Elmer Has Silent Leader

    Maybe the kid wants a job after college?? Lets look at the facts of UM and MSU? UM is one of 8 teams that would NOT have qualified for a bowl game last year based on the the new proposed academic requirements and the sad part is that EVERY SEC school qualified!!! Harbaugh was right UM 'sells out' to win at any cost- Obviously they don't care about the student athlete MSU?? Better knows and JUCO "U"! They have more JUCO's than all SEC schools again very scary!! MSU graduates 55% of their football player and only 45% of their black football players and safe to say most of them don't major in Engineering!! Tirade?? I am sure that Muschamps "tirade" yesterday will effect recruiting at Florida?? I am sure ESPN will cover that one!! I would rather have a coach that goes off on my son than ALLOWS one to NOT graduate like the MSU staff obviously encourages!!!

    This poster is an absolute piece of work.

    After scouring MSU's 2011 roster I found 3 Juco players

    Fonoti OT from California MSU connection - relative of the Peko's
    Pacheo DL from California MSU connection - Juco HC is former MSU QB Mike Rassmusen
    White DT from Battle Creek MSU connection - HS teammate of Caper Juco due to HS grades

    Allows players not to graduate? Last I checked players have every opportunity to graduate and as opposed to non-athletic scholarship students (like my youngest who is at MSU) they get tutoring help made more available to them than the student body. Due to required travel, etc I don't begrudge them but athletes are encouraged to graduate. They have to want to graduate.

    So Elmer chose ND. Good for him. He chose a school that graduates over 98% of its athletes and at 8400 undergrad probably has much smaller classes . As an MSU grad had my yougest had the opportunity to play for ND and do it on a full ride I wouldn't suggested the offer be rejected out of hand.

    I banned the guy for a month. Turns out he's been banned from 4 other 247 site for trolling.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

  • Regarding young Master Elmer:

    For all of those people who cannot

    understand, he made the decision that was best for him.

    Can’t we all appreciate that this kid and his parents were simply

    keeping promises and honor when they committed to Notre Dame?

    Honor is something under-appreciated nowadays, and

    I refuse to watch it die now. Good luck, Mr. Elmer, and

    may God shine down on you.
