What happened to Blake Countess

Submitted by James Burrill Angell on
I was at the game and haven't been near a tv or radio since. What happened to Blake Countess. I know he was out there in the first quarter bu then he disappeared. Thought I saw him standing on the sidelines in his pads. Did he get hurt or pulled?

I saw Thomas Gordon after the game.  He was walking from the tunnel to the Golf Course clubhouse.  No boot, no crutches, no limp.  He was (with family in tow) walking slowly, like a beaten human being; but so were they all.

I'd like to see the official participation report.  I don't recall Thomas Gordon playing on special teams.  Dymonte Thomas did; but I don't remember T. Gordon.

I think the wierdest personnel issue in the whole game was that it appeared that Bryan Cleary was going to enter the game for a banged-up Devin Gardner in the second half with the game still on the line.  Cleary warmed up, helmet buttoned down -- looking like he was really getting ready to play, and not just warming up Jehu Chesson's hands.

Meanwhile, Shane Morris had a headset on the whole time.

I guessed that Devin was being examined, with the examination in doubt, but ultimately resolved in favor of his returninig to the game.  But what about Morris?

Reading fail.

Some guy said Countess should be benched.

I said he leads the conference in interceptions, and therefore, he should probably not be benched.

Nowhere did anyone say he's "elite" or "above criticism" or "the best corner in the conference" or "an All-American" or a "first round draft pick." You were given statistics, jumped to a conclusion about those statistics, and then got pissed when the conclusion you jumped to was a dumb one.

about the players.  Do not question the coaching staff, Dave Brandon, or oppose anything about the program.  You will be tasered if you disagree with what the Michigan football program is doing or demand to know anything about anyone within Michigan football.
