Minnesota=DEATH

By Brian — November 5th, 2008 at 6:46 PM — 30 comments

Oh, hell:

Michigan quarterback Steven Threet is "very, very questionable" for Saturday's game at Minnesota, according to coach Rich Rodriguez.

Threet suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter at Purdue, but the effects weren't clear until after the game. Rodriguez said before today's practice that the headaches usually associated with similar concussions go away after a day or two, but Threet's have remained. He has not practiced all week.

Things projected to be more fun than the Minnesota game:

  • last night's John McCain victory rally
  • being mauled by a lion
  • eating six whole tilapia raw
  • Henry Kissinger

You know...Sheridan does open up bigger holes for our RBs to run through.  So what if he can't throw.  So what if when he does throw it's to the wrong team.  So what if he doesn't know what routes are, or what WR's are, or what '3 seconds and the ball is supposed to be out' is.  So what if he doesn't know what 'looking downfield' means, or how to recognize pressure from a 3 man rush.  You all need to be more optimistic...show some WOLVERINE PRIDE.  We are going to need Sheridan's sideline leadership if we are to become National Champs in '11.

That was the fact even without his concussions...  But Sheridan has no business to be on the field playing for Michigan, except maybe as a holder.

Game Plan: Direct snap to Minor every play and then let Zoltan punt. It will be less painful than even attempting to throw because those incomplete passes/interceptions will stop the clock. This way the pain will last for a shorter amount of time.
