Senior Bowl Open Thread

It would be nice if Brady shows up for the game to wish them well. While he was not the best coach, he did recruit these guys to Michigan.

And it is not Hoke...otherwise I agree with you.

Our guys on the North Team.  [Apologies for the funky formatting in transfer; those aren't really links.]

Offense:

82 Amara Darboh WR 6-2 215

68 Kyle Kalis OG 6-4 308

44 De'Veon Smith RB 5-11 220  

Defense:

96 Ryan Glasgow DT 6-3 299

42 Ben Gedeon ILB 6-2 243  

26 Jourdan Lewis DC 5-10 188  

43 Chris Wormley DE  6-5 297

 

 

I believe Gedeon just forced a fumble.

This Zay Jones guy has been getting lots of hype.

Wormley and Glasgow both starting for north

nice! also kalis holding his own.

there was a lot of dust.

Best of luck to Deveon.

Love the effort from De'Veon Smith, first pushing the linman who had the ball to get som yards the great tackle on punt returner.

1 (Mayock): Who made that tackle?

2: De'Veon Smith. It was a Michigan helmet.

1: How many Michigan guys are here?

2: Seven

3: (cutting off announcer #2) All of them.

2: All the others were in the East/West (Shrine Game).

Nice swim slam by Wormley. Well shit...if you're going to try to hold him...

WD - can we get a Michigan highlight reel of this game? I'm working

CJ Beathard is awful. I can't believe we lost to that team.

We should have had ONE of those three games. If not more. So frustrating.

I hate that so many of our fans act like this was a lost season or that the team somehow shit the bed... College football is a cruel mistress where perfection is almost demanded to win it all, or some VERY fortunate breaks along the way. This team did great things and I think they only helped to make UofM a more attractive destination for big time recruits and future champions. #1 defense in all of the land, and that was NOT opponent dependent. Sent a primarily defensive player to New York as a Heisman Finalist. Multiple All Americans and All Big Ten honors. Got over the hump against a major rival on the road, I don't care how awful their season was, as they didn't care how bad we were when they were dominating the rivalry. Yes, they lost 3 of the last 4... By a combined 5 points. All 3 games were on the road basically in tough environments against good to great teams (Iowa, is good, not great). We were also very unfortunate on the injury and lucky break side of things ; bounces, fluke plays, questionable calls... But they were good enough to still be in all of those games. They didn't have a ton of injuries, but they were at the most crucial positions/worst time (LT, QB vs Iowa/OSU, best player in the bowl game against the most talented team we played all year, All World TE that opens things up for everyone around him including himself). Clemson won it all and they were a 3-4 loss team in disguise. The breaks just happened to go their way. 3 missed FGs by NC St, ball calls against FSU, no flag thrown on a borderline pick play to win the game, or the opposing teams coach didn't have the wherewithal to have his team just commit holding penalties on D to force an untimed FG to send it to OT.

I'm so fuckin proud of these kids for the season they played. It's just year 2 and coming in I think the consensus was that it usually takes Harbaugh til year 3 to generate the type of team that stays in the playoff/NY6/top 5-10 conversation the entire season. Now we're losing a ton of experience to the NFL. Potentially 20+ kids will find their way onto an NFL roster in the offseason... And I say GREAT!!! What better way to attract the best HS talent around the country??? That's exactly why Alabama has an embarrassment of 4-5* riches, because whether or not the kids get gobs of playing time, they know they are basically being prepared for the next level while being part of something special. HAIL. Go Blue! & in Jim WE Trust!!!!
