Stonum Caught Driving on Revoked License

[jonesman]

I am already tired of UM fans dreaming of Hoke being the next Bo. They got where they did last year for ONE reason, DENARD!!! The D improved marginal which is expected when you get rid of that nutty 3-3-5 crap.

UM lost to MSU, did not play Wisconsin, beat a pitiful PSU, almost lost to a pathetic OSU and then had a BCS game handed to them by a knucklehead Beamer.

I am still asking myself what was going thru Beamer's head with that fake punt. Can you say brain lock!!

As much as it hurts me to say this, the defensive improvement was just a bit better than marginal.

i would readily admit that the schedule was not particularly strong. however, calling the changes in the defense marginal is to fail to understand how historically bad they were the previous year with esentially the same personnel.

you cant blame us for seeing good things ahead when they actually have some more legitimate talent on that side of the ball.

note to self: i am ok staying off topic to say good things about UM

I don't begrudge scUM fans their happiness. If ND had experienced the same season as they did, first of all the level of hate towardsND would skyrocket, and I'd love every second of it. scUM only has ND, osu, and msu fans hating on them. Everyone hates ND. I would be worried about the future, considering the imbalance of luck, but i would be ecstatic about the season. In conclusion, I'm jealous about michigan's recent success, but if we lose to those chodenuggets next season, I'll be forced to do something drastic.

FWIW here is the press release:

University of Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke announced on Tuesday (Jan. 17) that wide receiver Darryl Stonum has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules.

"I love Darryl and wish him nothing but the absolute best," Hoke said. "However, there is a responsibility and a higher standard you must be accountable to as a University of Michigan football student-athlete. That does not and will not change. It's unfortunate because I believe he has grown a great deal as a person since the beginning of the season. My hope is that maturing process continues."

Stonum started 25 of 36 career games at U-M, catching 76 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns. He also returned 62 kickoffs for 1,538 yards and holds the single-season kickoff return mark with 39 returns for 1,001 yards in 2009. Stonum redshirted in 2011.

"I appreciate everything the University of Michigan, Dave Brandon and Coach Hoke have done for me," said Stonum. "I look forward to continuing my football career down the road, but more importantly, right now I'm focused on graduating from Michigan this Spring. I understand only I am responsible for my actions. I'm sad about how all of this turned out, but I completely understand. I love this school and my team and will miss them all greatly. But I'll always be a Wolverine. I know I have grown and matured as a person over the last nine months, and I will continue to learn and grow every day. I want to thank everyone for all of their support, and I hope they will support me in the future."
