Yes we did have a chance. Matter of fact Mario would have been a buckeye if it wasnt for Maurice Clarett stealing Prescott Burgess's girlfriend then Precottt would have been a buckeye and so would of Mario. Prescott and Mario are very good friends and both were bigtime buckeye fans. Then Maurice Clarett messed it up. Maurice and Prescott were very good friends until this happened and it looked like we were getting a package deal. Clarett is the reason Prescott and Mario arent here.

If a kid is going to choose another school solely based on who "stole" who's girlfriend, then I'm glad he did so and didn't pick us. And you'll excuse if I don't believe your story anyway. Besides, Clarett was already gone from OSU when MM committed to scUM.

I've heard a similiar story Warren_Raider. While that's not the only reason why they chose scUM, it did play a little bit of a role.

They can keep Burgess. He wouldn't sniff the field here. Manningham on the other hand......

What I am trying to say is when Prescott Burgess went to Michigan he started trying to get Mario to come there then thats when Mario started rooting for Michigan because Prescott was up there and so was Carl Diggs then his DB coach is a former micigan player and his basketball coach is a UM fan and the coaches brother played at Michigan. Warren is not pro michigan and Buckeye fans outnumber them. When they announce the mIchigan score at the games and there losing the crowd cheers. We have sent more players to Ohio State and than Michigan. We have sent 5 to Michigan and probably about 8 to Ohio State.

Hes had two big plays for Michigan. The play against ND was a blown coverage it wasn't like he outran or outjumped someone. The other was vs Wisconsin when Henne threw a duck that should have been intercepted.

IMO Mannaingham getting PT means guys like Dutch aren't panning out. Personally I hope Michigan recruits another 6 OL and 4-5 more WR's this year. Brandon Graham is the only defensive recruit they have thats worth a damn. Moeller is better than Mixon and has proven it on the field.

As long as those bastards don't come into Ohio and take defensive studs like Coleman, Rose, Small, and Gibson I could give a s--- about the Manninghams and the Borens. All I heard last year was Mesko this and Mesko that...The kid isn't even starting.

They lose 4 of their starting OL, Both TE's, Starting FB, and Avant on offense.

On defense they lose Woods, Watson, Biggs, McClintock, Harris, Mason, and Barringer. Hall and Woodley have the chance to go early as well.

These guys are gonna suck worse next year because guys like Burgess and Crable are not developing.

Is anybody impressed with their back-up runningbacks??? I'm not and the people saying Grady is better than Hart are "morons"...he fumbles too much and isn't half as explosive.

Not an expert on Michigan, but they lose three OL, one TE, Avant, Woods who I'm not sure plays, Watson, McClintock who doesn't play much, Mason, and that's about it. The rest of the guys you mentioned are RS juniors. (except Hall and Woodley who are true juniors)

Uh, we can't get every kid in Ohio. He was a Michigan fan in a fairly pro-Michigan town (Warren). Why don't you complain about Desmond Howard or Charles Woodson while you're at it? :roll1:

Outside of the 2 touchdowns he has come up with a couple of big plays. The talent is there

He also had his way with Jemario O'neal in an All-Star game this summer.

They probably won't have a better season than us but what is the matter with having some more receivers in the mix.
Holmes will probably leave next year, and right now we can't bank on Ginn Jr. as a receiver.

Edit: Let's calm down a little.

Warren has had a strong Michigan alumni influence since at least the '70s. As far as more Warren players going to Ohio State than to Michigan, we have one walk-on from Warren on our roster (no-PT walk-on Madrikis), while Michigan has Burgess and Manningham (both scholarship starters).
