Jabrill Injury Rumor?
TIFWIW- Friend of mine who is an alum just sent me a text saying that his relative treated Jabrill Peppers at an Ann Arbor hospital after he punched glass and tore a ligament in his arm/wrist. Apparently out for the bowl game. Still nothing being reported, but just thought I'd pass it along. Apparently he has been seen in a cast around campus.
This is a rumor on Penn State's 247 site. Has anyone heard anything about this?

I can confirm I am a normal, mostly functioning person who punched a window at M causing some nice damage. It was over something very very dumb after many beers around 5:00 p.m. on a Saturday.
December 10th, 2015 at 3:50 PM ^
Yeah, I've punched a widow or two in my day.
Wait--it was a window? Oh, nevermind.

What kind of window did he punch? Is this like Pope-mobile type glass? It had to be something dang strong to break 3 fingers and dislocate a knuckle.
December 10th, 2015 at 2:16 PM ^
So he punched the Pope? He's going to Hell now.

Odd they would release this rumor on a Penn State board, but okay. Who knows if it's true.
I mean the DJ Durkin rumors seemed to be odd so anything is possible.
December 10th, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
It's been floating around elsewhere for several days. Frankly, I'm surprised that it took this long to hit the MGoBoard.

Too much drinking the last few weeks.

I would liked to have heard the conversation between coach and Jabril.

That's a strong assumption.

Pretty selfish to hurt the team like that if true.
Really disappointing situation, especially considering some of the negative rumors that are floating around campus as to why/where/when this happened.
Peppers was one of the keys to beating this stout Florida defense in my opinion.

Better not be over some girl!
December 10th, 2015 at 1:30 PM ^
What are these rumors?
December 10th, 2015 at 2:42 PM ^
I'm sure they'll be out soon enough. I, however, will not be the one to spread unsubstantiated rumors that I overheard on the internet.
The people that were talking about it were hardly the type you'd expect to have inside information on something like this. At least what they were claiming happened was a lot less severe than what I've seen on here so far. So who knows.
December 10th, 2015 at 3:58 PM ^
Thanks for alerting us to the existence of a rumor without telling us what it is. Our lives are definitely the richer for this knowledge.
December 10th, 2015 at 9:59 PM ^
But you made the point to let everyone know that you know, but won't tell. Cool buddy.
December 10th, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
Ah, yes. Jabrill is now beholden to all of us (the Michigan fan base) because of his prodigious talent. "Selfish" for risking our happiness over his own personal issue.
What a load of bullshit. Jabrill owes us nothing. I hope he makes wise decisions for his own sake, not due to some perceived obligation to people who have done literally nothing for him.

"The Team. The Team, The Team, The Team, and if we think that way, all of us, everything that you do, you take into consideration what effect does it have on my Team? "

Unless it was his own car window it's also vandalism.

National Perception is huge when it comes to recruiting.
A win against the SEC East Divisional Champion would be huge, especially when recruiting against the University of Florida in the future.
Florida's defense is the best Michigan will face this season. Peppers injury is huge.
This isn't just a tune-up game. You'd be foolish to think that this game isn't important in the coache's, player's, and recruit's eyes after losing our DC and getting blown out by OSU at home.
This game could be seen as a step back in the right direction.
December 10th, 2015 at 1:33 PM ^
If we beat Florida convincingly, we'll being next season with a high pre-season ranking (maybe top-10). Perception matters.

uhh...it DOES matter if playoff ranking is the ultimate tie-breaker to win the division, and starting off being ranked #9 vs say #23...as much as the committee says they use the eye test, rankings HAVE to count for something and having 1-2 losses as a 9 vs 23, there'd be a big difference..

The UNLV game was more important than a bowl game against Florida? Ok

Without Jabrill and several other starters. It's much harder to beat Florida with Jabril out. I get your logic with losing to a terrible team, but realistically this game is much more important for recruiting and the direction of the program compared to a terrible September team.

If this happens during UNLV week, Peppers misses as least half the season. This is not a one week injury if the report is true. Not great to have him miss the bowl, but I would rather take that than have him miss a chunk of the regular season.
December 10th, 2015 at 3:13 PM ^
I mean, as far as choices go, duh.
but ugh...

Normally I am in the "unless it's the playoff it's not that important" camp for bowl season. But this year feels different. The past 8 years have been nothing short of torture. Plus a win over the SEC East representitive will mask some of the bad taste left by the OSU beatdown.
December 10th, 2015 at 1:45 PM ^
Terrible news if true, but the bright side is the timing is probably the best for something like this. If this happens during the season he misses around 6 games or more with this injury. He may miss the bowl game, but he will most likely be back for spring practice and should be good to go for 2016.
December 10th, 2015 at 1:28 PM ^
Jabrill Peppers...the new Brandon Dawson.
December 10th, 2015 at 1:30 PM ^
What kind of window was it?
December 10th, 2015 at 1:32 PM ^
I wish it had been an Ohio State window because it would have meant he would have missed it ....
