Posted by ShockFX On May - 5 - 2009

Multiple Choice (Choose all the apply)

Question 1: How do I deal with Michigan recruits dropping places in the rankings?
A) Bitch about them dropping for being already committed.
B) Fret about not having any top 100 recruits in May.
C) Get enraged that Rivals sucks at ranking players and isn’t fair, then shamefully realize my last post was demeaning Rich Rod for offering ‘middle of road’ WRs, where middle of the road is determined using rankings like Rivals. Oops.
D) Point out RR track record in excelling with recruits that are low ranked, and hell, it’s only fucking May, these kids are juniors in high school and this addiction is borderline pedophilia even to the greeks/spartans (the ancient ones, not the rollerbladin’ brahs in the EL).
E) Just D.

Question 2: How do I communicate my feelings about reduced rankings to said recruits?

C) What are MySpace and Facebook?
D) Whooaa, people actually friend recruits and then talk to them? That’s really fucking creepy.
E) http://pedobear.org/

We have taken extreme measures to identify, qualify, and rank the future recruits and present the single most important recruit for each of the classes during Comrade Rodriguez’s leadership of our football team.
