UM/Wisconsin should’ve played the game on Tuesday. Nice going Harbaugh.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
If true, don't worry. We have Shea Patterson
September 18th, 2019 at 4:16 PM ^
I detect sarcasm but I was coming here to say that in earnest. Let’s throw the ball for a little pitch and catch.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
Agreed. I don’t know if this is the ideal situation, but being forced to throw the ball may be a very good thing. Especially if DPJ plays.
September 18th, 2019 at 6:08 PM ^
Michigan still has 5 running backs other than ZC. Plus Barrett has worked with the offense and can play running back. Plus Dax Hill can play running back in a pinch. One thing this team has shown with Harbaugh is they will never be “forced to throw.” They’ll run the ball if they feel like, even if they lose 5 more running backs.
September 18th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
You're right. Michigan does have five other running backs but the fact that ZC got over 30 carries against Army speaks volumes about how much better he is than the other backs. Quantity does not equal quality in this case.
September 18th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
We don't know if Tru will be back for Saturday and Turner is coming off of concussion protocol. BVS is not a RB and we have no idea if Haskins is either as both were moved to D last year. Do you think they would have been moved back to O if we would have had more than two scholarship RBs for spring ball? This is making moving Mason to the DL where he is undersized and inexperienced look like a bad idea.
September 18th, 2019 at 6:18 PM ^
Have you watched Shea play QB ?

Rumor propagated by an osu dickhead on Twitter. Calm down until you hear something from someone who actually knows.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:16 PM ^
What worries me is that someone actually in the know hasn’t shot it down yet.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
It would get tiring to shoot down every Internet rumor.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
In that case:
The latest rumor floating around is that Mgoblog user McSomething has been named Head Coach in waiting for the University of Michigan football program. When reached for comment his response was simply "oh, cool."
Michigan's Athletic Department has not been reached for comment at this time.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:35 PM ^
I'm not McRGard, I'm RGard and no, it's the other 'football' program at Michigan.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
I mean, it's bullshit that adults need to speculate on the health of unpaid college athletes and then for said unpaid college athletes to have their medical status broadcasted publicly again because someone may or may not have made something up. We all just sort of accept that as part of college football, but it's crazy that multiple people will likely have to comment on a teenager's health.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
Original source of rumor was banned from both Bucknuts & 11Warriors for being a Yoder like troll.
Also, Rivals site looked into it and saying “very very unlikely”.
Based on those, I’d step back from the ledge until we get a definitive report from Sam Webb from 247 or MGoBlog.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
A dickhead who isn’t scared to report without the programs blessing. Same guy broke the Chris Evans story. Wake up
September 18th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
If you choose to believe Yoder—even after the fact that he was ripped to shreds by Dave Ablauf—you’re just choosing ignorance.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:45 PM ^
Yoder didn’t break this you dolt. An OSU guy named Lamb did. Oh and the guy works for rivals. When the Michigan lemmings confirm it you can admit you’re wrong.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
Even though this same idiot was blocked by HIS OWN TEAM'S SITES. Ok.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:51 PM ^
Even though this same idiot was blocked by HIS OWN TEAM'S SITES. Ok.
I mentioned Yoder because you defended him in the past, btw.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:37 PM ^
Yoder scours the internet looking for rumors, steals most of them and reports it as news from "sources". 99.9% of the time he's full of shit and like .1% of the time he steals a rumor that is true.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
You forgot "sheeple"

Saying osu dickhead is like saying ATM machine
September 18th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
My understanding is that is originated from a shaky (at best) source which was covered in the OL health post below.
Hopefully this is all smoke.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
This was debunked on another thread, Kyle Lamb has been banned from several OSU fan sites including bucknuts and 11 warriors. Totally Bogus.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
Has not been debunked only questioned if it’s legitimate. Jury is still out on this one.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
I heard Harbaugh has a reptilian tail and that's actually the source of his coaching problems and why he can't beat a team when he's an underdog. It hasn't been debunked, but only questioned if it's a legit rumor. Jury is still out on the veracity of tail rumor.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:36 PM ^
Unfortunately you are right. I posted it originally in that other thread because I did not think a rumor coming from a questionable OSU source deserved its own topic. It was a strange tweet in how specific it was, and the "unfinished work" part seems completely fabricated.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
He works for rivals.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
Maybe he was banned for speaking the truth that the Establishment cant tolerate?
September 18th, 2019 at 4:12 PM ^
Thank you, BPONE, may I have another?
September 18th, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
Gregg Henson says it's not true and is playing Saturday..
September 18th, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
Well shit. Looks like he's out for the year then
September 18th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
Damnit :(
September 18th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Man, I'm telling you, it better not be that spot that was scoped earlier this year. If it is, Jim Harbaugh will be under real criticism for playing him so much. 33 carries is too much. Jim Harbaugh will be in real hot water if is in the same spot that was scoped. There will be serious, valid criticism that he didn't protect a young player.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
Seeing the exact opposite -- he tweeted "He's hurt."
September 18th, 2019 at 4:16 PM ^
If this is rumor has been "debunked" any chance Moms could nuke the thread?
September 18th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
It hasn’t been debunked by anyone credible, but luckily hasn’t been rumored by someone credible either
September 18th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
I'll ask, but she's not very computer savy
September 18th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
Why, so someone else can start the exact same thread because they didn't know it had already been posted?
September 18th, 2019 at 4:22 PM ^
Win regardless. Fuck BPONE
September 18th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
I don't see the point of this except that maybe Dillon just beats up on some of the worst defenses in college football and is otherwise barely above replacement level. Which isn't true, but this screenshot isn't really moving the needle for me.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
And it's not like Michigan processed Dillon. We wanted him in the class and was going to give him a shot at RB. Dillon wanted to be the only RB and guaranteed, and that is why despite his success, BC is still terrible. Addazio may even get fired this year.
We needed to take multiple RBs that year. It's the Kurt Taylor scholarship and recruitment that was more problematic.
September 18th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
Yeah, the idea that Michigan passed on Dillon is one of those weird revisionist history claims that props up when people want to complain. Michigan screwed up recruiting RBs that class, but at the same time they probably would have been fine without a couple of guys getting hurt/flaming out/academic issues.
