2013 TSUN Football News

Honestly, if a kid chooses a school based on what some idiots are saying on the Internet, he needs to get his priorities straight.
Absolutely. It's just comical watching how much time and effort the staff on GBW has spent blaming trolls (and labeling them as mostly pretend Wolverines and not the overwhelming majority of fans that are unhappy with incredible underachievement) to shift the blame from the staff.

Beaver & Webb have spent the last 2 months blaming the fans & message boards for the recruiting fallout. The last month or so they have been selling their sheep on the notion that many of the negative posters and tweeters are actually rival fans in disguise (aka "trolls"). Case in point, today's blog from Mr. Webb:

I can understand their frustration. I have seen instance of opposing fans posting links to video of UM games and to their schedule and results from the past two seasons. That's a bit below the belt.

Yes, but other fanbases have intelligent enough idiots to pose as Michigan fans as well. It's certainly a combination of both, but my guess would be the worst of them are from our rival fans.

Think about it. How is one way that an average fan can impact recruitment? By being a complete dick and posing as fan of another team. If anyone thinks this theory is tin hat, I have a bunch of bad news about the dedication to idiocy of college football fans...

On a completely unrelated note, anybody seen Ord lately?

While you're at it, figure out how much of a suck factor it would have been to have Bauserman run the Buckeye offense for a year instead of TP.

A quick sidenote:

TomBeaver has always been a pessimist but he has become quite the realist and straight shooter under the Hoke regime. After some serious homerism (intended to protect Michigan I think), he has been very blunt about Michigan's flaws and the Gulf between their program and title contenders like osu, especially in recruiting battles. He has also been rather blunt about Hoke sind e before the season began. There are a few moments like the twitter troll stuff but mostly he is the straight shooter while Sam Webb remains the unwavering optimist and Homer that does not accurately report the bad situations if there is even a 1% chance of it turning around. Like when he was telling people how good of a shot Michigan had at Pryor when batch was openly expressing on Pryor's visit that he would not be a Wolverine.
