Aubrey Solomon right knee surgery?
Just saw this on instagram from a Michigan fan account and cannot confirm the validity of this, but according to Aubrey Solomon's snapchat story he had surgery on his right knee. No official word yet.
Big loss for D-Line if true

Shit.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^
Don’t spread rumors.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:16 PM ^
Not a rumor, although it looked like surgery is on foot.
also, this is the exact place to share news you’ve heard and see if there’s legitimacy (as long as it’s not a personal attack and within reason). Stop attacking the dude for asking a legitimate question that impacts the team greatly...
September 8th, 2018 at 7:54 AM ^
nice handle.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
Maybe if the Jimmy God would share important info like this with the fans, people wouldn't have to perform Twitter forensics to find out an important player had surgery.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
Twitter forensics have predicted six of the last three serious Michigan football injuries.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
Maybe you should go back to 11 Warriors.
September 8th, 2018 at 12:43 AM ^
This isn't the NFL... You want him violating students' medical privacy rights?
September 8th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
It’s not a matter of National Security...it’s a football injury. It OK to talk about it. It would be kind of obvious when he’s in street clothes and not playing.
September 8th, 2018 at 1:42 AM ^
You really are a moron.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
That’s unfortunate
September 8th, 2018 at 2:11 AM ^
No, Don Brown shaving his mustache crooked is unfortunate. This is a disaster.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
My biggest concern this year was offensive line. My next concern was replacing Mo Hurst. He was Aaron Donald for us. Even if we returned 10 of 11 starters, it's hard to imagine the same level of defense without that guy. It's going to be damn near impossible if Solomon is also out, and Dwumfor is indeed way overhyped.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Couldn't agree more.
Also, good teams are starting to figure out how to attack Don browns defense. Similar to what happened with Urban Meyers gimicky offenses... They worked like a charm when he first got to OSU but over the course of a few seasons the better teams figured out how to defend it (they never would have won a title had barrett not gotten injured in The Game because it forced Meyer to change up the offense to better suit Jones). Brown is going to have to adapt in order to continue the level of success he has had over his first few years in Ann arbor.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:43 PM ^
It's not like Don Brown's defense was some sort of big mystery. It's complex and it's aggressive and it's hard to attack. But all defenses have vulnerabilities; the question is whether or not those vulnerabilities can be exploited.
Literally every defense in football has bad games. Clemson had an amazing defense last year and they got absolutely rocked by Syracuse of all teams. Bama pitches a bad game or two every season. And in the NFL, even uber-genius Bill Belichek can get carved up by superstars like... uh, Nick Foles.
Nothing's changed with Brown or other teams. It's hard to succeed. It's not impossible.
(btw, who is "Jones?")
September 7th, 2018 at 10:57 PM ^
Mr. OSU Fan is talking about Cardale Jones.
September 7th, 2018 at 11:18 PM ^
Missed that, good point.
September 7th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
If your players aren’t very good at man to man in Brown’s defense it’s actually relatively easy to attack, at least for a good team (not necessarily saying that’s the case for us).
Yes every team has vulnerabilities and bad games but there’s levels to it.
And I believe he’s referring to Cardale.
September 8th, 2018 at 12:20 AM ^
Cover 3 zone with aggression on third and long will really make defense scary.
September 8th, 2018 at 1:55 AM ^
Man coverage is complex?
September 8th, 2018 at 8:19 AM ^
OSU would not have beaten Oregon in the championship game is they didn't loose no less than seven (7) receivers (wideouts and tight ends) in the last four games of the season due to suspension and injury. In the fourth quarter of the championship game they were running plays with two running backs lined up as wide outs. It is hard to win a championship when your offensive playbook has been simplified for sustitutes.
Much has been made about OSU winning the game but few seem to mention why Oregon lost the game.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:16 PM ^
Wait.. he just had it now? Or he had it over the summer? I’m so confused.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
Fuck. Guess I'm getting high tonight after all.
September 8th, 2018 at 12:20 AM ^
When i imagine you high, i imagine the Steve Buscemi Mad Hatter from the SNL skit.
September 8th, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
Why wait until tonight?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Hope hes doing ok. Here is to quick and healthy recovery.
Next man up. At worst medical redshirt. Injuries happen.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
If true, this is not your average “next man up” situation. This would be a massive loss. I have maintained a positive outlook until now, but that would change things. I really hope this isn’t true. For him. For the team big time.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:05 PM ^
No, it isn’t. UM has plenty of talent along the DL. If any position can take an injury it’s the DL. It is a loss, but not one that will derail the season.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
Seriously? Marshall started at DT last week.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
And was completely ineffective. Solomon was beasting up at the end of last year. He probably didn’t play a lot because of this injury, and consequently we got nothing from our interior line. I apparently think this is a much more significant development than most. Between the Black injury and this one, I think this would be measurably more damaging.
September 7th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
ND has an excellent interior line. They ran the ball 47 times for 132 yards. That’s 2.8 yards per carry.
Interior DL did just fine vs run.
September 8th, 2018 at 1:45 AM ^
Outside of offensive tackle, Michigan's greatest weakness is defensive tackle.
September 8th, 2018 at 8:53 AM ^
It’s an unknown.
September 8th, 2018 at 2:13 AM ^
Um, yes it will.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Injury bug continues to haunt this team. Damn
September 7th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
Fuck Michigan?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:26 PM ^
Its one of those 3 week recovery kind of surgeries right?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:28 PM ^
I saw this on Instagram just now, as well. Said it was seen on Aubrey’s Snapchat.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
I just saw him in the dining hall yesterday and don't recall him wearing and boot or brace. And he was walking so it would seem the injury was pretty minor.
September 7th, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
So he had a mole removed from his toe. Right? RIGHT?!?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Well that's just lovely!
how long he out for?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
If he misses extended time, D tackle depth will get interesting. Probably see some Carlo Kemp tomorrow.
September 7th, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
Kemp and Jeter could both fill in. Numbers aren't a problem, but number of playmakers is.
September 7th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
He barely played last Satuday, so maybe he was hurting and had to get something cleaned out. Best case, out a few weeks?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Is this the "Everyone have Panic Attacks Blog" now?
September 7th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
I’m sure Mineral King will chime in with a cryptic post in regards to the situation.
September 8th, 2018 at 8:51 AM ^
Why not Sky Panther? Why would you use the Mineral King account?
September 8th, 2018 at 10:05 AM ^
you're so cool
