Blake Countess Done For Year

Here's to Blake having a healthy recovery!

I knew it wasn't good when they were checking him out on the table doing the stability test.

Again...Starting Corner as a Gunner? Put your 2nd string in...Come On Man!

Get well Blake. The Team needs you!

Foxtrot Mike Lima!!

Get well soon Blake

Fuckityfuckingfucktasticfuck

Well shit. This could be a very long season. Better not sleep on Air Force.

:(

Damn Mayan calendar. Who knew they were referring to Michigan football.

Y U NO SLEEP AMHG Y???

I hope it is only 1 ligament torn and is something he can recover from.   Doesn't sound good.

not a lot of corners out there that come off of major knee injuries to be a star.

I'm done with it.

So much for "forget never forget."  Why write that?  Its like an Iowa blogger saying "Hey, at least our runnig backs are healthy?"   

Get better Blake.  If anyone has any insider access, please let him know that there are over 100,000 people pulling for him.  

Damnit, this just sucks balls.

Obviously losing arguably our best at the position sucks in a big way, but all reports were that Michigan should be able to weather this.  If Lewan is really ok then Michigan dodged the bigger of two bullets IMO at least.

A least Countess should be 100% recovered for the start of next season.  I wish him the best in his recovery.

Time for Avery and T.Rich to push each other.  Avery slipped once and looked bad doing it, but we have seen plenty of solid play from him in the past.

God it will be nice when any single injury isn't cause for hysteria.

Nobody would be saying "why is he playing on the punt coverage team" if Countess had forced a muff or made a bone-crushing tackle or whatnot.  It's bad luck -- not a bad decision -- that he was injured, and it shows why blocking in the back is against the rules, whether it gets called or not -- it's dangerous.  I hope he'll keep his head on straight, take the year to continue to improve his technique, rehabilitate, and come back next season better than ever.

well...that sucks...hopefully Taylor and Richardson can mature quickly..much like Countess did last year? (as my voice gets higher pitched)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!  :(

All the best wishes to Blake Countess for a total and complete recovery!  Team 136 welcomes him aboard for a potential NC run, and team 133 bids him the fondest of fairwells.  For now someone else will step up and do their damnest to live up to the expectations of a Michigan corner.  We're can only hope they'll have a breakout year similar to BC's run last season.  Againt, all the best!  Team 133 will make you proud and Team 134 will welcome you back the field!

I'm consoled by the good hearsay on Lewan's status as "go" for Air Force.  I certainly hope he's 100% and not risking exasperating any lingering injuries to play.  We need the as many All American types as we can get for team 133's jouney to Pasadena.

Actual pickle from Ace's burger.

Prayers go out to Blake for a speedy recovery.

Even though I am the enemy, I do have  heart.  (Sometimes.)

Then somebody quickly feed Terry Richardson a bunch of triple cheese bacon burgers!

Courtney Avery will step up.

My favorite player on the team other than Denard. Just an awful weekend. Prayers and best of wishes for a speedy recovery for Blake.

Post a video of the play he was injured on. It was on a punt, right? I remember briefly seeing a Bama player push Countess away from the punt returner, and ABC never showed the play again. Brent and Herby were too busy getting lathered up about the wonders of SECism.

Sad. Sad. Sad.

Speechless.  I've fought urges to throw this laptop, rip the collar off my shirt, and throw the remote through the television.  I hope he is able to play again, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.  I'm not an expert by any means, but what are the chances of someone gaining back their burst, explosiveness, lateral movements, and speed after such intense surgery?

FUCK.
