Huh, guess this is their response to Nwaneri

I still don't understand why it is EDGE and not Edge. I mean, Taaffe is a Safety, not SAFETY. Dicker the Kicker, not Dicker the KICKER. Although, he might deserve the extra capitalization. 

It's weird to me.

Your quote above sounds like something Jerry Seinfeld might say at one of his stand-up routines.

I agree. It’s not an acronym, so it makes no sense.

Because safety is "S", kicker is "K".  It's the abbreviated form of edge rusher. They  capitalize all the others QB, WR, TE, S, etc so they kept the same form with EDGE.

I have an easily searched posting history here. Feel free to be less passive aggressive and put into sharp relief for the board those moments where I ever dismissed Oregon or Ohio State as threats to anyone’s roster due to NIL, including Texas. Michigan’s backing from Ellison is new, the other two aren’t. So “now”? No. Always has been the case. 

Relax, Boss. The post was not aimed at you or your posting history.

There are a bazillion BSD posts around here. Your post indicates we are not The BSD everyone thought we were.

I wish positions and class designations and the team mascots were all proper nouns. I may just start always capitalizing them because fuck all of the rules these days, I guess. Plus, I know it will irritate you, Huck and various other proud pedants participating on this board.

We don’t know enough about Michigan yet in order to truly determine if they’re always looming like a gargoyle over any recruitment they want.  That is actually the case with Oregon. Ohio State is a peer at the head of the class. Being in the top 1% makes us a BSD, but not the only one, IMO.

I think most of the recruiting regulars agree and understand. We cannot do anything to prevent ignorant hubris from infecting clowns on the football board and the random morons on this board that most of us have on ignore.

Sounds perfectly reasonable, but up until the last few years the position was always designated as DE.
