AMRBHG?
"With all of the injuries freshman Ben VanSumeren -- a former tight end -- is now No. 2 on the depth chart. . . . Behind Wilson and VanSumeren? Sophomore Julian Garrett, a walk-on from Centreville, Va.
It’s April 4th.
And no time for fools!
I'd like to buy a vowel Pat, an E please.
Angry Michigan Running Back Hating God. No Es
+1 Underrated
Sucks to hear Andrighetto blew his ACL, don't wish that on anyone, let alone a kid who was starting to come on strong based on all the hype. The other injuries sound like relatively minor things that won't impact the regular season, and obviously Evans is not an injury-related issue. But man, spring game will be sparse at RB.
the spring 'game' will be sparse, period. and Zach C will be on the depth chart in the fall.
Maybe we better just do drills at the spring game like Hoke did his last season.
Well I guess we'll have to lean on the WR's and really air it out this year..
" Injuries have also impacted the wide receiver group, which has been without its top two wideouts from 2018, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Nico Collins, for the entire spring, too"
Fuck. Nevermind.
Tight ends and fullbacks baby.
As is tradition.
Manball. Trying to avoid hard contact is for commies.
Charbonnet and Turner are only being held out for precautionary purposes.
BVS is not a former TE, he came in as a back.
Hassan Haskins’ injury was known too.
This article is dumb. We’re not crazy deep here, but we’re going to be fine if CT, ZC, and TW stay healthy. If we get Evans back we’re going to be actually deep.
Charbonnet had surgery, so that's not really precautionary, but I get where you are coming from.
It is though. The surgery was just a clean up, and he’s fine - he’s exercising, just not playing football. He could play, he’s not playing for precautionary purposes.
Is there any real optimism that Chris Evans' penalty will be reduced?
It’s probably not the likely outcome, but it’s not an insignificant chance
Sad. SMH that consequences can be so tough sometimes.
I can't say optimism, but if he's publicly saying the guys are sharing the new playbook with him and he's watching film with them (outside of team activities) I have to think there's a real chance. Can't see Harbaugh being cool with that if he was 100% gone.
That’s a lot of ifs.....
Not really. We’re talking three backs not getting injured and a possibility of Evans coming back. We’ve been pretty lucky on RB health in recent years. If any combination of two of those three stay healthy at the same time, we’re fine. Add in a healthy dose of Ben Mason. And that’s assuming Chris Evans doesn’t work his way back onto the team.
Spring Ball, get back to me about panicking if it's fall camp.
Still not sure why Michael Barrett isn't getting any run here.
I suspect it is because Barrett will be starting at viper next year and needs the experience at viper.
RB depth should be ok in the fall once those with minor injuries return.
Lol...sorry but na. He's not taking that distinction from Kaleke or Jordan, for that matter outside of something truly catastrophic.
Khaleke is a senior this upcoming season
He said next year. Those guys will be seniors this year.
Just a simple misunderstanding how "next" and "this" season are defined. I consider the Fall 2019 schedule as "next" season, and the Fall 2018 season as "this" season. I probably feel this way because I tie specific seasons to the UM academic calendar.
Probably because he is not a running back at this level.
And VanSumeren and Andrighetto are?
Thought he looked like a decent runner as an option QB in high school and seems to have a good body type for it. Admittedly he may not pan out, but I don't get why he hasn't been tried unless he really is popping that much as a Viper.
If I'm parsing Harbaugh's words correctly, he's basically fourth at Viper/SAM behind Hudson, Glasgow, and Uche.
Considering none of those guys will be on the roster in 2020, he still needs the practice reps this season.
This could be a blessing in disguise. Like, maybe we will be FORCED to use our senior 5* QB and our three 5* WRs more this year because the fucking Towel Boy is our back-up at RB?
I don't know. I am trying to do best-case scenario here. Like Sarah Silverman says, "When life gives you AIDS, make lemonAIDS!!!
I don't supposed there's any chance we have a water-boy on the sideline who was home-schooled in Louisiana that could step in at RB?
I'd prefer him at Viper TBH.
Probably not, but we might have a towel boy that can fill in for DPJ and Nico.
Last game of the season, Brent. Can’t hold anything back now!
We know
Gatorade not only quenches your thirst, it tastes better.
BVS was brought in as a FB. JFYI.
Is anyone else still trying to figure out what this acronym means?
Angry Michigan Running Back Hating God.
He/She must have missed those Iowa years.
Angry Michigan Running Back Hating God. The "AM[position acronym]HG" term has been used intermittently over the years here.
Basic gist of the origin back from 2010:
"At this point Justin Turner was still on the team and Troy Woolfolk's ankle was unaware of what Angry Michigan Secondary Hating God had in store for it."

Not really. It started back when Iowa couldn't seem to keep a single rb healthy, which went on for a few years IIRC. Thus began the AIRBHG meme. That was maybe '07-'08?
God hates us for beating Notre Dame too often. That's why we're not allowed to have nice things.
Well since we've been their pleasure pillow as of late, that needs to change.
