****Gibbons thanked the coaching staff for their support, and he specifically thanked Hoke for giving him an opportunity to kick despite on-field issues early in his career under former coach Rich Rodriguez. Hoke became head coach in 2011.

“I’d like to thank coach Hoke for giving me the opportunity to kick here after my struggles and believing in me and for Team 134 (the Michigan 2013 team) for having my back ever since I’ve been here,” Gibbons said at the banquet.****

Gee, sounds like support to me. Especially that part where Gibbons thanked the coaching staff for their support. You're welcome, Brendan!

Banquet speeches aside, playing the kid despite knowledge of his sexual assault was an implicit sign of support from the staff/university.

I know your distorted self-image leads you to believe otherwise but you are STILL a troll. But please continue to cry about others trolling. The lack of awareness is really funny.

I didn't see an outright "refusal". You popped shit and then Guru popped shit back about an issue that's current and far more important than some prediction made a year ago.

And there's nothing extraneous about it. A rape cover-up is relevant and interesting. 2 things that the on-field football program for michigan is not. For a guy that blogged about free tattoos like it was his part-time job, you'd think you'd get it. But apparently not.

Yes, because bumping up a year old thread to type out "LOL" 20 times really added a new level of thought provoking complexity to this board.

I must have been asleep for the "golden era" of okp when this board operated as a formal, university style debate competition. I'm not sure what deluded fantasy you've concocted but this place is the same as it's always been...a sports message board where people talk shit all day. Get over it.
