Do you realize that if you take away all 13 scoring plays for Michigan (in The Game) against the Buckeyes over the past two seasons, that Michigan is shut out in both games?

And, I just realized this… only one FG for Moody in those last two games against the Bucks - only ONE (1) FG, though there were twelve (12) extra points.

I’m sure that some fans in Ohio who actually believe this could happen.

Ryan Day is trending on Twitter because of this commit. OSU fans are not taking this one well. You just hate to love to see it.

Glad we’re getting back into Ohio.Went through dry spell for a few years.Winning the Game helps.Too many good players in that state and OSU can’t get all of them.Getting ones they want is fabulous.

According to ESPN:

Michigan   Pass Attempts  370    Rushing Attempts   600   (7th most in BCS)

OSU                                   410                                   466   (71st most in BCS)

https://www.espn.com/college-football/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/rushing/table/rushing/sort/rushingAttempts/dir/desc

Any elite RB would love to play for a run-based offense like Michigan.

Catching a few passes out of the backfield doesn't hurt.

Welcome aboard Jordan. You and Cole can determine who gets Thunder II & Lightening II.

Who are those guys?    They look like Wolverines - who are alumni today.

And, look at what they did.   Both - worked on Sundays for a number of years - and, they needed to continue to work on weekends after they stopped “playing” on Sundays.

Oh, to top it off… have you thought about stuff they need to keep “clean and dust free” at home?  Both received something from the Downtown Athletic Club in New York during college - and (I think it’s bronze… not gold - like gold pants).  And, that bronze statuette requires attention to stay clean.

Yeah, both played high school football in Ohio and excelled at Michigan…

Hmmm… it sounds like a theme….  Go Blue!

Marshall is definitely a good get. However number two ranked Taylor Tatum and number eight ranked Dillin Jones we’re both offered by Michigan and were interested. Getting number 13 ranked Marshall probably extinguishes that. Taylor iand Jones tape is more impressive than Marshalls. I still have my oh how I hate Ohio State bumper sticker from 1975 but I don’t give a rats ass about what state we got Marshall from. The goo goo and gah gah about getting a running back from Ohio is a bit weird.

You sound pretty miserable but let me try to help you: 
 

1. Tatum is on the record saying that Marshall’s commitment doesn’t affect him and Michigan’s willingness to play 2 RB’s together right now appeals to him. 
 

2. Marshall is a top 100 recruit, #7 RB per the 247 Composite, and the first top 100 recruit from Ohio with an Ohio State offer that Michigan has reeled in since 2013. The “goo goo gah gah” over getting the Ohio HS Player of the Year is pretty justified if you ask me.

Boo this man. You're placing a lot of confidence on #2, #8 and #13 meaning something. Just for reference, guys move around a ton month to month. 

Its weird that you have a bumper sticker from 1975 and don't understand why recruiting Ohio has always been critical for Michigan. 

Until OSU becomes an annual 5 loss team, us being better than them means we're in the National title picture.

Also, more subjectively, many feel that marshall is better for us than tatum. So, its an opinion thing even among fans.

Lastly - Tatum said he doesn't care and he shouldnt. We have 2 thousand yard backs per season. Of all positions, RBs should be at the top of the list to make sure we have multiple great ones.

Lastly lastly - a guy from Ohio committing at this stage also kinda tells me that the guys he visited on (many) are in the pool too. I don't think he comes here without our recent crushings of osu AND without the promise of more elite players joining him from Ohio and all over.

It seems Jordan has both strong athletic ability and the intelligence to select / commit to Michigan (over other schools who have offered him).

A great combination.

Welcome and Go Blue!
