The number one overall recruit, defensive lineman Rashan Gary. Gary was the consensus number one overall recruit, fellow D-Lineman Jadeveon Clowney and Robert Nkemdiche were the only other consensus number one overall recruits since 2000. Thoughts?
But it sucks watching Michigan walk into NJ and take the top recruits virtually uncontested from Rutgers. I'm hoping chris ash can change this a little, but my god having Flood seems to have hurt RU so badly.
Robert Nkemdiche. Just read that scouts think he can run in the 4.5's at 300 pounds, that is insane. But Michigan will be competing for a BCS title as soon as next season thanks to Harbaugh.

It's way before Flood. Before Michigan there was Penn State in NJ. Even Iowa has had a run getting some good kids in the 80s-90s. Schiano had a small run of getting NJ kids, and even he was not getting 5-stars.
will have a hard time being #1 in their conference so long as Urban Meyer is coaching OSU. They've also been #2 in their own state for a while with MSU being the superior program. Wake me up when they show it on the field.
RE: as we all know, Kyle, the sun even shines on a dog's ass some days
The Midwest is a shitty hellhole of snow and meth addicts. Their fans are supremely arrogant despite their conference being a joke for most of the past two decades. They have some of the most repulsive coaches in NCAA history in Urb and Harbaugh.
And you want the cherry? Ohio State's supposedly awesome title team LOST AT HOME TO VIRGINIA FUCKING TECH. Lost. To. Tek. At. Home. How the fuck is such a team even allowed in the playoff? How do they not have a gigantic asterisk attached to them for vomiting up the worst loss a national championship team has ever had?

If you're comparing to the SEC it's a lot more than those two.
Harbaugh must have had a sleepover at Gary's house....
and are almost as annoying as Notre Dame fans. My school didn't have football and I've always rooted for SU due to geography and Clemson because my cousin sat the bench there about 30 years ago.

It is obvious given the type of season Michigan had in Harbaugh's
first year plus the terrific recruiting class that's coming to Ann Arbor that Michigan is definitely relevant.
It is also obvious that Jon C despises Harbaugh and anything Michigan. Although he is a devoted and usually reliable source on BBI - - - his opinions regarding Michigan are definitely what is irrelevant.

Been a Michigan fan since Ali-Hagi and Jumbo Elliot.
Hey Greg, what did you want them to do, turn down.....
There was more Michigan talk in the down years than this year. College football threads werent very active this season. Dont know where all the frontrunners that are being brought up are.
I had family members that went to michigan in the 70's and my best friend was on lloyd carrs staff on the training staff. Good friends with lamarr woodley. Been a fan since a kid watching michigan on abc every saturday when that was all I could watch with no cable. Do I pass the test or should i be a st johns football fan since i went there?

they can not officially announce his signing until he signs his letter. He will not officially sign the letter until he goes back to Paramus Catholic to sign the letter with his teammates.

But when they randomly choose a school 1000 miles from their home that they have no connection to at all? Yeah, that'll get you called out occasionally.

the point was made that it unusual to root for a team you have no ties to as an alum, I don't have a single tie to Syracuse
Just because you're doing it doesn't make it unusual.
And to further the point, you decided to root for Syracuse because they had all the best players. That's exactly the problem, and why some people can't stand the Michigan/ND/Alabama/etc. etc. Bandwagoners.

I've been on this board for a while and I've been a Michigan fan since going to grad school there (graduated in 1998), I was at the 1998 Rose Bowl.
I get that some people hate Michigan. But the Michigan fans who post here are hardly fair weather fans.
Our recruiting class kicks serious ass. Can't wait for the MSU and OSU games next year.

Rutgers sucks, but they only need to get 1 or 2 of those guys a year to be more competitive. And as it is now, they're basically like a c-, not Indiana or anything. Flood wad a joke and they totally botched their first couple years in the b1g by keeping him, but I'm pretty optimistic for the future all things considered.
They've had bad breaks, bad coaches, and bad luck, and we have seen schools with less potential become solid year on year teams. If they can fight to be ranked throughout most of the year in most seasons, and have one magic season every ten years with a show at winning the big ten, I'll take it. Might take a decade to get to that point, but whatever.
To go from 40+ to top 5 (maybe 1) in ONE year is f'king amazing..
Sorry this is a joke right?

I guess your nap is over then because they are relevant. This might put them as the top college recruiting class.
Wake up. The alarm has sounded since last year. Michigan is relevant again.
ZZZZZZZZ

It's way before Flood. Before Michigan there was Penn State in NJ. Even Iowa has had a run getting some good kids in the 80s-90s. Schiano had a small run of getting NJ kids, and even he was not getting 5-stars.

They were a failed punt operation away from beating MSU. Seems sorta relevant.

Says something when Wisconsin's worst year was the best year Michigan's had in the past decade.

Relevancy restored. So far in Harbaugh's tenure, Michigan has been more relevant than Wisky.

And you can't really fault them when Rutgers thought they had hired him until Harbaugh swooped in out of nowhere.

It's really strange.
I could use a wiki on it, feel like I'm out of the loop.

It's more fair to say the rest of the Big 10 has been inside Rutgers. Violently.
Allegedly.
Rutgers was right - the Big 10 (repugnant as it is) definitely is a big draw for NJ high school talent. Just not in the way they had hoped.
At spiking the ball on 4th down.

You probably should. Bonafides should be required when discussing where teenagers decide to attend college.
Gary is SIGNED, SEALED, AND DELIVERED!
So people that didn't attend Division 1 schools or didn't have a close relative attend one aren't allowed to support a college football team?
So what is the mileage limit?
For me, CFB is different than the NFL where I root for the Giants and only the Giants.
