Eureka!

Michigan grabbed an in-state 2024 who had options and gives U-M a guy with ace upside & two-way ability.

Hill is 6-4, plays football & basketball, can hit & plays the corner OF well with a plus arm.

He has a ton of pitchability on the bump with a funky delivery he hides well. Often leaves hitters off-balance & guessing. Rolls out a FB/SL/CB/CH mix that overlays at a high level.

Nobody shut down the OLSM lineup — 44-0 in 2022 & 87-1 since March 2021 — like Hill did in the 2022 state final.

As a junior against the best team in MHSAA history — regardless of sport — here was his line:

6 innings
3 hits
1 earned run
1 walk
9 strikeouts

Here’s the tape from that game:

Easily the best in-state pickup from Tracy Smith so far — which isn’t saying much, given the lack thereof. However, Hill, independently, is a pickup that’ll pay off long-term.

Can he enroll early? They need pitching NOW.

We have had 8 fumbles and have lost only 1.

JJ has had a few bonehead plays that were fumbles.

That iowa one that Edwards ran and recovered.

Does anyone seriously think we'd recover that one against msu.

A play like the Edwards fumble that an OL happened to turn around and recover is basically luck.

The turnover fortune tends to disappear when we play msu.

Last year we tempted fate after JJ fumbled and it rolled out of bounds.

And 2 plays later. Yep. Corum running without the ball is burned into my memory.

Why is this guy always a Debbie Downer?

Dude, if your distaste for our beloved Michigan Wolverines and all the kids that bust their asses all season is so great, perhaps you should just chill on the sidelines for awhile. Take a break.
It’s not so bad to enjoy our success!!

Go Blue!!!

*says they won't talk and let the pads do the talking*

*says the line the very next sentence 😂😂😂*

220 yards passing?

“Captain Obvious” here…People that hit baseballs pitched at them traveling 100 m.p.h. are quite talented.

That is all.

For Michigan to beat up on Sparty so bad they decide to quit the sport for good.

Who’s gonna be tailgating? I’m rolling with 8 of us, friends and family of mine tailgating at the golf course! So fricken pumped!!! First game of the year for me due to work schedule issues.

Ranked teams going at it at 7 PM here inside Yost.

Follow along here.

What’s legal to bring into the course for tailgating ?
cooler with adult beverages etc or anything prohibited?
TIA
Oh and
Go Blue

Which typically means the team is locked in and taking care of business in practice.

I’m told that the team is “locked and loaded” for Michigan State and are excited for the opportunity under the lights.

If that’s all I can get out of this week, I consider it a good thing. This team is ready.

Now that the NCAA clarified some rules around NIL, which appear to legitimize some of the gray area UM was wary of playing in, what are the next steps?

Are the hurdles cleared for the collective discussion to move forward and actually start getting traction?

Are there other areas that we can now pursue with the clarifications from the NCAA?

And lastly, what's a realistic timeline to begin seeing real changes?

I feel strongly that’s what this game comes down to for UM. Almost let it bite us last week. We know UM can move the ball against Sparty; however, UM can’t leave points on the field and expect to get them back like it did last week.

For one, UM has among the lowest red zone scoring rates in the country while MSU‘s O has one of the highest. (As an aside, that’s true on defense too with UM having one of the worst rates of points against in the red zone while MSU’s D has one of the best). Further, UM has a relatively low possessions per game; it will get pretty uncomfortable for this offense to speed things up if we get behind because they’re scoring 6s while we’re scoring 3s.

They were home. Ranked high. Better team. 17 point favorites.

We were horrible. Terrible offense. Some decent parts of defense.

M&BR's Brandon Justice, Lucus Reimink & Dennis Fithian pick every Michigan, Michigan State & Lions game on the schedule. Also, a trio of picks in college or pro, a lock, parlay and prop for the week.

Brandon Justice lock of the week: East Carolina +3.5 at BYU
Lucas Reimink lock of the week: Wake Forest -3 @ Louisville
Dennis Fithian lock of the week: TCU -7.5 @ West Virgina
