They didn’t show the reply because the bone broke and his leg was twisted sideways, you can see the trainers reset the bone right after the play. He is out a clean 6-8 weeks, but will have plenty of time getting ready to be a first rounder.

Llewellyn at the end in the keys has an I instead of y. 
 

i think saying Michigan only prepped for Farrakhan implying they don’t need to prep for Emoni. Similarly saying the rest of team is MAC caliber, implying that’s what Emoni is. I agree he wasn’t good at Memphis last year, and I agree you hit all the main points on strategy for the game (mostly make sure We play smart through Hunter). I know you blamed the recruiting industry, but the other comments still came across as shots at Emoni which defeats the point of blaming the recruiting industry. It’s a tough one to write because the story tonight is Emoni, as you noted you’ll be following that more than the game probably. It’s just how it read to me.

Wow, this preview is…

Wow, this preview is incredibly harsh. Reads more like a hater from rcmb talking about EMU than the typical level of content here… I don’t expect the game to be close, but EMU is a totally different team than last year. Emoni will be the youngest player on the floor. We all saw how unplayable Kobe was last year, and we are hoping for good things this year. Is it really so crazy to say Emoni is clearly a talented kid and we should respect his ability to make catch and shoot 3s at a high clip? If he tries to dominate the game and takes 20+ pull up jumpers, all the better for Michigan, but if he has gotten any smarter in the past year or humbled by his time at Memphis, I hope he can learn and move forward in his life. 
 

also have to say not a fan of calling the tournament the playoffs or misspelling players names on our own team

I knew it happened in real…

I knew it happened in real time - but it’s amazing this team only punted twice all game. The drive chart is legit, somehow Michigan lost the turnover battle with one interception in one of the worst ways possible and just dominated the rest of the game with touchdowns on almost every other drive. Four touchdowns and kneeling it out in the second half, and at that point in the game I think many Michigan fans including myself had hope, maybe even expecting those touchdown drives. 

Definitely only his 5th…

Definitely only his 5th. Class of 2017 with Livers.

Brazdeikis is above 40%,…

Brazdeikis is above 40%, Livers was 45% before going very, very cold in the tournament, and Poole is an okay 37%. Assuming those 3 guys start next year, Beilein just has to get them to get some assists and his system will get back to normal. 

He tied the freshman record…

He tied the freshman record for points in a game at UM (31 points) with future NPOY Trey Burke and was considered the athletic replacement for GR3 who went on to win the NBA dunk contest. That's the kind of stuff that announcers normally love to eat up.

This is on point. Any fan…

This is on point. Any fan who wasn't disappointed in leaving points on the field against MSU during the first half is crazy. The game was 7-7, and elite teams could've actually held on to the dropped pick, or an elite quarterback would've completed the open pass to a streaking receiver after Watson had an uncharacteristic slip today.

 

we can appreciate that this has been one of the best defenses to play on any team in at least a decade, and that we have a solid offensive plan to pair with it and grind out the game. At the same time, we can wish for a few more solid executions, a few deep balls when it looks like the opposing defense has figured out our base running play, or a few surprise plays (screens, rpos, etc.) that go for 20 yard chunks when it seems like we're stalling. VarBlue has a great post pointing out some of the offensive possibilities

 

We've definitely seen a mediocre offense let down the #1 defense before, but I definitely agree that it looks like this team has all the tools to put it all together.

Michigans D is the…

Michigans D is the unequivocal #1. Clemson is #2 and the gap from 1-2 is the same as the gap from 2-10. 

It will matter a little bit…

It will matter a little bit of how the teams look while winning, but 90% of the time a one loss Michigan to ND, away, in the first game of the year gets in over a one loss ND. 

Beyond that, you need big 12 and ACC and Stanford to stay undefeated. It isn't happening. 

Evans is definitely the…

Evans is definitely the starter next year? Unless there are some surprises by Jim/ Pep, there will be plenty of situations where they want someone other than Evans. I can see Turner getting 30-40% of quality time snaps next year. 

WRs are definitely set. I hate that Black is injured again, but hopefully it works for the best and Michigan is able to reload a WR1 year over year who has already shown flashes of being WR1. 

Metellus will very likely be around next year. I definitely think Dax will see the field, but at safety he will eat into more of Hawkins minutes than Hawkins'. Don Brown likes to get some of his best guys minutes at viper, there could definitely be some different looks next year especially if Hudson can leave early. 

The OL looked okay today, and OL always take time to develop. There are 4 returning guys out there, and the second-third string freshman look fine. It's always better to have more bullets in the chamber, but I would be very surprised by serious (bottom of the big 10 style) oline problems 2+ years from now regardless of every guy developing perfectly. 

Kevin Sullivan has only been here

Kevin Sullivan has only been here for a few months. Things look great so far, but that a large portion of that has to be attributed to Gibby's training. There's definitely the potential for him to be a great coach, but to say what he's already done is unbelievable is a huge overstatement. Gibby coached the xc teams to be national contenders, but a coaching change was needed because there were only 2-3 guys who had broken 4 minutes in the 1500m. Track championships are important, too. 

no

No, the school only offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Arts, both in Art and Design, and a BFA in interarts. There are no specific majors like graphic design, photography, or woodworking although the school has courses in all these areas and you can concentrate most of your sophomore/ junior/ senior years on a single area. All A&D students graduate with either the BFA or BA, although some choose to do a dual degree with another school (commonly Music Theater and Dance, Engineering, or LSA).

You're not alone. I'm

You're not alone. I'm in Germany, so it's pretty much required to be drinking by this time of day. So I'll second 14-0.

11 games into the season, Michigan is undefeated and Devin Gardner has put together and impressive resume for his Heisman campaign. He seems to secure his standing as the Heisman favorite with over 300 all purpose yards against ohio heading into the 4th quarter as Michigan leads The Game. Ohio is forced to punt, and Devin looks at Brady Hoke who simply nods. One person notices it and moments later everybody is in awe as Gardner lines up as the return man. It's a fairly deep punt, but the crowd is going wild as Gardner jumps up the middle between two defenders, evades a tackle and breaks another, and then he's cruising up the far sideline to score a touchdown. He comes around, strikes the heisman pose, and it's set in stone. The sky splits open, Bo is risen from the dead, and the college football gods declare 100 years of Michigan dominance.
