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.

Big if true
October 13th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
It's yuuuge.
October 13th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
Best auto-correct ever
October 13th, 2018 at 1:22 AM ^
I think the tweet has since been removed, whatever that’s worth.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:23 AM ^
Lol, someone told Harbaugh.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:35 AM ^
Tweet has been deleted, it was the praying hands emoji, could mean something, could mean nothing. Just a lot of things looking like he might. Let’s just hope he’s actually healthy and not rushing it IF he’s on the field tomorrow.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:33 AM ^
Appears to have been deleted. What did the tweet say?
October 13th, 2018 at 1:36 AM ^
Praying hands emoji, but the replies is probably the reason he deleted it. Everybody jumped the gun and said he was coming back. Maybe it was a secret, we all know how JH loves to give injury updates (kidding).
October 13th, 2018 at 1:52 AM ^
FYI: The tweet was from Tarik Black's personal account.
Yes, LetmeRockk_ is Tarik.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:08 AM ^
No, he's not. Stop it.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:23 AM ^
Black is back. Avoid the sack
Been gone too long, I'm glad hes back
Yes he's loose. From the boot
That kept him limpin' around.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:32 AM ^
what you did there.....I see it
October 13th, 2018 at 8:48 AM ^
Black is back all-in we're gonna win check it out here we go again
Turn it up
Raise the roof

Rumor has it he's sporting a couple of new Jumpman bionic feet.
October 13th, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
Please rewrite in haiku format.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:50 AM ^
Here's to hoping Black is Back
October 13th, 2018 at 6:08 AM ^
But when he was told to go to rehab he didn't say No No No. . . .
October 13th, 2018 at 3:18 AM ^
Whether he plays tonight or not at least he's almost there. I felt terrible for the young man going down the week before the ND game. I was expecting HUGE things from him this year. The one positive is that other have stepped up their game and found their legs but I'm ready to have our top WR back.
Peoples-Jones, Collins and Black are going to be tough for years to come
October 13th, 2018 at 6:31 AM ^
For at least one more year.
October 13th, 2018 at 6:27 AM ^
Well, they said it's a 6-8 week recovery and its been 7 weeks.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:44 AM ^
Just don’t rush back and re-injure. Coming back next week 100% for those Sparty fuckfaces would be just as good.
October 13th, 2018 at 6:36 AM ^
That would feel good for me
October 13th, 2018 at 7:01 AM ^
Black is black! Crank up the AC/DC and run some four receiver sets against the sorry ass secondaries of UW and MSU!
October 13th, 2018 at 7:18 AM ^
Please be true... And Tarik please be careful
October 13th, 2018 at 7:21 AM ^
Tarik is dressing, so is Aubrey-Dwumfour is playing.
October 13th, 2018 at 7:36 AM ^
You serious Clark?
October 13th, 2018 at 7:40 AM ^
Don’t toy with me....
October 13th, 2018 at 11:17 AM ^
It's not your fault.
Not you, Sean. Not you.
It's not your fault
It's not your fault
October 13th, 2018 at 7:44 AM ^
Oh my!
October 13th, 2018 at 8:32 AM ^
Also hearing the same.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:48 AM ^
If Tarik and Aubrey play, Wisconsin is Dwumfour
October 13th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Don’t you dare play with our emotions.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:06 AM ^
I thought umbig11 said black would be back by nov 3
October 13th, 2018 at 8:09 AM ^
Today would be “by nov 3”, amirite?
October 13th, 2018 at 8:46 AM ^
You berite
October 13th, 2018 at 8:08 AM ^
Black, Solomon, and Dwumfour healthy makes us the B1G favorite IMO.
Passing game would blow up with Black on the outside with DPJ, Collins and the the tight ends controlling the intermediate routes, and Perry, Bell and dare I say a healthy Evans running screens and short pick/slants this offense becomes very complete. Shea has shown the ability to escape pressure...exactly what this offense needs given its main weakness (which has greatly improved), pass blocking. Throw in the consistent Higdon / Mason power game and gap/trap runs and suddenly this unit is very multiple and difficult to stop.
The defense is and has been, very, very good - and with some major injuries up front. Solomon, Gary, and Dwumfour back at full strength will make us absolutely brutal to consistently move the ball on.
This team, when healthy, is loaded and better than the 2016 team IMO, because of Patterson. If we don't get screwed in the Shoe, or stumble in Sparty's Super Bowl, I really see us being the front runner for the B1G.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:32 AM ^
I wanna disagree with you but I honestly can’t.
October 13th, 2018 at 10:05 AM ^
Why do you want to disagree?
October 13th, 2018 at 11:54 AM ^
I guess that came out wrong because I’m so accustomed to being disappointed and have pumped sunshine for years only to be junk punched. This time if everything comes together I actually believe I won’t be kicked in the dong.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:37 AM ^
Give me several of what you're having! Honestly, I think we could give OSU a serious challenging in that event. Get through today with flying colors, the rest of the season's gonna be fun.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:44 AM ^
Dude, I think in that event you might be fair to say we are more talented than OSU and SHOULD win in Columbus.
October 13th, 2018 at 9:29 AM ^
You're right about everything but the last sentence. OSU is objectively, a more talented team than we are. That's just factual. Now can we win there? Sure. But we wouldn't be the favorite by any stretch of the imagination.
October 13th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Our defense is better, more talented all around, and their best edge rusher might be out for the rest of the year. Our secondary is much better, and our LB’s /viper are superior.
They have a better running tandem and O-line. We have more receiver options when all healthy and you add in tight ends. Haskins vs. Shea is interesting. I’d take Haskins all day with a clean pocket, but get them off their spot, which good defenses can do, and I’d take Shea, who seems very much like a poor man’s (Baker Mayfield)- this is not a criticism but a compliment, mayfield is really, really good.
so our defense is better, our offense keeps ascending. They may have more individual talent and recruited ״stars” at given positions, but just like in 2016, I think we are a better team.
Hopefully they don’t win the penalty battle 200 yards to 5, and we don’t see a robbery like in 2016 again.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:25 AM ^
Well Harbaugh said a while back that Black would be meeting with his doctor on Oct. 9th, xrays must have shown it healed.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:47 AM ^
After having the exact same injury on his other foot last year, it stands to reason he knew exactly what it would take to get back ASAP. And it appears he did that? YES!!!
October 13th, 2018 at 8:25 AM ^
A few snaps would be ok. Probably no need to push it. I'm hoping his feet injuries were freak things and not a chronic thing.
I'd really like to see Kemp and a little bit from Solomon.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:36 AM ^
I’m with ya. I wanna believe it’s just piss poor luck and I’ll be holding my breath on every catch he makes.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:59 AM ^
Every catch you make.
Every move you make.
I’ll be watching you.
October 13th, 2018 at 8:47 AM ^
Yep - it's going to take the better part of the rest of the year for all of us to feel confident, whenever he gets back. But his route running and catching instincts add another weapon to an already difficult to guard, if not thin, WR outfit. The group of pass catchers this team has is the best I can honestly remember in my entire history of following Michigan football - nearly 45 years, going back to a few splashes of Denny Franklin.
If Shea and Harbaugh are ready to unleash it on the world...
