Never been to Ann Arbor but it being a better city than Knoxville seems like a stretch. I’m pretty sure Knoxville is a top 20 city to live in the entire country.

And Top 50 for sure.

Ann Arbor isn't top 100 in any poll!

According to US News and World Report Ann Arbor is 14 and Knoxville is 21. I’d still take a southern state over the frozen tundra that is Michigan

Upper Michigan is absolutely amazing……










For 3 months out of the year. :)

It wasn’t the UP but I was in a Michigan town the other day that sits on Lake Erie, and it struck me that to live there would be living in two wildly different places. In the summer it’s a beach town, and in the winter it must be a frozen hellscape.

Having lived in the Mitten State for 8 years, I’ve never seen people so proud of a dump and so quick to talk trash about other states, especially Southern ones, than people from Michigan. It’s actually kind of funny. They just love to pretend like it’s still the 1970’s and Michigan is one of the best states. In reality, it is in the bottom 15 in pretty much every category, from education (37th) to population growth (47th over the last decade and behind Alaska lmfao!) to gdp per capita (37th). A state that sucks and is going nowhere.

In all sincerity I do believe, from my own research that far Northern MI is very beautiful. Much like MN. But, the rest of the State has much to be desired.

Nah. Michigan gets a bad rap because of Detroit. Most of Michigan is beautiful. Especially Western and northern Michigan. Now the winter sucks if you don’t like snow for sure. But summer months are beautiful. Great hunting, fishing, boating, etc. For people that haven’t been they think of Detroit, car factories, run down neighborhoods, crime, etc. It’s not like that in those other areas. Either way Knoxville > Ann Arbor.

In my research, id read there was a boat trail in N MI, along the Canadien border. Island hopping. Beautiful scenery.

Also, one of the few States with Steelhead.

Although i'm not 100% of the types of Salmon in MI, id assume - naively Atlantic, King, and likely Coho. But they're there. And on a fly rod, itd be like reeling a 25 lb chunk of beef in that runs and jumps. Strong fish.Trying to turn a fish that's in current, but all shoulders is brutal.

Michigan sucks. Education is not superior that is nonsense. Perception of education at Michigan is better up north as they see all things southern negatively. Yankees and Canadians(Michigan) suck in general.

This an absurd post.

Why do I feel like you’ve got a rebel flag bumper sticker.

I don’t do anything. It’s pretty obvious we are fading. Sure, we could make a surge. The more likely scenario is that we couldn’t survive the post-visit hype. I don’t have a “plan.” I’m not setting myself up for disappointment. Quite the opposite actually. In no way am I “loud” about it. It’s stating the obvious.

The obvious thing is that you have absolutely no resolve. The mere mention that another team could be in consideration has you ready to concede. I think that’s just weak minded and fickle. You did have a “plan”. You expect him to commit already, he didn’t, then you throw the towel in. By all indications it’s a TN/Michigan race with Aggie trying to get their foot in the door. This is what you deal with when you recruit top players. If he picks Mich, so what, other targets arise during the season. I don’t even think Arion Carter was on the board prior to last season and he ended up being one of the most important signees of last class.

Those Butch classes really softened you up. Other than the top fourth of those classes, not many major schools were prioritizing those players, which is why many of them were so quick to jump in.

I didn’t expect him to do anything. At all. IF he was going to commit, it is most likely when he have momentum out of a visit. He didn’t. That’s it. Why does everyone feel like they have to read into things more than they are? You know nothing about me or my mindset. It’s recruiting. Kids are fickle. It’s just part of it.

And in regards to Arion Carter, kids blow up all the time once their film is out. That’s how it works. You’re proving my point- we had momentum with Carter and he committed.

It seems it’s fading with Bennett. He can obviously still commit to us, but as I said- the longer it goes the worse it is for us. Michigan seems to be gaining momentum back and he is close to a commitment. @KingNico basically said the same thing but a few want to jump on me and think I’m weak minded. Jump on him too.

Maybe you should accept that someone doesn’t have your opinion on everything and let it be.
