Thank You Blake Corum
I feel bad for Blake. He’s played his heart out all year and is on the cusp of a trip to New York for his efforts. Will be interesting to see how that goes now with him hurt, Hooker out, and Stroud playing for a team that couldn’t even win it’s division. Regardless, I feel for him that he couldn’t push through it today. He looked so frustrated at first, but then seemed to embrace whatever leadership role he could take as the game progressed.
Great to see him smiling and encouraging teammates in the 2nd half. Was awesome that the coaches thought to put him back on the field for victory formation. Hopefully he’s good to go for the CFP, but that had to be tough to stay on the sidelines during such an emotional game. Thankful that other leaders stepped up, but am also thankful for his role out of the spotlight for this game.

I agree it was awesome to put him back in for victory formation
hopefully a bunch of seniors got on the field for that moment too

Blake's got football left to play, don't feel too bad for him!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:59 PM ^
Hopefully he’s 100% ready to go for the CFP. You get him and a healthy Edwards back there, along with a McCarthy who is starting to come into his own, then they can win the whole damn thing.

Similar to what RGIII said about the Texas running back. Some NIL donors needs to offer him 6-7 million to come back to Michigan next year.

Blake should have another game or 3 left in him this season. He is a stud, and we hope to see him decleating linebackers again, come playoffs.

Tough circumstance but he gave everything to UM since he arrived.& Heisman in my heart hope he gets the nod in NY.
November 26th, 2022 at 6:09 PM ^
It was sad to watch him on the sidelines in what should have been his day. I'm hoping he can come back for the B1G championship and the CFP.

Today was a 60 minute tribute to a wonderful human being and Michigan legend. And his season moves on!
November 26th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Hopefully he can go next week!!

Reggie Bush, on the pregame, said he suffered a similar injury to Corum and it shelved him for 2-3 weeks. So barring any set back, he should be back by the CFP. Provided we take care of business next week.
November 26th, 2022 at 6:26 PM ^
Thank you, Blake! Get better; there are great things ahead for you.
November 26th, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
We would have hung 100 on em with a healthy Corum.
November 26th, 2022 at 6:50 PM ^
Thank you Blake!!!
You have been an incredible asset to this team. Please heal up!
November 26th, 2022 at 7:38 PM ^
Was definitely amazing that Blake could take the field for victory formation! The team stepped up for their brother who played a big part in getting them to this point in the season 〽️

Mr. Corum:
You are one of the finest examples of a Michigan Wolverine in my lifetime. A superior athlete on the field, an exemplary leader on and off it, and a true gentleman in life. Generous with your time, and a consummate teammate, you are an embodiement of what it means to be a Michigan man.
Thanks for everything thus far. As today, we've got your back next week. Heal up for the CFP run and make yourself even more of a legend.

Frodo got the ring 99% of the way to Mt. Doom but needed some help from Sam (and unwittingly Gollum*) to complete the quest. That he couldn’t finish the quest in the end doesn’t take away the thousands of miles he carried the ring to get to that point. So it was with Blake Corum. We’re not 11-0 without him.
* Also, Gollum is totally a Buckeye

If he were healthy and had DE's day instead, he would have won the Heisman today.
November 26th, 2022 at 9:25 PM ^
In a just world, his embracing his physical limitations today and yet still being an essential part of our emotional hamblasting of Ohio should only improve his Heisman chances.
