Jake Butt running with the 1's?
Apparently there is a clip of the practice video on MGoBlue where it clearly shows Butt running with the ones. Does anyone really think he will get deployed this weekend?
I believe this is the link but I don't know for sure as it's blocked at my work.

I hope he comes back soon, but also hope they don't rush him. It'd be nice to have Jake back, but let's make sure he is 100% or close to it.

Beating ND is not consequential to Michigan's goals this year? The result of the ND game will be forgotten? wtf? I cannot relate to that thinking. In one very legitimate way of looking at things, the whole f'ing season is beat the Irish, beat Staee, beat Ohio.
edit: Though I'm not advocating pushing a player onto the field who's not ready.
September 3rd, 2014 at 2:40 PM ^
I would consider it important, but secondary to defeating OSU and MSU and getting to Indianapolis. I'd love to beat ND, especially the way they've gone about ending the series, but if we can't have it all, I'd rather take the loss in South Bend and have what I said in the first sentence.
September 3rd, 2014 at 5:35 PM ^
but I would not agree that it's absurdly so. This team does have a lot of talent. Did Auburn or MSU appear to have better prospects going into last season?
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:20 AM ^
Yes, he was running with the ones in the video. However, it was a short clip and no contact. So he may be running with the ones, but he also may not be doing involving full contact. Hopefully he is back ready to go this week.
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:32 AM ^
Can't watch video here, but is he in a non-contact jersey or vest? I think players not cleared for contact wear one even when not participating in contact drills, so if not, he might actually be cleared, at least medically.
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
No. He's in a regular white jersey like the rest of the offense. Good news, I hope.
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:11 PM ^
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:22 PM ^
I doubt it. That puts the player in jeopardy and probably goes against some policy.
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:32 PM ^
No, but I thought there's some doubt whether the video was showing a contact drill or not (I haven't watched it).
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:20 AM ^
We have a plan.
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:21 AM ^
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:24 AM ^
It is a good plan.
September 3rd, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Do you want to tell me about it?
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:21 AM ^
Butt is out there with the 1's.
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:30 AM ^
Butt with the #1's? Who does #2 work for?
September 3rd, 2014 at 4:56 PM ^
You are Number Six.
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:23 AM ^
The clip I think I saw him in was non-contact. May still be working him back. Who knows. Either way, if he did play, he'd be very limited in the number of snaps he could go.
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:50 PM ^
Would there be any reason to have a guy who won't play run with the 1s during a week where you are preparing for one of your toughest opponents? Seems like it would be counterproductive to the guys who will play.
September 3rd, 2014 at 2:24 PM ^
Though it depends on the portion of practice. It's an early practice, so they may be seeing where he's at and how he feels and get him some limited reps so that when he is able to come back he can. If he isn't a go on Saturday, his reps would decrease during the week. But they likely want to get a feel either way early in the week.
September 3rd, 2014 at 3:12 PM ^
Agree with what you said about seeing where he's at, but they might want to combine that with him getting out there and learning the new plays. It's one thing to watch new plays from the sidelines and study the playbook at home compared to actually being out there and executing your assignments.
September 3rd, 2014 at 11:24 AM ^
I guarantee you he comes back wearing #87. Hoke said they won't announce what they will do with it when someone changes to a Legends number.
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:14 PM ^
So if he doesnt wear 87, you have to kiss a girl

Cold blooded!

Better chance of Brian eating an entire lemon tree than that happening.

Go to studio or whatever it's called now.

Stop putting the pussy on a pedestal.

As a young man your goal should be to sample as much menu as you can, so you can learn what you really like and what's really best for you, or you'll end up with the wrong entree who'll end up costing you half your everything when it goes out the other side. Just go out there and dabble my man. As a loyal married husband, who is now just a hollow carcass of the feral hound I once was, with a tiny wife who carries my cojones around with her in a box after she ripped them out on our wedding night, I must now turn to you to carry the torch for all of mankind. Make us proud.

LOL, because it's all so fucking true. So. Fucking. True.
I miss my balls.

I wasn't ganging up on him, my comment came much later, and was supposed to be more encouraging to him.
Wasn't sure about the whole dude/chick thing, just curious. Thanks.

if chicks see how you ate that lemon, theyre gonna be all over you dude.

Girls are easy. Be confident, or fake it, just make an effort. It isn't hard (twss).

Hoke was asked on Monday whether anyone would wear the #87 jersey, and he answered "No."
September 3rd, 2014 at 12:45 PM ^
Hoke says there's no current plans for Ron Kramer's 87 jersey, then says no plans will be pre-announced: http://t.co/47M7FMnpUY

I don't know where Lorenz got that from, but it's not in the transcript of Monday's press conference. Someone asked "No one will wear it?" and Hoke answered, "No."

I really like the number 88. I'd like to see it have some staying power.
I wish they would have rolled out the legends stuff differently. Put a couple numbers up every couple years. There'd be less number changes, and the numbers (and legend) would be better known and paid better homage. Right now it feels like giving the numbers away is more of a chore than a celebration.
I'm definitely not against it. I think 98 looks awesome on Gardner, but just feel it needs to be toned down.
