Where in the world is Nolan Ulizio?
He hasn't been mentioned on this site at all since being pulled in the MSU game, and the chatter at tackle is about JBB, Runyan, Hudson, Mayfield, and even Steuber without the guy who started half a season even drawing a mention.
Is he competing at all, or is this a Malzone situation where he is putting his head down, plugging through the course work, and prepping his grad transfer papers?

My guess is Ann Arbor, Michigan Alex, for $1600 dollars!
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
*What is* Ann Arbor, Michigan?
Well, technically the joke doesn't work because... ah nevermind.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
we joke, but for all we know he could be in Budapest.
August 23rd, 2018 at 7:58 PM ^
Budapest
Not the worst place to be, actually.
August 24th, 2018 at 1:31 AM ^
Budapest is awesome. Was there last spring and loved the place. Had some awesome wine that they don’t export and their version of craft beer that was pretty good. It’s the Paris of Eastern Europe.
August 23rd, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
My son spent a year in Budapest studying math, loved it. Budapest is a great city.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
On the bench.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:29 PM ^
these kinds of posts aren't necessary. this is a publicly available website, and you're essentially attacking a member of the team in that public space.
also, i can't wait for the ban on snowflake posts.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
I'm legitimately curious, not attacking him at all. Not sure how you got that.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:43 PM ^
I didn't see it as an attack either. But it's sort of in vogue on this board to first view everything in a post as being negative.
Some commenters just need to slow down before typing.

I’ll take “Slow down go tit’s” for $400 Alex.
August 23rd, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
Honest to God I keep laughing at this string of posts
Dont know why, other than the timing of reading this juxtaposed with how disheartened I am from contemplating the reality of systemic, societal, enabling.
it hit the right chord.
Thank you!

Says the guy who posted 6 pictures of Bradley Cooper...
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:16 PM ^
Totally unnecessary. We should never discuss specific football related questions on this board.
OT forever!
also... deep breaths dude.
August 23rd, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
This post doesn't bother me. I could tell from the title that it wouldn't be particularly useful or informative.
I am, however, beyond tired of posts about "person x's" scathing response to Urban Meyer. I am ready to move beyond this topic. He is a bad man, and many people agree. Now I want to get excited about the upcoming season. Enough wallowing in buckeye muck.
* As an aside, I truly believe karma will have its say in the life of Urban Meyer and the fortunes of the school who employs him.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:30 PM ^
My guess is that he hasn't been mentioned because he was a colossal disaster for that half season, and will probably never see the field again. No offense to the kid, who's talented enough to be a D-1 athlete and is probably working his ass off. But, it did not go well.
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:32 PM ^
I'll be watching Florida St this year to see how Greg Frey does with the offensive line.
August 23rd, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Frey is one of the best OL coaches around. He proved that at Indiana and with Molk, Omameh, Lewan and Barnum while he was with RR. Last year certainly didn't go well but remember he only coached OTs and TEs. Cole did well, there may simply have been a lack of talent for the RT. The excessive complexity that players complained about was probably a result of the dual coaching assignments. I expect that FSU's line will crush opponents this year.
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
He's been mentioned several times. But not as someone battling for a starting job, rather along with the rest of the OL who provide depth.
August 23rd, 2018 at 9:07 PM ^
Warriner OT’s have different qualities and skill sets
August 23rd, 2018 at 5:34 PM ^
Maybe he’s with Carmen SanDiego, Waldo and Matt Lauer.
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Nah, Michigan Men don't hang with Matt Lauer. He's a big OSU favorite though. Some might say a role model.
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:00 PM ^
I think you mean "where the fuckcicles is Nolan Ulizio?"
There's still time for someone to make their case to be added to Mount Negmore along with
Mr Yost
Maizen
somewittyname
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:53 PM ^
The greatest tragedy of the new site, and I don't think it's close, is that the vote totals did not carry over to the new system. The threads remain archived but the votes... have passed into memory.
What memories, though. What memories.
August 23rd, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Missed most of the offseason on the board...what happened to Mr Yost and Maizen?
August 23rd, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
I heard that Ulizio can recruit better than Beilein from umbig11, but he didn't post a link of his source.
August 23rd, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
Huh? What are you talking about?
August 24th, 2018 at 2:41 PM ^
It was a joke about The Fugitive's previous neg award posts. A combination of Maizen (Beilein negativity), somewittyname (last year's Ulizio meltdown), and Mr. Yost's (not believing your info was legit) hills they chose to die on.
The funny thing is the downvotes I got could be either people that didn't get the joke, or did get it and chose to participate appropriately, haha.
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:08 PM ^
He's been passed by those guys.
August 23rd, 2018 at 6:36 PM ^
Ulizio down the depth chart is a good sign, and in retrospect the fact he got a chance to try to prove himself last year helps underline just how thin they were on the line.
The fact we haven't heard anything about him means others have passed him by, I'll guess. Nothing more. But his experience is nonetheless useful in various ways, and he'll likely be very busy at practice, at least.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:45 AM ^
Exactly what I was thinking. Good development of OL elsewhere.
August 23rd, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
It is pretty strange for a player to go from opening day starter to totally buried so far down the depth chart nobody even mentions him. Can anybody else think of any other players at Michigan who had a similar fate, and not related to injury?
The only other one I can remember is David Underwood - he was behind Chris Perry in 2003 and started the season in 2004 as starter, before some dude named Mike Hart came along. But that was within one season, not from one season to the next.
August 23rd, 2018 at 9:06 PM ^
There was a linebacker who scored a TD against ND (maybe 2?) a few years ago. He lost his starting job and now I can’t remember his name.
August 23rd, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
Hopefully he is working his face off in the weight room and in practice, and any other way to better himself as a player, and a person. I didn't view the OP as an attack either.
August 23rd, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
If he was up your ass you’d know.....
