My parents have lied to me my whole life?
My dad just sprung this on me three weeks ago. He said he was married once before my mom. He met a woman in Germany while he was over there in the... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
He never lied to you. He never said: " Hey pumpkin I just want to let you know I LOVE you so much and I don't have a second family in Germany".
You feel like sh*t but you are making the same decision to not tell your little sister, and it is the right decision, but she will find out in 5 years and say "You're my sister why didn't you tell me?"
Your dad is not going to them. He is still your Dad and he will not make you get to know them. Just clearly say: " Dad, I'm not happy about this. I do not want to know any more about your other family and I want nothing to do with them. You should make this clear to them because if they try to contact me or if you mention them to me again I'm going to scratch your eyes out"
NB: replace " scratch your eyes out" with whatever it is girls say to people to show they are angry about something. The first thing that came to mind was Sex on birthdays only, but that is a pretty gross thing to say in this situation.
Ok that was a nasty joke but you forgot about this mess for a bit didn't you.
What Guys Said 2
sometimes people think they're doing the right thing when they lie. tho I'm completely against lying, I can't blame your parents too much for hiding it. these kind of things can cause deep insecurities in young children, they must have been trying to protect you.
and think about this, do you think they just went, "eh, I'd rather not tell her"? cause things like that, people don't just decide like that. they must have had tons of conversations about it, talked about it for hours. they must have really put some thought into this decision. so I think they were probably thinking they were doing what was best for you.
and you can't be too mad at someone who's really trying to look out for you, can you?
What Girls Said 3
There's a huge difference between lying and not telling you something. Did you ever think that maybe he wanted to tell you but your mother forbade him to? The fact he was excited about showing you pictures of your siblings and wanted you to meet them suggests to me he's been wanting to tell you about them for awhile.
There's always two different sides to every story. Maybe you should talk about this to your mother and find out what she has to say about it?
I can understand you're feeling hurt but at the end of the day you've only got one father and unless he abused you physically or emotionally or wasn't apart of your life, I'd say cut him some slack. He's told you everything now and all you can do is move forward.
I think another important thing to do is tell your sister, because when she ends up finding out you, your mother and father all knew about it and didn't tell her, she's going to bell feeling just like you do right now.
I hope this helps.
Have an opinion?

I wanted to ask if you knew how we could zero out all of the past images' credit fields. Right now they default to whoever uploaded the image (or so it seems) but I'd really like it to be empty/blank until I manually go in and select the author.
This is necessary because I'm using the plugin to display all images for each author. So when you go to the author page I am calling display_author_media($curauth->ID) to list the images which the user is credited for. Currently, though, this shows nearly all the old images under the admins' pages. I would like those credits to be blank, so I can manually assign old images if I'd like, but not have to have them all show up all the pages of those who originally add them (who are generally not the actual authors of the photos).
I hope that makes sense. Thank you for your time and help!

Rated 2.8 out of 5Â by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CJay Love... but... As soon as I saw these on sale I bought them. I think they are amazing and I've received many compliments on them. The only warning I would give is that the first time I wore them, my feet were RAVAGED by the cages. They really dug into my feet, especially my pinkie toe. By the end of the night I was in crazy pain and the following day it looked like someone had taken a chainsaw to my feet. Pretty gruesome. It was probably not a good idea to wear them for hours immediately after getting them. I would suggest breaking them in for a while before taking them out for a long day or night. 8.1.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by samanthaalyson7 So disappointing I had these shoes bookmarked on my computer for a couple months before finally buying them. I have 7 pairs of Jeffrey Campbells and I was super excited for these to arrive, only to be really disappointed. The leather is not the 'tan wash' as described, it was a little darker and not the shade I had been looking forward to. The entire shoe itself was just not as nice as my other pairs of JCs and came off a little cheap. I'll be returning these, sadly. So disappointing! 5.7.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sdr206 Awesome Sexy shoes. But more important, very comfortable, and I'm not a heels girl! Got the tan because I have a lot of light colored FP clothing. I'm a size 7.5 but the 8 is absolutely perfect. Thrilled at their versatility too. 4.28.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by mollyfs poorly made it's a shame that these are so poorly made because they're very cute. while the sole fits true to size, the straps are way too loose and stand out from the foot. also the sole is made of a cheap layer of rubber and the back is angled forward so it digs into the ankle. 4.14.2014

Hey Sue! Yes we have a lot going on and it's all good!
We worked like mad all weekend prepping for our 2nd biggest race of our season, the Stump Jumpers Desert 100 in Odessa, Washington. Luke made a lot of progress on the radical 500/550/650 4 cylinder that he will be riding at the MK1 and debuting at the D100, I spent the weekend working on the team support rig, our 86 mini winnie. Full report on that tomorrow.
Jan and I will definitely be at the MK1 next year, too many college and wedding bills for our daughters this year!
Looking forward to seeing all of you and having a great time, we will be there with you in spirit this year for sure!

Playbook syncing with BB Handsfree VM605
Have the VM605 handsfree and handsdown the best connection and sound for a FM modulator - Love it!
I am unfortunately unable to pair my playbook with it so I can listen to music through my stereo!!!!
I can enter pass codes and am able to listen to music thru the built in speaker but I never get the beep and "Connected" like I do on my torch which means I can't press the FM button to stream to stereo
No aux plug (unless in rear of deck) and its a nav and vehicle monitoring touch screen so I'm not going to replace it
Any help?
Oh and why can't we get things in canada before or at same time as US - specifically for the music gateway so I can bluetooth at home

What I mean to say is that it's very likely that most (not everyone, just most) people viewing this post will agree that it'll always be ok to use tamas. I highly doubt that the same replies would be given if this was posted outside of Tamatalk, say, on one of those polls you see on the local news channel. I'm very sorry for being kind of a spoil sport but anyway...
Being young at heart is very important to me and that's why I still like tamas, but it's also important to acknowledge responsibilities to the world of real living people. When I was 9, it was ok to glue my nose to my gen1's screen. If I do that now, I would probably crash my car or get fired from my job. And I don't tell anyone who isn't close to me -- absolutely no one would take me seriously. If I did, I'd have to work extra hard just to prove myself.
Great topic. Very important kind of thing.

im10 this girl teens looked at my tamas and they were like hey the tamagotchi the worlds funest virtural pet i hade one but i lost it mine was so cute
Exactly. I don't know about you (as in everyone), but tamagotchi's aren't my whole life. I have priorities, and they're called family, school, friends, and pretty much life.
But I would never stop playing with tamagotchis. Ever. There's no age limit. After all, it says "For ages 8+." The + never ends!!
so that kind of takes away the teens not playing with one
Posted 02 May 2010 - 11:34 AM ( #56 )
I got my first tama in the 90's and played with them for several years. Then I stopped playing them throughout much of my teen-hood but then one day a friend and I were talking around in target and saw the tamagotchis and we both HAD to get one, if only for 90's childhood nostalgia purposes.
Since then I've collected three tamas. My most recent one is a tmgc+color, and I am actually use it to keep up with my japanese practice.
My husband, when seeing how much fun I had with my music star, got one for himself and proceeded to become VERY competitive with me (seeing who could pass the audition first, who could max out their stats fastest ect) and it was pretty fun to be goofy with him and play with our little toys.
Anyway, I think they are fun and relaxing and yes, a little bit silly, but who doesn't need some silliness in their life?

Mark Weber President, U.S. Public SectorNetApp
The work: Helped agencies meet the goals of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative and capitalize on private-sector best practices to ease the transition to the cloud.
The impact: Weber helped give federal leaders the confidence to move from being cautious adopters to IT innovators.

"Spinoff"! Is there any word more thrilling to the human soul? Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such TV spinoffs as Son of Sanford And Son and AfterMannix.Spin-Offs are when part of a successful show, usually characters, but sometimes a general concept (first you have the Law, then you have the Order), are taken and given a second show of their own. From a producer's perspective, it's a chance to explore other aspects of a concept. Actors can find opportunities to grow in their craft, as well as rise in importance by moving from just being part of an ensemble to having a show built around them. For the networks, it's a chance to establish a show with a built-in audience, making it that much easier for them to sell advertising. Lots of spinoffs go on to be successful shows in their own right, sometimes even surpassing the parent series in popularity. Others crash and burn (Joanie Loves Chachi, anyone?), suggesting that there is no such thing as a sure thing. Nevertheless, networks keep trying them.
— Troy McClure, The Simpsons, "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase"
There are several main types of spinoffs:
- Where a character leaves a show and the two run concurrently. Characters Crossover from time to time.
- Where a show comes to an end and a character from it is given his or her own new show. Provides an opportunity to Retool the character as well.
- Where a character is brought on to an existing show simply in order to be spunoff, hopefully making some of the original audience into viewers of the new show (See Poorly Disguised Pilot).
- The main character is revisited elsewhere in his narrative.
- Reimaginings - the concept is carried into a new show with the same basic premise but other factors and characters are completely new.
- Segment spin-offs - a recurring segment from the show becomes the main attraction.
- A type of Defictionalization - a Show Within a Show gets made into a real show of its own.
- The storyline on one show comes to an end, only to be continued in a new show with a different name.
- Official Fanzine Show - a trope usually applying to Reality TV, usually offering Behind The Scenes info or coverage that wouldn't fit into the main programme, often (but not always) broadcast immediately after the main show, on a sister channel.
- Online Spin-Off - A spin-off that's only shown online, sometimes overlaps with Segment Spin-Off, sometimes a spin-off In Name Only. Generally only an advert for the broadcast programme.
- Shared Continuity - more common nowadays, this spinoff generally carries no characters over from the show that spawned it, though both are in the same continuity that allows for Crossovers from the original.

Similarly, but less successfully, the Jeffersons' housekeeper Florence received her own spin-off Checking In, which was cancelled after one season.
- Archie Bunker's Place itself had a one season spin-off Gloria that featured Archie's daughter Gloria , having divorced Mike, starting a new life in New York.

- Ugly Betty —> Mode After Dark
- Offspring —> The Nurses
- EastEnders —> E20, following a group of teenagers outside of the main cast. Some were later promoted to the main series.
- 30 Rock —> Frank vs Lutz and Jack Donaghy: Executive Superhero.
- In the early 2000s, there were four Doctor Who online animated specials featuring the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors, and an alternate Ninth Doctor.
- Being Human had an online spinoff called Becoming Human which focused on Adam, a charater that had featured in an episode of the parent show, and otherwise entirely new characters.
Type 11 - part alternate continuity, part parallel Examples
Anime and Manga
- A concrete anime example is To Heart 2, which takes place in the same school as the original To Heart, only that it is set three years after. Some nods and cameos reinforce this.
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica has Puella Magi Kazumi Magica, which is about another group of magical girls. Its other spin-off, Puella Magi Oriko Magica is either a Prequel or an Interquel. A third spin-off entitled Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story was released for the Compilation Movie, and it is part Prequel, P.O.V. Sequel, and What If? story.
- Three new spin-offs began after the premiere of Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion. One is an Oriko Magica prequel. The other ones are Puella Magi Suzune Magica, which is about another group of magical girls, and Puella Magi Tart Magica, which elaborates on a background detail from the anime.
- Onegai Twins is set one year after the events of Onegai Teacher, it shares most locations and many of the first anime characters come back either as cameo or secondary characters.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! —> Yu-Gi-Oh! GX —> Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's —> Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
- Dr. Slump —> Dragon Ball
- Jewelpet —> Jewelpet Twinkle☆ —> Jewelpet Sunshine —> Jewelpet Kira Deco! —> Jewelpet Happiness, all of the series shares the same Jewelpets, but not the same characters in general to prevent canon confusion.
- The Mighty Thor: Has a interesting relationship with Journey into Mystery. Thor debuted in Journey into Mystery and headlined it for a while before taking over the title completely and later getting another series. 49 years after his debut, Journey into Mystery is introduced as a spin-off taking over Thor's numbering and Thor gets another series.
- Fantastic Four After the death of a prominent member of the book, the book ended at issue 588 and was revamped as FF (FF in the title standing for Future Foundation). After 11 issues of FF, Marvel revived the Fantastic Four for issue 600 (the previous issues being FF) and it will continue forward with FF also being released concurrently focusing on the non Fantastic Four members of the Future Foundation.
- Mercy Thompson Series and Alpha and Omega, along with a few short stories set in the same universe.
- The The Infernal Devices series, a spin-off The Mortal Instruments, is an interesting example; the two series share a couple characters, (namely, Magnus and Camille), but they're not central to either series, and all the other characters are new. Plus, "The Infernal Devices" takes place 200 years before "The Mortal Instruments".
- Den of Shadows —> Kiesha'ra
- The Graveyard (notable for featuring Mark Salling, pre-Glee) exists in the same universe as the Bloody Murder duology.
- The Reboot Star Trek films act as a Spin-Off parallel in an Alternate Timeline to the Star Trek: The Original Series.
- Star Trek: The Original Series —> Star Trek: The Next Generation: the spinoff is set approximately a century after the original.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation —> Star Trek: Voyager: the spinoff picks up almost immediately after the conclusion of its predecessor, and although it does not feature any continuing characters it does continue various stories and themes originating from TNG and DS9.
- Star Trek: Enterprise is set more than 110 years before The Original Series, and is arguably a spinoff of TOS, TNG or both.
- Each Star Trek series featured few crossovers, apart from one at the beginning of each spinoff as a symbolic "passing the torch". The first episode of TNG included a cameo appearance by an aged Dr McCoy; the pilot of DS9 (listed under type #1) prominently featured Captain Picard; the first scene of VOY included a cameo by DS9's Quark; the first episode of ENT showed a video recording of Dr Zefram Cochrane, a major character in the TNG film Star Trek: First Contact.
- Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe
- When spin-offs share a setting, there's also often a temptation to eventually include characters from the earlier series. eg. Worf ending up on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Samantha Carter ending up on Stargate Atlantis.
- Battlestar Galactica (2003) —> Caprica, a prequel spinoff which follows the creation of Cylons ~50 years before the setting of the parent show.
- The various CSI and Law & Order spinoffs.
- The first seven seasons of Power Rangers used the few characters variant, starting with Lightspeed Rescue, they used the no character variant, all set in the same universe, with characters only returning for team-up episodes (except for Power Rangers Dino Thunder and Power Rangers Samurai, where Tommy and Bulk returned as main characters, respectively).
- Eureka and Warehouse13 are established as a shared canon during an episode on each show in which each had a character visiting from the other.
- There was also a brief appearance of a recurring Warehouse13 character in an episode of Alphas, putting all three series in one universe.
- Once Upon a Time —> Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
- The Portal series, spinoff from Half-Life.
- The Shin Megami Tensei series has several concurrent timelines, with the main timeline and the if.../Persona timeline being the most notable ones. Nocturne implies that all the timelines are canon within the same multiverse.
- The The Legend of Zelda series now has a rather interesting spin off of it's own called Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U. It's a non-canon entry in the Zelda series handled by Tecmo-Koei that uses gameplay similar to their own Dynasty Warriors series, except with a Zelda twist (like incorporating famous Zelda items into the combat). In a way is also one part Cross Over because of the whole Zelda meets Dynasty Warriors thing.
- Paradox Space, spinoff of Homestuck.
- Skin Horse, shares a continuity with Narbonic.
- The Amazing Spiez, spinoff to Totally Spies!.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender -> Legend Of Korra
- Planes, spinoff from Disney / Pixar Cars.
- Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood an animated spinoff of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
- The World of David the Gnome was spun off into The Wisdom of the Gnomes (with no room for crossovers since David and his wife die in the last episode of their series).

In item #1 here, is Gholston politely saying that his coaches steered him away from Michigan, or is it something else?
In item #1 here, is Gholston politely saying that his coaches steered him away from Michigan, or is it something else?
But the four out of the top ten who not only chose UM but graduated from HS and enrolled early are model student-athletes and the "cream of the crop." Gholston has been fed so much crap by his "coach" that he would probably percieve neutral behavior or even some positive feedback from the UM staff as a "slight" or an "insult."
Whatever the mechanics were or the "last straw" excuse, it was his coaches who drove him away from UM. Since Gholston wasn't intelligent enough to see through it, I will assume that he wouldn't have handled the academics at UM anyway.
you have to wonder how that weakness will translate on the field -- Big Ten competition is not only bigger, faster, and stronger than high school, it's also smarter.
It's hard to guess what he might be referring to. Anyhow, if "the coaches know" what "things happened" then I'd imagine the U-M coaches may feel like they dodged a bullet with Gholston. In my experience, breakdowns like this usually go both ways.
I'd also look to the family. I know he's just a cousin, but for most of his recruiting, the OSU/Jets Gholston (Vernon) still had some lustre. The family probably thought young William should be treated like NFL royalty. But now Vernon's likely to be released by the Jets after two years, one of the bigger draft busts in recent memory. Most top-ten NFL picks, even if they don't become stars, end up with decent careers. Not this guy.
Does the NFL have better steroid testing than CFB? Because, V. Gholston was OBVIOUSLY juiced when he was at OSU. Maybe, he had his metaphorical hair cut off by the pros?
Judgmental much? This kid is 17 years old. Are you trying to tell us that your mentors during your teenage years weren't highly influential over your decision-making?
this comment is just embarrassing. it's like a jilted lover reflecting on all the reasons she didn't want to be in the relationship anyways after being dumped.
he didn't want to go to UM. he went to MSU. deal.
in fact, he showed more maturity by not going into details than you did with your comment.
Why MSU keeps on getting these Southeastern and Rennaisance kids. There's no secret there.
Rennaisance's coach basically came out and said it, and Southeastern's staff is in bed with MSU (no exaggeration there.)
Big deal. Two high schools in the state of Michigan cannot make or break a recruiting class. One state cannot make or break a recruiting class.
Gholston's a loss for us, yes. He would've fit in very well here. Kudos to MSU for getting him, but let's not get carried away.
There are thousands upon thousands of high schools out there that won't let their kids go to MSU - why is this, you ask? Because they're not prominent enough.
Michigan and Michigan State walk in to High School X anywhere in the country, you can probably bet your $$$$ that 9 times out of ten the kid's coaching staff is going to steet them to Michigan.
Let 'em have Rennaisance and Southeaster. At lease it makes the rivalry a little bit better.
I'm not sure we want/need a pipeline from Pershing.
Pershing hasn't put out much talent in the past few years and I don't know of any in the 2011 class. Southeastern, Renaissance, and Cass Tech have been the major producers of talent recently.
the better.
last off-season? I'm not sure -- it was one or two of the Michigan LBs/DEs in the NFL... It's hard to keep them straight -- there are so many!
He eats gravel for sustenance, drinks the tears of freshman athletes, and lives in the House that Bo built.
Foote works out with Barwis in the offseason (or has in the past), so the relationship is there.
Ewwww..... I'm having nasty Dantonio visions right now. And I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
I don't know what Gholston is talking about exactly. But you can see the sh*t that his Aggie coach is feeding him through Hankins's response to why not UM? He sounds like a kid that got totally brainwashed. If those quotes don't sound agenda driven, I dont know what would.
My favorite tho is Nick Hill. He's the kid that lived, breathed, and dreamed about Michigan. He never got an offer, felt slighted (and who wouldn't) and went to state. Why not UM, Nick?
"I feel more comfortable at Michigan State. It's a better fit. I stuck with my gut. I did think about U-M. Just overall, Michigan State was better."
I think he meant to say, "Just overall, Michigan State OFFERED."
I wouldn't worry too much about any of the comments in this article. Players which either weren't recruited by Michigan or were offered late because they were too out of shape to be taken seriously earlier in the year are using this as a platform to get back at those who they feel slighted them. Who cares what they think. I only care about the players who will be playing for the Wolverines.
About high school kids. They're going where they're going.
I wish them the best of luck in the classroom, on campus and on the practice field.
I hope the stink it up on gamedays though.....and not just against Michigan.
lets not assault Gholston's intelligence. Naivety is a fairer assumption.
Then again, I figure recruits that we offered are in three (or more buckets) when considering a Michigan offer these days:
1) The stud who figures he'll make the NFL, and wants to take the apparent lower risk approach and go somewhere proven (recently) like Fla, Bama, USC, Texas, (ugh) OSU (though they're not getting them this year), etc. (I'm thinking Gholston figured [or was influenced to think] State was the lower risk in state option. I'm hoping he'll be proven to be mistaken during his time at MSU.)
2) The guys just behind the studs, who need playing time, and opportunity to prove themselves in college, and are willing to take a risk to get there. National exposure at a Michigan in transition is an opportunity for them.
3) The guys that want to play pro-set, or (in Mathis' case) in a more pass happy conference.
Given how our seasons have gone since (at least) the loss to USC in the Rose Bowl - I can understand how the guys in group 1 are really hard to land. So I have faith that Rich and crew are working really hard to land the best guys in group 2 (and those in 3 that want to play in his offense) that they can.
You know what - assuming we get past the "house divided" lack of confidence in the coach thing. (Big assumption, and it does effect our players - seemed like they stopped believing - which had impact on the second half of our season ...)
Well anyway, I'd rather have a group of guys (in their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years in system) who want to prove themselves, than a group of guys who want to make it through to the NFL without risk.
So to the 3 and 4 star guys who are coming to Michigan: Go Blue and welcome. To the 4 and 5 star guys who are passing us over: we'll see you on the playing field in a few years.
Go Blue!
I think a lot of these guys are misrepresenting the truth in their comments.
Hill said he chose MSU for some flowery reasons, but the reason he didn't choose UM is because he couldn't.....he was never offered.
Mathis makes it seem like he chose Oregon over UM, but from everything I had heard for the past 9 months, UM had seriously cooled on the offer they extended to him.
It is easy for the people on this blog to dismiss these comments because we know about the circumstances surrounding these recruits. I doubt that many casual college football fans will be able to discern which recruits are blowing hot air and which are telling the truth.
For many (with the exception of people who frequent blogs all the time) articles like this prtray UM in a negative light, and it isn't helping us one bit.
Didn't help that all of our guys we unavailable for comment. PR miss ....
Tony Jones sounds confused...
"Why not MSU ? Growing up in Michigan, that's where everyone wants to go..."
EDIT: Also love how all Michigan's recruits are already enrolled. I'm ok with an article that comes across as a little negative if the players that are with us are getting a head start.
You beat me to it, I was thinking the same thing when I read his comment. Maybe where he went to school everyone wants to go to MSU but UM has the bigger presence in state and nationally.
I too loved how every player enrolled at UM is already there and were unavailable.
Some people around here insisted that Michigan's late offer to Hankins wasn't a big deal to him. I always thought otherwise, and here we have it straight from Hankins's mouth. He said that he felt like he was last on their agenda.
Anyway, this article doesn't really reflect that well on Michigan, IMO. Nobody said anything negative about MSU, really, but there were a few kids (Hankins, Mathis, Olaniyan) who reflected less than positively on UM.
Of course, none of UM's commits were available for comment, so that's probably part of it.
I was shocked by all the negative comments about UM, especially the one that said everyone who grows up in Michigan wants to play for MSU.
I wonder why the EE were not available for comment. If it was something the coaches decided on, I would bet they are second guessing that choice now that this article is out. It really paints UM in a negative light IME.
I believe Rodriguez put a rule in place that freshmen aren't allowed to talk to the media.
"Why not MSU ? Growing up in Michigan, that's where everyone wants to go."
WTF!? EVERYONE in Michigan wants to go to MSU!?
It seemed like every kid in this article wanted to go to MSU over UM. Of course, all the kids that actually picked UM were not heard from....how, convenient.
Edit: Damn! I did not read all the responses and basically copied another poster's idea. My bad...
WR Tony Jones: "Why not MSU ? Growing up in Michigan, that's where everyone wants to go."
I had no idea Tony Jones grew up on a farm?
he grew up in an irish bar. makes the MSU correlation way more understandable.
What would you rather have, a national recruiting base or an instate recruiting base? I'll take the national.Yes, we did miss on Gholston, but I would rather be a force in ohio, Florida and Texas, if we can crack Mack Brown's force field around the state. We'll be fine without those who just wasn't going to fit in here.
I hope every single one of these kids works hard and has all their dreams come true. I hope if they didn't come to UM, when and if we play them, we defeat them soundly. That's the worst ill I wish on them.
First of all, who gives a shit about this article?
I don't think it reflects poorly on Michigan at all. There are positives with respect to MSU, but that's mostly because not one Michigan recruit was interviewed.
The Freep and Detnews are essentially soundbite media outlets - there's no journalism involved at all.
This manifested itself to me when an article about Emilien's improptu Q & A session made it's way on to the Freep minutes after it happened....
Seriously, what the fuck? They write about That? Emilien essentially tweeted two word answers to questions that included "Sammie Sweetheart or JWoww", and the Freep writes an article about it.
"Who gives a shit about this article?"
Apparently you do, since you've posted about it thrice.
That's his signature move.
"I'm above this article about recruiting and incoming freshmen...but here's what I think about it anyways:"
The News is a lot better than the Freep. Not perfect, but better. They didn't interview any U-M commits, because all of the in-state U-M commits were already enrolled (ALL OF THEM, how awesome is that), and the university did not make them available. Actually, the News followed very good journalistic integrity there. Once enrolled, a student becomes a representative of the university, and so it is important to make interview arrangements THROUGH the university.
It's a bit unfortunate from a PR standpoint that the Michigan commits can't give glowing praise about their recruitment, but at least the Detroit News clearly stated the reasons behind the lack of information.
I can only imagine how the Freep would have spun this situation?
"Michigan recruits refuse to answer!"
"What secrets are Michigan recruits hiding?"
"Rodriguez muzzles new recruits!"
First of all, this is a very legitimate article, complete with quotes from all players that were allowed to speak. Vlad's article on the Freep or what happened there previously is completely irrelevant to this. Quotes from players to simple questions are news. Secondly, to someone that doesn't follow this closely it does in fact look at minimum strange, that three different top state recruits implicitly criticize our approach to recruiting them. Now, that doesn't mean that we did do anything wrong or make a mistake with them, and these are 17-18 year old kids, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but to dismiss it out of hand is pretty short-sighted IMO.
Michigan got bashed pretty hard in this article. For the reader who doesn't follow things closely it would lead them to believe that Michigan and their coaches are a pile of trash.
when we win. Equal or better talent can be found elsewhere for those who don't fit or want the wings.
landed just about every guy in this article that they REALLY wanted AND who they had any REALISTIC shot with.
Gholston and Bullough were Sparties from the get go because of family influences.
Hankins and Mathis were offered but never vigorously pursued.
Bolden, Boisture, Hill, et.al. were not even offered, IIRC.
The only guy on the list that I think UM "missed" was C.J. Olaniyan.
You're looking at the situation from a very Michigan-centric viewpoint.
Hankins WAS pursued vigorously. Michigan really wanted him...but they offered too late. They put on the full-court press once they offered.
Mathis WAS pursued vigorously early in the process. The coaches wanted him, but he delayed and his spot(s) were taken.
Bolden was offered by UM, but the others were not.
It's really too bad the Michigan players were not available for this story. Of course the players who didn't pick Michigan are more likely to have somewhat negative things to say about Michigan, otherwise they might have picked them. It would have been nice to have people say the good reasons why Michigan so we didn't end up looking like a piece of crap
"I don't own a ski mask."
The thing I kind of took from Mathis and Olaniyan's comments was that they weren't comfortable with the atmosphere or environment at UM. I think that's legit and a personal preference, but it's not something that should be ignored. It seems like our coaches are tough and yellers and, god forbid, happen to swear from time to time.
People respond differently to different types of instruction / criticism. There are people out there who do well in a high pressure, high intensity environment, and people who respond more to a calmer, more logical approach. I don't think one is necessarily right or wrong, but we have to realize that maybe this staff's style just isn't for everyone. If you're a guy who likes a calmer environment, I don't see why you'd sign up for four or five years of yelling and craziness. Just like those guys probably wouldn't ever sign up to play basketball for Bob Knight or Tom Izzo.
Yeah, the news outlets suck. In today's journalistic climate the best you can strive for is to be OK. Inaccurate, but OK.
puts you in good company.
Did we even read the same article? Geez guys, I read these comments and then read the article and have to wonder what everyone else on here read. You all read everything with such a bias to see bias that, guess what - you see bias. There is nothing any more negative in that article about Michigan than about any other program. Gholston's comment is that Michigan's coaches know why he didn't pick Michigan - that is it. He is being level headed and not saying any more. Tony Jones? He clearly prefers MSU to UM. Perhaps he grew up around MSU fans. He is giving us "the world according to Tony". Nothing else. Then he clearly states that UM wanted him to play safety, not WR (we have plenty of WR depth in the class). Big surprise he didnt favor UM. And Kater says that his worst recruiting experience was to MSU.
Get a fucking grip guys. Step outside of your own biased interpretative frameworks once in a while. You are creating something out of nothing. The only thing related to this article that paints UM in a bad light is this thread.
I don't care about Gholston or Tony Jones.
The things that look bad are Olaniyan (he didn't like the way the coaches ran things), Mathis (he didn't like the atmosphere), and Hankins (although not as bad as the others, he said he seemed last on Michigan's agenda).
It's not a horrible article. Nobody here is calling for people's heads. But when nobody in the entire article says a positive thing about Michigan (for reasons already discussed), it's not a great thing, either.
Hankins clearly admits it was Michigan's choice. I know you are a coach and all, but I trust RR's actions over the whole process over your opinion of Hankins. UM didnt like Hankins that much at first, it impacted how the whole process played out. I trust RR's instincts over yours Magnus.
Positive: Bullough on UM: "It's a great program"
Nobody else, that chose one program, says this about another program.
That the EEs are not speaking speaks volumes. That they ARE EEs speaks volumes. Try to listen, others are.
The guys who did not pick UM say they were not comfortable or did not like the program or did not have a good visit - and you are troubled by this? You think everyone who visits or who the coaches are interested in should feel comfortable with the program? What planet are you living on? UM is great, but it will not be great for everyone. It is a question of fit.
Not liking how the coaches run things means nothing. Unless you read something into it - it could mean he doesn't like to work so hard, or that he, guess what, just doesn't like the way coaches run things. It is a question of fit - both sides (the program and the player).

This hotel is the definition of terrible. We reserved a non smoking room (I'm very asthmatic) but when we walked in to our room the cigarette smell was thick and putrid. We told the manager who then told us to leave for an hour while he "airs it out". There was what looked like a blood stain on the wall, there was mold throughout the entire room (curtains, sink, bathroom etc.), no screens on the windows, spiderwebs inside, there was a sharp metal part of the sink that was broken and always cutting me. I wasn't expecting a 5 star resort at this price, but this level of uncleanliness is unacceptable. I cut my stay short with them and went to the closest hotel in Newport. Be warned, do not stay at this hotel.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located in downtown Waldport; clean, friendly and affordable, pet friendly. ... more less
- Also Known As:
- Alsea Manor Hotel
