He's right, but his name is Booger, so how seriously can you take him?

FSU will play Georgia in their bowl game.

So the Bahamas Bowl is being played in North Carolina this year? Think they'll tell Old Dominion or Western Kentucky before the plane takes off?

if pettiti was in charge he would tell them when they were in the plane halfway to the bahamas.

I’m impressed. That’s like me promising my wife a getaway to London and Paris but then taking her to London, Ontario off of the 401 then driving another hour to rural village Paris, Ontario.

Can’t say that I saw this coming.   Assume they will be bringing in either Cam Ward, Riley Leonard, or Will Howard from the portal.

Just another big name to add to the portal, mentioned it in another thread but I really hope Michigan doesn't miss out on one of them... unless JJ does come back.

Dont want a freshman qb or one of our current backups to be our starter next year.

Or you can visit Rome and Athens and never leave Georgia.

I was talking to an Ohio State friend about McCord last week and he mentioned how despite the ostracization of McCord in Columbus (due to his not falling in line with the Barrett/Haskins/Fields/Stroud lineage), he is the type of QB who would be adored in East Lansing and basically become a cult hero overnight. He's not wrong. Not sure if Smith will be able to pull that off, but McCord would be a great get for MSU.

Grass isn't always greener though if you're OSU. Just like calls for Day to leave, McCord was 11-1. I wouldn't be surprised if McCord was just told "you're not guaranteed the starting job" and he gave them a big middle finger.

Proven commodities aren't easily acquired, and success isn't easily maintained even when you get one.

[RandyMarsh]

I have a feeling that OSU already told him that they are going after one of the big names in the portal and of OSU goes after them chances are they will be getting them.

Presuming Michigan has another couple key transfers lined up.  

[RandyMarsh]

This one is surprising, weird to see a WR leave OSU considering how many early NFL picks they have churned out at that position.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I'd love to have JJ back first and foremost, but going pro is probably his best bet. Riley Leonard seems to fit what Michigan would want to do and is a solid, accurate pocket passer. I'd love to get a QB like Cam Ward and see how his mobility could transform this offense, but I just get the feeling that a QB like Leonard fits what we would want to do moreso.

they have a bunch of five stars sitting right behind him.

[casimir]

Are we going to see fewer NFL draft hopefuls sitting out playoff games than we would if those teams were only participating in non playoff bowl games?  That's probably more of a fortunate byproduct rather than an engineered outcome.

Are we going to see a similar effect with players entering the transfer portal?

They have a QB recruit named Air Noland.  Let me repeat, a QB named Air.  That's a good thing, right?

they'll pay for whomever they want in the portal.  osu will be ok.
