Broken collarbone.

I feel bad for the guy...this could have been a huge breakout year for him, although the freshman QB likely wouldn't have helped matters (especially since it isn't Tate). Whether he spurned Michigan or not, I still like to root for the local kids to make it big.

bad luck this preseason. Maybe its karma for the alleged misconduct with Bush.
OSU must be licking its chops.
August 29th, 2009 at 8:20 PM ^
OSU is now only wetting themselves instead of shitting themselves.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:41 PM ^
Shit i did and i'm paying twice as much as I would at M
August 29th, 2009 at 7:41 PM ^
Ugh, of all the injuries I've had, that one was, by far, was the most painful. I feel bad for him because of the injury but, he doesn't play for M and, therefore, am ambivalent.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
It is a loss for sure but Ausberry, Cameron and Carswell will fill the gap left just fine. Damian Williams is still a beast and will be a major target for whomever is under center.

The Football Gods seem to be setting up an OSU victory over USC. Since I am now incapable of ever, ever cheering for OSU, I am becoming a bit concerned.
August 29th, 2009 at 8:02 PM ^
but the big10 needs a victory over a USC-type team. However, assuming an OSU victory, im sure the detractors will sight injuries and minimize the victory's significance.

I too cannot root for osu. We need not worry though, the only diffrence between starters and backups at USC are the class in which they had 5 stars. osu will still be overmatched.

Living near Dayton, Ohio means I am forced to deal with stupid buckeye fans. Example: 5 year old kid who has been brainwashed to tell any Michigan fan to "fuck off", that Michigan sucks, etc etc. Example 2: Guy who 5-6 years ago couldn't name a player and probably still couldn't talking shit about how Ohio State rules. My point is that I can never root for Ohio State, because of everyday dealings with these "fans". Watching last years USC/OSU game with my friend, graduate of said hated university made my season, and I am hoping that happens again this year.

When did ROJO go to USC? I thought Michigan State always gets the top in-state talent? He must have transferred, no? Didn't qualify at state, had to go to USC?
August 29th, 2009 at 8:28 PM ^
I heard that he's been a silent Michigan commit for months now.

[was a three-star!]
August 29th, 2009 at 8:43 PM ^
[night games and maize jerseys!]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:45 PM ^
Not so much, night games yes, dont touch the uni's

I played against him in high school, and though he didn't choose Michigan I still like to follow him. So I hope he recovers well.

ROJO or not, for the sake of the Big Ten I hope that TUOOS absolutely bitch slaps USC. Its the only chance the Big Ten has before bowl season to look decent against a significant national opponent. And it will make us look even better hanging 40+ points on the defense that shut down USC.
