Love Matt Godin already.
Today went down to Delphos, OH to witness future Michigan Wolverine Matt Godin. Had a great day 2 sacks, around 3-4 TFLs, while also knocking out the DSJ quarterback. Maybe the best part after the game Godin rushes to the fence to two guys with Buckeye apparel on, and says "I hope you'll enjoy me doing that to Braxton Miller for 4 years" and walked away. Loved seeing the Buckeye fans faces after that. Wyatt Shallman also looked impressive at RB, scored a touchdown probably ran for 70-80 yards.
Go Blue!

I live just a couple of mile from Delphos, (Elida) to be exact. i wish i would of seen that. Priceless
September 3rd, 2011 at 1:41 AM ^
I like that. We need attitude like that at Michigan.
September 3rd, 2011 at 1:49 AM ^
I like the confidence, but it's pretty lame to say that to the fans.
September 3rd, 2011 at 3:57 AM ^
The kid's probably 17. Perhaps he shouldn't be held to the same standard as people older and wiser than he is.
September 3rd, 2011 at 8:22 AM ^
I'm just wondering if the standard we hold kids to includes basic math: 4 years eligibility - 1 year of playing time = 3 years eligibility. To his credit, there is the possibility Braxton redshirts this year.
I'm guessing he just got lost in the moment intimidating high school kids half his size. Let's hope that Hoke instills a little humility.

I suspect that Godin's taunt was focused primarily on his own 4 years of eligibility and harrassing OSU's quarterbacks during that time, whether it will literally be Braxton Miller or not. Intimidation frequently requires concise poetic license more than bloviating exactitude.

Well said

I bet you got a real emmaculate lawn don't you?

September 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 AM ^
with the whole misspelling thing. For your sake I hope not, since you've failed miserably as well.
September 3rd, 2011 at 9:09 AM ^
Don't bother. If he changed the e to i, he would feel "imasculated."
September 3rd, 2011 at 8:04 AM ^
i agree. tht wld mean he starts as true frosh wont happen

"I like the confidence, but it's pretty lame to say that to the fans."
I would generally agree except that we don't know the context in which he said it. Given my experience with Ohio fans, I wouldn't put it past them to have said something (lacking creativity yet annoying) first. I have no problem with giving better than you get.

I like turtles?

i live in delphos but i couldnt go because i had to work. would of loved to see the game though sounded like it was good.
September 3rd, 2011 at 3:28 AM ^
Ya they won 14-7. www.wosn.tv is a good place to see all the scores from NW Ohio
September 3rd, 2011 at 3:25 AM ^
Delphos is normally a great team too. Seems like either them or Coldwater win the conference every year and then go on to State. DSJ is 0-2 this year so far. Two weeks in a row they have had to play a team with D-I prospects on it. Last week they lost by 7 to LCC and Tyler O'Conner. This week they lose by 7 to Godin and company.

just by their attitude and swagger to our rivals have been priceless from his mom who told off spartan fan when he committed and now Matt preaching what he is going to do against the buckeyes gotta love this family.
September 3rd, 2011 at 8:23 AM ^
I like the comment, the kid has swagger and we need that at Michigan
September 3rd, 2011 at 10:14 AM ^
st johns has been good the last 3 years with winning 2 out of 3 state titles and could of easily been 3 but lost on last drive of the one. also they have lost alot of talent from the last three championship runs on both sides of the football and are younger then what they have been.
September 3rd, 2011 at 10:15 AM ^
Confidence is very sexy! As long as he backs the talk up, more power to him!
Go Blue!

Proud Shamrock and Wolverine alumnus. Love seeing the developing pipeline between the two schools and have always wondered why it didn't happen sooner. CC just produces hard nosed winning football players, particularly linemen.
