is an animal,” Martin exclaimed. “He is a beast. “I would say that he stood out the most this weekend.”
When the recruits went to visit Barwis in the weight room, the youngsters were captivated.
“He showed quite a few exercises,” said Martin. “Then he got down there and performed them. I like a coach that can do the drills that he is showing you. He pulled out these big bouncy balls that you do crunches on and he jumps up on top on it. His assistant was throwing balls while he was catching them and keeping his balance at the same time. It was incredible.”
“It helps build your core,” Martin continued regarding the exercise. “He told us we all could do it. Mike Barwis said that we all will be able to do it although it doesn’t seem like that now. It does not matter where you start but where you finish.”
After witnessing Barwis’ exploits, Martin could only think of one word.
“Intense,” he said. “(Barwis) is very intense. Coach Rodriguez told all of the recruits that it is not a show. It is real and that he is like this all the time.”
The question now is, will Martin be in Ann Arbor the next four years to find out for himself?
no i need a football program, like the scout pro stuff...
but i dont have to do anything... its just alot of times you guys have questions about stuff, and i cant help you with out drawing it up.
orlando blue,
He told us we all could do it. Mike Barwis said that we all will be able to do it although it doesn’t seem like that now. It does not matter where you start but where you finish.”
does that quote sound familuar?
seems like i said that too you the other day about your work out...
i've seen parts of those older roasts, and i don't think winters was above a hooker/VD joke. or an AA joke wrt deano.
but the roasts these days are pretty vulgar compared to the the Martin/Carson et al days. definitely have heard worse than what dana jacobson said. imo, if she could have been the least bit cleaver/funny with the line, i could have passed. the killer was that it just wasn't funny, so much so that it came across as not intended to be funny, i suppose.
saw wear fred jackson was in houston today checking in on mcguffie and 09 qb phenom russell sheppard who is listed as the #2 qb and they are describing him as like watching percry harvin..if he played qb said he is quicker and faster than VY and TP..good to know we're getting after next year already

That good for you?
DanK: Fair enough...I am a prude.
toledo: I heard Martin was solid again. Anyone heard different?
Orlando: I bet these guys are drinking 6 or 7 Monsters a day and sleeping 3 hours a night. They must be putting on the recruiting road trip of all time.
This year I think will stumble to the finish line, solid but not spectacular. But give these guys a year of working it, and I think recruiting becomes lights out! It's not that Lloyd couldn't recruit, but there is no way you can tell me that the energy level with Lloyd's staff is where these guys are at.
Fred Jackson - got offa his pony in Houston yesterday, visiting mini-T and McGuffie ... and '09 QB phenom Russell Shepard ( michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=2&c=722544 ). Also Khiry Cooper in sorta-nearly Shreveport.
RR - was in SE Fla. yesterday, visiting Justin Feagin and Star Jackson ... stay tuned ...
RR today. Moving on westward in Deep Dixie...
RR will move up to Ohio tomorrow, visiting Patrick Omameh ... and, IMO, the Trottwood kids.
Jay Hopson - rumbling through Miss. ... Desmond Johnson, Charles Mitchell ... '09 CB David Connor, etc.
Greg Frey - rumbling through Fla. ...
-- Jackson, Feagin, Martavious Odoms all closetogether on the eastside, Palm Beach area north of Miami.
-- Rhonne Sanderson and T.J. Lawrence on the westside.
(one note: it IS interesting that Hopson and Frey are focusing in areas where, traditionally, kids have mainly been considered to have had too-poor grades for U-M ...)
Bruce Tall - rumbling through Ohio
-- new Columbus guys Patrick Omameh and Isaiah Pead
-- Solon LB Steve Greer in the North, plus Koger
-- the Trottwood Madison kids in the Dayton area
Calvin Magee - Jaron Brown and BJ Daniels.
Rod Smith cruising mid-Pa. for possibilities
-- Adrian Robinson and Joshua Potts, both in Harrisburg.
These guys are all cross-traveling to cover the kids at their position as well.
-- Hopson - LB
-- Frey - OL
-- Tall - DL
-- Smith - QB
-- Magee - slots and TEs
-- Magee and Shafer hitting, respectively, all offensive and defensive kids
dan, yes they are EVERY coach is on the road..a lot of them in the south...hopson is in mississippi, some in florida..i like how we are gettin into the south, hopefully we conitnue to establish ground there for future years
lol toledo and i are looking at the same thing..sorry for the double post
I have Rivals, but don't get nearly as good info as you two are reading. I am wondering if I should change.
hey is this stuff about cowherd reported that uf internally investigating myers for recruiting violations anybody here anything about that today
yeah i saw where the ncaa is doing a 2nd investigation on him
dan, just signed up yesterday with scout, have to say im very pleased so far
scout writer thinks pryor will choose um What five players are can't miss superstars and where are they going?
1. QB Terrelle Pryor - Big, fast, and smart. He has it all. He's the make-or-break recruit for Michigan, where he'd probably start from day one, but it's still a battle for his services.
Best Guess On Where He'll Go ... Michigan, but Ohio State is close
Right now, if I had to pick which recruit I wanted more - Nick Perry or TP - I would pick Perry. I think this guy is a beast and I really, really don't want to lose another top Michigan player to SC.
I also want to force RR to run a passing spread for my own selfish reasons (to prove he can do it again and shut up the Chad Henne's of the world who seem to think he is a one-trick pony).
Rivals has an interesting note on how UM is talking with Glenville about a small, scatback there. Only a two star, but I like that we maybe start worming our way into that OSU farm system.
did everyone see this one http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/
ne...ce=NCFHeadlines
i too want to see the pass spread..i loved the cap 1 bowl offense
anyone get the feeling that toledo man is tom beaver and scout guy is sam webb? toledo/TB advertises all the insider info here and scoutguy/SW guilts everyone into subscribing. a week from now, toledo guy will disappear and everyone will flock to scout.com. everyone will have recruiting withdrawal b/c they won't have toledo spoon feeding info to them 10 days before D-day.
Yeah William Lowe. I think the fact of opening up the Ohio State stronghold more-so then getting him is the main reason we're going after him. Glenville was impregnable until this season when Illinois took a 4 star WR out of there. I hope we get him as having two players go to schools other then Ohio State will potentially open them up. Hopefully this'll get more players from Glenville to look at Michigan, like Marcus Hall for next season.
It's interesting, we busted USC's stronghold on Long Beach Poly in their backyard last year. Maybe we can bust OSU's stronghold on Glenville in essentially their backyard...
did you guys read that article has emails from wfv to rr and shit real good stuff there
This is some great news from Rivals: "Also had a good talk with Marcus Witherspoon tonight. He and Jay Hopson have been talking just about every other day and Hopson will be in his school tomorrow. Spoon really likes Hopson and that relationship is certainly a plus for Michigan. Still torn, though, but I think when you read his comments after I put the article up, you'll feel better about the chances he sticks with Michigan."
The first positive Spoon news I've seen in a while. Go Hopson!
m dan, that is huge!
Yes, if we keep Spoon with Fitz, Demens, Hill and add a kid like Greer to the redshirts Herron and Evans, I can see a lot of stud speed flying around at LB in the coming years.
the monkey ads pretty well characterize the wvu athletic department, toledo man.
Barwis wades in...
"Individual workouts have been quite an adjustment for these guys (Bo-esque). It will be interesting to see who lasts, but I'll say this ... I spoke to Dick Caldarazzo, starter on the '69 team, for a recent article, and he said those who didn't make it or chose to quit back then were not guys who were going to help them win. The strong will survive.
Not sure if we ever posted this, but we've heard Brett Gallimore is moving to California to become a cop. Not that we were expecting him to suddenly become a valuable contributor, but already down Ciulla and Mitchell, well ... the numbers continue to dwindle.
This has been quite a wake-up call. These guys are not here to make friends."
im pretty excited about the D this year..suspect at linebacker but with Barwis i think they could be nuts out there, knockin peoples heads off
The hardest thing about recruiting Glenville is that Ted Ginn sr. IMO tells his players to go to OSU and to avoid UM like the bubonic plauge, IMHO he is in Tressel's sweatervest pocket.
And @toledo man and Orlando - thanks for the updates.
I like the fact that if Feagin likes UM he says he will commit on the spot, guy could be a real sleeper player.
Lack of intensity has been my single biggest gripe about the team the last few years. Looks like Barwis is taking care of business in that department.
am i the only one that is more interested in reading about barwis than any of the other coaches?
Assuming U-M still has 17 commits (it looks like the LBs will look-likey-likely stick, which takes the pressure off on having to find more of those) ... how to get to 25?
(for background to this question, it's easiest to look at: mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=162&am...p;sto=pagestart )
18. Nick Perry (being an optimist...)
19. JT Floyd (again, being slightly optimistic)
Then ... where will the six more come from?
20. looks like OL Patrick Omameh will come if U-M pushes ... Rhonne Sanderson is a possibility as well.
21-22 ... R2A2 wants 2 QBs ... will it be Pryor and Feagin???
23-24 ... R2A2 would like 2 slots ... will it be 2 of mini-T, Martavious Odoms and Michael Shaw???
25. Will there be a DB? T.J. Lawrence or Jaron Brown or Charles Mitchell???
U-M seems to have the least margin of error at QB ...
toledo, I like your thinking. I think...
Perry: Want. So. Bad. Don't think we get him.
Floyd: Slam dunk.
Feagin: Likely.
Shaw: Likely.
Lowe: Likely
Robinson/Brown/Lawrence: One of these guys.
OL: A couple nobodies.
Last, a couple three stars on D - maybe Greer or a CB/Athlete.
That's 25 with one to spare.
46 Visitors Online
...and me with spotty wireless. Stupid hotels.
Anyone else seeing the visitors count again?
I'd love Michigan to say to TP: "We'd like you to get back to us by this Friday with a yes or no on our offer. We want you badly, Terrelle, but we are in a precarious situation right now and, if you choose to go elsewhere, we need to know before signing day."
Then, if he says yes, no problem. If he says no, we go big after a kid like Daniels, who, the more I read about him, is humble and skilled and every bit as likely to be a big-time CF player as TP. Daniels says this: "I'm very interested in Michigan, but how much could depend on Terrell Pryor and if they land him. There is no question Michigan is a great program and with Coach Rodriguez coming in, the coaches from Michigan have stated that they will be running the spread offense which fits my style very well. I don't have an official offer but I have been hearing from Michigan a considerable amount lately."
I'd rather have a bird in hand than two in the bush. And if asking TP for something now scares him away, then shoo.
i agree
46
I agree with the 1 in the hand. Hopefully if we could land Daniels, that may encourage Feagin to come too. It may help the impression that he has a chance to be the starter. Having TP as a #1 overall generally means coaches put a ton of stock in him being a #1. I'm having trouble wording this clearly, but I hope it makes sense.
Nice to have the visitor counter back.
Yes, visitor count appears to be up again. Given Henne's comments recently, if Pryor doesn't go blue, should RR go after 3 QBs?
ok time for me to go to work goodnight
The visitors count is now back, hoorary!
and I'm with MDan (re: TP).
if Pryor is going to give us the run around and then runaway - that is not good for the program, this feagin kid sounds promising, though.
Like I've said before, until TP faxes his LOI to AA, I'm assuming he's not coming and is going to OSU.
Side note - "Gilbert Godfrey" was on Stoney and Wojo today and he said "What's said at a roast stays at a roast," couldn't agree more. If "Fuck Notre Dame" is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I think two would be fine, maybe not ideal, but fine. I think Threet has a good chance at becoming the starter. Having a good option as a freshman now as well as a backup means we get at least 3 guys. Hopefully we never come to having to use a third starter. Its extremely rare we or anyone go to a fourth string.
Plus, only getting two makes the position open to a recruiting next year's crop of QB's.
Anyone else watching the moment of truth on Fox?
What's with the quotes on "Gilbert Godfrey?"
I'm hoping for Pryor, obviously.. but if we don't get him we'll be fine with Feagins and/or Daniels this year, and any of the dual QBs (Sheppard, Newsome, or Crawford) next year.
How's the moment of truth? I've never heard of it.
formerly, I agree. And the more I think about it, a "shit or get off the pot" request to TP, worded nicely, of course, seems like a smart play. No way Daniel commits to UM if he thinks TP is in play. Since TP appears to be in play right up to signing day, Daniels is a pipe dream.
It'd be pretty sweet if RR went up to Pryor and asked him flat out: "Are you really going to attend Michigan? If you're not please tell me now and I'll respect your decision, but I need to know to see if I need to recruit another QB or not."
Too bad I'm dreaming.
The Gilbert Godfrey is in "" because it sounded like an impersonator, if anyone else was listening to Stoney and Wojo maybe they could confirm this, but I can't imagine Godfrey calling up Stoney and wojo (like he knows who they are).
So far so good - the moment of truth is pretty funny.
Players don't have to sign on NLOI day, remember. It's just the first day that they can. The whole point is to give kids time to think it over without being pressured by a coach.
That kind of question would be appropriate after 2/6, not before.
I understand what you're getting at, but didn't Pryor said he's committing ON NLOI day? If he goes to OSU we'd have to recruit Daniels/ Feagins really fast unless they don't plan on making their decision for a while. Do you know when they're deciding?
If you don't sign your LOI on NSD you run the risk of the signing class being filled and you not receiving a scholarship to that school.
Come on, Tenn. Ask for a verbal, not to sign. Just as Chris says. If he won't, you say, "Thanks for considering Michigan. We are in a tough position, so we're going to go after some other kids with the information that you won't be coming. We have to do that because you are that good, some kids won't come to sit behind a star for 4 years."
And by the way I'm not trying to sarcastic, I don't know when they're deciding so I was asking you.
IIRC I can't think of one big recruit who declared after NSD. Kids are either going to commit early (like McGuffie) or commit on NSD (like Pryor). Committing later, as I said earlier, runs the risk of the class being full, and your commitment will not be honored.
I just had a long couple paragraphs on my worrying about TP screwing us, both by getting him or by not getting him. It was long, generally incoherent, and man did it bum me out about the next 3 years of Michigan football.
Man do I need a drink.
Well there's Noel Devine last year, but he had some problems with academics not being able to get into FSU and all. He committed to West Virginia in March, I think. I'm just bringing up an exception to that rule though, JHS.
Maybe I'm being overly fussy. But they're not required to say anything until NLOI day - verbals are a nicety, not a necessity.
I think the rule is that a kid can voluntarily declare earlier, but cannot be required. Withdrawing a scholarship offer due to an unwillingness to make an early commit isn't kosher, I don't think. Otherwise everybody would require it all the time.
Tenn, I don't know about that. I just read an article about June Jones pulling an offer for some kid down south.
TennBlue, that's actually how Texas recruits. Mack Brown offers you the scholarship and you have a certain amount of time to accept, or else he'll pull it. Thats why their regularly in the Top 10 of recruiting when the season's only half way over, and that's ironically how we got Mallett last year. Arkansas had just taken Mustain, and Texas was forcing him to commit or get the scholarship pulled. They already had an verbal from 5* John Brantley (who later decommitted and went to Florida) so Mallett committed to Michigan.
Mdan, the problem with that is what is to keep tp from saying, ok then i will verbal to you... now michigan cuts off with other qb's but then on signing day he signs with osu.... kids say yes to people all the time, weather or not he would honor it would be as much a convo, as anything right now...
I certainly don't claim to be an expert on the rules. It just seems like if a coach could say, "commit now or never" back in October, there would be no need for NLOI day.
RE: Devine
No one though he was going to Academically qualify to play in '07, the conventional wisdom was that he was going to have to go to a prep school in order to be eliglble for '08, he commited to WV on NSD (IIRC), but there was all the speculation if he would qualify.
The only recruit (IIRC) I can think of who declared after NSD was Vidal Hazaleton - who was torn between USC and PSU(?) and finally decided on USC.
And a good point about schools leaving themselves wide open for getting screwed by kids who make a verbal to one school then sign with another.
May be legal, but I don't like it.
and people commmitt early to texas all the time, only to decommit later...
listen, nothing is legit, till they sign... kids can say anything, just like recruiters can say anything about other programs, about pormises to play early or whatever....
Perhaps you fucking idiots missed the email story from today. Or perhaps you just don't care b/c you really believe you did the right thing here. I happen to stand by the story that you are all just fucking idiots.
Not to mention you implicate OSU in the Corvette/Pryor thing. Odd. Only some with RR's sense of style would lure a recruit with a 4 year old used automobile. Exhibit A - the first lady of UM football, Rita Rod.
God, I can't wait to see you suffer with an RR team that doesn't have Pat White. That being said, I guess you are used to 8-4 seasons, so maybe it won't be that big of a deal.
Uhh thanks Lou Holtz, your commentary was appreciated around these parts, but now make sure the interwebs/ebays door doesn't hit you on the way out.
gs, I agree, but it would be a better situation to have an idea of the kid's mindset. I think we're playing a losing game here with Pryor. He likes the attention, probably knows where he is going and is waiting for NSD and the pop of the flashbulbs.
I'd like out of that. If I can get Daniels and another prospect for sure now or have a shot at TP, I take the former. The hell with this circus.
who the hell is this clown? that was so random.... did you realy just take time out of your busy evening to come on here and say that?
JHS, don't feed hillbilly trolls.
Crystal Meth is a hell of a drug.
mdan, absolutely that is ideal...
but that isnt going to happend... the top recruits have the upper hands on the university, there hands are tied...
of course if we could sing early, you would see colleges recruiting and signing kids as sophmores, only to pull that scholaship if that kid got hurt or under performed later in his career. the system is desgined to help the kids, while makign the playing field level for universites...
guys like pryor know how to use the system, but they are the minority.. most of these kids really do wnat to go to the best school they can...
I say go tell TP to go shit in his hat and get a kid that wants to play. Enough of this bull shit of I'ma make'em wait. Phuck that...NEXT!!!
I'm all for telling Daniels, hey, if you commit, we'll drop TP all together. It's the only way I see us avoiding the mess I almost just posted.
mack brown can hold kids feet over the fire.. michigan could try to as well... but first of all, he runs the risk of kids decommiting later be for national signing day, and also i guarentee michigna would find a place for TP even if they told him he may not have a spot, if at the end of the day he said he wanted to play for blue.... and it may be at the expense of a kid who thought michigan was going to be giving him a scholaship
If that is the real Louholzlisp he has posted on here quite often, thats why i was surprised seeing that come from him.
RE: NSD - to reiterate my point - that is the first day a recruit can sign a binding committ to play for a school. However schools frequently offer more scholies than there is space. So lets say they offer 26 scholies and 25 players fax their letter of intent to Example U. Recruit X sends his LOI the day after NSD, his committ will not be honored because all the scholies will have been filled. It is in a players best interest (especially if he is being recruited by a big name U) that he fax in his LOI ASAP.
And how did TP's bigass ears fit in that Vett?
gs, wisdom.
jhs, nice clarification.
I don't have much to say on this topic that hasn't been said yet...but Jelena Jankovic is definitely a butterface
mdan, im not trying to argue, just tyring to give a counter point...
we have all be frustrated by this process..
Is it unheard of for a kid to watch and see how another kid signs and then pull the trigger? For example, Daniels sits back and watches the Pryor circus and has in mind...
a) Pryor to UM, I go to Bama.
b) Pryor to OSU, I go to Michigan.
Does this happen?
Off topic - but what year is your WS6, gsims?
jhs 2002 last year of production
mdan, yes that happends all the time...
remeber vashon leonard? he didnt sign with michgian becasue of jimmie kings commitment...
MDan...yes, it happens...it's called Ego. What better way to show whos best with no hype than head to head comp!
louholzth? the email article shows what a bunch of liers the wvu president and wv governor are. they knew there were problems and that RR would leave if things didn't get fixed, then they act all surprised that he would leave. they could have kept him if they really gave a damn.
and there's no better song to play when cruising in a trans am than 'cum on feel the noise'
bluesoul....
i prefer you can still rock in america night ranger....
or interstate love affair
but QR is cool too
Gsims - funny that you have the last year WS6, a friend of a friend had one of the last Camaro SS's to come of the assembly line.
Yeah i remeber Voshon Lenoard, won the 3 point contest one year, I'm not even sure he is in the leauge anymore.
RE: QBs not named Pryor. ESPN is reporting that Pryor will be the first person to declare around 1205pm on NSD, if he puts on a hat that doesnt have an M on it I wouldn't be surprised if other qbs then quickly faxed their LOIs to RR.
Scenario 1: We land TP by some act of God or Satan, pending your belief. We don't get another backup. Cone transfers. Threet and TP compete for the spot, perhaps do some sort of platoon job. Here is a huge question mark on who wins the spot, and/or the offense RR chooses to run first. If he say I want to go straight to the option, its TP, if TP fails, we have to recreate the offense to fit Threet in mid season. If threet wins out, at least we can throw TP in there and let him experiment. I think its easier to throw an athletic guy in a pass spread than a slow guy in a run thread without preparing (therefore if its even close, I'm for Threet starting). We go into next year short on QBs no matter what. Threet TP and Sheridan(?). If one gets hurt and one either fails/gets hurt, we lose the rest of the season. The next season we have a chance to recruit two QBs.
Scenario 2: We don't get TP, we have all our eggs in his basket all the way down to signing day. We get no other QBs of ANY value. Threet is the automatic starter because it is between him, cone, and sheridan. We go into a slightly pass heavy spread, not too heavy as we have good RBs. We use Threet a year, if he succeeds at all, he earns the loyalty of RR and the fans, he's a three year starter in a passing spread. At the end of his term, we get a option QB of the pat white variety.
Scenario 3: We dump prior, pick up daniels and convince feagin that he has a shot if he can beat out daniels. cone transfers. sheridan drops? huge crapshoot on who starts but at least we have two guys who can run RR's main offense.

Why is Cone going anywhere?
Im sorry...I just jumped on the phuck pryor bus...and guess what...it was a one way ticket!
JHS, you encourage me. I hope that Daniels is patient on NSD.
For that matter, if you search that butterface girl, I want to say she's the one that had a yahoo question page asking if she looked like an orangutan,
@ form
you better believe i'm excited for the other semifinal
mdan, is that your blog?
sorry if i should know this...
and pulling for a sharapova/ivanovic final. that could redefine womens tennis
@MDan,
I'm thinking worst case scenario. And transfer is probably not the best word. Perhaps drops out due to system. This is based off of Henne's comments about them considering leaving. As I said, worst case scenario.
@Tubes,
I can only hope for a doubles game of Sharapova/Ivanovic vs Kournikova/Vaidasova. Kournikova is actually good at doubles. Vaidasova turned 18 on April 18th I believe (I had a MSU-esque count down clock last year).
Either way, it wouldn't be healthy to watch that.
I'm thinking that RR is telling these other QBs that he doesn't think TP is coming and that even if he does declare, I'll play the best available player, no matter what.
He might also be telling them - hey pryor is going to be the first to declare on NSD, turn on espn and if he doesn't go to UM, you come here and can start right away.
I have complete faith in RR, he hasn't fucked up... (yet?).
gs, yes that's my infamous Michigan blog, the very one that accuses the recruiting services of being rascist against white running backs and compared Lloyd to a monkey.
I just had to google image Vaidasova, but wow...

thats great mdan,
that is a great blog... sorry i never made the connection before... i bow to your wisdom from now on...
LOL, gsims, you are now a fixture and a legend on mgoblog. You bow to NO ONE. I pontificate, but know squat.
IMHO KOurnikova was always the best, then Sharipova, but thats just me.
being a fixture on a message board is one thing....
reaching 10's of 20's of die hard michigan fans, with great writing, is another thing all together...
i have neither the intelligence nor anything else to write a blog like you and brian do....
im a leach, that just happends to know a little bit about football and cars
@JHS
Oh I agree. Ivanovic is right behind the two. She sometimes looks better than Maria (I feel like I'm cheating on her). Something about the tan skin and dark hair. Compliments her light skin blond hair.
jhs yeah i liked her too, but before allof that, there was amanda coetzer...
my gf, that never was, but should have been..
Coetzer was much shorter than most of the new waves. Didn't quite have the upper body (boobs) of Anna. I've always been a sucker for hot tennis and volleyball players. The long legs and the tight shirts shaping to the breasts I guess.
liked how pissed off she always looked....
liked her being short too.... hot..hot...
nothin like misty may goin up for a spike huh form?
any time I hear hot I think "hot hot hot, hot hot hot, appalachian is hot hot hot."
I am haunted by mountaineers.
yeah everytime two of my former players, the football player, and a volleyball player from app call or write me, thats how they start hot, hot , hot
lol
I'd take Misty. She's not one of the hottest though. Out of all the girls I've dated seriously, all but 2 have been volleyball players. Early in the game it was setters and ds's. The short cute ones. Now its more the hitters and middle blockers.
You could project a movie on Jankovic's forehead. It's that huge.
thats the other thing, if you guys come down to nc, we can go up to boone,a nd beat up some app guys...
maybe run over some kittens...
Well I get free breakfast if I wake up before 830. Therefore I'm going to hit the hay now. Night everybody.
I'm down gsimm. Dont nod at me, by the way, I am most definitely not your friend.
Has anyone heard anything of substance re: RichRod impregnating a cheerleader at WVU?
I think the rich rod doing cheerleaders is just another baseless wvu rumor.
I'm out for now - great chatting with everyone.
Yes, he did, actually. He also married her. Rita is an ex-cheerleader.
Damn. I always miss the car talk and jump in just in time for pregnant cheerleaders.
So if Chris Fowler can announce Women's Tennis, why can't Lee Corso, or hell, even Brent Musberger. Jesus, the thought alone makes me cringe.

This is interesting:
"But many people around the country are starting to wonder: Is Meyer playing by the rules?
Not long ago, the Gators landed the top JuCo player in the country, six-four wide receiver Carl Moore, from Sierra Community College. Described as a “physical freak” by recruiting analysts, Moore would contribute immediately to an already stout wide receiving corps.
What we didn’t know at the time of the signing was that Moore’s girlfriend, Maranda Smith, also a former Sierra Community College athlete, was being recruited by Florida’s gymnastics team—allegedly by Urban Meyer also.
Moore and Smith are currently enrolled at UF, and Smith has already competed in an SEC gymnastics event.
The rub came when Smith went on record saying that Meyer began calling her “every day” about her coming to Florida—and asking about his prized recruit, Carl Moore, as well.
If that is the case, Meyer is wrong on two accounts: recruiting a player outside of his sport and making phone calls in excess of the allowed amount.
In response, University of Florida officials have begun a self-imposed investigation into the matter. Phone records will be checked and Meyer will likely be subject to questions no head coach wants to answer."
Women's tennis lacks the balls for Musberger to slobber on.
Unless he likes tennis balls.
I heard he really has a thing for hairless ones though.
Must be why Brady Quinn's shaved sperm dumpsters were always wet with Musberger spittle.

Completely off topic I know, but I felt it needed saying.

Re: cheerleaders
The only ones who would actually know are not talking. It remains salacious, unsubstantiated gossip. It would not shock me if it was true (like maybe 15 years ago or something), but given the current level of hysteria in Morgantown I don't put much stock in it.

Looks like more revelations coming out of the RR camp. A bunch of emails released to the Associated Press detailing RR's frustration at, among other things, not getting enough money to pay assistant coaches:
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.d...6/80124014/
1048
Sorry -- not out of the RR camp, but the Associated Press got them from WVU through a FOIA request.
That substantiates RR's earlier claims a little bit. At least there is some admission from that Walker guy that he knew RR was unhappy.
where is everybody at today? Nothing new to talk about? GO BLUE!
Where did this Daniels kid come from? This is the first I have heard of him but I just watched his highlights on youtube....He looks real good. Throws a nice ball on the run, and can make things happen. Granted it's only H.S. but he looks like a player.
where are all my stalkers at?
im changing all the plugs and wires in my ws6 this weekend, anyone wanna come help?
realize i didnt have to say "at" should never end a sentence with a prep. im sorry
I guess there si nothing new to talk about... oh well. that means I'll be productive.
Boo productivity. Hooray content! need more content!
I own a '67 Firebird 400 convertible. I bought it cheap back in the early 90s and restored it myself. It turns more heads than a 'vette. It doesn't see the ice and snow.
Nice comments on Rod on the front page of Rivals:
No offense to West Virginia, but it's not Michigan. How is Rich Rodriguez doing so far with the spotlight on?
From Tom Beaver, Publisher of GoBlueWolverine.com ... "Rodriguez, and staff, are impressing, and impressive, so far. Dismissing the whole coaching staff (except long-time RB coach Fred Jackson) was a real shock to recruits, and got several of the commits taking visits elsewhere. I didn't say so publicly, but when the whole staff was let go I thought recruiting would be in deep trouble, with half the really-good commit-class - and all the key commits - likely to leave. However, except for drop-back QB John Wienke who quickly and wisely jumped to Iowa, these kids are all coming back to the fold, and fast. This is quite a credit to RR and staff. Coach Rod himself puts the kids immediately at ease, and his staff is young and enthusiastic. And - crucially - they have hit the recruiting trail fast and hard. Special kudos to Chris Singletary, the recruiting coordinator who was retained, and how he kept these kids on the line until RR & Co could re-sell them ... masterful job for the young guy. Of course if RR doesn't land Terrelle Pryor, fans will panic (and rightfully so for the '08 season) ... but, to me, as a long-timer, regardless, Coach Rod has impressed me recruiting-wise (and I'm not easily impressed) out of the gate - especially with WVA's ludicrous attempted-Fatal-Distractions."
I don't know how much of this is rah-rah stuff for the fans, but it sounds nice, anyway.

my uncle use to race a 67 at detroit dragway back in the day....

all to detroit dragway....
great times, graet memories...
I loved RR's note to Pastilong to announce his resignation for two reasons.
1.) Pastilong is obviously the reason that RR left WVU. If Pastilong isn't there I guarentee we do not get RR.
2.) I think that is about all that Pastilong can read. To put numbers next to words in the same sentence probably took him all day to figure out what it meant.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE WE ANGERED THE FREEMASONS AND NOW THEY ARE ENGAGED IN A GLOBAL CONSPIRACY TO PREVENT US FROM KNOWING ABOUT THE COMING IMPACT OF ASTEROID TU-24 AND ARE CURRENTLY ENTERING THEIR SPACE PODS TO ESCAPE THE IMMINENT ARMAGGEDON OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

"all to detroit dragway...."
Wasn't that Woodward Ave back then. JK.
Unrelated to anything:
Steve Wilkos is having a prostitute town meeting. Now, admittedly, I'm not a cute guy, but noone could not pay ME enough money to sleep with any one of these women.
I am going on vacation effective immediately and partying like Heath Ledger until this asteroid hits us.
woodward was great too....
im talking during the 80's
we use to cruise and race on gratiot a lot, middlebelt... in westland
dex,
may i suggest a visit to one of those observatories (or whatever its called) places and actually watch it come at you...
that would be pretty cool....
I'd rather watch it from a top a pile of slaughtered SEC fans while I drink stolen booze and shove pills down my throat personally.
Hopefully I'll be able to make time to repent, just in case.
BJ Daniels - Did he say he is not anouncing until signing day? If so, it seems likely he waits to see what TP does. If this is the case I would feel alot better about the QB situation.
Today's sign that the apocalypse is upon us: Heath Ledger may have died snorting Ambien.
Dex...why are you always dissing masons?...just wondering
Because we made a couple Mason jokes the other day for some reason, which led to someone throwing out some really cryptic weird comments about how the Masons were instrumental in creating UM and how we should "watch ourselves" if we were going to joke about them.
Plus, they make Steven Guttenberg a star, and I really hated Three Men and a Little Lady.
@Bob
NSD is gonna be a zoo. I doubt we're gonna have any substantive info on our QB situation until then, so if we do survive the asteroid, the world may still implode when Pryor makes his announcement.
Plus, they make Steven Guttenberg a star
Is this true? If so, I hate the Freemasons too.
im thinking the big rock is somehow going to be blamned on RR...
Plus, they make Steven Guttenberg a star
Is this true? If so, I hate the Freemasons too.
No, not the freemasons, it was the stonecutters. Simpsonsology 101.
Well Dex...I understand that...being cryptic...well there is no need for that on a message board. But in all honesty...they did put up the money to fund the U of M many years ago...but that is public knowledge anyway.
Hmm... You seem to forget it was the Carr/DeBord regime that was always "throwing rock".
The Stonecutters are the Freemasons. They just couldn't use the real name for fear of murderous retaliation.
@tennblue
Karma is, after all, undefeated. God decided that if UM no longer wants to throw rock, he'll show us...
Philanthropy is very big with us. And the U of M was a great cause.
Dex...believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.
Im not here to start flaming...just came to chill.
For the record... MRG is correct that the original spelling of the song was "Cum on Feel the Noize." However, the credit for the inventive lyrical formation should actually go to a band called Slade. Quiet Riot covered the song, and the contradistinct spelling was indeed part of Slade's original composition.
Still, good catch!
And Brian, excellent post, as always. Thanks for the UM insight you share!
"we use to cruise and race on gratiot a lot, middlebelt... in westland"
Being from Dearborn, I can remember more than a few traffic jams in the early '80s on Telegraph on Sat nite. Was prob you and your buddies, gsimmons!
You know you are from Michigan (and grew up in the '70's), if:
almost every one you hung out with knew someone in the photo of the crowd at Cobo on the back of Kiss Alive II.
Those were the days: feathered hair, Cat scratch fever, beer can colections, jumping trash cans with banana seat bikes, ice hockey on the rouge river, halter tops, muscle cars on the 'graph.
When do you leave for your space pod? The asteroid hits the 29th, you better get packing.
.........and Rick 'the peach' Leach!
The Guts and Glue of the Maize and Blue.
You guys are old.
man, it's like watching an episode of "I Love the 70's in here. I am feeling like a 12 year old in here or something. Ha. I was born in '81. GO BLUE!
The Stonecutters are the Freemasons. They just couldn't use the real name for fear of murderous retaliation.
Not true. They separately reference the freemasons in the casino episode where Mr. Burns is acting like Howard Huges and the germs talk to him telling him freemasons run the country. If you will recall, Mr. Burns was a member of the stonecutters.
'81-Me too...
Yes, I remember the Smithers joke.
But obviously, Stonecutters are based on Masons. Therefore, it's entirely appropriate to make Stonecutter references when talking about Masons, imo.
Freemasons do not run the country...
Is anyone else concerned that one of RR's gripes with WVA was WVA's dragging its feet in approving advertisements on the wall surrounding Mountaineer Field. Apparently, RR felt that WVA was missing out on revenue for the athletic department by not doing this.
I am all for Michigan keeping up with modern times in terms of how we run our athletic department, but I can't help be fear that RR is going to take away some of the things that us older fans (any by older, I mean over 30) love about Michigan. I, for one, do not want to see advertisements surrounding the field at Michigan stadium. Similarly, while I want us to be competitive with teams like USC, tOSU and LSU, I am not so sure that I want us to do so by sacrificing our ideals and going for someone like Terelle Pryor. Not saying that I 100% do not want him (and, let's face it, we will likely not land him), but I like that Carr generally tried to factor character into his recruiting.
Before everyone starts flaming, I am not saying that I am unhappy with the RR hire - I think that he is probably one of the top 5-10 coaches in all of college football - but I just hope that he appreciates that Michigan is different than most other places.
Really? I was pretty the Simpsons was 100% factually accurate?
I'd hazard a guess that RRs biggest reasoning behind ads in the stadium is that WVU is poor. At Michigan, he just has to say "gimme" and someone will be quick to donate, negating the need for ads.
Good point, dex. I have a feeling that you are right because, in looking at the emails that were produced yesterday, it really is obvious that RR felt that he was being forced to try to compete on a national level with both hands tied behind his back by the administration, and even the governor.
Precisely. Michigans athletic budget is like $47M, while WVU is about $17. Rich was wanting WVU to be able to play with the Big Boys, and knew that money was the limiting factor.
Rich didn't want advertising just to be a jerk. He was trying to build the WVU program any way he could.
So, no, I'm not worried about advertising w/ Rich Rodriguez.
Yeah, I don't see ads being a concern at Michigan. Someone with big pockets will always step up to make sure that isn't necessary for the time being.
Perhaps the Masons, if needed.
No ads.
and no god-awful Godzilla-tron like they have here at UT-Austin. Damn thing is deafening for a half-mile outside of the stadium.
@gobluemich
RichRod was looking for ways to generate additional revenue through "alternate" sources. I took it to mean that WFV only had so much base revenue to build the football program with, and it wasn't going to be enough for RichRod to stay competitive.
I don't think it means that RichRod loves advertising on the wall. Chill.
ah, Dex has found another "freemason" and his oblique references to poke with a stick.
I worship at the feet of Maria Sharapova, like another commenter said in the other thread.
She is a total Goddess, and she's gonna hammer Ivanovic in the final. I like Ivanovic quite a bit too; but Sharapova... just worship her.
They are everywhere. My theory is they have a dedicated search team combing the Internet daily for references.

THE MICHIGAN MAN | 01.24.08 - 11:28 am | #
???????
Mountaineer field seats only 60,000 and prices are generally lower than at Michigan, as I recall.
We get twice the revenue as WVU just off stadium ticket sales.
Dex...it is obvious that you like to poke fun at things that you are ignorant of...that’s O.K...most people do.
I heard Rich Rod is coaching shirtless, with a Golden Palace tattoo on his back, next year.
More veiled Masonic threats...are you guys the reason my credit is so bad?
I heard Rich Rod is coaching shirtless, with a Golden Palace tattoo on his back, next year.
While wearing a sex mustache.
and a Bodog.com hat instead of a michigan one
I think my dad and our neighbor are freemasons, they took turns being the mayor of the little town I grew up in. And the masonic temple is right in the middle of town. (btw, are those even connected?)
Brian, put up the BJ Daniels video, at least it'll give us something else to talk about.
I did not say one threat...If I did..point it out and I will sincerely apologize
The Masonic Temple in Detroit was, once, somehow associated with the Freemasons. Now, not so much. But I saw a kick-ass White Stripes Concert there. So, good work, Masons!
That is the largest temple in the world. We still own it but it is being managed by a thrid party now.
the white stripes are freemasons? i mean, i knew they sucked, but sucked that much?
BGH...interesting...
The next Nick Cage movie will be about discovering the real owners of the Masonic Temple.
i have nothing against free masons, btw, except for their fiendish plot to kill jesus
the white stripes are freemasons?
I was wondering why they told us they were going to take over the world between sets.
have nothing against free masons, btw, except for their fiendish plot to kill jesus
Wait, the Freemasons are Jews?
THAT WAS A JOKE.
Anyone ever see "The Man Who Would Be King"?
also the fact that the white stripes are free masons might explain the undue secrecy about the whole briother/sister/man/wife thing
zomg chitown hates teh jews~~!!!
i think the free masons catch a lot of flak because of their non-belief of windows and otherwise ridiculous secrecy. i mean, its basically a bunch of dudes chillin' with other dudes. why do they have to be so secretive about it?
Oh Cold Pizza. I used to watch it in the initial days when they had a totally hot hostess. THEA ANDREWS... drool... After the espn dickheads let her go, i immediately stopped watching that crap.
also 32nd degree if i wake up dead one morning, my phantasm is coming after you.
@BGH
Exactly.
@bgh:
Freemasonry is the Scout/Rivals premium board prior to the internet.
espn just suspended chitown.
Was the Masonic Temple sold for money laundering purposes? Or is it liability issues, since it's the site of the monkey Civil War re-enactments?
We are not a secret society...we are a society with secrets..there is a difference...not just word play.
why do they have to be so secretive about it?
BECAUSE THEY ARE ALIENS FROM ATLANTIS IN LEAGUE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ENSLAVE ALL OF US HAVEN'T YOU SEEN THE X FILES
espn is a facist organization. i've had more than 15 names banned, all for ridiculous purposes. as you may or may not be able to tell, some of my comments balance on the fringes of social acceptability. but, in this life, there exists both truth and falsity. pat forde is falsity, unabashed. i feel it is up to people such as myself (unswayed by the forces that be) to act as truthsayers. the world wide leader can suck my balls.
Also, is it me, or is Michigan Man seemingly having a completely off-topic conversation with himself about scattered pieces of ass?
Big, powerful, scary secrets no doubt.
32nd degree, i just want to know what's on pg 43 from national treasure II.
........aaaand who killed jfk.
ya know, no biggie.
32nd degree:
thats some republican-esque employment of the hollow god known simply as "semantics"
This = worst conversation ever
New Jersey Guy - have you ever, at any point, contributed anything other than feebly bitching about what others are talking about?
BGH...plot to kill Jesus...explain please...
no, the boobs convo was worse....
All I know is that if I'm hanging out in big, dark windowless buildings with a bunch of guys and it's a secret meeting, well, there better either be some kick ass drugs, a potentially murdered stripper, or a dog fight.
Wait, I'll answer that:
No, you haven't.
BGH...plot to kill Jesus...explain please...
32nd degree | 01.24.08 - 11:53 am | #
Evidently there IS, however, a fiendish plot to eliminate sarcasm, and a sense of humor.
@DanK
What the hell was all that pg43 crap about? Just driving a sequel, or what? That movie made me want to pull my hair out.
count me in as a fan of free mason rhetoric.
"in the darkness of light, we prowl immune to the eye, burdened only by the one true secret that blinks only as the waves of despair throw them upon the shores of man's discotnent."
Dex...by your responses...I can tell that you are on the outside trying to look in...not in reg to Freemasonry...but life itself.
Hey 32nd Degree was The DaVinci Code historically accurate in its description of the freemasons?
also, i heard the free mason initiation ritual involves fingerpainting a portrait of mary madgelen
Masons remind me of some really nerdy kids with a tree house their dad built for them.
Ohhhhhh chitown ate his wheaties this morning. Watch out!
Ohhhhhh chitown ate his wheaties this morning. Watch out!

*slow clap*
Wow. Don't you have to go help the government finish up the details of that new stimulus plan and then get to work rigging the Super Tuesday elections or something?
The DaVinci Code ...that was a great book.
im not going to be able to get any work done today until brian makes a new post. argh.
Ohhhhhh chitown ate his unborn baby this morning. Watch out!
I'm not going to be able to get any work done because Freemasons are hacking my desktop.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasons
Jesus, even the Wikipedia article on Freemasons is complete fucking gibberish.
New Jersey guy is feeling left out because he is an Elk.
DaVinci Code wasn't about freemasons as much as illuminati. Angels and Demons gets more in depth about freemasons & American secret society.
Dex...when you become a man then we can talk.
Dont forget about the Bones!
I get the davinci code and angels and demons confused...they were basically the same book
"Be free-born (or "born free", i.e. not born a slave or bondsman)."
How enlightened.
several years ago, the freemasons got busted trying to hack the canadian ebays.
LMAO with Chitown
mgobleu, i thought other way around.
angels and demons about illuminati, da vinci code about that leonardo da vinci, holy grail, jesus had a kid shit.
lets be honest about down brown. he's about as good of a writer as RL Stein.
angels and demons was the one with the signs that were the same upside down and right side yes? thought that was some illuminati work.
yea man, i think they are setting up the sequel.....the worst part was that i forgot about that pg43 stuff till the credits were rolling and my wife's like...i wonder what was on pg43?
i wish i hadn't been reminded....b/c now it's a sliver in my mind slowly picking away at my sanity.
Thankfully, my manhood does not require validation from secret handshakes, compass symbols, overwrought fantasy rhetoric, or a need to pay dues to people in robes.
i thought angels and demons was when indiana jones was trapped in the temple of doom and that one crazy nazi drinks out of the wrong chalice and turns into a skeleton and that cute asian kid is yelling about shit??
about age...
im not really old...
i was born in 74...
but i very much was aware of things going on around me in the late 70's and really lived the 80's
i stumbled upon my manhood in a truck stop restroom.
still better than having to pay dues to a guy in robe.
wikipeia article being rubbish? you are kidding me...
Dex...You are a man first and a mason after...so your point does not work.
I can't believe 64 people are still reading this
"You are a man first and a mason after.
I'm getting that phrase tatt'ed on my nuts.
dex profile:
likes: jim tressel
dislikes: free masons, allegations of cheating
ha ha
BORN in '74? I started high school in '74. No wonder you have such shitty taste in music. And cars.
You forgot "flamewars on the internet" under likes and "doing my job" under dislikes.
Oh you have nuts now...didn't know that.
I don't think Masons can make nut jokes, wouldn't that upset your Supreme Being?
they had highschool in 74?
i thought it was called prep school then.... or the school house
I want making nut jokes...I just didnt know you had any..
How dare anyone speak poorly of RL Stein. He is the reason I know how to read.
And to MICHIGAN MAN,
Maria played rather poorly those last 3 of the last 4 games. I don't think it was because she was playing to Jankovic's level (injured) either. She wasn't getting good placement on her tosses up. She also seems to be getting worn down, which is natural when you make it to the finals. She was dragging around in the last service game for Jankovic. I'm somewhat impressed that Ivanovic won (if she did). She looked awful in the beginning of the first set, which is all I watched. If she came back to win, she must have done it in impressive fashion and is entering the finals on a hot streak. Maria, she had a very poor showing yesterday despite the score. Maria's experience in the finals is probably to her advantage. Hopefully she'll be serving like she did in the quarterfinals. She was nailing impossible to return serves right and left.
first you diss my car, then my music...
whats next you havent made fun of my wife and kids yet...
Generally, my high school was very "high". I did not partake, but probably half the school did.
Thought that one chick's grandfather was into the illuminati in DaVinci code. Plus I remember alot of talk in angels & demons about the freemasons & goofy crap they had put on U.S. currency & things like that. Hell, I could be wrong. I read 'em back to back years ago, then the movie confused me even more. Just remember about every one of Dan Brown's "FACT" statements were proved bullshit.
As far as the national treasure shlock-fest; even with my limited background in engineering, those movies slay me. I wanna see how it works to walk into a cave, spin a giant rock, and watch a 200ton granite door open 30 yards away.
I hope ESPN doesn't suspend me for saying this, but fuck masonry.
If you're gonna belong to some crazy-ass secret club, then you might as well go all out and be a Scientologist. At least they believe in the Galactic Warlord Xenu, who was so bad-ass he murdered hundreds of billions of people with nuclear volcanoes and shit. That's way more interesting than some dudes in robes spouting lame-o incantations.
the free masons dont have a supreme being, they have a giver of life. who, oddly enough, looks just like harrison ford. only with a sex mustache.
You have a point. How could I be a real man if I don't respect the society with secrets? All the big scary buildings and secrety secret secrets....
re: ND/BC/Jesus (yeah, a long time ago...)
"BC's got better Christians!"
(I assume you've all seen the "Real Men of Genius" that was made for ND fans? If not, you MUST YouTube it...
Im not asking you to respect anything...and do big buildings scare you?
I give Scientology points for being a.) Way crazier, and b.) Appearing to have some high influence in at least one area of American culture (hollywood), whereas Masons are a bunch of old guys getting tanked with each other and pretending to be on some high level shit.
merely because you've referenced it several times - what, exactly, is a sex mustache? I'm picturing Tom Selleck.
scientology is a disease. i mean, shit. i dont know what free masons actually believe, so i cant comment. but scientologists need to back the fuck off. god damn, that shit is crazy. plus tom cruise is such a pussy. in top gun, i wish he would have died instead of the goose.
Plus, they make Steven Guttenberg a star, and I really hated Three Men and a Little Lady.
!!!LOL!!!
(sorry, still catching up)
what i learned from this thread:
Freemasons == scientologists
harrison ford is a scientologist
sex mustashes are a lifestyle
i now know how Confused feels.
Oh, and 3-4 Robber, Mike Blitz, to satisfy Jersey Guy, maybe.
chitownblue: the sex mustache is sort of an enigma. or, more precisely, a "you'll know it when you see it" situation.
sex mustache is an impressionistic term. You have to understand it as it. To try to define it takes away its awesomeness.
Wow...I dont consider 33years of age old...Must be a sign that I'm getting old.
So it's OK to continue to picture Tom Selleck?
or is that clueless? IDK, i just love his posts
It's ALWAYS ok to picture Tom Selleck.
32nd,
its all relativeu
when you work around 16-18 year olds all day...
and see your once proud bench press nmbers no longer going up..
and stop being able to dunk...
then you feel old...
Scientology even has some hot MILFs like Kelly Preston. Who's masonry got? Huh?
What's the "not so good" recruiting news on Scout?
totally off topic (but this topic is ridiculous anyway) but my one of my work friends 9a female) just e-mailed me this chain e-mail which, apparently, profiles rapists. its so outlandish that i dotn have time to get into it in its entiriety, but this bullet point was especially ridiculous:
3. Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.
i mean, the early morning hours are when my biological urge to commit heinous acts is in overdrive, especially between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.
Masonry has people who surgically removed their sense of humor. I think it happens at the 17th degree.
gsimmons...from what you said....yeah...IM GETTING OLD!
When I was 28 or 29, I looked at myself and said, "Well, statistics say that I am now at my physical prime!"
It was very depressing.
welcome 32nd....
you can sit wherever you like...
Dave - there's a picture of one here:

Well..Dex...the more you know...the less happier you become. It like knowing how a magic trick is done.
wait, magic isnt real?
So the scout news... where's toledo man when I need his highlight ctrl-x ctrl-p skills
I'm digging Bro. Chris Hodapp on the left side, author of "Freemasons for Dummies."
heart.... is that correlated to the morning wood phenomenon?
LMAO I was thinking that same thing...
it was about 2 years ago, that i felt about as good as i ever have... my workout routine was going great...
i was down to about 220
was able to run with the varsity boys as a scout player (i was coaching the girls at the time)
down hill since then...and hard!
Dan K:
well, im more of grand larceny type of guy, so i cant really comment on the correlation between morning wood and men who go buck wild between 5 a.m. and 8;30 p.m.
So,
Perry visit complications. Dammit, toledo man, I need your skills.
so, on a football topic, how important is it that we get perry? it doesnt seem likely. he seems like a beast, but it was the city league which isnt exactly known for good o-linemen (but 36 saxxx or whatever, is a lot). how did he perform in the state tourney?
Sweet. Masonic web skillz are also lagging behind, stuck in 1995.
recruiting update:
martin not going to ND!!!
supposedly someone got a good read on TP and said michigan has a "very" good chance at this point
star jackson is out of the picture
faegin and daniels are interested
I think keeping Perry from MSU is the biggest concern. If he goes to USC or Miami, eh.
perry has an SAT/ACT test Sat AM....he is working around it and probably getting to campus on friday to make up for time lost. he'll just leave, take the test, and come back to A2 afterwards.
Perry complication is because he has to take the ACT saturday morning, but it looks like he will spend the day here friday, then go back home, then come back for the rest of sat and sun. that is good for us.
I wonder if it is because many rapists are meth/coke addicts, and 5-8:30 AM coincides with raging sex drive from use of stimulants all night.
no way Perry goes to MSU. I just dont see it happening. I though the other day, i heard that he said somethign along the lines that USC, Miami, and M were top three????
Yeah, I think that's the right top 3. But he used to be considering MSU I think. As long as that doesn't go down, we win.
This is ridiculous, everytime I refresh I'm being sent to 1215pm.
Tell the freemasons...
Haloscan must be destroyed.
More veiled Masonic threats...are you guys the reason my credit is so bad?
...and...
Thankfully, my manhood does not require validation from secret handshakes, compass symbols, overwrought fantasy rhetoric, or a need to pay dues to people in robes.
Quality work, dex.
And...massive props to you, BGH:
the free masons dont have a supreme being, they have a giver of life. who, oddly enough, looks just like harrison ford. only with a sex mustache.
big gay heart | 01.24.08 - 12:13 pm |
And I'm finally caught up.
@formerly
I'm genuinely impressed with your tennis knowledge. I enjoy playing in the summer but don't know the technical aspects especially well. It's pretty cool to hear x and o talk about it.
the refresh is bad today!
I'm going to burn haloscan to the ground. It's series of tubes is coming down.
And why wouldn't we want Perry? He's good. We don't have any other dominant D lineman this year. He doesn't have possible scandal baggage (yet). The kid is from Michigan in an area we've had less than stellar performance in (see: Gholston).
I will concede we have germany, bgraham, patterson, and that freshman kid, but other than bgraham, none have impressed me yet.
@dex,
I know what they tell me during the women's major opens when I can watch the eye candy. That is all. mmm... eye candy.
BGH, that email is superb!
That's definitely the first thing that I thought...when I drag my ass out of bed at 6:30 AM, the first thing I do is go outside and look around for the first lonely female I can find. What she's doing outside at 6:30 AM is beyond me...but that's her own fault, I guess. She was asking for it.
(Big joke, of course)
I'd like to get Perry, certainly.
"Quality over quantity" baby!
http://simononsports.blogspot.co...osu-in-

sorry if this has already been posted, work/real life has intruded recently...
germany DNE anymore. perry is a big get b/c most of our Dline talent is in their 3-4th year.
Henne...saw this earlier today from another forum...
A woman wants to abort a rape child? She should have thought of that before she walked down that dark alley without a male prescence, not to mention she should have thought before putting on revealing attire.
[Yes. It should (be legal). Otherwise you're screwing over the women who don't deserve their fate.]
Are you calling them victims now? Should've stayed in the house where it's safe.
I think HenneManCrush has been posting on fundamental religious blogs as well.
I hate the quality over quantity myth generally. As a teacher of fraternity recruitment, its probably the biggest excuse in the world for sucking.
In this case though, I may disagree. I do feel we need at least mediocre depth at some positions. The difference between one 5 star QB and a 4+2 pair is tough.
What the hell is a fraternity recruitment teacher?
Hey, thought I'd add this since it looks like no one's mentioned it. Apparently Henne (cue hatefest re: comments on Mallett) has looked pretty darn good in the Senior Bowl practices and is improving his draft stock significantly (I've heard that, of everyone, he's probably improved his draft stock more than anyone). Scout reports have him practicing much better than Booty and Woodson and slightly better than Flacco, but have been impressed with his deep ball and velocity.
Just thought I'd throw that up there.
http://
www.draftboardinsider.com...seniorbowl.html
Also, dex...that asteroid crap was some crazy stuff!
Based on their HS careers, I would consider Martin and Perry to be roughly the equivalent of Taylor and Graham. Getting them both in the same class would be excellent.
I think HenneManCrush has been posting on fundamental religious blogs as well.
Hmm...I was hoping the rest of you didn't frequent those fundumental religous boards...
My cover is blown. I sport the sex mustache...and not the good one.
Thanks, dex.
Speaking of fundamental religious things, my new favorite hobby when making my drives across the country, listening to fundamental religious radio shows. Case in point:
"You know how I know we're winning the war against abortion? You see people out marching, women and husbands marching because they feel regret for having killed their children. These people have found the light of God and regret the awful sins they have committed. God has offered them redemption. Beyond that, how often do you see people out marching after having kids regretting the fact they did not kill their children? How often do you see people who killed their children marching through the streets celebrating? We're winning."
No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims.
Lest I be accused of dirty hateful things, I'd glady post some of the most bat shit retarded atheist comments if I happened to have a link to that list.
Michigan not pursuing Jonas Gray, Fred Smith or Charles Burrell
And Henne, that asteroid is going to obliterate us all. Being your debauchery now. I've taken to drinking vodka in my water bottle and masturbating under my desk.
@formerly: Wow.
I am most certainly a Christian and have done lots of work with youth ministry. I am pretty darn conservative on most issues, and I must admit that I was waiting to hear something offensive towards Christians in that post. Instead...I don't even know what to say about that.
That was just some off-the-wall stuff. Definitely laughable. And weird.
@Brabbs,
The current fraternity recruitment worked well in the 70s and 80s. Now-a-days it needs an overhaul. They plan of big events to get people over and get them drunk doesn't entice the quality members we want. So most fraternities are moving to a several small events to build friendships prior to formal rush. It's a fairly basic concept. Get to know them, they'll want to join. As a fraternity field rep (travel from school to school making sure they run themselves properly for the business side of the fraternity), I have to put on rush workshops to try and get undergrads to soak these ideas in.
Lest I be accused of dirty hateful things, I'd glady post some of the most bat shit retarded atheist comments if I happened to have a link to that list.
Fire away, sir!
And re: your debauchery...I seriously spit my drink out when I read that. Good stuff, man. Hope you don't share a desk with anyone on a night shift...
