OT: Denver Broncos sign TE Nick Vannett to be 5th rostered tight end
Slow sports month, but might be an interesting story for those still following former Wolverine great Jake Butt's career:

It makes for a crowded position group in Denver now with 5 total (former Big Ten) TEs on the roster:
- Michigan's Jake Butt
- Iowa's Noah Fant
- Wisconsin's Troy Fumagalli
- Ohio State's Jeff Heuerman
- Ohio State's Nick Vannett

We should've beat FSU in that Orange Bowl.

Gotta love those big game early no-shows from Harbaugh.
That game was terribly frustrating.
It was very frustrating.
That Dalvin Cook fella was a slouch that our LB's should've been able to shut down. Our O-line should've manhandled them. Our overall team speed should've matched theirs.
Also in hindsight, since him and Ben G are both Vikings their skill level must be the same and true Freshman Metellus in his first game action should've filled in for Peppers seamlessly.
Harbaugh hindered all those things from happening since Hoke recruited so well and there was no gap.
I'm not surprised that that was the beginning of the vocal minority starting to clear their throats to step up to the microphone, especially following that Even Stevens, non-mismatch in Columbus.
Wasn't Michigan the favorite going into this game? Guess the handicappers and bettors didn't realize all of those excuses you made.
They never do.
Also, Peppers was a scratch on game day during warmups.
FSU needed every bit of their heisman finalist that game.
Michigan’s was a scratch before the game.

That loss was terrible. FSU was good, but THAT is an example of a team fucking up and losing the game for themselves - not OSU.

Denver loves the B1G

LOL - I was going to say. Not just 5 Tight Ends, but 5 B1G Tight Ends! Hoarding them like toilet paper!
I've never thought that John Elway knows what he is doing as a GM. But folks in Denver love him, so he gets a long leash.

In three years on campus, Peppers played in zero bowl games. I blame Dalvin Cook’s great game on Peppers not being on the field.
What were the reasons each year? I can't remember.
2014: injury/redshirt/team went 5-7
2015: hand injury during bowl prep
2016: hamstring during bowl prep
I actually remembered the other two, forgot the '15 reason though.
The rumored wall punching after the OSU game.
That Florida bowl game might've matched the '16 Rutgers score had he played.
