An Open Letter to Steven Threet: Say It Isn't So!

Dear Steve,

In the last few days, some quite disturbing news has come up regarding you, and it is depressing news to hear.

So I just have to ask this...

Say it isn't so?!

Of all things. After all you have gone through at Michigan, you are wanting to do the unthinkable...and TRANSFER!...again?

I know you haven't exactly decided yet, but I know you are contemplating it. All I have to say is there is nothing to think about. Michigan is where you belong.

Yeah, Michigan picked up Denard Robinson and Tate Forcier, but as far as I'm concerned, it is still your job to lose. Leaving is quitting, and I know you are not a quitter, Steve. Stick it out and win what belongs to you.

So some fans don't care for you, so what? You have amazing potential, but not many see it. I do, though.

You have the heart and moxie of a champion, and you are what Michigan needs at QB. You are a leader to the fullest extent of the meaning.

Give yourself the chance to succeed and stay.

If you are indeed considering the unthinkable, think of this. There is life outside of football. Life which will require a degree.

With a football career that has a questionable NFL shot, you should focus on academics. You won't find much better than Michigan. Plus, it is so close to your home of Adrian, Mich.

All I'm saying...no, pleading...is that you MUST stay. We need you, Michigan NEEDS you. If you want to leave, then reconsider and stay.

If you leave, then best of luck and you will be sorely missed. I wish you the best, but stay true to the blue. That is all I ask.

Sincerely,

Your truest fan. Go Blue!
