If you're into apologizing, it should be for the idiotic thought that D. Green is reading this thread thinking "I sure wish these Vol fans would hate on Michigan more so I won't want to go there. Some of them seem to like snow, maybe I do want to go to UofM? Hmmm, they've given me a lot to think about. Thanks, VN, for talking me into becoming a Wolverine!"

IMO

They have been playing Denard at HB because of nerve damage prohibiting from throwing accurate. He is the best athlete on the field so they have to put him somewhere. So it isn't so much a reflection of their depth as much as keeping a top playmaker on the field.

It's not the nerve damage that has kept him from throwing accurately :p

I don't have access, but there's a new Rivals article in which he said "I am definitely considering Miami."

May not be just a two-horse race.

It's more, "I went to UT but wish I would've gone to Michigan" posts that piss me off.. And if it doesn't piss anybody else off, u need to reevaluate your fandom

Funny, I don't recall reading any posts that said "Derrick Green should go to Michigan because..."

Idiot and ignorant Vol fans are more likely to make Green choose Michigan than Tennessee fans discussing some of the positive things Michigan has for them. Obviously Green has seen those positives for himself otherwise he wouldn't even be considering Michigan.

They might as well have said that.. I can guarantee u Michigan fans aren't praising UT in any of their D Green threads..

Here's another quote from the article that tells me we have a solid shot of landing Green.

Green says what he wants in a program is "a school with high academics that's producing players in the NFL, a school with game day atmosphere and most important is my chance of getting on the field as a freshman. That's what I'm looking for."

I also get the feel he just wants to take a trip to Miami and their beat writer is making it seem more than what it really is. He has 2 OVs left to take, and Miami is very pretty this time of year. Keep in mind they may have some serious sanctions looming.

From an article on CaneSport.com on 12/18/2012 discussing Miami's top targets.

Green is one of the nation's most highly sought recruits, and we see him as very much a longshot even though UM is trying to sway him.

I've always been amazed at the amount of hostility shown towards other vol fans on here.

Footballs a passionate game.. Represents schools/cities/states, and some of us are tired of being nice and gentle, and want to go back to being the team other teams hated to play.

I recall one dude saying that a few pages and I was like wtf. Deff not something that goes over well in a Vol msg board. Think the rest of it is just general discussion, which is fine and even interesting IMO. I don't like going off topic in a recruiting thread, but if someone goes there, I'm always willing to chime in if I have something to say.

Kelly is leaving that's why their class is ranked right around ours right now. They will be behind the 8 ball come mid January.

Eagles or Panthers looks like. Any rumors on who will replace him? If we can shut down De'Anthony Thomas, I think we can take them next year.

Thanks for the info. If I were a top recruit, I'd definitely take all of my OV's. Enjoy being wined and dined while you can.
