2023 Michigan Season Thread

[FearlessF]

I think this is a good move by Michigan's athletic department if viewed as an inoculation to protect next season where they play Texas in addition to the Big Ten games.

a better move would be a self-imposed 5-game suspension
and giving 5-game portion of Jim's salary to charity

UM's Ath. Dept. are a gaggle of feckless dweebs,why suspend Jeem for 3 games now?Are they afraid of Rutgers for the 4th? At Home? If they were worried about high standards they should have done this last year to him for allowing a felon with a gun charge on a plane 3 hrs after that event,WTF? That he was fully aware of

Michigan's Ath Dept is and always has been a joke- but that is what you get at an uppity school full of dorks and self-righteous wankers with an AD hiring pool that seems to exclusively be "Michigan Men" turd-nuggets who played for Bo like Dave Brandon or Warde Manuel. That "Michigan Man" crap....yeeesh.

Gimme SEC ADs and Presidents all-day long. Love the all-in big dick river boat casino captain attitude- don't give a F about anything but supporting the football program and winning football games- spending small fortunes on coaches and facilities- bending over backwards on admissions to get any kid into the school- looking the other way on everything- not giving a shit about paying players- and basically telling the NCAA to F off at every turn. Give me that all day long. Stop with all the pretension, self-righteousness and holier art thou attitude and all the pretending of being better or above the fray. Cause you're not. Just shut the fk up and win.

Michigan has no sack. They shouldn't have suspended Jeem one game, they should've told the NCAA to FK right off from the get go and refused to co-operate and answer any of their questions. They should've spent an army on lawyers immediately and just sued the NCAA for everything and everything under the sun. Seriously. Should've taken them to court right off rip, put $100 million into a legal defense fund- filed hundred of law suits and bury those shitbags in legal fees to the point where they just say yeah- f this and drop it.

Bunch of spineless, nutless, sackless pussies.

[MrNubbz]

Are they spineless yes but lawyering up when UM hardly has the moral high ground? Good luck selling that to any parents/kids thinking about grades and proper environment. Who we bulshitting those kids are going to ND/NU anyway and Jeem recruits strictly the portal now all the development is done - nothing wrong with that at least by today's standards

season cannot get here fast enough. Michigan has 3 dudes on the interior at tackle this year. 

Kris Jenkins- who had a 19.8% run stop rate- highest run-stop win % in FBS last year for all d-linemen- had 33 run stops- tied for most in FBS last year for all interior d-linemen- was a stud last year as a first year starter as a rs sophomore- dude put on 15+ pounds and is an athletic freak- was #5 on Feldman's annual freaks list this year- there's video of Jenkins doing a turkish get up floating out there on the twitters with a 175 pound dumbbell- so uh yeah he's a mutant- he's on the verge of blowing up into a very high draft pick with a level up 2nd year starting. 

Mason Graham- who started at defensive tackle as a true freshman- and was a hell of a player- PFF's highest graded true freshman DL in all of FBS with an 80.3 overall grade and a PFF Freshman All-American. Graham truthfully was probably the best true freshman d-tackle I've ever seen play at Michigan. Few ever play- let alone start and play at a high level like Graham. I honestly can't ever recall one starting and playing as a true freshman at Michigan like that and playing at a high level. He's about to level it up in his 2nd year as a starter. 

And they have a secret weapon who was the #1 pick in their spring game- who is going to be a terror this year in Kenneth Grant. Dude is so big he makes Mazi Smith look small by comparison- and Mazi Smith was just a 1st rd pick and that guy is built like a freaking brick sh!thouse refrigerator. Kenneth Grant dropped 20 pounds this off-season- dude might be literally the biggest most imposing human being I have ever seen in person outside of Jake Long. When I saw that dude in person last year he legit looked like an NFL player- not an 18 year old true freshman. Dude got into the rotation at NT as a true frosh last year backing up Mazi Smith- think he's going to be in for a big year.

Myles Hinton, the RS JR OT they got in the portal from Stanford- who started 16 games at RT the last two seasons- would've started more- only played in 7 games last year bc of injury- younger brother of former Michigan DT Chris Hinton Jr.- who was a former 5* recruit out of Georgia. Myles was also a 5* recruit. Dad is former NFL 7x Pro Bowler/3x All-Pro Chris Hinton Sr- the man who was famously traded for John Elway. Needless to say the athletic genes are strong in that family....have a tough time not seeing this dude start at RT if he's healthy....6'6, 330+....uhm how do you keep that off the field....dude looks like a monster....that is the size and frame that the NFL dreams of in a tackle...

[Mdot21]

Michigan announcing it's team captains today, guess is probably Nickel Mike Sainistril or DT Kris Jenkins on defense and RB Blake Corum or LG Trevor Keegan on offense. 

[Mdot21]

Michigan names 6 team captains, 3 on offense and 3 on defense.

Nickel Mike Sainistril
DT Kris Jenkins
LB Michael Barrett

RB Blake Corum
LG Trevor Keegan
RG Zak Zinter

[Mdot21]

Michigan football twitter announces the coaching duties in Jeem's absence...

DC Jesse Minter will be the HC vs ECU, ST Co-Ordinator Jay Harbaugh will be the head coach first half vs UNLV, RB Coach Mike Hart will be the head coach second half vs UNLV, and OL Coach/OC Sherrone Moore will be the head coach vs Bowling Green. 

Wouldn't be surprised at all if all four of those guys were head coaches in the FBS some day.
