Tarik Black playing tomorrow?
First post of the board, sorry if I do something incorrect. Is there a chance Tarik Black plays tomorrow? A lot of rumors floating around that he might plus he just twitted this. Mods delete if this isn’t relevant.

Edit because I don’t know how to do so on the original post, announcers for the South Florida va Tulsa game said he was back tomorrow also. They could be wrong though.
October 13th, 2018 at 12:59 AM ^
Interesting. I'm not sure why they would just randomly say that. Would be huge.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:01 AM ^
I thought so too, I figured it was too soon. Would be huge for Michigan.
October 13th, 2018 at 7:28 AM ^
Yeah. That would have been a Brockmire-level out of nowhere comment.
October 13th, 2018 at 9:11 AM ^
And like a newly divorced man’s dinner he’s frozen...Strike 3 looking.
October 13th, 2018 at 10:43 AM ^
Looks like he hit an Italian boat because that ball is gondola!
October 13th, 2018 at 1:00 AM ^
South Florida / Tulsa announcers? Oh boy.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:02 AM ^
Trust me I thought it was wrong until I saw his tweet and what others were saying on Twitter. I’m not convinced, just thought it was interesting how it lined up.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:06 AM ^
I heard it too, but on a second watch/listen wasn’t sure if he was talking about being back for the game today or just for this stretch we have to come. It sure did sound like it, though!
October 13th, 2018 at 7:57 AM ^
Were they playing Counterstrike at the time?
October 13th, 2018 at 9:32 AM ^
I'm only good for insider recruiting info. I'm as clueless as those announcers when it comes to injuries. I'd prefer that he be held out if it means a greater chance of full weaponization later. I think we can beat Wisconsin without him.
October 13th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Thumbs upppppp
October 13th, 2018 at 1:13 AM ^
This pleases me.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
I'm more concerned with why you were watching South Florida vs. Tulsa.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:02 AM ^
That would be insanely fast recovery but very welcomed. Black-DPJ-Collins-Gentry, its time to unleash Shea. I'll try to hold down my excitement until he hits the field
October 13th, 2018 at 8:47 AM ^
Dantonio is in his hotel room right now devising a plan to injur his foot again.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:04 AM ^
A radio host on 97.1 also said he was playing today. I forget which host it was. Sorry for not being more informative.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:07 AM ^
I believe it was Wojo
October 13th, 2018 at 1:10 AM ^
Appreciate the assist. They all blend in for me mostly besides Valenti. Not sure if its good or bad he sticks out, but he does.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:57 AM ^
Valenti does stick out - just like a clogged toilet in the men's room.
October 13th, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
Pretty sure I saw Valenti walking down the hall carrying a plunger.
October 13th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
He carrys one with him all the time for his mouth
October 13th, 2018 at 9:26 AM ^
This is what makes Valenti good at his job, and your comment shows that. Don't get me wrong, I don't like anything he says about us, it's all blind hate. But objectively, he's good at what he does, as ratings attest, whether or not we like him.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:35 AM ^
If Wojo said it it's funny.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:10 AM ^
I watched the USF - Tulsa game. They seriously broke the news that Black is back today. I was also stunned by this.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:38 AM ^
I was watching that game as well. When Orlovsky said Black is playing tomorrow I yelled "he's not playing tomorrow, you idiot" at the screen and took a long swig of black cherry soda.
October 13th, 2018 at 9:43 AM ^
It’s “pop” jerk.
October 13th, 2018 at 9:49 AM ^
Or “cherry drink”
October 13th, 2018 at 10:15 AM ^
It’s soda-licious
October 13th, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
It's SODA dammit! SODA!
October 13th, 2018 at 11:43 AM ^
We call it POP
October 13th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
It's Soda.
October 13th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
It's a Coke.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
I must preface this by saying, i'm not from Michigan, but have been a fan most of my life... Been on the boards for years, basically just reading daily... I'm from Philly, and went to the same H.S. that gave us Victor Hobson & Jon Runyan Jr. In fact, I worked in We call it soda... was funny the first time I heard someone call it soda pop... but then when I met some people from Michigan later in life, and talking Michigan sports, I got into this exact debate... it's not even soda pop... it's just pop! lol
the other ongoing debate we had was sneakers vs tennis shoes... My Michigan homies would ask wtf are "sneakers", and i'd ask, did Jordan create a line of "tennis" shoes to play bball in?
October 13th, 2018 at 3:23 PM ^
Don't forget Hoagie vs Sub.
October 13th, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
You probably scared him right out the back of the endzone.
October 13th, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
What the hell is a “soda,”? Y’ain’t from round these parts are ya?
October 13th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
I grew up in the Mitten but haven’t lived there since 2004. I say soda now. But I have upvoted all the pro-pop comments and will continue to do so.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
Grew up in Michigan, have lived in Montana for the last 12 years. I say soda now, and it pisses everyone off back home.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
I'll join in. Grew up in GR, moved to CA in 2007 a year after graduating. I now say soda and my family hates it. Sorry dad.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:13 AM ^
I’m semi not worried about Wisconsin, but if Tarik does play and he’s at least 80% watch out. DPJ, Tarik, Nico, and Gentry? Plus Wisconsins shit DBs, I would think Michigan walks away with this one.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:15 AM ^
Not sure that Tarik would be an upgrade on DPJ or Nico given this would be his first game in over a year. But at the very least he would give Wisc something else to think about. And he'd be up to speed by PSU.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:01 AM ^
Trips right baby!
October 13th, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
Nico has elite athleticism but showed his rawness against NW. Last year in his limited time I thought Black was the complete package so I would like to see him spin today. Crossing my fingers...
October 13th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
The one great thing: we have three young studs with NFL futures as possible either a 1 or 2. And Martin is developing, too.
Either God or DPJ himself must have seen that one dumb post where the OP asked if DPJ is a bust, because he busted out since that week. Last week his one TD and his called back one just further showed how good DPJ when the ball gets to him.
Nico needs consistency, but he’s so good at so young an age. This reminds me of the plug and play development of the old days—and how Hill and McClaurin are developing at OSU.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:18 AM ^
I thought Harbaugh said in one of his press conferences that Black started running again?
October 13th, 2018 at 1:19 AM ^
Totally welcomed if back. Wishing the best for they hung man.

Hope he's back in a big way!
