Lewan Muppets

Taylor Lewan surprised everyone by announcing he'll return for his senior season at Michigan. When All-American left tackles unexpectedly stay for another year, it's time for muppets.

And you can't have one without the other...

Welcome back, Taylor.

According to Taylor, a 30-45 minute conversation he had with Jake Long was on his mind a lot.

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.

Where are all the idiots who KNEW he was going to head out for the draft when not 5 years ago we had an all american LT in the same situation stay for his last year... goes to show that alot of the time those who claim to be the most assured about an issue are the ones who end up not knowing sh$t.

Taylor said his dad even thought he was going pro.

So congratulations! You just called Taylor Lewan's dad an idiot.

Lewan stars in the first ever MGoReality show "Road Graders"

Sort of a "hard knocks" look at a bad-ass offensive line.

Between him and Long, only a matter of time until we make 77 a Legends number.  Seriously, two straight tackles who stay through their senior seasons, (probably) go in the top 10 of the NFL draft, and are all-around great dudes?  What else is there?

The offensive line next year will have a problem with sore feet. Primary cause will be from kicking so much ass.

RCMB has a pretty Schadenfreude laced thread going on about how our projected first rounder stayed and their projected 5th rounders bolted (one of the possible reasons for Lewan staying is because he was afraid of Gholston and knew he wouldn't have to deal with him anymore...):

It was good up until that dumbass high school kid gave them someone to unite against.  It went from pissing and moaning about life to piling on that doofus and the fact he fit their Walmart Wolverine stereotype.

Here is to an injury free and dominant year.  Thank you Taylor.  Please buy a big fat insurance policy as I hear Long did when he came back.  Totally unexpected on my part... I'm sure most everyone else.

I am shocked, stunned, and pretty much any other adjective combining surprise and disbelief.  It's great to see him decide to come back, but I hope he has been offered a nice spot as a GA in 2014 as a "safety net" if anything happens to take him out of the draft.

I think this speaks volumes about our program.  Michigan football is special--special enough to wait another year to get millions of dollars and play at the highest level.

It's also a good reminder that when people are making decisions, you can never be sure.  I'm so excited for our season and much more hopeful that a B1G Championship is within reach now.  

GO BLUE!

Thank you, Coach Hoke, for bringing Michigan back.
