    Jethro's UM Football Thread

    This is a special thread for Jethro, who asked for ANY and ALL information regarding Michigan Football. Jethro, I hope you like this. I'm using all my extensive resources developed over the years to put this stuff together for you. You must be aware, though, that where I lack the facts and correct information that you (and others, too) will find useful, I'll just make some shit up. First up (Most comes from Scout, which I have chosen over Rivals, much to the dismay of Chris Balas):
    Interesting ... players being told this.

    All through the year ... there is an 'extra-curricular game' that's going to be played.

    Players are grouped into about 12 mini-teams of 8 ... with each "team" having offensive and defensive players, at different positions as well.

    Then there is a weekly (Mon-Sat) "competition," with points kept ... encompassing everything: academics, practice, weight room, game-performance.

    The losing team each week - gets a 'reward' of a 6AM weight-room session with Coach Barwis and staff.

    They just signed Kleefbelt "The Yule Log" Bogenshlotz, a 5'7, 338 lbs lineman fromYipshhood-On-Feather, Glastonbury, Scotland. He's a 1/2 star who can double as a long snapper. Bogenshlotz was a serious target of Mark Dantonio and the Sparties, and Dantonio reportedly told the ETSTI coach that "Pride cometh before the fall".**

    **Though this report is true, don't expect too much other than UM news, and then the occassional comedic relief from the drudgery of Serious Football Talk.

    Here's some info on Ryan Mallet, from a couple friends who are "insiders", and DO have some connections:

    There is a feeling that Mallet was gone even if Lloyd, Loefler, or Debord (or any combination of the three) stayed around. Mallet has been a poor fit at UM, is not well liked (to say the least) by team mates, and is regarded as a malcontent by many around Ann Arbor.
    It goes as far as him being "kicked out" of frat parties, regular parties, and him being a loner looking out for himself. Reports of being "uncoachable", and telling fellow players that he was "outta here" long before bowl week and Lloyd's announcement of retiring.
    In short, the Mallet transfer has come as a shock to no one, and there are whispers that Lloyd knew of it for some time.
    It appears that there wasn;t much RR could do, even though RR has said he talked to Ryan about how he could mold the offense to Mallet's talents.
    Take it for what it's worth, but I have heard this from more than one person.

    I don't like the name change of this thread. I am protesting. Call it the Jethro UM Football Thread or soemthing. I'm really ticked off this time.

    Thank you. Do you young guys see the Power of the Voice? Just speak up, politely, and classy, like I do when you see an injustice.

    By the way, change it to this: The Jethro 34 UM Football Thread. Or else I'll go stark raving mad and I won't leave any squirrell corn out ALL winter.
