Corum is having knee surgery
Sources: #Michigan star RB Blake Corum is expected to have knee surgery and is out for the season. The Heisman candidate should make a full recovery. He tried to play last week vs. Ohio State but his knee made it impossible.

Damn

This would be awesome.
December 1st, 2022 at 3:10 PM ^
He comes back to win a heisman he can be a professional Blake Corum like Archie Griffin is in Columbus.
I have no clue what Archie Griffin does, except be Archie Griffin.
December 1st, 2022 at 3:25 PM ^
Own 2 Heismans is what he does
December 1st, 2022 at 3:31 PM ^
he should not have gotten the second one, Rob Lytle for Michigan should have had it that year.
December 1st, 2022 at 3:34 PM ^
and no one will ever get two. As a condition of employment, Ohio journalists have to sign an agreement to never vote for a guy up for a second Heisman.

for real, like where’s the signups to donate? i assume we can’t individually give him NIL money (without anything in return, right?), but why couldn’t we all donate to one entity and have them give it to him?
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:50 AM ^
The MGoBlog NIL collective. Blake can be the "official spokesperson" for MGoBlog, and his one obligation is mail a turkey to Ryan Day before The Game.
Good, right?
December 1st, 2022 at 2:31 PM ^
Dammit!
Well, we all said that JJ was going to have to step up to win a big game. He's done that. Now it's time for him to step it up 3 more times. LFG boys.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
Wishing fast and full healing to Corum! The rest of the guys will have a Heisman-quality cheerleader!
Let's go Edwards, Stokes, Dunlap, and our wildcat QB Mullings
December 1st, 2022 at 2:54 PM ^
This is the second time inside 20 posts - his name is MULLINS! Kalel MULLINS!!
December 1st, 2022 at 2:58 PM ^
Good thing you're angry.
The official Michigan football roster shows this:

1VaBlue1: "UM can't even spell its own players names right on the official website! Unacceptable!"
December 1st, 2022 at 3:12 PM ^
Oh shit, he was serious?!?!
December 1st, 2022 at 3:14 PM ^
I'm sorry, the card says Moops! (Paraphrased)
December 1st, 2022 at 3:23 PM ^
IT WAS THE MOORS!!
December 1st, 2022 at 3:26 PM ^
I'll take "Wrong in Public" for $1,000 please Alex...

This is certainly news inconsistent with a knee bruise. I was not expecting this.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
They probably were hoping physical therapy would work...you always want to avoid surgery.
Guessing that swelling and scar tissue building up and needs a scope and healing time.
I doubt they suddenly found something structurally wrong - acl/mcl - but they definitely want to avoid that if the knee is already unstable and weakened.
December 1st, 2022 at 3:13 PM ^
and not at all consistent with "no structural damage."
Unless something happened on one of those two carries?
December 1st, 2022 at 3:20 PM ^
Correct. What all that talk about "no structural damage"? You don't need surgery if that's the case, do you?
December 1st, 2022 at 3:56 PM ^
No structural damage can be interpreted as no ligament damage.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:52 AM ^
Or simply no broken bones. Given the timing of when Harbaugh made this comment I'm guessing that's all he meant.
December 1st, 2022 at 4:00 PM ^
I'm wondering if it was a meniscus issue. There are some meniscus issues that need surgery and some that don't. Sometimes it's a coin flip and up to the athlete.
December 1st, 2022 at 5:45 PM ^
I have meniscus tear now ( 4-5 weeks of healing and still hurts good at times )
December 1st, 2022 at 11:23 PM ^
I had a meniscus tear that was scoped in 1999 and I walked out of the surgery and felt normal in 2 weeks without physical therapy. There is such a large range magnitude of severity for this kind of injury.
(I was also 18 which was a factor)
December 1st, 2022 at 4:01 PM ^
The brace he was wearing Saturday suggested otherwise. That was the tip off.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:33 PM ^
- Cade leaving (albeit expected) before the season ends
- Mazi Issue
- Corum Out For Season
What a shit week following Saturday's high point.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
I mean, it seems like the Mazi issue is going to be an approximately 4-6 hour long panic that turns into nothing
Cade leaving was expected since September
I'll go back to watching OSU highlights now
December 1st, 2022 at 2:41 PM ^
All day, every day this week. Mrs. Hatter quietly wishing I didn't work from home.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:45 PM ^
Are charges being dropped?
December 1st, 2022 at 2:46 PM ^
Instant hype video material; will never get old.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:52 PM ^
I'd like to edit the ball for a B1G trophy
December 1st, 2022 at 2:59 PM ^
In addition to this wonderful highlight above and his other, PBU I noticed the completions OSU had were very tightly contested all day. Like fingertip difference, tightly contested.
December 1st, 2022 at 3:14 PM ^
I could watch this all the time
December 1st, 2022 at 3:28 PM ^
Michfan, your name checks out!
December 1st, 2022 at 3:40 PM ^
Drama is down the hall to the left.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:33 PM ^
Great news day for Michigan Football smh
December 1st, 2022 at 2:34 PM ^
Oh, the football gods are cruel!
December 1st, 2022 at 2:34 PM ^
That sucks that his career in Ann Arbor ends on an injury. He coulda shoulda won the Heisman after his jump pass and 200+ yard performance last week
December 1st, 2022 at 2:50 PM ^
His last play as a wolverine was him in victory formation against OSU in a 22 point road victory. Not bad at all
December 1st, 2022 at 2:34 PM ^
Then I find it strange he was in for a few snaps against Illinois and Ohio St. Also Harbaugh's "no structural damage" comment seems strange now. Not a doctor and didn't stay at Holiday Inn Express last night so I'm sure there's a lot I don't understand.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:36 PM ^
Hate to say it but a lot not making sense today.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:47 PM ^
I think it's pretty reasonable that there was an injury but medicine isn't some perfect science so they figured "give it a couple of weeks and see if the recovery happens naturally", they tried it a week later and it didn't take, and so he's opting for surgery now so he can be ready for the pros.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:47 PM ^
Guessing a meniscus issue. Fits bill for no risk of further structural damage but may require surgery.
December 1st, 2022 at 3:55 PM ^
Not an orthopod, but this is very likely the right answer. No ligamentous or bony injury. Unlikely his two carries in the game had an impact.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:50 PM ^
The Blue Wall bribed the Doctors to tell Harbaugh the knee was ok.
December 1st, 2022 at 5:23 PM ^
His knee was fine. Until the tunnel beat it up.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
If the injury was that bad, why did he even attempt carries in 2 different games after it occurred? Seems like the trainers missed big time here.
December 1st, 2022 at 2:38 PM ^
Wait for diagnosis. There could be a bunch of swelling and scar tissue building up and surgery is needed to clean it up and healing will take time.
Every surgery does not suggest structural damage.
