The threads on the UM boards (Scout, MGoBlog, etc.) regarding Dorsey are really entertaining to read.
You have 4 different factions on these boards:
The "Admissions Dept IS THE DEBIL!!!!!!" crowd. Not to be confused with the "Leave RR Alone!!!" crowd (defined later). These are the posters who essential say the same thing in every single one of their posts: "There are definitely people in the Admin area trying to sabotage RR. Demar cleared the NCAA, WE SHOULD LET HIM IN!. Now, there is a caveat to why these posters are different than the "Leave RR Alone" crowd, and that is that these posters mostly are for the team, and not just RR. They are mainly PO'd that Dorsey apparently worked hard and cleared the NCAA, and now UM admissions is waffling on actually admitting him. The biggest problem with this crowd is that they seem to look past the fact the kid was allegedly involved in 3 B&Es and one with a deadly weapon. They seem to forget another recruit that had a checkered past that was admitted who nearly had a dorm burned down because of his illegal activities on campus.
The "Old Guard: UM has a higher standard" crowd. These are the posters who go after the above crowd non-stop saying that if UM stoops to the level of, say, WVU of admitting anyone just because they can play a game diminishes the quality of the school as a whole on a national perspective. Basically, these are the posters who want to see UM back in the thick of things, but not getting there by lowering the standards of what has been traditional Michigan Football. (Also, these are the posters who have grown weary of the undue attention that UM has received since RR stepped on campus.) Most of these guys are called "Haters" because they are somewhat negative toward the state of the program today.
The "Leave RR Alone!!!" crowd. These are the posters who literally slurp any sweat that happens to fall from Richy's balls and love the salty taste. RR has never, EVER done ANYTHING wrong, and in fact he personally checked out every single detail of Dema'rs life from the time he was born until yesterday at around 4:30ish and he already had the blessing of the entire university (i think even dim-witted parking attendant had to be asked) before RR even considered picking up the phone to recruit Dorsey. This situation is all because of the Freep and the Haters! Haters! Haters! Haters! (you know, those who don't want to hold the rope or want to be all in.)
The "Fans of Other Teams" crowd. These are mainly OSU and MSU posters, and surprisingly there are very few inflammatory posts from these posters. Mostly, they are siding with with the Old Guard above, and actually expressing a bit of sympathy toward UM and what they are going through. (there are a few who were blatantly assholes, but you will get that on any message board.)
Fun Stuff!!
