Remember when I said the Rolling Stones were bad and people said they were good, actually? The prosecution presents Exhibit 1A, Your Honor:

These are the same people that are making a Michigan ayatollah a "special guest" in the Horseshoe. Hopefully the earth doesn't open up and swallow the Shoe whole for this outright blasphemy.
The prosecution rests. #BoycottKidRock #SaveOurShoe
BUCKS OVERTAKE CHASE. Despite what the NCAA will tell you, there are perks to being a high-profile NCAA Athlete. Yesterday, 14 Buckeyes received such a perk during a job shadowing experience at Chase Bank:

It didn't surprise me to find Cardale Jones positioning himself as a young tycoon:

DARRON LEE RUNS TWITTER. Dolodale has made social media waves this summer, but pound-for-pound, Darron Lee might be the best Tweeter on the team.
He brought his A-Game yesterday.
I cannot wait until next year after seeing what I just saw

Is Darron Lee talking about the addition to the championship wall or seeing Kerry Coombs inject FourLoko into his eye before sunrise? It's hard to tell, because Lee refused to elaborate, even when Joey Bosa inquired.
Never knew why the TTUN always talked about the 90's like anyone remembers...or cared but hey gotta cling to something right?
— Darron Lee (@DLeeMG8) May 19, 2015
I would just like to state that I remember the 1990s. Outside of The Rivalry, the 1990s were electric. Everybody was a cash money mobster. Plus, we had Napster.
Lee's point stands, of course, but I'm just saying... don't sleep on the dang Nineties.
@kristaduff if I got to class would I still be classless?

I love lambasting Michigan folks for their shitty sports preferences and then watching them throw their hands up in the air and say, "Worry about your own team!" As if it's not an eternal blood feud to the death in these streets.
@DLeeMG8 LOL, I can't even act mad, that's a clever rebuttal Good luck to you, sir. Wish it could be a friendly rivalry! #GoBlue

I hope Urban levels Ann Arbor. I hope the score is ran up so high that the only thing Michigan fans can deploy in their defense is a bankrupt catch-all like "classless."
"Wish it could be a friendly rivalry!" Who the hell says that? Milquetoast Michigan fans, that's who.
R.I.P. TO MICHIGAN. I bet Kerry Coombs won't sleep during his 48 hours behind enemy lies.
On the road again! Planting Scarlet and Gray flags in TSUN all day today and tomorrow! #thankstoallthegreathighschoolcoachesinthisstate!

Talk about a fox in the henhouse. The whole trip won't be perusing Detroit gutters and busting high-level crime figures, however. Coombs does have a day job.
From Dave Biddle of 247Sports.com:
Coombs of course can't mention the names of recruits, but some of the prospects he's expected to visit while in Michigan are four-star wide receiver Donnie Corley from Detroit King (No. 14 WR, No. 105 overall recruit in country in 2016 class, per 247Sports Composite), five-star wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones from Detroit Cass Tech (No. 3 WR, No. 12 overall in 2017 class, per the Composite) and Ohio State commitment Michael Jordan from Canton Plymouth (No. 16 offensive tackle, No. 156 overall prospect in 2016 class, per the Composite). Coombs will likely check out a handful of other players from Michigan, but those are three that are almost assuredly on his list.
I assume Donnie Corley and Donovan Peoples-Jones will be committed before sunset.
GENE SMITH'S GOOD IDEA. Gene Smith offered a good way to clarify the murky waters of graduate transfers.
Via Brian Bennett of ESPN.com:
"If I'm a dean of a graduate school, I'm concerned about my graduation rates," Smith said. "And if I'm taking people who aren't going to finish and you know they're not going to finish, that's a challenge.
"I think we need to talk about it. We need to be fair to the kids, but at same time we need to look at it differently. Because it's not an academic issue. They got their undergraduate degree, so let's quit the facade. How do we facilitate that and not damage a graduate program?
"Why not just take graduate courses? Why say they have to progress forward? Why do they have to be in a graduate program at all? Why couldn't they just take some courses that would be beneficial to their education? It might be real estate, it might be public speaking. I don't care.
"At the end of the day, they've got one more year of athletic eligibility. Let them go expire that. But don't put it on the back of academics, because it's not."
Ban all the transfer restrictions, IMHO.
SAM HUBBARD REMINISCES ABOUT KILLING A MAN. Sam Hubbard was once committed to Notre Dame (in lacrosse). Urban Meyer first saw his physicality on the dodgeball court, but it's easy to see what attracted Meyer to Hubbard:

Between the talent in the pipeline and on the roster... Ohio State is going to be loaded at defensive end for years to come. And that's before factoring in possible commits like Nick Bosa and Prince Sammons.
It's fitting too, because that's what I remember most about OSU losing to Florida in 2007: Being terrorized by their defensive line.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE. You know Shawn Oakman from the memes, but it looks like the folk legend won't be slowing down anytime soon:
I am glad I am not in charge of blocking that man this fall.
