You said it wasn't a selling point. That was the wrong part. How many more times do we have to spell it out?

The attendance of the spring game isn't a selling point. Facilities, coaching staffs, playing time, history, academics. Those are selling points.

"Hey kid, look at our spring game attendance!"
"Awwww coach. I commit right now!"

LOL

Michigan's recruiting has been just fine. Which is just proving my point.
2011: 11-2 (with Rich Rod's guys), 2012: 8-5, 2013: 7-6....looks like recruiting's going just peachy ;)

Michigan has the 31st ranked 2014 class.

Then why do they invite the recruits?

Do you get routinely get crushed in sports discussions in person? This is somewhat painful to be involved in.

They invite recruits to all kinds of things. Games, practices, off-season.

What's painful is that there is no proof to what you are saying, yet you'll boast about it because OSU hypes it up and has something to brag about. Good job OSU.

C'mon Webbie. It would definitely look a helluva lot better if we had 50k+ at our spring practice instead of 15k. That's just commom sense.

But I thought Hoke was great and Hoke & Mattison was a god?!
You mean... those guys aren't developing their players? Well... if those guys aren't developing their players, then who's responsibility is it?
And if they are developing their players, then why the reason for the poor records and why did you cite/reference "player development. different topic"?

Webfire is just upset that OSU is going to pummel Michigan this fall, again. Enjoy it!
