Dax Hill Updates Thread
On3 has reported (non paywalled) that multiple sources suggest Daxton Hill is more likely to play than not.

Additionally there are rumors about flight tracking showing a plane from WillowRun to the Miami area but there could many reasons for that. (Wealthy fans, athletic staff, etc)

I just hope that he's healthy. He is a great athlete and player. I'd hate for him to miss the game but I hope for the best for his health.

Gives me nightmares of Peppers and his injury before the Bowl Game. Felt like we lost before we even played.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:52 PM ^
Oh, please. We only lost that game b/c of a bad tackle on our last kickoff.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:16 PM ^
I dunno man. Putting that game on one singular tackle missed at the end of the game seems a bit harsh. If anything, our offense probably should have found the end zone at least one time in the first 55 minutes of that game.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:30 PM ^
Agree that a lot went wrong in that game. But I maintain that it was the finest game Jim Harbaugh has coached at Michigan.
December 30th, 2021 at 4:48 PM ^
Other than our last regular season game this year.
December 30th, 2021 at 4:13 PM ^
That and J. Lewis getting burned again and again. I was shocked to see him get scorched.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:39 PM ^
We didn’t lose that game before kickoff. We played well and led late.
But missing him certainly hurt. Not hard to imagine him shutting down a big Dalvin Cook play or two.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
Correct. It is in fact impossible to lose a game before kick off.
December 30th, 2021 at 5:42 PM ^
UCLA: and I took that personally
December 30th, 2021 at 2:22 PM ^
lol we've reached the flight tracking stage of the dax hill saga
December 30th, 2021 at 2:43 PM ^
I’ve really missed FlightAware to be honest.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:20 PM ^
Are we sure that's not a Dave Brandon flight?
December 30th, 2021 at 2:23 PM ^
PANDA WATCH!
December 30th, 2021 at 3:29 PM ^
Get out here Panda Jerk!
December 30th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
Can I play safety if Dax cannot go?
December 30th, 2021 at 2:27 PM ^
Shouldn’t you be at a HR retreat eating s’mores or something? You don’t have the right temperament for the SS position anyways.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:51 PM ^
This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell out of here.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:58 PM ^
You can't even play Zipline safety.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:16 PM ^
No more s’mores. No more s’mores. Plus you need to have whole milk and steak in your desk drawer not some candy ass caprese salad to play safety on a Harbaugh coached team.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:56 PM ^
Since when is it a crime to put supposedly 2! lbs of caprese salad in anyone’s drawer?
December 30th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
On 3? One? Onthruh?
December 30th, 2021 at 2:25 PM ^
It would be pretty sad for dax to miss potentially his final game, but if he doesn't play I hope we give him the shot at 1 more game
December 30th, 2021 at 2:27 PM ^
You can hide your plane and call sign from flight tracking websites. Call sign over atc is dot com xxxx. It cost money but several planes heading into the ZMA area will not be able to be tracked by flight aware, flightradar24, etc. He's prolly heading down today. McDonald from being in the NFL with guys who are used to being able to skip the whole week of "practice" is adapt to handle how to keep him up to date mentally. They've been repping UGA stuff for a few weeks missing 5 days isn't a huge deal. Its been reported he's been up to date on game prep. Not to mention I bet he can still use the football facilities since no one is there.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:49 PM ^
Imagine Dax just alone in Schembechler Hall like Kevin from Home Alone running around and living his best life
December 30th, 2021 at 4:24 PM ^
Give this to Daxton...
Give this to Daxton...
Daxtons not here...
Daxtons not here...
December 30th, 2021 at 5:25 PM ^
Home Alone puns. Dax Hilarious you guys.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:29 PM ^
Just so we’re clear, if the “rumors” about a plane from Willow Run to Miami is in reference to my comment in the previous thread, I have no idea who is on that plane. FlightAware simply listed the flight and the plane is registered to a booster. Having said that, it lands at 3:05 so speculate away!
December 30th, 2021 at 2:42 PM ^
Do boosters fly private jets to attend bowl games? Asking for a very wealthy friend.
December 30th, 2021 at 5:06 PM ^
Private jets are for the poor. It’s all about the spaceships in 2021.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:31 PM ^
Hmm -- would they normally use willow run or ann arbor?
December 30th, 2021 at 3:06 PM ^
Willow Run is better suited for private jets. 7500 ft runway vs 3500 ft at Ann Arbor Municipal
December 30th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
3500 feet isnt long enough to support a plane that would be flying non stop to the Miami area.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
lol you think !!! A 3500 foot runway isn't long enough to support a normal jet departure period which is why I stated "Willow Run is better suited for private jets." You must of missed the first sentence of my statement
December 30th, 2021 at 3:31 PM ^
I didn't just further hammering home that point.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:47 PM ^
TBH your statement isn't factual tho. Many turbo props have the range for that trip (non stop) and have the ability for short runway takeoffs. TBM 940, Piper M600 and Pilatus PC12 just to name a few. The Beechcraft Denali is another but full production on that aircraft hasn't started as of yet. With that being said, I don't think Michigan is the turbo prop type of institution tho.
December 30th, 2021 at 4:04 PM ^
I've got like 8 hours in small turbo prop's (like 480 in a DHC-8) so I don't know their limitations and range with payload and fuel, granted its winter so DA is low but good point. I was assuming due to time limitations jet travel was going to be the choice.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:35 PM ^
I got a negative covid test right here right now..I will give it to Dax
December 30th, 2021 at 2:39 PM ^
I’m glad that it’s not an uphill battle for him to play
December 30th, 2021 at 2:42 PM ^
What are sam webb's balls, i mean gut saying?
December 30th, 2021 at 2:44 PM ^
Well, it would be like Dax Hill's recruitment to UM to fake us out but ultimately come through in the end. I'm hopeful that he can play. Would hate to play UGA with one of our more important players out.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:46 PM ^
oh, FFS. we're honestly doing the flightracker thing? get a damn grip.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:19 PM ^
What else do you want to do today? Work?
December 30th, 2021 at 3:44 PM ^
I certainly didn't get much done. Just hitting the refresh button all day for more news/updates.
December 30th, 2021 at 3:47 PM ^
okay, that's a fair point.
December 30th, 2021 at 4:59 PM ^
At least you all are working. I’ve had the last 10 days off and times moving at a snails pace. Couple that with all the crappy bowls and cancellations, and I feel like this place is a prison. Luckily I can start boozing in 1 minute.
December 30th, 2021 at 2:46 PM ^
Dax Hill will get here before I’m through in the rental car line in Ft Lauderdale. Solid hour and a half and halfway done
