Richard Ash
So, I just saw his Facebook update a second ago:
Richard Ash ON MY WAY BACK TO PAHOKEE! =)
EDIT: No legs to this -- he could be messing around but not a good sign.
[mod edit: followed up with "just kidding" - thread locked]

Can all of our young defensive players quit, PLZZ?
August 11th, 2010 at 11:45 AM ^
There are at least two things wrong with this post.
- Facebook status? Really?
- Awesome informative title.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:47 AM ^
Yes -- for one, I don't talk to players. I just thought this was pretty interesting to say the least.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
The sad face after "PAHOKEE!" is upside down.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
He is on his way back to Pahokee
August 11th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
It's going to be a very long three weeks.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:05 PM ^
You misspelled "coma"
August 11th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
perhaps he meant the welcoming arms of his fellow pahokeeans in a dorm room or dining hall.
please.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:49 AM ^
Barwis is probably just making him run a 1300 mile wind sprint to burn off some fat, don't worry he'll get plenty of chocolate milk in return.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:49 AM ^
Who knows if this has legs, but you know how the saying goes: "when it rains, it pours"
August 11th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
Let me help all of us out a bit on the "Don't post players facebook info."
Ask Tom VH how he first started getting interviews with players. I will let you guess if he has ever secured an interview over facebook or conducted an interview off of facebook or become comfortable/created a dialogue with a player off of facebook.
A) It is first hand info. from Michigan Football players.
B) This is a Michigan Sports Blog.
C) Stop telling people what you feel should or should not be published. It is info. read it if you like, don't if you don't.
/pissed off this morning and you would be too if the info./post wasn't frozen...

August 11th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
It looks like the team has weighed in on the subject of Facebook and the verdict is that they are going to mock followers with fake updates. How does that make you feel about it now?
August 11th, 2010 at 11:51 AM ^
He was too fat, Barwis sent him home to chase rabbits out of the cane fields
August 11th, 2010 at 11:55 AM ^
Hopefully he also told him not to *eat* the bunnies.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:25 PM ^
Rabbits have almost zero fat on them. If you eat nothing but bunnies you can actually die from lack of fat in the diet ("rabbit starvation").
August 11th, 2010 at 11:53 AM ^
JT Turner and Richard Ash got together and said, "how can we cause a bunch of bloggers shit themselves?" And they came up with this. It was genious.
/BISB prays to Angry Michigan Defensive Talent Hating God that he is right...
August 11th, 2010 at 12:14 PM ^
I'm sure that if I were a savvy freshman just arrived on campus, it would be tremendous free entertainment to post crap on your FB wall and then watch the ripple effect on the boards scant few minutes later. What an awesome feeling of power it must give 18-yr olds to know they can affect adult males so easily.
Future historians will shake their heads in wonderment, and pity.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
But I'm curious if anyone posted the link to this discussion on his page. It's an interesting object lesson in the ease with which their online activities can extend beyond the intended reach.
August 11th, 2010 at 11:58 AM ^
I absolutely love this blog to death but I miss the days when I would just turn on the TV for for the first game and learn about that year's team for the first time. All of this information is going to give me a heart attack!
Also, how bad have things gotten that I immediately think the worst when I see just a players name as the title to a new thread.
I agree with Don, wake me up when the season starts!
August 11th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
*Reaches for the tin foil*
I can't do this anymore. I'm going to go crazy :/ Wake me up when September comes. I'll be in my closet.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
I'll be in my closet.
It's been tried before:
August 11th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
He's commented on it saying, "Just playin..."
Thanks for blowing up the board.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
An hour or so of icing my balls after the dong punch it just received and everything will be back to normal.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
Coming from the guy who ridiculed me for checking Facebook statuses. I didn't say anything other than what he posted.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
I just released a single tear of joy...
August 11th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
Saw his status. He just updated it saying, "just playin..."
Edit - BlockM beat me to it.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:02 PM ^
Those who stay will be champions.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:17 PM ^
will increase Tums and Xanax sales in Southeast Michigan.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
from ever having to get a Facebook account, so I've got that goin' for me.
On the other hand, the Football program is clearly going to need a "Social Networking Coordinator." No word yet on whether that might count against our allowable number of coaches.
In the department of completely, hysterically, raving overreaction, everybody can re-review "Hello: Richard Ash" ---
August 11th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
I'm not sure whether to be angry at that cruel joke or laugh at what kind of mini-panic such a simple thing created... you're ok Ash, you're ok.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
Now if we can just put the JT Turner rumblings to rest, I can actually get some work done today.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
if you are friends with him on Facebook, why don't you ask him what it means? Otherwise who cares and why post it? It could literally mean anything or, just as likely, mean nothing at all.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:08 PM ^
I've been wearing my soul dong cup....you guys should really get one for stuff like this
August 11th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
EDIT: BlockM beat me to it. Gave me a good scare.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:08 PM ^
I'm starting to miss the Tate vs. Denard threads... Can we get one of those going please?
August 11th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
...and you shall receive. Look up one post.
Enjoy!
August 11th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Your wish was granted. Ask and ye shall receive, just be careful what you ask for....
August 11th, 2010 at 12:16 PM ^
and was updating an EDIT: to my post but was locked out:
"EDIT: That was, you know, s/. But a survey has appeared. Which is kind of the same thing "
August 11th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
Shouldn't he be at practice?
August 11th, 2010 at 12:14 PM ^
It's noon.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
Makes sense. He clearly hasn't missed many lunches.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
Zing!
August 11th, 2010 at 12:16 PM ^
He posted this on FB via mobile web. So he's sneaking in some internet time on a fancy phone.
August 11th, 2010 at 12:14 PM ^
We know players read this blog right? Somehow, something deep inside me feels like this was a joke to see our crazy fantastic fanatacism for Michigan football. +1 to Ash, and +1 for our respone. THAT IS DEDICATION, BABY!
August 11th, 2010 at 12:14 PM ^
Mods, can we get an edit to the OP to close the thread out?
