What does this mean? Who will replace him? Will we see a Ross-Bolden-Morgan LB lineup?
Fuck.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.University of Michigan football senior/junior linebacker Jake RyanWestlake, Ohio/St. Ignatius) is out indefinitely with a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in Tuesday's practice, the team announced today (Wednesday, March 20).
"You always hate when anyone gets injured and unfortunately we've dealt with our share of injuries in the last 12 months," said Michigan coach Brady Hoke."We will support Jake to make sure he has everything he needs to get through this.I know he will attack his rehabilitation just like he does everything else and will be back when he's ready."
Ryan led the Wolverines in 2012 with 88 tackles, 56 solo, 16 stops for loss, 4.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.
He earned All-Big Ten second team honors by the media and was the Roger Zatkoff Award recipient as U-M's top linebacker.Dating back to 2011, Ryan had tallied a tackle-for-loss in 17 of his last 19 games.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shit.

I don't think any amount of kittens and Kate Upton can remedy this tradgedy. =(
March 20th, 2013 at 12:40 PM ^
I feel really bad for him, and for the team. Ryan is a great player and good leader. That really, really sucks. I hope he heals as soon as practicable.
It is not often practicable, to use 'practicable' in a sentence, especially not more than once.

It seems way too early in Spring Practice for this type of thing to be happening!!! NOOOO. Who steps up?
March 20th, 2013 at 12:53 PM ^
The good news is that this injury happened way early in spring practice. Who knows what the actual diagnosis is, but if it's a "simple" ACL tear he could be back in six months and ready for the conference schedule.
it's great news.

Someone say April Fools!!!! Please!!! Say April Fools!!!
March 20th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
I looked at my calendar with the hope that today was April 1st.
This just sucks, especially for Jake.
March 20th, 2013 at 12:42 PM ^
What does this mean for his future here? Will we see our first-ever 6th year Senior?
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like most sixth year players get it because they missed their fifth year due to injury. Since Ryan still has 2014 to play (in addition to however soon he can return in 2013), I would sort of doubt that he gets a sixth year...if he even applies for one.
I'm pretty sure that the initial redshirt season has to be due to an injury. I don't think that was the case with Ryan.

I'm trying to put together a series of swears to match the gravity of the situation.
It's just not possible. It's just.... not possible

March 20th, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
That sucks for you guys. I love this kids motor.
March 20th, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
he may be able to play this season?
March 20th, 2013 at 12:53 PM ^
9 month recovery, according to WebMD or some variation of that. :-\
possible chance at a medical redshirt for him to come back as a super senior.
March 20th, 2013 at 12:53 PM ^
Not unless you have a spare ALC lying around in your closet. You do, don't you? Please say that you do!
March 20th, 2013 at 12:56 PM ^
ALC? Good plan. Now is a good time to break out the emergency alcohol from my closet.
March 20th, 2013 at 12:57 PM ^
He could have mine if it would speed up his recovery time, I only use it for some light weekend jogging, I'm sure I could manage without it.
March 20th, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
Now for the part of my reaction beyond my own selfishness. Nobody deserves a full recovery and all the success his potential should bring him more than jake Ryan. Get well soon jake
