Very exciting. Michigan demolishing Nebraska will be an excellent cap to this night.

January 9th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
for about the first 1:20 it absolutely like he was gone but then he uttered that beautiful word "but"
"but when you to a place like Michigan..." and you know things are good from there

Adjust your sound to play Opera Muppets and Lewan's press conference at the same time... it syncs perfectly! Aliens?!?!
January 9th, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
So...we know it's almost a given of Lewan/Kalis on the left hand side. My only questions are Center and if Schofield moves back inside or stays at tackle.
I'd say my guess is Miller at C.....Schofield at RG and Braden at RT.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:19 PM ^
I think the tackles stay put - Schofield was a solid guard in 2011, but he finished 2012 as a good RT and I think it makes sense to keep him there. Miller will be at Center and Kalis at one guard.
If Bryant can't lock down the other guard spot, my sleeper pick is Erik Magnuson. He's a talented player who can play inside if he needs to. I think he'll ultimately end up at tackle, but I think he can play OG too, and I bet he'll get a chance at a starting spot.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
Those who stay.

January 9th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
Happy for Fitz Toussaint and Derrick Green who will have a top 5 draft pick caliber LT to run behind.
Happy for me.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:13 PM ^
deveon.
getting really annoying yall keep on pumping green when he's not even verbally in yet.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:35 PM ^
January 10th, 2013 at 9:15 AM ^
Same mentality on this board earlier in the year except it was...Isaac. Smith has all the skill and 90% less hype.
Lewan's decision is good for the team - not a recruit who hasn't made a decision and therefore is not as relevant as those on the team that have.
January 10th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
...add Smith and Shallman and Johnson and Rawls and Hayes, and Kerridge, and Houma, and...
I love them all like they were my sons.

He's like a surprise 5-star pickup on National Signing Day.
And you know he'll start on day one.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
Let's hope it is a season to remember
January 9th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
January 9th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
Wha wha WHAT?! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
As freaking happy as I am that he's coming back, I find that last gif a little disturbing.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
Wow. Glad I couldn't bet on his decision...I would be lighter in the wallet.
Hope he wins the Outland trophy and becomes a top 5 pick.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
"First round? Not good enough. I will be first overall, dammit!"
January 9th, 2013 at 7:16 PM ^
I went to Brian's blog site and found a lap dance.

The press conference actually gave me hope... the news totally made my day, I knew it would be Muppet worthy

I wonder if this will impact our OL recruiting.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:29 PM ^
will mean one less scholarhip is available, but do you think any OL recruit for 2013 was seriously expecting to play in 2013? Let's say a recruit takes it as a challenge he isn't willing to meet, that's worth knowing right now.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
the message recruits get from this is that it's just so damn great to play on this team that the nfl can wait. it could be really good for recruiting future OL.
now, here's hoping Lewan has a great season and makes out like Jake Long in the draft next year.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:13 PM ^
I bet it impacts it - positively. If you're Cameron Hunt (or one of the other OL we're after) how would you like to spend your RS season learning from the best OL in the country? You weren't going to play anyway, but now you get to learn from and befriend a future top NFL draft pick. Sounds awesome to me.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
you too can chat up a first round draft choice about your career when your turn comes.
Devin, don't worry about that left side.
And for me, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:22 PM ^
I Love MUPPETS!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:25 PM ^
I too, wonder about our OL recruiting, but that's a concern for another day.
Let the revelry commence!

Let the revelry continue!

January 9th, 2013 at 7:30 PM ^
Along with a great offensive line should equal an 11 win season! BCS BOWL BABY!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
OH FUCK YES MOTHERFUCKER!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
I was thinking I might see him here in Jacksonville, but I am happy he is staying. Those who stay will be Champions!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
Shocker (not in the gross way).
- -DG's backside protected
- -Best recruit in next year's class
- -Best thing that could have happened to the new 12,13 studs on the OL (benefits of mentorship and watching an all american practice/play)
- -Could possibly be a top 5 pick after Clowney buzz and significant SR season
- -Could help impact some young RB recruit's decision
Good, good and more good. Wait a minute...more good. Lewan just went into a different strata of Michigan lore...all 3 penalty games are now forgiven.
Awesome!
January 9th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
...all 3 penalty games are now forgiven...
Should read: All 3-penalty games in the past are now forgiven.
Future NFL #1 picks should be penalty free....

January 9th, 2013 at 8:15 PM ^
Congrats on the raise!
January 9th, 2013 at 7:43 PM ^
of Jon Jansen and "the last 77" aka Jake Long before the start of the season. Both of those gentlemen stayed for their last year of eligibility. I wonder if either/both of those conversations had anything to do with his decision,
