Maybe if we tie for 3rd in the B1G, and have an alum on the Sugar Bowl committee we can do that. (Oh wait, didn't UM do that last year?)
Hey, UM is still relevant. If the UM/VT game wasn't such a laughable joke (as noted by every sportwriter in the country last year, based on the teams being there, and then again by the crap show both teams put up on the field), we wouldn't have a college football playoff now.
The BCS was created when the media gifted UM it's first championship since the 1940s (and sports fans were outraged), and then the BCS was killed off when UM was gifted what people used to think of as a prestigious bowl invite.
See you Oct. 20th, I'm really looking forward to those Denard Robinson arm punts.

I'd take Plaxico over those guys, too. Plax at least has a notable pro career. I've never even heard of Anthony Carter, and Manningham is a pedestrian pro and was an unremarkable college player. Edwards was a great, but not elite, college WR. Howard is a punt returner, and Woodson isn't even a WR.

You mean that without us having a HOF basketball coach he wouldn't want to play basketball at MSU? I'm curious at to what your logic is behind this post. That would be like me saying, "Without UM's storied history, X recruit who had an MSU offer wouldn't even think about playing football at UM".
Really comes off as an inconsequential point.
My point is: some/most MSU fans are likely to think this is a recruiting win for MD. I just wanted to point out, that couldnt be further from the truth.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Nice pickup for Izzo.

This encapsulates Walmart Wolverine "logic" better than anything else could:
If he goes to UM, it's a win for Hokey Pokey, but if he doesn't, it's just some kind of anomaly.
And while Izzo is the biggest draw of the 4 potential coaches between the 2 schools, Dantonio's actual results place him firmly in 2nd place. And this IS a huge win for Dantonio, Harris will be an elite college WR.
I don't think we can discount the 5 star bust rate for UM football players either...not to mention the decades long history of playing well below recruiting and preseason rankings in Ann Arbor.

Sure alot of Michigan commits had MSU offers. MIchigan is getting good players. Burbridge is qualifying. Jones was told not to visit because Hoke knew he was going to MSU. Same way Hoke never offered Jon Reschke, because he knew he was going to MSU. Same way Hoke will probably pull Drake Harris's scholarship

2. Reschke was not deserving of a Michigan offer, so he wasn't offered. Do you think Hoke is afraid of going against MSU "locks?"
There were articles on here that actualyl had quotes from coaches saying that they didn't want to offer because he's an MSU lock and it's a waste of time. I guess the #5 player in the state isn't good enough for hoke
