I can't imagine Minor NOT playing in this game. I think he'll tell the coaches whatever he needs to so that he can get on the field for his last battle with tOSU. He's been a warrior all year - hopefully, he'll be able to see the field on Saturday!

We definitely need some MINOR RAGE if we want to stand a chance.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:54 PM ^
Yeah...I don't think there's any way that Minor stays out of this game. There's nothing to get healthy for. He may not start or get 20 carries, but I'd bet a chunk of change that he'll play, even if it's just goal line or short yardage.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:09 PM ^
What? I thought Carlos Brown was the short yardage/goal line back?

This is the first time I've ever laughed and subsequently banged my head on the keyboard at the same time.

lend him my shoulder.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:56 PM ^
Became my favorite player after his 4-down goalline performance in last years game. I find it tough to believe he wont be dressed and begging for some work on Saturday. And he'll get it.

Again, to reiterate what Magnus is saying, I think you hold nothing back in this game, because this is it. Granted, we don't want to screw up Odoms so he is sidelined during winter workouts and whatnot, but these guys need to be in the game.

Sigh...What's our record if Minor is healthy all year, and we can just pound away for 5 yards whenever we feel like it? That's at least worth 1 more win, and bowl eligibility, right?
November 18th, 2009 at 5:05 PM ^
Probably his last game at Michigan unless we pull out a win and make a bowl. He'll play. Plus, I like the reliability of RR's injury report much better. You know the one: the one that did not have Minor or Brown on it last week.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:19 PM ^
why do I feel like he is going to be listed as "Doubtful: (shoulder and ankle)" retroactively two years after he graduates.
It's just too bad. He could have had a really good career here had he been healthy.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
I'm all in favor of "being a warrior" and toughing it out, but there comes a point where I'd rather see a healthy back-up play.
Look, the idea of an injured Minor forcing us to victory sure sounds like a great story, but not everyone performs like Michael Jordan when they're sick. The last thing we need is a guy limping and fumbling around etc.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:32 PM ^
injured chris floyd limping all over the field in the 97 game because he knew how big of game it was....
November 18th, 2009 at 5:42 PM ^
If Minor doesn't play, what little chance we have of winning this game is completely gone. He needs to be on the field.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:20 PM ^
because he's a Senior.
because he's the leader of the offense
because he will named a captain tomorrow
because he's going to make sure it's not his last game
because he knows he's needed as a blocker on passing downs even if he can't run 15+ times
November 18th, 2009 at 8:59 PM ^
makes me think of Henne's injured shoulder a couple of years ago in the GAME. Sigh....
