I'm still holding out hope Nico comes back.
Now hear me out. He is the only player to opt out that didn't release a statement, and he still hasn't released a statement. And we have this nugget from Mike Sainristil: “I had texted him once,” Sainristil said. “I asked him if the rule of opting back in changes anything for him. He was still unsure. The silence from Nico is deafening. I have a feeling we will see #1 in 2 weeks.

Stop it, silly.

I'm still holding out hope that Kate Upton leaves Justin Verlander for me and that my wife will be totally okay with adding her to our relationship.
Your hopes are probably more likely, but I'm not holding my breath for either of us.
October 9th, 2020 at 12:54 PM ^
Ditto
October 9th, 2020 at 1:07 PM ^
I don’t know about this. I have a king size bed and it’s just enough room for both my wife and I to sleep without assaulting each other. If we had to add a third, my sleep would suffer. DO NOT WANT...
October 9th, 2020 at 1:42 PM ^
Nice.
October 9th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
I am really pulling for you, man. All of that seems eminently reasonable.
October 9th, 2020 at 2:31 PM ^
So what do you think is more of a long shot? Kate Upton leaving JV for you, or your wife being OK with it?
October 9th, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
It's a toss up.
Wife being okay with it: My wife also finds Kate Upton super hot, but she doesn't like sharing.
Kate leaving JV for me: JV has more money and is better looking, but I've never lost an MLB game, so I've got that going for me.
October 9th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
She's a MILF
October 9th, 2020 at 4:51 PM ^
She is waiting to see if you get enough upvotes, Oval.
It’s Happening!!
October 9th, 2020 at 6:36 PM ^
I also choose this guy's wife.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:42 AM ^
I NEED A HERO!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the season starts.
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be larger than life.
October 9th, 2020 at 11:22 AM ^
It’s actually a Footloose song that was quoted in SC2
October 9th, 2020 at 12:01 PM ^
I found this picture of you on the internet.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
Well, don't be naughty and add it to your Christmas list. Santa Claus always checks the list twice, so I'm sure he'll make your wish come true.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:45 AM ^
Fingers crossed Antonio Cromartie commits. I know people are like "hey man, he committed to Florida State like 17 years ago" but I think we can pull this thing out. Call me optimistic, but I'm tying a maize ribbon around this oak tree.
October 9th, 2020 at 11:20 AM ^
We will have plenty of shots at his offspring.

“Why? Why do the fools fly?' said Denethor. 'Better to burn sooner than late, for burn we must."
October 9th, 2020 at 11:02 AM ^
There was never much hope...just a fool's hope
October 9th, 2020 at 12:12 PM ^
Happy late “Baggins Bday” September 22.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:47 AM ^
He might want to start practicing soon then.
October 9th, 2020 at 11:23 AM ^
How do you know he isn't?
October 9th, 2020 at 12:15 PM ^
Touche?
October 9th, 2020 at 1:55 PM ^
He’s still on the official MGoBlue.com roster along with McCaffrey. Ambry Thomas was removed. I think we see some McCaffrey to Collins touchdown passes on October 24. They’re getting ready at a secret practice facility on North Campus. Jedd Fisch is coaching them remotely via Zoom.
October 9th, 2020 at 6:03 PM ^
I think that's just because Nico and McCaffrey are still enrolled in online classes.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:48 AM ^
I feel like I've seen this play out before
October 9th, 2020 at 11:47 AM ^
Someone have Gordon Bombay get Nico on the phone, stat!
October 10th, 2020 at 8:09 AM ^
Anyone have a pair of roller blades and a wolverine call I can borrow?
October 9th, 2020 at 10:49 AM ^
I’m not one to normally advocate hopelessness, but in respect to sports, it’s a very positive thing. Expecting the worst-case scenario in entertainment events you have no control over both minimizes the impact of bad news and losses and increases the satisfaction of good news and wins. That 5-star recruit can’t disappoint you when he ends up sitting on the bench when you didn’t expect him to live up to his ranking. I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir of Lions fans on the blog. Learn to live in the comfortable numbness of the void, guys.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
Stop.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:51 AM ^
Give it up, man. He gone.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
Hope is the thing with feathers.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:55 AM ^
I think it's cool that you and Linus are still holding down the fort!
October 9th, 2020 at 11:03 AM ^
Does this mean that we just need to find a football team that's much more sincere?
October 9th, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
Does this mean that we just need to find a football team that's much more sincere?
Wait, are you telling me ohio st is "sincere" now...? Is being sincere even desirable, then...?
I'm experiencing an existential crisis here, people
October 9th, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
More likely it means some Lucy is going to snatch the football away from the OP just when he thinks he is about to kick it.
October 9th, 2020 at 10:59 AM ^
Without practicing? Get your scuba gear ready cuz you’ll be holding that breath for some time
October 9th, 2020 at 11:04 AM ^
I'm starting to see a trend between downvotes and posts that begin with "now hear me out"
October 9th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
"Let me be clear"
October 9th, 2020 at 11:07 AM ^
No, I won't listen and I won't hear you out. Your passion is compelling; it's also useless.
October 9th, 2020 at 11:50 AM ^
Louden Downey needed a trial lawyer today!
October 9th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
I'm sorry, I keep forgetting. You were sick the day they taught law at law school.
October 9th, 2020 at 11:10 AM ^
No way, He gone!
As much as I would like to have him back, why would he be so silent about it?
If he comes back I'll certainly be happy but you have to think of the guys behind him working their asses off for playing time. If I'm Cornelius Johnson or whoever they have working to earn that starting spot and this guy is just going to walk back on the team and reclaim his starting position? That's exactly the kinda stuff that will make a guy transfer. Either way I just want Michigan football to start! Hurry up Oct. 24th!
October 9th, 2020 at 11:12 AM ^
This whole situation is just annoying. Nico should’ve flat out said he’s leaving considering in January he announced he was staying. Now you have some players like Sainristil that are still maybe wondering if he’s coming back, doesn’t have a definite answer. He’s obviously gone, but confirmation would be nice and it’s kinda selfish at this point to his teammates
October 9th, 2020 at 11:18 AM ^
Let me introduce you to my friend BPONE a minute
October 9th, 2020 at 11:18 AM ^
"I texted him once" doesn't suggest to me that these guys are putting their heads together to beat Minnesota in two weeks.
