No stream or anything. Just being tweeted out by @umichfootball on Twitter.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
Is this good or bad? I'm going to just assume bad. I expect him to leave, I honestly don't see why you wouldn't.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
Roll the dice.......try and stay healthy, win the big ten and be the #2 pick behind clowney next year.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
Naw, go AHEAD of Clowney since Taylor owned him.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:13 PM ^
cept when he forgot to block him on a play that changed the game
January 9th, 2013 at 6:17 PM ^
That wasn't on Lewan, it was Kwiatowski(sp?) IIRC.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:51 PM ^
If you are talking about the Vincent Smith hit, Taylor gave the call to his teammate and his teammate did not make the play. I was not a Taylor Lewan slappy until I heard him not throw his teammate under the bus for that major f up. Goofy guy, but major class act. Cannot believe he is coming back. MAJOR benefit for all of those young stud lineman to see an All American in action. Huge news. I would imagine this would impact a RB recruits decision a little too (I get to run behind the best lineman in the country you say?)
January 9th, 2013 at 11:31 PM ^
lewan wasn't blocking him -_-
January 9th, 2013 at 6:11 PM ^
His dad's there? He's leaving.
Edit: I WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY WRONG! WOO!
January 9th, 2013 at 6:00 PM ^
goodbye sweet prince
January 9th, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
please stay please stay please stay

There is a difference between hoping he stays and not understanding him leaving. I think most Michigan fans want him to come back but totally understand why he would leave.
Also I doubt he goes top 5 based on the draft predictions I've seen, but top 15 is realistic.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:03 PM ^
Taylor Lewan is fashionably late for his own press conference. I'm not sure whether that's Twosie Taylor or 2012 Taylor...
January 9th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
how do you embed tweets like this?
January 9th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
January 9th, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
Plenty of players have had press conferences to announce staying. Trey Burke, Matt Barkley etc.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:04 PM ^
I wish him well. I'm confident he'll have a very successful NFL career. *silently weeping, whispers "please stay"*
January 9th, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
And in other foregone conclusion press conferences Denard will announce at 7:00pm if he will insist on being drafted as a QB, at 8:00pm Al Borges will discuss how use of the Bubble Screen impacts his offensive gameplanning and immediately after the Nebraska game Trey Burke will let the world know if he plans on returning for his junior year.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
on all three?
January 9th, 2013 at 6:15 PM ^
Yes. And it's exactly the same chance we have the Taylor is returning IMO.
EDIT: So we can look forward to seeing Denard as an NFL QB, Trey back next year and still not sure about Al and the bubbles though......
January 9th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
Are we selfish for wanting him to stay? Jake Long did it and boosted his draft worth. I'm not going to hate him or be disappointed if he leaves. I'll be happy for him.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:07 PM ^
No one is being selfish. We all want him to stay, but we'll all be happy for him if he chooses the NFL.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
There is nothing wrong with selfishness.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:07 PM ^
Mike Farrell is reporting now that Derrick Green is NOT going to visit Auburn this weekend. Good news comes in twos! (I made that last part up)
January 9th, 2013 at 6:08 PM ^
I'm confused--what part did you make up? I only see one part.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
"Good news comes in twos." I did not make up the Derrick Green part
January 9th, 2013 at 6:21 PM ^
Do that again for something, please.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:47 PM ^
I've always been quite dubious of Brian's assumptions that he was gone gone gone, especially given what he says in interviews. I mean, the guy is a jokester, we know this. And so he says to the media "it wouldn't be right for me to tell you before I tell my team." We should have figured there was a chance he was playing all of us.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:08 PM ^
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
that info is my kinda twosie :)
January 9th, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
See above subject line.
January 9th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
Wheres the music?
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
HE'S BACK
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
This is good.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
It's at Junge center if anyone is in the area, apparently.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
Taylor Lewan has announced he is STAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
Holy great news!!!
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
HE BACK YO
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKKKKK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
Taylor Lewan will return to the University of Michigan.
I think this calls for a Posbang
January 9th, 2013 at 6:10 PM ^
He's comin' back.
