Nah, this means that the "Open War" from that batshit crazy post...was successful!
December 5th, 2022 at 9:07 PM ^
Damn. Only two weeks from being the crazed manifesto of a middle-aged single loser whose social media profile pics are *DEFINITELY NOT* him giving a thumbs-up while awkwardly posing with an uncomfortable female sports bar server 25-40 years his junior and without a choice in the matter, composed while he was drunk enough for it to make it past his internal "Yeah but SHOULD I type this whole long-ass shit and then ACTUALLY post it publicly?" censor, to being put into action. And against the most sophisticated network of university-paid undercover system manipulators anyone has known since, uh...the last time RCMB was angry and Busch Light was on sale.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:03 PM ^
Not surprised due to his injury.
Stetson Bennett though, lol.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:06 PM ^
IVth time's the charm
December 5th, 2022 at 7:08 PM ^
Olu got snubbed.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:14 PM ^
Olu's a finalist.
December 6th, 2022 at 5:28 AM ^
As he should be... shortly before winning in a commanding fashion for his otherwordly contributions imo
December 5th, 2022 at 7:08 PM ^
Three CFP QBs. Only JJ was left out. MOAR snubbery!
December 5th, 2022 at 7:09 PM ^
Also no Rod Moore. :(
December 5th, 2022 at 11:26 PM ^
JJ will get his revenge next year
December 5th, 2022 at 7:11 PM ^
Damn. I was afraid of that. One more game probably would have gotten him in.
Sorry for him, sorry for the program's prestige.
Fortunately, he seems very grounded—get well soon, Corum—and the program's got plenty of prestige.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:13 PM ^
I hope Bennett or Duggan wins it…
December 5th, 2022 at 10:43 PM ^
Interesting
December 5th, 2022 at 7:14 PM ^
Not too surprised TBH. He went down and then Edwards ran for 400 yds in 2 games.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:17 PM ^
Voters for football awards are like the dog in Up, distracted by the latest "Squirrel!"
If Corum hadn't gotten hurt, they would have ignored the importance of an O line.
Now that he's hurt and a different running back does great things, they decide it's because of the O line.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:19 PM ^
Squirrel!!!!
December 5th, 2022 at 7:14 PM ^
Duggan gets my vote
December 5th, 2022 at 7:39 PM ^
andy dalton with a playoff berth.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:18 PM ^
As much as I love BC, what Edwards has done since he went down I think had a big impact on him getting invited. All 4 of the qbs gondown and their team is screwed. We thrashed Ohio and beat Purdue by 3 scores without our guy
December 5th, 2022 at 7:27 PM ^
Is that true for Stetson Bennett? Or is this like a lifetime achievement for him?
December 5th, 2022 at 7:28 PM ^
Corum's absence might be felt in the next couple of games. With all due respect to the budding star D. Edwards is right now, the ability to grind 4-5-6 yards a carry and sustain drives is crucial. Edwards is a home run hitter for sure but when you're up by 3 or 7 and looking to ice the game against the best of the CFB world, that guy will be missed. Or Edwards just goes off for 75 yard TDs which is also cool.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:41 PM ^
Of course he will be missed. But last year Haskins was the grinder and Blake was the home run hitter. Just because someone doesn’t play a role doesn’t mean they can’t. Let’s see Edwards without a cast.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:22 PM ^
*fart noise*
December 5th, 2022 at 7:28 PM ^
Okay I get the injury aspect but like... Stetson Bennett?! Seriously?
December 5th, 2022 at 7:30 PM ^
If Blake had been the Michigan back to run for 200 yds. and two TDs against OSU, he'd be the winner. Still, he has better stats than previous RB winners, though missing 2 1/2 games.
I'm surprised that Zach Charbonnet didn't get in the mix: 195 attempts, 1,359 yds., 14 TDs, and a whopping 7.0 yds. per carry.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:36 PM ^
Shhhhhh he needs a reason to come back. This might be it.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:38 PM ^
Super star running back gets snubbed for missing the OSU game with injuries. Walker last year, Corum this year.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:38 PM ^
nothing like inviting a 25-year-old mediocrity in his spot.
(edited to remove a pejorative)
December 5th, 2022 at 7:41 PM ^
It's obviously disappointing that Corum didn't make it. Among full-season players I think Cam Rising got snubbed because I'd take him over any of these guys:
- Bennett (a game manager surrounded by five-stars)
- Stroud (a system QB surrounded by five-stars)
- Duggan (Rising with better weapons)
Williams is going to win it, so whatever, but Rising beat him twice and actually won a championship.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:48 PM ^
He was a long shot even before getting injured. The only two RB winners were from Bama - I'm excluding Bush since his award was vacated, but it's three if you include him.
The good news is that we got to see The Don step up and show us what we can expect in the Playoffs and 2023.
If Blake had had the same two kinds of performances that The Don had, he'd probably make the finals but still not win.
Caleb has the inside track - even with the F. U. fingernails which JH would never have allowed his QB to ever do.
Bennett probably took some votes that would have gone to Corum and perhaps Stroud would have lost MW votes.
Just hope Blake is healthy for the spring camp on campus.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:53 PM ^
I know you know that Reggie Bush played for USC……right? He definitely did not play for Bama
December 5th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
Not to mention way more than three RB's have won the award. It really wasn't until 2000 that QB's started to dominate the award, before that it was RB's. There have been 38 running backs and 3 fullbacks to win a Heisman along with 38 quarterbacks with 18 of them coming since 2000.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:21 PM ^
Blake is going to the NFL most likely.
December 5th, 2022 at 7:49 PM ^
Yummy rat poison for Michigan
December 5th, 2022 at 7:52 PM ^
I stopped caring when Gino Torretta beat out Marshall Faulk
December 5th, 2022 at 7:54 PM ^
Hooker has more reason to be pissed IMO. I'm sorry, but once Edwards blew up against OSU and Purdue, it took some of the shine off Blake's great season.
But it's so tough for an RB to win. Still, if I had to draft an RB, give me Bijan Robinson.
December 5th, 2022 at 8:32 PM ^
Everyone thought Leonard Fournette was gonna be hof bound. He's been good but not great.
Running backs really just are hard to predict at the next level.
December 6th, 2022 at 7:38 AM ^
Fournette has trouble staying healthy. Damn shame.
December 5th, 2022 at 8:01 PM ^
Ridiculous. Clown show committee of the clueless. Guess I won't watch this year now.
December 5th, 2022 at 8:28 PM ^
I feel like this group is what you would expect from sports media of a bygone age - regionally biased and uncreative. I won't argue that they don't deserve to be there but it is too convenient to vote 4 QBs from the top teams.
December 5th, 2022 at 8:28 PM ^
That is BS
December 5th, 2022 at 8:29 PM ^
Let's hope Stetson wins it. Comes into the final arrogant. And then gets what's coming ... THE WOLVERINE
December 5th, 2022 at 8:30 PM ^
He couldn’t help himself.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:04 PM ^
Penix definitely over Stetson.
December 5th, 2022 at 10:47 PM ^
No Penix and no Hooker? Whatevs...
December 5th, 2022 at 8:30 PM ^
ESPN cares so much about this, here's the article.. Stellar Heisman class... Here's some Bruins highlights.
December 5th, 2022 at 8:32 PM ^
It’s a weird trophy. If you have a guy on your team nominated, you obviously want him to win the Heisman. It gives a sense of pride to the program. Especially a guy like Corum who deserves it both on the field and off. On the other hand the Heisman is a pretty mediocre award at this point in its history.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:02 PM ^
At this point just name it the Heisman quarterback award. It's really frustrating that year in and year out, that's what it is.
December 5th, 2022 at 9:19 PM ^
Wait, did they snub Kenneth Walker III AGAIN???
