Well done, Mike.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Wow.....leadership. Lots of parallels to leading soldiers into battle. I know other programs have leaders but M has soul deeply embedded in its football culture. It's being resurrected. HARBAUGH!!!!!!

[klondike]

And, right on time, the "Harbaugh to the NFL" rumors begin. End of the season = start the Harbaugh to NFL stuff...

He's not going, of course,.. but never let facts get in the way of a juicy sports rumor.

Yeah. But that stigma always hurts recruiting

It's the usual hot take garbage that sports writers use to fill space for a month while there are no big games.

Band of Brothers is my favorite war video. Especially "Why We Fight" and "Points".

Harbaugh = Lt. Spears

Brady Hoke = Lt Dyke

[Mike]

Harbaugh is probably more CPT Winters than Spears but either one works. I was more of a Captain Nixon fan, myself.

Most of you have probably heard this if not ...... Eric Al is entering the transfer portal. There was a comment posted on this forum that Iowa was looking to become M's B Squad. Probably better to post it if you knew Al was transferring. Would have saved me from making this post.

Wolverine nation〽️ Love you guys but it’s time for me to move on. I know some of you are wondering why I would leave and the answer to that question is unexpected. Not everything/everyone are what they seem and I learned that from my time here at Michigan. Sometimes you have to let go and do what’s best for you and your family. Love you guys. Go Blue

Schoonmaker has accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl (a tryout for the NFL). There's no shortage of TEs on M's roster. Loveland is going to be very good.

If I remember correctly, Erick All’s big TD vs Penn State in 2021 was so significant. That win helped propel M to the playoff.
He didn’t quite live up to the hype, but wish All the best. It would be interesting if All transfers to Iowa… making that Iowa team a must watch when M isn’t playing next season. I will admit about rooting for Iowa unless they play M/ Purdue.

Couple of interesting mgobard comments on the Al transfer ........ rumor has it he's going to Iowa with Cade. That his tweet sort of threw a hand grenade in the room as he closed the door behind him suggests he may have been asked to take a "medical." (not sure what that implies but here's the post.......

M has also been conservative with back/spinal injuries (See: Ondre Pipkins) and may have said he'd need to take a medical vs. getting a second opinion.

[Jeff Buchanan]

So we don't have a lot BS rumors on the portal popping up, 247 has a page that allows you to see portal updates. 247 isn't perfect but more reliable than mgoboard or twitter quotes. The link takes you to the Wolverines main page. You can filter from there.

So am I correct that ALL may be saying he wants to keep playing, but the M medical staff said he needs to stop playing?

[Jeff Buchanan]

Maybe .....probably. I don't trust mgoboard posts but it sounds like it. His twitter, good-by post wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows about his experience with the M.football program and that is about as far as it goes from what I've read at mgoboard.

[lineygoblue]

That would probably fit in with the description of "life changing surgery" as mentioned by Harbaugh.

Kid thinks he can play, but M doesn't think he should. Kid finds a doctor who says he can. Away goes the kid.
