UofM Running back has car stolen, cops can't find it!

[tophercrowder]

Couple of things here...
Take the camo wrap off BEFORE it gets stolen.
and
I wish my parents bought me a new Camaro when I got into college. It's just that I hope it wasn't a kick back thank you from UofM for signing up with them....just saying.

@tophercrowder Interesting choice of cars to steal. It totally blends in and you'd never look twice.

[pos_camaro]

@tophercrowder Sweet NIL money, no doubt.

[davesaddiction]

@tophercrowder

God bless whoever stole it.

Interesting take.

Good on him to express empathy instead of a desire for revenge, I guess...

[nickhasanexocet]

@davesaddiction Unless he accidentally drove it into a river and doesn't want mom & dad to come down hard on him

[tophercrowder]

@nickhasanexocet or sold it to pay for books

@tophercrowder

Probably in a snowbank somewhere.
They'll find it come springtime...

Every time I hear "UofM"...

[Vondon302]

@tophercrowder I don't know how but I blame Ohio State.

@tophercrowder

What @pos_camaro said. This is NIL money.

[ibRAD]

@ttyymmnn According to the article it was mom and dad's money.

[ttyymmnn]

@ibRAD

Well, then maybe I should read the article.....

My next entirely unfounded claim will be that the parents got the money from an unnamed UM booster.

Not that unusual. I knew guys that played ball in college whose parents bought them a car for saving them the price of tuition.

unnamed UM booster.

I remember in the late 80s there was a UofM booster who 'hired' players at his dealership and allowed them to 'borrow' Corvettes.
It's a great gig if you are a C+ student.

Bout fuckin time!

[amoore100]

@ttyymmnn I mean, he's probably there on a big 'ol scholarship and that's what my parents did with their "college savings for the kids" once both my brother and I got our undergrad scholarships, though for us it was decade old Volvo wagons so maybe a touch less flashy than a camo Camaro

[ForSweden]

You want to feel sorry for the guy, but he is a Wolverine, so you feel conflicted

[ranwhenparked]

@amoore100 My parents were so happy for my brother finally going to community college in his late 20s that they bought him a Genesis. Then he dropped out and also quit his job at the supermarket.

That is called pulling a 'Peter Gabriel'

[pyroholtz]

@tophercrowder Pretty sure that windshield is tinted and people who do that can go pound sand, idiots!

Well, he could be a Boilermaker. Or worse, a Buckeye.

Yep, given to the parents by the boosters who recruited him

Sorry to be salty, but coming from a large SEC school, the shenanigans were a very loosely guarded secret, even 25 years ago. I had female friends who once worked as recruiters/hostesses and...well....ewwww.
