It hasn't been deleted, just moved to a private area. To be fair, nearly all the Michigan fans there ripped the thread starter pretty good...

I just thought it was a lame pun, which i am not above. I'm sure the same type thread would be started on bucknuts. I tried to view and got some wierd page so i assumed it was blocked. Any how, Screw blue!

The Beav putting transfer possibilities for Threet at 50-50. :lol:

Seriously... how could the kid... and frankly a few kids in that program, not be thinking like that. From this side of Lake tsun (I'm in Chicago), it looks to me like dickrod treated those kids like pieces of meat. The way his system is designed, it's going to get some kids hurt... and that just sucks for these kids to be used like that. I love a big hit as much as anyone, but when a 280 lb linebacker comes at a QB (read: kid) untouched, there is going to be bad things happening. Dickrod needs to do something about that oline before he is charged with depraved indiference.


I hate the fucking dog track and horse racing for the same God damn reason. It's just wrong. At least with a kid going to play ball for dickrod they, and the kids folks, know what they are getting into. It's not like the dogs who have no choice in the matter. Either way... Fuck dickrod, fuck his system and fuck tsun.

I'm not giving a damn for the whole state of tsun cuz I'm from OHIO!

:osu:

I guess you gotta part with the big cash to find out which way the .1 shifts when getting info from the Beaver. You know what they say about guys that are always straddling the fence? I bet the Beav buys alot of Preparation H.

I hope they offer Raper a scholarship. It would be a total waste...I saw some guy comparing him to Percy Harvin on there. :tongue2:

The kid's best offer is from Toledo and he equals Percy Harvin. LOL.

On his video, he shows no wiggle, no explosion, nothing. First guy takes him down every time.

RR is recruiting like he is at West Virgininia still.

He was once a Clemson commit. What happened there?

They saw him play. He was offered a scholarship after a combine and they saw his forty. Then they watched him in a game and withdrew it. That is the story going around from Clemson fans, not sure if it is true but it seems reasonable considering his other offers.

Sorry my inner grammar Nazi took over.

Best single line I have seen to summarize everything so far.

Ha. I thought about editing it, but it made me laugh when I read over it so I kept it up.

They're enamored by his supposed 4.24. forty time. Of course Morgan :slappy: Trent and his 4.13 forty has been vanquished from their memory.

The Return of a Ghost from Michigan Football's Past | Bleacher Report
The Return of a Ghost from Michigan Football's Past

charles_2_feature.jpg


In over 120 years of existence, the University of Michigan football program has seen its fair share of legends pass through.

Players of the likes of Howard, Harmon, and Carter, amongst others.

But then there is one that stands out. A special talent from Ohio that proudly wore the Maize 'n Blue of Michigan. One that wore the No. 2 jersey in route to a Heisman and a national championship.

His name was Charles Woodson, who in 1997, permanently placed his name in Michigan's history books.

Woodson became the first and only defensive player to ever win the Heisman, and he was 3-0 against the Buckeyes as well.

It is these reasons why Woodson is arguably one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in Michigan and NCAA football history.

Woodson is one of the most decorated cornerbacks to ever play the game.

Punt and kick returns, huge receptions at wide receiver, or game changing interceptions that could make your jaw drop. Whatever it was, Woodson could do it.
However, those years have come and gone, and are nothing but the past now.

Or are they?

Now let's skip the clock forward 12 years to 2009...

...

Standing at 6'2" and 185 pounds is a special talent not seen by the likes of those at Massillon before. The school that recently produced 2008 New England Patriots draft pick and former Michigan Wolverine linebacker Shawn Crable.

The talented corner known for his playmaking ability, dazzling interceptions, and big time returns on special teams has drawn him a promising comparison. Which of course is to fellow Ohio native and former Wolverine, Charles Woodson.

He is a three-way threat—but more importantly, a lock-down cornerback.

Which in turn is the reason why he quickly rose up to be the No. 1 prospect in the state of Ohio in 2009 (according to rivals and scout.com).

But coming from Ohio, one would expect such a highly recruited kid to become a Buckeye, right?

In the U.S. Army All-American's case, he did the unthinkable...

He committed to MICHIGAN!

Just like another certain someone, all those years ago.

But the All-American from Massillon's connections to the Wolverine great don't end there. There is more.

"I was just a big Michigan fan all my life, Watching Charles Woodson play, I just always wanted to go there," said the future Wolverine.

He also had a request for Rich Rodriguez, in regards to his future number—which will be No. 2.

"Coach Rod said that's my number right now," he says. "I asked him and everything, on my official visit."

He was seven when Woodson made his historical run to the Heisman, but the memories of the punt return against Ohio State and the phenomenal one-handed interception versus Michigan State still run through his memories as if it just happened yesterday.
Everything is there. Athleticism, passion, desire, love for Michigan. Everything! It is all there.

While it is unfair to compare a kid who hasn't played a down to a legend, you have to think there is still good reason. That and it's never bad to be placed in such good company so early on.

This kid is the real deal make no mistakes about that. He is the play maker Michigan has been missing. He is the missing link.
