take it back.

Also a release on MGoBlue.com. Lovely news to hear.

At least we have some depth at LB for once.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You've got to be fucking kidding me

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shit.

I don't think any amount of kittens and Kate Upton can remedy this tradgedy.  =(

I feel really bad for him, and for the team. Ryan is a great player and good leader. That really, really sucks. I hope he heals as soon as practicable.

It seems way too early in Spring Practice for this type of thing to be happening!!! NOOOO. Who steps up?

son of a fuck.

At least it's now and not during the season so that someone has all of spring and summer to step up before the season. Hope Jake recovers quickly though, he's a great guy and football player.

Rough timing. Spring practice is always a tough time for a serious injury because it is not enough time to heal. Tough break to an awesome athlete. Lets hope he can rehab and recover.

That is the worst news for the defense. I got on to see a Hello post and all I got was a Hell-ish post. Dang man!

Someone say April Fools!!!!  Please!!!   Say April Fools!!!

Can we get him on the AP ACL recovery plan?

But seriously, he's done until next spring. Maybe he can practice during bowl season but I doubt it. Fuck.

Fuck. Shit.

I'm trying to put together a series of swears to match the gravity of the situation.

It's just not possible.  It's just.... not possible

Fuck you, Angry Jake Ryan ACL Hating God!!

<Gnashes teeth>

That sucks for you guys.  I love this kids motor.

he may be able to play this season?

Jake has been my favorite Michigan athlete for the better part of two years. More than any other reason, I was excited for the fall to see what jake would do.



Now for the part of my reaction beyond my own selfishness. Nobody deserves a full recovery and all the success his potential should bring him more than jake Ryan. Get well soon jake

i think i was just punched there

fuck that...I want some poetic justice this season for this football gods!

plus shit, bitch, cunt, ass.  gosh freaking damn it this sucks.

bad April Fool's Day joke.  This sucks.

What did we do to deserve this, ye football gods?!? Was Denard's elbow not enough?!?

Although its nice to be informed (thank you), i think I would feel better if I was able to punch you in the face the moment I read this.

That's huge..yes we have depth, but hes an all American. Fuck

Wow...I was so excited for this years linebacker group. God damn it this hurts

Soul dong shot

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:(

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

There's an alternate reality in which a perfecty healthy Blake Countess and Jake Ryan are both coming back off of All B1G seasons and getting ready to lead the back 7. Fuck this shit.

What are the chances he plays this year at all?

Fuck

Fuck

Best player on the defense out until 2014?  Yep, that sounds about right.

is arguably the worst news ever

Hope him a speedy recovery. On a sidenote, whoever it was that downvoted this thread is an absolute jackass.

It's not an easy thing to do when you're itching to get back out there, but I hope he waits until he's fully recovered to return. Sometimes guys come back too quickly and reaggravate the injury.

Is Dr. James Andrews in Ann Arbor yet?

Shit. This is no bueno.

At least we have a fifth year senior to back him up? That's all I got.

I know he already redshirted a year, but what are the chances that he can get medical hardship?  I mean, we have seen the NCAA do this before, no?

no no no no no no no

On defense in 12 month span for a college football team?

Is it too early for a "What are you drinking?" thread

On the positive with his medical redshirt he will be able to have even longer hair and by his senior year he will turn into a lion.

can someone please start the "look on the bright-side!" thread? items include:

1) you always wanted to see how far you could jam a pen into your thigh?

2) his hair will be super amazing next time he steps on the field

3) injury redshirt means one more additional year of Viking rage

4) see #1

Fuck. That is all.

Dang, that really hurts.  Our best playmaker on defense out for the season...ouch.  At least we have decent depth here.  I know Gordon will get the start but, McCray...will need to be ready to contribute immediately, no RS for you.  Man, that hurts 2 years in a row to lose a top playmaker to an ACL.

Brennen Beyer to SLB?

One good thing to come out of this; unless he's had a previous year in that same ACL, they generally come back stronger than they were. After the second tear however...not so good my friend.

My god! WHY!

Might hit the bottle after work.

damn damn damn damn damn DAMN!

Recovery time for ACL tears is 6-12 months. Most definitely out for the season. Damn, Damn, Damn! Someone will step up, someone will step up, someone will...

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to moving Bolden to SAM as a backup to Gordon...  We have several capable inside linebackers.  I wasn't a big fan of Beyer at SAM, but at least he has experience there and we would still have two weakside ends with playing experience in Clark/Ojemudia.

I tore my ACL in high school (ACL only). I was cleared for full contact and explosive exercises 3-4 months later. So maybe there's an outside chance he could be ready to play by season's end?

Sorry if I'm trying to be too glass half full, here.

The ACL God hates us.

threw up

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!  This is some Iowa voodoo...I know it!

You need disrupters on defense and Jake was easily our most disruptive player.  Even when he didn't make the tackle, Jake was blowing up plays all year long.

You aren't going to replace a guy like Jake, period.  What you have to hope is that several other guys step their game up, if they don't the defense is not going to be the same.  I thought our defense was going to have to have several guys step up to be close to as good as last year before Ryan was lost, now it's just really important that young guys develop quickly.

We've basically lost our 5 best players(Ryan, Roh, Demens, Kovacs, Campbell) off that defense from last year and a 6th (Countess) is coming back from ACL surgery himself.  I have faith in MAttison though that we will still be able to field a top tier defense.

Best player on defense. Sweet

At least these ACL tears aren't happening to our best defensive players. Oh, wait. What? Fuck.

The expectation is for the position.

....on the way back from lunch, then saw this thread. Terrible news, and I wish Jake Ryan a speedy and full recovery. His presence and production will be missed out there, but all the same, Hoke's comment did remind us, I believe, that JMFR can still be just that in a way, even while recovering:

"I know he will attack his rehabilitation just like he does everything else and will be back when he's ready."

Still, in the interim.....damnit. 

You know it's bad when Brady Hoke admits it.  Not just a Boo Boo, unfortunately.

Now, the best we can hope for his a "medical" for a sixth year.  

ACL takes our best defensive player in back to back years.  How many other teams can say that?

Man what a gut punch. He was so fun to watch, hope he can make it back healthy!

Same with some guy named Bledsoe. Next Guy up, this is football.

*(^&%#%$@#%(^^%^_))+&*(&^$@#!@$%$(&_)(+)(*_*)^(^$*&@#*$^%)*)(_)_)(*&^%$#@$%&*()_*(&#$%^&*)(&%%$&*(^*()*_(**(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

I think he'll get a medical redshirt. The only positive spin that I can put on it is next year's linebacking corps will have a hell of a lot of experience on it...

Fuck...Cunt...Bubbles... fuck today...

I'm sitting in class about to take an exam I didn't study for, and I'm more concerned about this news.



GAWD DAAAAAAAMMIT

Well... if that doesn't take the cake.

I cant believe this shit. This will be a tough one to swallow.

For my first post

FFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk! : /

Don't shoot the messanger...but damn messanger...I mean C'MON!!!

At least I hope his hair made it out ok. :)

i got that sick feeling in my stomach.. you know the one.. 

Well that sucks for Jake

 BUT

Cam MotherFucking Gordon will be ready to go!

Anyone care to speculate on who becomes our backup at WILL assuming Morgan moves permanently to MIKE?  Bolden seems like the backup at SAM and/or MIKE and Ross is the starting WILL, right?  Will Poole, Jones, even McCray back up Ross?  Basically how does this shake up the rest of the linebackers?

The only thing keeping me from tears is knowing Cam is a senior with experience, and he did at one time show some promise. Got beat out because JMFR, obviously.



Please, Mattison, make it ok.

What the actual fuck! and he was redshirted. Fuck things and stuff.

Best of luck to JMFR on a full recovery. This still f'n sucks like getting dong punched by King Kong

After hearing this F*ing news I jumped off my kitchen counter with a noose around my neck.  Lucky for me my counter is only 3 feet high  and I had 6 foot of rope but I meant well.  I decided to come here to vent instead of trying again.  JMFR you will be missed this year!  I'm still hoping to play Ohio in back to back weeks at seasons end!

Fuck is the only appropriate word. Fuck fuck fuck.

I wish JMFR a quality recovery.

While trying to navigate away from this horrible news, I accidently bookmarked it. Not the thing I want to be able to find easily. I'm not past the denial stage yet!

Wow...So many "F-Bombs" again and again on this site.

I won't allow my 12 year old to read about his favorite team on this site because of the lack of common maturity when posting.

Dropping the "F-Bomb" every other post just shows a lack of maturity and credibility.

When are the administrators going to start cracking down on the language?

It just lowers this blog site's reputation and credibility.

Will Heniger (sp?) tore his ACL on march 30, 2010 and dressed the last 6 games. Plus we got Cam gordon.

First off, before I start venting, I hope Jake has a speedy recovery, and we can see him on the field whenever he is ready. His presence on the field is going to be sorely, sorely missed.

Michigan must be second to Purdue in terms of bad injuries to key players. Countess tears his ACL, Denard has a bad nerve injury, Fitz breaks his leg, now Jake MF Ryan tears his ACL.

I know we have solid depth at linebacker, and Ross/Bolden/Morgan will be great. But this is like a swift kick to the balls, and then when you're lying on the ground crying in pain, you get kicked in the balls again just for the hell of it. Torn ACL's are bad no matter who they happen to on our team, but in terms of having to replace production, this could not be any worse on the defensive side of the ball. Its probably the equivalent of losing Gardner, Gallon or Lewan on offense for next year (for the love of all that is holy, knock on wood).

At any rate, Cam Gordon is going to have to step the fuck up, and Mike McCray can probably kiss a redshirt goodbye. His level of talent might have gotten him playing time anyway, but now he's going to be expected to contribute from Day 1 instead of hoping for mop-up duty. Not the kind of pressure I want on a true freshman. If only he could have been an early enrollee. We've got a LOT of tackles, sacks and TFL that we've got to replace right now. If there's any silver lining, at least it happened now instead of Fall camp.

Given the situation, I feel closing with the following is only appropriate: FUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!

and the only thing that will make this better is if the bball team goes deep. otherwise ill fall into a deep depression

stuff", but it tastes a lot like BS.

I hope it isn't as bad as the "Well Denard is out, but at least we got Bellomy" smoke.

You have got to be bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeepen kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.  Torn ACL is gonna need time to heal... UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Massive punch to the dong

fuck practice 

Extremely unfortunate, yes, but we have a lot of good depth at his position and if he doesn't return in 2013 it just means we'll have him for another year. Also, maybe he can make a freakish Adrian Peterson-like recovery, I wouldn't count on it though.

No no no no no no no no

to wake up to.  Speedy recovery JMFR

If this is not an early April fool's joke, then the AIRBG is doing some sidework in the off season. AIRBG you sir, are an asshole. Godspeed Jake.

I liked Ryan too.

Bad news...but I think he could return for the big ten season, right?  6 months from now is late september. i don't think his season is gone...

DG's redshirt year for a healthy Jake Ryan. Satan, make it so.

Shift Bolden to Sam? Or move either Beyer or Clark to Sam? Gordon will start but there needs to be rotation. can't expect McCray to step in right? Thoughts? We do have good depth here at least.

i'm not sure these press releases allow one to understand the exact nature of the injury, prognosis for recovery or time table for recovery. obviously, this is all protected, confidential information.

worst case scenario he is out for the entire year,- there is a lot of linebacker depth and a lot of options. cam gordon has been touted recently and might be ryan's replacement.

if devin gardner has a serious injury, there may be no viable options and the prospects for a winning season would be dubious.
