All (non-medical) redshirts

All (non-medical) redshirts automatically take effect when a player goes the full year without playing. The program doesn't have to declare anything at any point.

Players have about 5 options

Players have about 5 options to choose from and they decide. All the attention on concussions is exactly why the don't select the helmet for the players... becomes a liability issue if you force someone to where a specific helmet and then they get hurt while wearing it.

The problem is that none of

The problem is that none of those evaluations occurred before he was sent back into the game.

Concerts

Concerts would be difficult to hold at the stadium. With the (narrow) tunnel being the only access point to the field it would be a big challenge to get all the very large stage/sound equipment to the field.

Twin Cities

The twin cities are for after practice and wearing around during the day, and they still get them. They've only ever played in Adidas though.

Filling in the rest

5. Gunderson

8. Furman

9. Paskorz

10. Esterline

Or the time out wasted after the review?

Brace

They're required to wear them in practice, but they haven't been proven 100% effective. Wormley tore his last year while wearing a custom fit knee brace.

Number 1

Can we use halftime to drop the 2 from Gallon's jersey? Dominant first half performance.

Anyone who's spent any time

Anyone who's spent any time around Devin can identify his voice/laugh - it's very distinctive, and he's always joking around so you get to know it well. I'll bet much more than Wahlberg's $500 that's him talking to Mark about the bet, and then laughing as the kicked ball sails over his head. I don't know where the DetNews got their info but they are clearly wrong in this case.

If you watch the video,

If you watch the video, Devin's not even the one kicking the field goals - he's the one recording.

He's not betting Devin, he's

He's not betting Devin, he's betting one of his friends that he came with. Otherwise, yes, that'd be a big violation.

Correction

Now that I have a bigger picture....



That's not Ross, it's LTT. Not Bosch, G. Glasgow. And it's Jibreel behind Funchess. Still can't tell who's between R. Glasgow and Wormley.

Back (L to R): Beyer,

Back (L to R): Beyer, Mitropolous, Schofield, Burzinski, Ross, Ojemudia, Gibbons, Bosch, Pliska, Strobel, R. Glasgow, (on my phone and can't see enough of who's between Glasgow and Wormley, sorry), Wormley, Bars, Lewan, Gunderson, Magnuson



Front: Washington, C. Gordon, Miller, Clark, Gardner, with Gant and Funchess in front right corner. (Also can't see enough of who's behind Funchess, sorry)



Almost earned that nickel.

Athletic Trainers

Thanks so much for posting this! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your experiences.



I'd just like to clarify a common mistake in regards to the difference between strength and conditioning coaches and athletic trainers. The people you spoke with about each player's individual training program are strength and conditioning coaches. Many have a degree in a related field, but there's no educational requirement to become a S&C coach. They simply must pass a basic test and then can begin work immediately. Obviously at a place like Michigan these coaches are extremely knowledgable and have formal training and experience, but at a lot of places they are simply former athletes whose only training comes from their own weightlifting experience.



Athletic trainers (which I happen to be, and spent two seasons working with the football team) are allied health professionals who work closely with team physicians to provide medical care to the athletes. All athletic trainers have graduated from an accredited 4-year program and have passed a comprehensive certification exam. The treatment and rehab Jake Ryan talked about is being provided almost entirely by a team of athletic trainers working under the supervision of a physician. We are certainly not held to the 8 hours of contact per week restrictions like S&C coaches - we're usually the first people to arrive in the morning and the last to leave in an attempt to get injured players back participating as quickly and safely as possible.



Sorry if this is too long, but as an athletic trainer I felt it was an important distinction to make. I'm no longer working with the team, but the two seasons I spent with them were some of the best years of my life. Having worked with these players every day I got to know them all very well, and your experiences perfectly describe them as I came to know them. Thanks again for sharing!

Nob Hill

Second the suggestion to check out Nob Hill Apartments, although you may be a little late in the process to get in there (they usually fill up very quickly). But if you can get in there I've lived there for two years and highly recommend it. It's catered more for grad students/young families so it's unbelievably quiet for being a block from the stadium, even on gamedays. And it's within walking/biking distance to anywhere on central campus you'd want to go.

Congrats

Huge congrats to Shoelace, and congrats to BWC getting picked up by the Jets!

WE ON

to the championship!!!

We have never been more on!!!

We have never been more on!!! We goin' to the ship!

Mitch McGary agrees with you.

That is quite a shot you are

That is quite a shot you are taking at the athletic training staff. I'm curious if you have some real info on this. I personally couldn't criticize them based on anything reported in the media because my experience tells me the media typically get very little actual information with regards to injuries. Care to offer any evidence that injuries "get misdiagnosed or improperly treated" to support your criticism of our medical staff?
