Theo Johnson set to commit on Nov 18
He will be visiting Michigan for the MSU game on the 16th
November 6th, 2019 at 8:25 AM ^
Forgot to mention: he is the #3 TE from Windsor, ON, and is deciding between Michigan, PSU, Iowa, and Georgia. PSU is the crystal ball leader. He has a large family and distance may be a factor which helps Michigan
November 6th, 2019 at 8:43 AM ^
Only the third best TE in Windsor? Must be a good year for TE's in South Detroit.

Hey, that all reminds me of that Glee song!
November 6th, 2019 at 10:32 AM ^
Don’t stop! Receiving!
November 6th, 2019 at 11:13 AM ^
^^^ This is the only correct answer.
November 6th, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Hold on to that baa-aaa-aaa-aa-awl
November 6th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
#3TE...WTF? The thing above says he's the #1 player in Canada!
Is this some kind of bait and switch????
November 6th, 2019 at 11:56 AM ^
You need to get hip to the metric system, yo.

The underwear olympics are my favorite sporting event of the year!
November 6th, 2019 at 9:57 AM ^
Is that what they wear to play in the cold blue yonder? Yeebas.
November 6th, 2019 at 8:52 AM ^
Just curious: If you're a Canadian football player and you burn your opponent for a TD, do you have to apologize for it in a self-effacing way?
November 6th, 2019 at 9:00 AM ^
ya'll are just jealous we have onside punts.
November 6th, 2019 at 9:21 AM ^
From a southerner -- it's spelled " y'all ", though we do appreciate your appreciation of our vibrant language :)
November 6th, 2019 at 10:11 AM ^
Possessive is y'all's.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:24 AM ^
Plural possessive is: all y'all's.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:50 AM ^
the way i learned it from a texan who was at U of M with us was as follows:
"[expletive] all y'all!"
November 6th, 2019 at 9:21 AM ^
Never heard of onside punt. Found this link on the Googler. Nice.

That was like our recovered punt against ND.
Or maybe not.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:43 AM ^
Probably the original football rule actually. Looks like rugby. They'll often kick it high and try to run under it.
November 6th, 2019 at 12:36 PM ^
Yes, the not so surprisingly named "up-and-under" kick. Or the annoying-ass box kick from the base of a scrum.
November 6th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
When I was a kid playing street football we could advance an incomplete pass if we caught it on the first bounce and yelled "Canadian!" I'm not sure why.
November 6th, 2019 at 9:58 AM ^
I knew a girl who had onside punts. Those things were entertaining.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:40 AM ^
That's right I forgot this kid is playing with Canadian rules. ..
November 6th, 2019 at 10:58 AM ^
I'm also jealous because you have a rouge.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
Self effacing? Fuck no. You drive a stake into the ground on the 55 yard line.
November 6th, 2019 at 9:07 AM ^
18/11/19? Isn't that June 11, 2020?
November 6th, 2019 at 9:59 AM ^
They're weird up there and put the day first and the month second.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:03 AM ^
Actually the U.S. is the weird one. All the rest of the world puts the day first.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:12 AM ^
Yeah makes way more sense to go day month year in order
November 6th, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
and good luck getting a weight or height on the kid. i bet they list it in 'stones' or kilos, and height in meters and they won't even spell meters right.....
November 6th, 2019 at 10:38 AM ^
XM, I thought it was meaters???
November 6th, 2019 at 10:28 AM ^
Dumb question, and I do not feel like starting a thread:
If Penn State were to lose to Minnesota and Indiana.
Ohio State loses to Penn State and Michigan.
And Michigan wins out.
Who goes in that scenario?
November 6th, 2019 at 10:33 AM ^
Rutgers
November 6th, 2019 at 10:34 AM ^
Penn State - The head to head tie breaker would be in their favor with wins over both Ohio State and Michigan.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
Oh.
I guess we should've beaten Penn State then?
November 6th, 2019 at 10:35 AM ^
I believe Penn State. I think a three way tie-breaker is the record against each other. PSU would be 2-0, UM 1-1 and OSU 0-2.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:36 AM ^
I believe that would be Penn State - in a 3-way tie in which all three are 7-2 in conference and 1-1 in head-to-head, OSU would be eliminated for having the worst East Division record (UM and PSU both have a loss from the West). PSU would then get the nod by virtue of their head-to-head over UM.
edit: noted above, I'm wrong because PSU would be 2-0 in head-to-head.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:46 AM ^
Shea would have to have an outstanding day statistically. Otherwise the win is inconsequential.
November 6th, 2019 at 11:24 AM ^
Yeah, he would need to channel his inner matt stafford!
November 6th, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
If something that bizarre happens, the bigger question becomes: Does a PSU win in Indy get us to the Rose Bowl?
November 6th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
There is a diary about this from 6 days ago. Not being snarky but just saying to look there for the full breakdown. Basically the TL/DR is that we need OSU to lose to Maryland or Rutgers in addition to other results...so not happening.
November 6th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
Penn St
All are two loss in that scenario, but Penn St has the head to head wins against OSU and us.
The scenario we would prefer is OSU beats PSU, PSU and OSU both lose to a division team. We beat OSU.
All teams again would be 2 loss, head to head is now circular, which goes to the second tie-breaker which is record within division. We would go because we would be 1 loss in division where both theirs would be in division.
November 6th, 2019 at 10:45 AM ^
Can he block ? Because the types of TE we have gotten over the years, seem to be jumbo wrs only, and the position needs to be re-evaluated. Asiasi was the only blocking TE we've had in a long time. McKeon is ok I guess but makes too many errors. Need a throwback Bo type TE from Ohio.
November 6th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
TJ was basically an athletic tackle. All he did was block while he was here. But yes, might be easier to find a great blocker of a tight end and try to coach up his receiving than the other way around
November 6th, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
I don't get all the excitement over a TE. Are we the Detroit Lions?
November 6th, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
Only if we get excited about 4th string TEs on the goal line.
