Regardless of which round Zinter goes in, the team who gets him is getting a huge steal. I think he should still go relatively high because he was healthy and had great endurance throughout college, and because the injury he sustained isn’t usually repeatable like ligament/muscle damage. Excited to watch him play when he gets back to full strength!
I also agree that if Henderson moves to a Guard spot, whoever gets him will also get a huge steal.
I was thinking about this the other day, as well! If it does happen, I hope someone creates a "Football Runs Through Michigan" shirt/hoodie. My vision for the shirt would be the state of Michigan in the background with both teams logos over their respective trophies and the verbiage under the state. I would love to see a prototype from some of you creative types out there.
I think only the second half of your statement should fall under the /s. Michigan debunked the first half by adding guys such as Olu Oluwatimi, Drake Nugent, AJ Barner, Josaiah Stewart, and Josh Wallace from the portal. Yes they’re not 5* mercs, but they definitely added to both Michigan’s culture and chemistry.
This is the right mentality. I obviously would love to have Coach Harbaugh stay for continuity, but if the man chooses to pursue the NFL, more power to him. He’s brought Michigan back to where it should be, and he should be applauded for that.
I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for writing this piece, Ace. It was a great encapsulation of your lows being cushioned by the amazing experience of winning a Rose Bowl and a National Championship.
This section gives me even more confidence that the recruiting services are way over-trusted by many fans. Who cares if a guy comes in a low 3* if he betters the program and positively contributes? The 5* system is made up by the services anyway. The same complaints would be coming (probably even louder) if the system was set up as a 10* system or strictly a percentage. Is it great to land the highly touted guys? Of course. But the chart with Graham and Grant near the top shows the recruiting services are more inclined to drive clicks and views than anything.
Godspeed, Dennis. Know that your fellow Michigan alumni will always have your back. Please do not ever hesitate to take whatever healthy route you need to deal with your traumas and pains. You will get better. Forever and always, Go Blue.
I could feel my heart beating in my chest during the game but when the game ended I just felt... calm.
That was my exact reaction after the game as well. Contentment. A fitting resolution to the last three years. Now knowing that this program is back to a place of stability with a foundation to grow on for years to come. Trusting the coaches know more than recruiting services. It all leads to a place of peaceful contentment.
Especially if BiSB chooses to do a post-season OW for this year. There had to be a bunch of ideas floating around his head towards the end of the year when he wasn't writing the column. There's a lot of gold in them there mines.
As someone who's fandom of this team really began just before applying to colleges (first in person game was '08 Toledo...), seeing this team be 40-3 over the last three years with none of those losses coming to OSU was something I considered unfathomable. We are beyond blessed with where this program is at, and it's going to stay that way for quite some time.
One of my superstitions this year has been to read this column the day after the game in order to see how accurate the reading was. It's crazy how spot on you were this year, MGoTarot. I'm not a believer in readings, but I do have my superstitions.
Thank you for taking the time to put this column together every week and for us combined being the reason Michigan won a National Championship ;) Go Blue!
Thank you for yet another wonderful season of Punt-Counterpunt, Bryan and Raj. Your writing is always a gameday treat. It's amazing to finally have one on the day of the National Championship, knowing Michigan is potentially 60 minutes away from raising yet another trophy. The anticipation for tonight is almost too much to handle.
On another note, if this is indeed your potential last column Bryan, thank you for everything you've given MGoBlog. Your writing has been a massive injection of pure joy every time I read it. Best of luck with everything you have going on, and I hope to read more of you in the future.
Alex coming in clutch getting these out before Monday. Thank you so much for your hard work throughout the season! Now to get my laminated copies of the personnel charts printed before tomorrow…
Sooo “fawning” over what Blake does with BC2 at Thanksgiving is not the thing to do either huh? Get outta here with that. These kids have proven that they have a heart to help the community and now have the means to do so in college with NIL money. It’s honestly pretty cool they get to lay the foundation for something like this now in college vs having to wait to get drafted into the NFL, which is not guaranteed.
Of course it comes with tax breaks; that's the way the tax laws are written in this country. But why come in and poop on OP's thread when it's clear that there's also a good heart behind the effort?
One of the reasons I've loved reading this blog's content is it's allowed me to be able to not just ball watch on a play. It really is intriguing keeping your eyes on a certain player and seeing where they go and how they affect the play, or if you watch just the OLine/DLine to see how they reset the line of scrimmage. It's going to be fun regardless and I am very excited for the 8th to get here!
Michigan doesn't even sniff this game with Don Brown. I'm very grateful for what he did during his time here, but his unwillingness to adapt was frustrating (see the '18 and '19 OSU game plans)

Especially CJ. He really blew the Combine numbers out of the water.

Autocorrect...
Who needs to do work when there's another post-season UFR to pour over? Thanks for yet another productivity break, Seth!
I mean time is a flat circle right? Isn’t the next logical offensive evolution going back to the triple option out of the Wishbone?

I like this draft prediction. Could you imagine having to game plan for Chop and Aidan at the same time?
Ah, yes. The NIL Tampering Bowl Presented By Uncle T and Connor Stallions!
And I cannot blame the man if he chooses to pursue that goal, especially since he brought Michigan back to the pinnacle.

Sherrone Moore at the thought of more SMASH
The first of many post season UFR's!
Man, those cut onions from a week and a half ago are still really strong! Thanks for sharing.

Can't forget about the U, Don.

DaVinci and Michaelangelo are applauding from heaven’s grandstands. Bravissimo!
Bill had me rolling! Love that he's behind the guys and is happy Michigan won.

A perfect capstone on a perfect season. Hats off to you, Brian, and the rest of the MGoStaff.
This is only the beginning. Go Blue, forever and always.
Best sports blog on the face of the planet bar none. We’re blessed to have this community! Love you all!
GO BLUE…
Contentment.
GO BLUE FOREVER!
I'll tell you once the game is over!

Go Blue! Beat the Huskies!
It’s not a big game day…
It’s not a big game day without a Mello hype video! So excited for tonight.
Mutually beneficial decisions don’t drive clicks, unfortunately.
Alex coming in clutch getting these out before Monday. Thank you so much for your hard work throughout the season! Now to get my laminated copies of the personnel charts printed before tomorrow…
Just do as Stefon does and you’ll be fine
then,…
If by 🔥🔥🔥you mean
then, yes it would indeed be 🔥🔥🔥

Only three days until Michigan plays for a National Championship! Let's bang!

Wait. The only way you have an iPhone 16 is if this is Steve Jobs' or Steve Wozniak's MGoBlog account. Can you share one with me please?
We may get to see bad snaps again? And it'll be for OSU?
Haskins hurdling Cam Brown in the '21 OSU game would be a good pick

Future's bright! Go Blue!
