Could be something, could be nothing

Gary liked a decommitment post by former Michigan 4 star commit Devery Hamilton. At the very least it shows that he is seeing the backlash of the shady dealings of Harbaugh. Think our chances are slowly creeping up hour by hour this weekend.

I wonder how today went

Beautiful weather, beautiful campus, great coaches, players, and families - all set in contrast to multiple de-commitments up north in Michigan. It is obvious the Gary family is aware of this and as smart as they are my money is on they get cold feet no pun intended.

One of the huge selling points, that no one talks about is southern hospitality. Many people that were raised in the southeastern US take it for granted. That's a mistake, it doesn't exist in most of the country. People that are not from the southern US think it's a myth or an exaggeration. It takes 6 months to a year for people from outside the southeast to understand that southerners are just plain friendlier and more polite. If you say "hello, how are you", to a stranger in NYC, they'll stare at you longer and harder than if you were a three headed turtle. In South Carolina it's just a normal greeting and the person that said it is actually expecting and willing to listen to the answer. It's a small thing, but it's a huge thing. If Mr Gary can understand that it's a REAL thing......well.......it's something that most places just don't have.
Ann Arbor? Been there.....they ain't got it.

I moved down here from Illinois 20 years ago. One of the first things my family noticed and were in love with was how people waved to you if you were driving by and they were out cutting the lawn or something of the sort. Very charming.

Good morning! True story: some years ago while driving

through a neighborhood, an older lady began waving with both hands, and I thought, "How nice is that!"
Got a couple of houses past hers and had to brake suddenly. Turned out that I had a flat.....and she was trying to warn me! lol

Oh how the South is different..but at HHisland & a zillion other places in the South the Yankees have moved down & taken over.
I'd say 75% of people around here are Yanks..if not, they are illegals drawn here over last 10+ years due to construction & hospitality industry.
Ok I guess, as long as they like Grits & say Howdy!

a Yankee before to which I reply that I am, or was, a "Midwesterner". Born in Wisconsin in fact.
But when I do make it back up north, err, to the Midwest, I am told I have a southern accent. So perhaps we can persuade all the transplants to start waving at cars passing by and to recognize that a hot dog all the way can mean different things depending where you are.

Hmmmm? I've been to Michigan more than once, and the people (ALL of them) seem pretty friendly to me. I'm not sure I can agree with your assessment of people's hospitality in Michigan.
But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express when I was there. That might be the difference.

Unfortunately the tigerNet system will only allow "one" thumbs up, otherwise, I would have given you many more for your post. This is not a slam on any other part of the country but is a complement to the folks from the south.

the greatest front four in college football history. Think about it - Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence, Clelin Ferrell, and Rashan Gary. No way the quarterback gets the ball off beyond 2 seconds. Unstoppable!

I think the kid had kind words about Michigan in his decommit post, may be why Gary liked it.
