Caught up quickly with defensive end Jaylen Williams via text. He's taking his official visit to Michigan this weekend. Like @Josh Henschke I also think this one is close for the Wolverines.

"I’m really just looking forward to being back on campus and seeing the new staff at that place instead if them coming to see me," Williams said.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Williams end up in the class sooner than later.

My good news is that we are one week closer to football season. There is not a ton of news sports-wise, but there were some nice comments by recruits coming out of the big recruiting weekend.

My nephew is coming for a week starting on Saturday. He's 16, and we have a lot of fun things planned for him. I'm looking forward to spending time with him.

The weather is hot, but I like hot, so I'm good.

My granddaughter's swimming lessons are going great. She's 3 1/2 and swims like a fish. She has no fear of jumping in the pool and is currently learning to dive. It's so much fun to watch her learn new skills.

Life is good. I'm blessed.

What's your good news?

Go Blue

I think Cade would’ve won all the games except at Ohio State in ‘22 and all the games last year except the Rose Bowl. JJ’s 4th quarter drive against the Tide was a combo of clutch throws and an excellent qb run.

The last three seasons of UM football bodes well for the qb this year. Decent qb play can get this team 9-3 or 10-2. Good play from that position puts Michigan in play for everything.

Former Wolverine Jim Scarcelli joins the show and looks at the possiblity of landing recruits like Taz Williams Jr. & Maxwell Roy. Scar also picks UM & MSU's season records for the upcoming season while answering questions on the feedback regarding Michigan football.

My daughter's swim team (Sail Fish Wixom) is the host for State of Michigan Swim Championship for 14 and under at EMU July 19-21. We are in desperate need of some volunteers to help out at the sessions from hospitality to on the swim deck timers to a variety of other positions. I am the Chief Deck Manager for the entire weekend so I will be there from 6am to 10 pm each night.....yes lucky me....If you love youth sports and like to volunteer let me know we could use some help. There are three sessions (morning, afternoon and evening). Food and drink provided. It's alot of fun but unfortunately we have had parents not want to help out from tje team which is disappointing. I don't get it but we need 35 volunteers per session per day so we need about 10-15 slots filled per session per day as of now. It's at EMUs pool so if your interested hit me up. Go Blue.

That's big to be the final visit before he makes his decision in July. Still like Michigan here right now.

As pointed out in our visitor thread, there’s A LOT of positive buzz about 2025 DL Maxwell Roy right now heading into his June 21 visit.

Some I spoke to say he’s a commit candidate shortly after his visit wraps up but I am not ready to go full prediction but I will not deny the momentum right now.

....has anyone received an email on a firm date on football ticket packages?

Sometimes I get emails other times I dont.

M&BR has the list of expected visitors on campus this weekend.

Can confirm he is visiting though I do not have a day nailed down. Great work by Dusty May to get involved here. Michigan feels optimistic and they should. Business is booming.

M lost 7-6 to PSU in the 10the on a 2 run PSU homer in the top of the inning and Voit hit one for M in the bottom of the 10th, but it wasn't enough.

Denner takes the loss but threw 108+ pitches in relief.

Some big performances this Tourney all around.

We're losing a lot of players, but I'm looking forward to next year.

Go Blue!

Northwestern is playing the next two years at their 2000 seat practice facility🤦
Soldier Field & Wrigley would've been better options. C'mon NU.
Also, Michigan travels to play Northwestern in 2025. Good luck to anyone finding tickets.

Comment on Michigan scroll all the way to Tier 8

• It was rare for a casual fan to watch a game and think, "That J.J. McCarthy is the straw that stirs this drink." For one, that's a pretty weird thing to think in general. But more specifically, McCarthy's magic almost never showed up in obvious ways. For example, McCarthy had just eight career games against Power 5 opponents where he threw multiple TDs and no interceptions. Six of them came against Michigan State, Indiana, Nebraska (twice), Rutgers and Maryland. Not exactly a murderer's row. But the other two? Ohio State and Alabama. In fact, McCarthy made eight career starts against top-10 teams. He posted a Total QBR better than 90 in half of them.

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I don't recall seeing or hearing it in the news.

With the hockey college season over I haven't been checking US College Hockey online as frequently.

In doing so today, I read that Mark Wells, who played on the Miracle on Ice US Olympic hockey team which beat the Soviet Union in 1980, passed away last month.

Many may remember him as he played in the CCHA for Bowling Green and was a St Clair Shores Michigan native.

I've attached a link to the USCHO article.

Mark Wells

RIP Mark and thank you for helping give us a hockey memory we will never forget.

I just wanted to send a quick note as I would like the M&BR family to embrace and keep the family of @Anison in our thoughts in the coming days. His business is not mine to share but I wanted to let him know publicly that we are here for him and his family. The M&BR family loves you!

Mods please remove if you think a good ol' herniated disc question shouldn't take up space on the board.

So... I've been laying in my bed for 4 days now not being able to move. I bent down to move something the other day and sure enough, my back goes out and it's been 24 hours a day of back spasms ever since. I just coughed and thought I saw Jesus! This has happened to me once before, and I was able to just rest and get through it in about 5 days but this time seems much worse. All of my pain is in my lower back. When I move just a little bit I get bad, painful back spasms about 50% of the time. I've been trying to avoid getting picked up by an ambulance and giving the neighbors a show, but I may not have a choice. I've been using cold packs and taking some Tylenol and muscle relaxers but nothing is helping. Any suggestions for over the counter stuff that I should try just to see if it helps before I take the ambulance plunge? (Heating pad instead of cold pack?) We went on a family vacation about two hours away from home and I had to stay behind because I literally can't move other than 3 times where I made the incredibly difficult trip to the toilet that is ten feet away. I already know that I'm a dumb, bullheaded Neanderthal for not going to the hospital already, but any other suggestions to at least help me get through this? Anyone go through this? Thanks!

A second key 2026 QB target has set a visit to Michigan.

M&BR has the latest on a major 2026 quarterback target setting a visit date to Michigan.

Utu can be a tough read but he loves how much Michigan runs the ball:

So much to glean from this. Here's a quick synopsis:

National rank: 12
Win projection: 8.3
Loss projection: 3.9
Win out %: 0.7
Six wins %: 92.4
Odds of winning Big Ten: 7.3
Odds of making playoff: 28.5
Odds of making national championship: 4.0
Odds of winning national championship: 1.7

Recruiting is heating up just as the calendar flips for Michigan. A look back at this past weekend and a look ahead at the rest of this month for Sherrone Moore.
