Pump it TF up!
December 30th, 2021 at 5:37 PM ^
Great news to hear!
December 30th, 2021 at 5:38 PM ^
Covid tried to edge Dax Hill, how’d that work out for you?
December 30th, 2021 at 5:43 PM ^
This...is a fuckin' relief, people. We really need #30 on their TE.
December 30th, 2021 at 5:49 PM ^
More than anything, I'm just glad we seem to be at full strength and have all of our players available in good health. Dax is the leader of that secondary and his presence alone is great for morale. He's also excellent at football.
December 30th, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
Excellent at football. Interesting interpretation
December 30th, 2021 at 5:48 PM ^
Look at you, Mr. Brightside! You know you have to pump this up!
December 30th, 2021 at 5:50 PM ^
He may or may not be in Miami, he just might be in Miami Gardens!
December 30th, 2021 at 5:55 PM ^
Fuck yes.
December 30th, 2021 at 6:01 PM ^
The Angel at The News also confirming - he's with the team, and expected to play
December 30th, 2021 at 6:03 PM ^
This news pleases me and I have awarded you one upvote!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:05 PM ^
I feel like the Michigan media and coaches have known this is the case for a few days, but have just been playing dumb in order to get a competitive advantage. Regardless, this is a huge development and we'll need him to stop Bowers
December 30th, 2021 at 9:54 PM ^
Totally agree, Michigan controlled the narrative in the media - with a story that would appear negative only to flip and give the team/fanbase a boost. Sold some ESPN clicks as the #1 sidebar story on my homepage all day.
Leaders and the best

Harbaugh: "Dax is working through some things."
Media: "Can you be more specific?"
Harbaugh: "OK, if you insist. The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 entered Dax's nasal passage airway at a substantial but unknown load, bound to the putative ACE-2 receptor on a nasal epithelial cell thus inducing a conformational change in the inactive viral spike glycoprotein resulting in the furin cleavage site mediating binding to the cell membrane and viral cell entry.
Though the infected cells are replicating the viral genome at a rapid rate, Dax has a substantial number of pre-existing SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-specific long-term memory B and T cells thanks to being vaccinated and further has a high number of circulating effector cells, including plasma B-cells secreting potent neutralizing antibodies, thanks to recently being boosted.
Those antibodies are binding free viral particles and preventing spread from cell to cell while antigen presenting cells in the mucosa are presenting vaccine-derived helper T-cells with small 13-18 amino acid peptides of viral proteins presented in the context of MHC Class II molecules to trigger activation of further T-cell dependent B-cell activation and Cytotoxic T-cell recruitment and activation, which recognize and lyse infected cells after recognition of 8-10 viral amino acid peptide sequences in the context of MHC Class I molecules on the infected cell surface.
The combination of neutralizing antibody activity limiting cell-to-cell spread and cytotoxic T-cell effector response resulting in the targeting killing of infected cells is expected to prevent the progression of the infection to a clinically symptomatic state."
Media: "Guh?"
Harbaugh: "He's working through some things."
December 30th, 2021 at 6:09 PM ^
Thank you for this!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:19 PM ^
I came. Twice.
December 30th, 2021 at 9:27 PM ^
You been off-planet Joe?
December 30th, 2021 at 6:42 PM ^
Sopwith - only you could write this, and a punchline, too. +1
December 30th, 2021 at 9:19 PM ^
Wow! Slow clap ?
December 30th, 2021 at 9:57 PM ^
That 3rd paragraph is a doozy!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:11 PM ^
This is going to give the team a big emotional lift at just the right time.
PUMP IT UP!!!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:16 PM ^
GREAT NEWS!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:20 PM ^
YTM or NTM?!?!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:21 PM ^
Daniel Larusso’s gonna fight?!?!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:29 PM ^
YES!!!!!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
I took a little afternoon nap, because I can, and I woke up to this most pleasant news.
Let's go do this!
December 30th, 2021 at 6:49 PM ^
Whole milk and steak work every time.
December 30th, 2021 at 7:52 PM ^
Driving home ESPNU radio said he had covid and would not play and was separated from the team. They were speculating Michigan may have a bigger COVID problem. They did not talk about the known UGA on going COVID problem. I'm glad Dax will be playing an the team is healthy.
December 30th, 2021 at 8:24 PM ^
There have been ZERO rumors of COVID issues within Michigan outside of Dax. Where is this coming from?
December 30th, 2021 at 9:52 PM ^
Talking head bozos, who ever was hosting that ESPNU radio show at 7 AM this morning. I got worried, so I checked the blog before my day sleep and nothing was posted about it.
December 30th, 2021 at 7:52 PM ^
Dax taking one to the house tomorrow.
December 30th, 2021 at 8:06 PM ^
Great. What we were all looking for. Thanks !
December 30th, 2021 at 8:17 PM ^
The stress of waiting for this game is killing me.
December 30th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
You just can’t look, it’s killing you?
Are they taking control?
December 30th, 2021 at 8:22 PM ^
Good for you guys. You’ll need him to stop their TEs. For some reason their TEs are the best unit on that offense.
December 30th, 2021 at 8:29 PM ^
Yeah it will be nice to have him tomorrow in the CFP semifinal game with a chance to get to the CFP championship. He has certainly helped this team beat OSU and win the B1G championship. Should be one of the better bowl matchups this season with a lot on the line. Go Blue!
December 30th, 2021 at 9:10 PM ^
More good news, MSU can't get out of its own way. 21-10 Pitt early in the 3rd.
I'm also incredibly thankful this broadcast crew is NOT on our game tomorrow. They talk like they're Homer Simpson who thinks he's William Shakespeare.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:00 PM ^
Pitt is letting sparty back into this game. When you have sparty down, you need to take a foot to their throats and finish them off. Looks a little bit like the comeback against Michigan, making 4th down plays.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:03 PM ^
per Nicole Auerbach
Michigan safety Dax Hill is now with the team in Miami on the eve of the Orange Bowl, source confirms to @TheAthletic.
About as official as it can get!
December 31st, 2021 at 9:38 AM ^
Excellent!
December 30th, 2021 at 10:04 PM ^
That sucks...
...for Georgia
December 31st, 2021 at 12:06 AM ^
He just landed.
December 31st, 2021 at 12:26 AM ^
I very much want this to be true. Go Blue!
December 31st, 2021 at 1:04 AM ^
I sense a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in excitement.
I sense something wonderful is about to happen..
