Michigan is doing well enough to push out knights? Damn, that's disappointing

From Tom Haverford's post in our Skunkbear topic:

sad thing is, there never is any back-lash if the coaches win.

Saban has done stuff like this. So has Meyer. Les Miles took it even a step further when he pulled the scholarship of an early enrollee to make room for a 5* recruit on signing day. Kid was at LSU enrolled then told sorry, you don't have a scholarship here anymore. Imagine that. Les should've been crucified for that, but nothing.

Alabama decommitments

Alabama decommitments

As has been noted, Riley Cole 3* decommitted on Jan 31 due to grayshirt offer. Cole committed in June. Cole had his OV to Alabama two weeks ago. He has signed with South Alabama.

Other Alabama decommits yesterday:

Joshua Perry, 3* DB, committed since May, decommitted yesterday. Perry has his OV to Alabama two weeks ago. He has signed with Memphis.

Brendan Scales, 3* TE, decommitted yesterday and signed with Missouri. He had his OV to Alabama two weeks ago, then set up an OV to Missouri. Father says Alabama offered his a grayshirt. Scales committed to Alabama last April.

That ov date two weeks ago was the plank walk

I can't comprehend how a HC can live with "gray shirting." It is utterly immoral, IMO.

FSU coach helped plan orchestrated recruit “flip” from Gators

 

[Bogtrotter07]

First, this is an awesome thread that provides a different view of recruiting. It should be mandatory reading for any fan of any school that bitches about their recruiting, except for Oregon. Their class truly does suck. And you can tell that self-fucking, pencil-necked con man masquerading as a journalist, I said so! Oh, and while you are talking to him, ask him how Blake Barnett is doing! Mu-ha-ha! #noquotesneeded

I can't comprehend how a HC can live with "gray shirting." It is utterly immoral, IMO.

Yes, that is true. But a big time school like Alabama, is so great and mighty that they can apply for and receive the corporation amorality exemption from sound ethical operation. Check the bylaws and see for yourself.

I am sure from their perspective, morality dictates that they operate for the greater good, and would be immoral, as well as downright un-American, and maybe a little pink-o around the edges, if they didn't do everything they could to bend the rules and get a sixth national championship is like nine years.

FSU coach helped plan orchestrated recruit “flip” from Gators

But apparently grey-shirting pales by comparison to deceptive recruiting. It wasn't what Florida State did to get this recruit, or what they intentionally did to their rivals UF, but the absolute cock sure way they admitted it. Almost with pride, as well as an air of total impunity!

Fuck State University! Fuck Criminoles. FSU where more than players are Criminoles!

 

[Quinntastic]

How is "decommitting" even a thing? Doesn't that go against the very definition of the word "commit" in the first place? Why would a player even be able to "commit" to a school if there is any possibility to go back and "decommit" later?

It does not compute.

When Rhode gets out of the psych ward, is he decommitted?

I thought this was interesting.

The short answer is commit is a noun. Being a noun it is a finite thing, completely and totally quantifiable. Therefore, it has a beginning and an end. The beginning is the act of committal. What else can the end be, other than a state of going from commitment to non-commitment. And, of course since commitment is a 'state,' there is of necessity an opposite state, naturally. So then how to name this shift between the state and its absence?

I did a little research. Commit is a noun with a meaning, to perpetrate or carry out [with an object,] or dedicated to, and finally to pledge or bind.

Commitment means :

Definition of commitment

1) a/an act of committing to a charge or trust: as (1) : a consignment to a penal or mental institution (2) : an act of referring a matter to a legislative committee

2) a/an agreement or pledge to do something in the future; especially : an engagement to assume a financial obligation at a future date

b : something pledged​

c : the state or an instance of being obligated or emotionally impelled​

adjective

1Not committed to a cause, activity, etc.
‘uncommitted voters’

And remember both recommit and recommitment are accepted grammar.

Now we come to recommitment :

1Commit again:
‘it should deter corporations from recommitting the same offence’

‘we must recommit ourselves to this important mission’

The problem is that each of the words related to commit are defined as nouns. So, if we want to change the language by 'verb-acide.' (impact comes to mind. It is another noun expressly that was popularized in use as an action, or verb. i.e., It impacted the bottom line.,) We see that commitment would be the best choice. It could be used as a noun without an object, properly, and with a 'de' could fill the role of a noun, adjective, or verb.

So 'decommitment' would be the act of changing the state of commitment. Sometimes we need new words, but they can follow the rules, too!

If commitment is a state and finite like existence or consciousness of existence, then decommitment is returning to the absence of that state while still existing. Decommitment returns the recruit to a transitive consciousness with the object of commitment. This second type of consciousness is seen more frequently in Michigan verbal commits as they become aware of the head coach's lack of conscienceness. This results in a new noun added to our vocabulary - Harbaughcide.

I believe 247 added "Decommitments" to their drop down boxes of Targets, Offers, Visits, Commits. That will make these easier to track. Michigan Decommits 2016

I like this logic so much, I will not disagree. I will refrain from pointing out that decomittment is not a state, as in it cannot be maintained, it is a temporary act; except you brought up the perfect exception to the rule. And it is so stunning and accurate, that I am in awe.

Your understanding and use of the totally fucked state of mind of anyone that would commit to that sack of cow pie filled testament Walmart ruining America, is brilliant! Reps, Master Legacy!

Oh, yeah -- and, FUCK MICHIGAN!

Like Miami, there was once a time when Michigan was probably the most hated team in America. With Jim Harbaugh in town, they could be on their way again.

Signee Spotlight: The story of Jordan Elliott's wild recruitment

To call Jordan Elliott’s recruitment a roller coaster would be an understatement.

In fact, by the end of it, Elliott’s mom, Tamara Dean, labeled the process a “nightmare” and called it “one big saga.” Elliott, an elite defensive tackle from Houston Westside, had 40 offers for football, and by National Signing Day he’d committed to nearly half the schools. OK, not quite, but Elliott did pledge to four different programs on five different occasions.

If Beal were to re-commit, would it still count against us or get wiped out?

Better yet. If Beal were to recommit and then decommit again, would it count as two decommitments? Just asking.

A P5 win on the road is always good. A win over a blueblood on the road is better. Covering against a blueblood on the road when your expected to and need it to keep the talking heads and selection committee happy is sadly a must. It's best if the Irish cover but don't think for a second that this game isn't circled after last year's Malikapalooza in South Bend.

I think it would be more of a game if we were playing them in the middle of the season. I don't see it being another blow out game like last year, but ND will get a W in Austin.
