The Best Offensive Line
December 17th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
A take much too important and insightful to be buried in the other O line thread!
December 17th, 2022 at 11:11 PM ^
Bryan is the Pele of board posters
December 18th, 2022 at 5:15 AM ^
A bicycle kick to the groin?
December 17th, 2022 at 11:11 PM ^
13 years of mgoblog experience led to this
December 17th, 2022 at 11:14 PM ^
I'll drink to that.
December 17th, 2022 at 11:15 PM ^
Keep drinking, and stay awake!
December 17th, 2022 at 11:28 PM ^
Moar cocaine
December 17th, 2022 at 11:30 PM ^
I feel as though the Doors of Understanding have just been opened to me! Hail, Bryan for the unselfish sharing of his exalted wisdom!
December 17th, 2022 at 11:32 PM ^
We find this offensive
Us too...
I'm clappin'...
I'm not...

Last photo: Day is looking at all the jock straps his players lost on the field during the game.
December 18th, 2022 at 5:55 AM ^
I thought he was poking around with his toe for his own.
December 18th, 2022 at 7:50 AM ^
They wear ball lifters at osu, not jock straps.
December 18th, 2022 at 12:55 AM ^
Missing in this montage of suck is Bret Beilema kvetching about refs and looking longingly at a Golden Corral sign. We have an IHOP OL - Pancakes for Everyone!
December 18th, 2022 at 7:51 AM ^
I awarded you an additional upvote for the correct use of kvetching in a sentence. Also, I would love a photoshop of the Joe Moore award photo with "Brought to you by IHOP: We Pancake Everyone."

Still looking for those 100 points.
They're out there somewhere, coach.
December 18th, 2022 at 3:43 PM ^
I think after the last two games, the Buckeyes have scored 50 points (two games combined) against Michigan. So, if they keep performing st this level, they may reach 100 after two more games.
December 17th, 2022 at 11:34 PM ^
So money and we don't even realize it
December 18th, 2022 at 7:44 AM ^
Like a big bear not knowing what to do with this fukn bunny!
December 17th, 2022 at 11:39 PM ^
So you're tellin me, skinny short fast ninja slot receivers on offense don't work?
December 18th, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
Sure they do. Only you have to recruit offensive lineman as well. Really.
I’m reminded of the recruiting class where we had one (repeat, one) offensive lineman. Fortunately, Christian Pace went on to be an All American 🙄
December 17th, 2022 at 11:41 PM ^
Has a Michigan OL ever won the Joe Moore Award? Asking for a friend.
December 18th, 2022 at 9:44 AM ^
I think it was way in the past, maybe the same year we beat Ohio. I bet Wolverine Historian knows.
December 17th, 2022 at 11:42 PM ^
Ever!!! Again, and again.
December 18th, 2022 at 12:28 AM ^
We had a great OL in 2007 that helped milk the clock late at home vs. PSU, with Hart running behind the left side (Jake Long). But that line couldn't protect Henne ai Illini where he got a shoulder injury that hurt him till the Citrus Bowl win over Urban. We also have Mullings who could do what Owen Marecic could do - scoring back to back TDs, 1st on O then on D.
December 18th, 2022 at 7:10 AM ^
I'm really enjoying the current state of the O-line. It's been 20+ years since Michigan has had something like this.
But 2007? You mean this year?
https://mgoblog.com/content/you-were-killed-bear-and-i-am-sad
The starting O-line was a Hall of Fame left tackle and a bunch of guys. Schilling (a couple of games) and Boren (briefly on an active roster) were the only other ones that made the NFL.
OT: Chris Hinton made the Chargers roster (https://www.chargers.com/team/players-roster/christopher-hinton/). Maybe that's old news. I wasn't aware until this morning.
December 18th, 2022 at 9:47 AM ^
Runaway beer truck? Best call ever.
December 18th, 2022 at 12:32 AM ^
Some people around here are too young to remember when true freshmen starting on the oline was a thing that happened sometimes and I am extremely jealous
December 18th, 2022 at 12:49 AM ^
OL Good = Team Good = Me happy.
OL Bad = QB Ouch, RB Oof = Me sad.
December 18th, 2022 at 8:13 AM ^
you have a wonderful economy of words. it is very effective.
December 18th, 2022 at 6:56 AM ^
The Dark Times have well and truly ended. Now is the time of the Dynasty of Destiny. Hail.
December 18th, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
Michigan 🏈 Renaissance (2020 ADE-ongoing)
December 18th, 2022 at 7:15 AM ^
With everyone, now, healthy and a nice group of youngsters having filled in, learned and becoming high level contributors-bring it on!
Next year's OL may be as good or better-tremendous depth. And the schedule, just like this year, will allow them time to develop and gel. JJ, Edwards, Stokes, Mullings and the gang will be a year better-oh my!
Glory days.
December 18th, 2022 at 7:44 AM ^
After all the agony we experienced during the RichRod years, the Hoke years, and the early Harbaugh years where it just seemed like when push came to shove Michigan’s OL could not get push on anyone who mattered (on in Hoke’s case, anyone at all), we finally have the OL we’ve been dying to see since Carr retired.
Cant expect Moore to stay forever, but he’d better be in line for a big raise this off-season.
December 18th, 2022 at 8:49 AM ^
So at the OT position we have Jones, Barnhart, Persi, Bounds, and Gentry returning and Henderson (could be OG) and Hinton portalling in? Moore is a beast.
December 18th, 2022 at 8:53 AM ^
future is bright.... I think that Mormon kid is going to be special too
December 18th, 2022 at 9:53 AM ^
Why this isn't obvious is puzzling. Stanford under Harbaugh vs.Carroll's USC. The Washington football team with Joe Bugel and Joe Jacoby. The current Lions! Is it any wonder Goff has played better when upright?
JJ also makes the line better and their sack numbers go down and their rushing total higher with his mobility. Luck? Kaepernick?
December 18th, 2022 at 10:13 AM ^
Smart, talented, hard working young men. A solid TE position group. Solid center and QB. Read, understand, communicate, and execute.
More intricate blocking schemes with the intelligence and ability to execute is what Michigan fans have been seeing these past two seasons.
December 18th, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
It starts at the trenches. A superior O-line and D-line will win you a ton of games.
Our future looks bright in both areas!
December 18th, 2022 at 11:31 AM ^
The craziest thing about the Joe Moore stuff:
Not one of our OL starters has been a top-100 overall recruit or top-10 OL recruit. None. It’s all our coaches’ development and talent identification.
There are many other schools (e.g. OSU, Alabama, Oklahoma) that have KILLED it in OL recruiting, piling up top-100, even top-10, guys.
But we’re better.
December 18th, 2022 at 12:05 PM ^
Magnum, it’s synergy. The sum of the parts is greater than the whole. It’s scheme, teamwork, and execution. They are a pleasure to watch. And, IMO, the TE position group is just a fantastic complement to the OL.
Go Blue!
December 18th, 2022 at 12:59 PM ^
Well the TE are coached by Newsome.
December 18th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
Bo, the entire staff is fantastic. And, Newsome.. what can you say? Such a talented and gifted player.. young man.. dealing with such a horrific injury, coming back from it… so, very glad to see.
Grant deserves so much credit and support, as does the Michigan Athletic and Academic staff for their support of him. It reflects so positively on all involved, including the Medical staff and surgeons who cared for him.
It makes me proud to be a Michigan fan and alum.
Go Blue!
December 18th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
I can't even imagine being so good at something that people don't realize it. That must be the holy grail of goodness.
