[SportsVol]

maybe you should apply for a moderator position. epper:

That's hilarious. Are they on vacation?

 

[smokey0625]

Try putting it up a thread if and when it happens. Not before. Nobody wants anything to do with your negativity.:nono:

Go back to Kentucky.

 

[jlindsa4]

In before 'we hate OP' quickly switching to 'OP was right'

 

[densojb3]

Go back to Kentucky.

Sorry lived Maryville my whole life. Born in crappy old Blount Memorial. So Kentucky nope sorry:nono:

 

[Tallman]

No meltdown here. Know Green is long shot anyway.

If he chooses TN, that will be nice, but I will save getting excited for when he signs on the dotted line.

Whoever he picks today, is where he signs. He has made that very clear.

Thread is about to go over 1 million views. Crazy.

 

[Donvolson]

did he choose michigan already?

Hell they promoted Penn St all season.... How many national televised games did they have this season... Every single weekend they had an ESPN game at 11 CST......so it seemed to me anyway.... ESPN became the biggest Penn St propaganda machine.... I guess they didn't see pedophilia and its subsequent coverup by the University in the same light as the rest of the civilized world...

On the flip side ESPN bashed tOSU..... IMO

ESPN not only promotes pedophilia, but they also promote abortions and prostitution in Miami.

Go Hurricons!

Unfortunately I'm thinking Michigan, and here's why:

- Think the 'shock the word' comment was a play on Juwan Howard comment from his fab 5 days at Michigan.

- Michigan has been leading for awhile now, and photos like the one at the Army American game tells me is bonding with his soon to be new teammates.

- Freudian slips referencing Michigan as his team, coaches, teammates etc. in interviews.

- His Mom being willing to move wherever he goes to college. So distance is no longer a factor.

- Also at the Army American game he seemed to have his mind made up. While he may have weighed his options further, in the end I think he goes back to that choice.




I don't see this as a smokescreen. Just an excited 18 year old kid ready to make his choice and tipping his hand from time to time. Hopefully we can land Ford and not completely whiff on RBs this recruiting cycle or burn a scholly on a lesser talented player to fill a position.

well said. people here are just setting themselves up for disapointment.

Maybe. Green would have been about 2-3 years old when Howard was leaving Michigan though. May not have even been born when Howard claimed to be going to shock the world.

He really could not bond with possible UT teammates at the AA game. Seeing as there were none there.

The fact he did not announce at the AA game under all that pressure from all the UM guys there tends to make me think just the opposite. It would have made for a prime to to announce if he were all Michigan IMO.

Honestly, I have no idea. Something looks off to me with the lack of UT related stuff anywhere close to him. It's almost like it was on purpose. We'll see what happens.

I agree that he's gonna go to Michigan, but asinine doesn't even begin to explain that comment...

You're right Green is so witty he's referencing comments from 20 years ago made by an NBA journeyman in order to appear clever, and provide clues to the Michigan faithful.

I'm also hearing he's wearing maize shoelaces, today, because he doesn't want to totally give away the secret, but still wants to drop subtle hints.

 

[MAJOR_ORANGE]

Even though Green really likes CJG I don't think CBJ has had enough time to compete with Hoke on their relationship. I truly hope he picks UT but I'm not feeling good about it. JMO

 

[865dude]

My guess is 70% UM, 30% us.

 

[true blue in tn]

i know i'm gunna show my age here but the SHOCK THE WORLD comment started when Ali beat Liston way back when.

 

[Neyland2nd2none]

Nb4 Didn't want him anyway

 

[LaserRocketArm]

If you're a real competitor, come play with the big boys in the SEC and earn your dime. If you want to continue pushing around high school kids, go play for Fred Flintstone in the big 10.

 

[k-town_king]

I would love to land Green. He is a beast.

 

[mreed90]

It's going to nasty on here when he picks Mich. When those posters that only post when bad things happen come out with their, "Butch can't get nothing but 3 starrrs" or "Gruden would have got all teh 5 star guys."
