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.

That would make one long ass motto, but it is spot on.

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

In term of Ellison there are a couple of points to consider in terms of what he could bring to Michigan in support of his new wife. 
 

He spent 6B to help his son buy Paramount, 200M to help daughter pay off lenders from her production company. 
 

Throwing his new wife $50M (basically not even couch cushion money but the money under couch) is nothing. Oracle has had a long standing relationship with UM (sends top talent managers there each year for training), hires a lot of new sales/development folks out of there yearly etc 

Larry has potential to be an absolute game changer in NIL with for him is not even a blip of his money. Will be really interesting to see where this goes. I don’t believe he personally gives a shit about college sports but pussy makes you do crazy things.

Allow me to put it more succinctly:

His net worth is more than 6x Phil Knight.

I’m sure this issue has been raised before, but is there any chance some of the posters here could enter the transfer portal? And enroll with another fan base?

Just asking…

A Cal guy bought me In-N-Out once but ultimately it was not enough to get me into the portal. Getting a shake with the burger and fries might have done it but he couldn't make the numbers work.

I don't understand when you kids started using "Edge" to describe the DE position.  

For you kids, a DE is a Defensive End.

OK fuck this shit. Someone needs to take one for the team and send their wife to honeypot Musk. Begun the vagina wars have.

The very idea of Musk getting involved with a sports organization and not completely obliterating everything enjoyable about it within a year is positively laughable.
