B1G Media Days July 23-24 (Michigan Last Tomorrow)
Coverage begins at 12:30 pm ET tomorrow. Michigan's Jim Harbaugh will speak to the media last on Monday. There will be a couple of announcements tomorrow that provide a little insight into the program. After last week's news about Grant Newsome, I am sure there will be plenty of questions about his status. What are you hoping to hear tomorrow?

Always save best for last!
I’m excited cause this means FOOTBALL is almost back!
How did I miss last week's news about Newsome? I can't find anything online, either.. care to share?
Sorry, stepped away for a few minutes. Grant received some good news last week. He is a lot closer to being cleared. He has one more gate to pass through. Some thought he was fully cleared to participate in fall practice. Let's just say he is very close. Rivals Chris Balas wrote an article last week and covered it really well. I think everyone is rooting for him, but expectations should be tempered.
Good stuff, thanks Balas!
I thought I had overlooked it. The fact that NOBODY posted this on the board is yet another sign that things are not where they used to be.
I should add that Rivals John Borton and Doug Karsch covered this on the radio last week.
In addition, I was able to gather a little more on it. One close to it said, "he has a "chance" to make it back, but he is not there yet." So, this could go in several different directions. He could start practicing and not quite be ready, he could start practicing and do well, he still could end up taking a medical scholarship after all. It's all speculation until he is fully cleared and evaluated by the doctors and staff on and off the field as he progresses.
Bottom line, if there is ever a young man to root for, it is Grant Newsome. He has been a fantastic ambassador of the university!
I will be rooting for this wonderful young man, but if he's still not cleared yet it after all this time it seems pretty unlikely we can expect him to contribute much this year. Hopefully he eventually makes his way back, but he probably won't be our starting LT.
Thanks for the info umbig11
He's had "one more hurdle" to clear since the spring. Which may be the same "gate" he has to pass through now. Sounds like it's not happening, at least for this season.
Wish him the best of course.
Sounds like a split decision by the medical staff if I read that right, so if he can improve whatever worries are still possible issues, that's awesome. ..Amazing either way. Newsome playing would just make this season a miracle.
I missed it too but this is great great news for Grant. I really hope is he able to make a return, just to prove to himself that he could do it and did it!
Agree, he seems like a great kid.
Literally the only post in your posting history that isn’t a troll comment. Are you scared the mods are going to ban you?
“After last week's news about Grant Newsome...”
I clearly missed something. Do tell...
I hope to hear that Grant Newsome is cleared to play, but like everyone else - I am not sure what last week’s news was.
What was last week’s Grant Newsome news?
Lol, umbig11, your post sounds like passive aggressive click bait - knowing your history of sharing inside info we want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Tell us already!
1. Who the starters are (#HALOL).
2. Confirmation of home night game opponent and times.
3. How hard is Jim going to slap Mork on the back after they beat Staee this year.
4. Is Bench Mason going to play 100% of the available snaps.
5. Team Captains / Which game is C-Webb the Honorary Capitan.
6. I've lost my train of thought.
I'm interested in team captains as well, though we won't find out at media days.
My guess is Higdon and Winovich.
The Chris Balas article on Rivals about Grant Newsome's status is behind a paywall. That might explain why that news has been hidden from those of us who still check MGoBlog 3.0 for information about the 2018 Michigan Wolverines football team. It's good to be reminded that umbig11 has far more inside information about the team than most of us do.
Because of the "Glitch Switch" to MGoBlog 3.0, I don't always check this site as frequently as I did in years past, but when I do, I check the MGoBlog 3.0 mainly to learn whether umbig11 has anything new to report AND whether any fixes have been made. Stay Hangry, my friends, and Go Blue!
Sounds like a bunch of whininess on your part. 'I don't like it, so WAAHHHH!!!'... Thanks for telling us how much of a martyr you are because the site sucks so much!
That every offensive lineman looks like an All American.
Also, that the QBs haven't been able to complete slot fades against any safeties.
That Sean McKeon is no longer taking handoffs
That old Jim Harbaugh ?
Really hoping to see Grant make it back. It not this season maybe next season. The fact that he is this close is amazing.
I'm indifferent on national injury/availability lists but the fact that the conversation is now happening with gamblers in mind is ridiculous.
