Nervous to see how the offense performs against Purdue without Black but its nice to see at least his recovery is heading in a good direction

Good news for Tarik. Excited for his future as a wolverine and NFL player.

Here's a puppy:
Surgery Went Smooth

So would it be fair to say that his surgeon was a Smooth Operator?

"Coast to coast, LA to Chicago." --- what's that all about? Never understood it.
September 21st, 2017 at 3:44 PM ^
The Third Coast is the Best Coast!
September 20th, 2017 at 6:56 PM ^
Any less from one of the best hospitals in the world. Hopefully he can get healthy soon!

for Ol' Santana guitar solo
September 20th, 2017 at 7:01 PM ^
Smoothly*
September 20th, 2017 at 7:12 PM ^
Grammar has evolved a bit since 1865
September 20th, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
*Smoove
September 20th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
When he recovers he will be eating snickers and leaving garbage in opposing secondaries.
September 20th, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
so they know we've been in there
September 21st, 2017 at 1:05 AM ^
Hahaha! Best moment in all of Curb!!

Hopefully, he can use some of his downtime to work on his adverbs.
September 20th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
Teenagers on Twitter have a whole other linguistic structure
September 20th, 2017 at 8:46 PM ^
While we're learning new things, you should take a linguistics 101 course and learn the difference between prescriptive grammar (i.e. a bunch of rich old white people sitting down and codifying the one and only correct way to speak) vs. what scientists who study language consider grammar to be (fluid, varied, defined by use and the ability of other people from within the community to understand what the speaker is saying).
Here's a lesson for you, mr. or ms. know-it-all:

So basically, you believe in entirely unstructured language and grammar, that words can be spelled and mean basically whatever anyone wants? Doesn't that undercut the essential purpose of language, to convey common meaning inter-subjectively? Anyway, I think you are a titswaggle bin flapping dunder bergshit.
September 21st, 2017 at 7:47 AM ^
yes, as long as meaning is conveyed.
September 21st, 2017 at 7:51 AM ^
OK, been good. We not under.
September 21st, 2017 at 8:37 AM ^
Where did I say anything about entirely unstructured language and grammar?
AAVE has a rich structure. It has rules and conventions. For example, "he grinding" and "he be grinding" both probably sound incorrect to you. But not only are they grammatically correct within the grammar of AAVE, they also have distinct meanings. "He grinding" means "He is currently working" while the meaning of "he be grinding" is closer to "man, that guy is ALWAYS working."
There are about one and a half billion people that speak some form of English. To expect them all to speak it the same way that you do, and to insist that any other form of English is unstructured and random while your way is the one and only correct way, that's just foolishness and any scientist who studies language would shake their head at that kind of ignorance.
September 21st, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
You wrote that much on this topic? Man, you be trippin'
September 20th, 2017 at 7:02 PM ^
Glad to hear the surgery was smooth...
But was it *Santana solo*?
September 20th, 2017 at 7:03 PM ^
This is actually best case. He gets a medical redshirt and becomes a star while the other freshman receivers develop into stars as well. DPJ becomes a first round draft pick and Black has an extra year if he wants it to be a true number one receiver and star himself.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:08 PM ^
that's why I'm optimistic for some other guys to get their shot
September 21st, 2017 at 3:28 PM ^
I'd like to be optimistic, but there's a reason Black was considered the best of the freshmen, plus he's been here since January and knows the playbook way better than Collins or Martin.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:12 PM ^
a starter. I bet if he heals before the season is over, and we are in contention, he comes back.
September 20th, 2017 at 8:32 PM ^
We don't recruit 5 year players anymore.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
Hence him starting. Think it just sets it up for having two top notch recievers on the outside.
September 20th, 2017 at 9:00 PM ^
Why does everyone keep talking about medical redshirts? It's irrelevant. Just like Peppers, people kept talking about his medical redshirt his freshmen season. Irrelevant. He wasn't staying 5 years and neither will Tarik. Hope to see him back on the field this year.
September 20th, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
He's done nothing to show he is a Peppers level talent. If he does, great. If not, he has the option of an additional year. Maybe Nico and DPJ go off and he doesn't get as much publicity. Far stranger things have happened.
September 21st, 2017 at 11:48 AM ^
There has also been nothing that implies that he isn't as talented as Peppers. Tarik was more productive as a Freshman. Either way, comparisons like that are stupid, and the original comment didn't compare the two. The point was that there is a good chance the type of players coming into the program now will be moving on after three years, as Peppers did.
September 21st, 2017 at 12:43 PM ^
I'd always rather our best players play so I don't see a best case in losing a starter. Thankfully this is an area where we have a decent amount of depth talent.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:03 PM ^
Can't wait for Tarik to get back. He really impressed for being a true freshman.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:07 PM ^
Smooth like Nas' flow.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:08 PM ^
Can't wait for your return!
September 21st, 2017 at 12:43 PM ^
I see what you did there.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:17 PM ^
Awesome to hear. Take on rehab with EUTM. Get better everyday.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:19 PM ^
That is good news to hear indeed, as someone who is about to have surgery on my balls, it is irrationally reassuring to hear this sort of thing.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
You get to watch AND smell it burn. Lucky you.
September 20th, 2017 at 7:42 PM ^
Than endure that
September 20th, 2017 at 7:45 PM ^
Same here. Unfortunately, it's a non elective procedure.
September 20th, 2017 at 8:12 PM ^
anyway....
September 20th, 2017 at 8:21 PM ^
EXACTLY! XM gets it! I'd be lying if I didn't say the wife is freaking out more than I am. Although I suppose the silver lining is that she wants to take care of me for the week in out of commission. Can't complain about that.
September 20th, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
Now confirmed
September 20th, 2017 at 9:49 PM ^
It is another world of pain.
Depending on the procedure, make sure you have a trusted friend to assist in removing the post surgery drain tube.
Sure It's only 4inches long, but it feels like 4 fucking miles!
A week? Is that what they told you?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah /s
You'll do fine.
September 21st, 2017 at 7:44 AM ^
She wants to "take care of you" for a week after the surgery? Won't your danglers still be too tender??
September 21st, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
"Take care of her?"
"No man, take her out...show her a good time."
September 20th, 2017 at 7:30 PM ^
Oh? Finally getting some?
I keed, I keed. Best of luck my friend!
September 20th, 2017 at 7:45 PM ^
One slip of the scalpel and off goes your weiner. Good Luck!
