The University of Michigan is now investigating its athletic department. Wonder if the AD makes it through the investigation given all of the scandals over the past few years and the impact on the hiring of their next football coach? What coach at a top program would you want to leave their job for the uncertainty surrounding the Michigan job? I still don’t understand how Michigan avoided severe sanctions. mliveMichigan athletics department under investigation: Is a c...The latest Wolverine Confidential podcast episode is available

For Beavs and ewe dub, that means a trophy.

I guess if he doesn’t touch a dime for 40 years and is able to achieve an 8% average annual compound return over that time frame. Of course, then the $50M in guaranteed NFL money would be worth $700M+ based on those same assumptions… I guess we’ll see what Dante chooses but I know what I’d advise, if I were close to him and he asked me.

Only Moore and Bryant Jr were participating per Crepea "Moore and Bryant each took reps on punt return while Stewart, who has been out all season, appeared to be limited while stretching and did not take any reps during the special teams period." Things could change of course. Still good news.

It might be better to soar with Sorsby than ride with Raiola. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/7000-yard-college-football-quarterback-to-enter-transfer-portal

College Football News Predicts OBD 41 - JMU 13 https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/oregon-vs-james-madison-prediction-cfp-first-round

If Moore goes then I say bring a transfer in to compete. I definitely agree that Raiola has that raw look that Dante Moore had during his stint at UCLA. I am most curious as to how Lanning addresses QB development now that Stein is gone. Who will he bring in to be our next "QB whisperer"? This hire will definitely affect how attractive we look for potential transfers and recruits moving forward.

As always, I put my trust in Dan, but IMO, Raiola has done nothing at Nebraska to put him on OBD's radar. A better athlete, Florida's QB DJ Lagway, is headed to the portal, as is Cincinnati QB Sorsby, and Michigan State's Aiden Chiles. There will be many QBs to choose from. And portal deals will be made under the table by PO teams still in title contention. For next season, OBD, OL, DL, and LB positions may all be more important for OBD.

As if JMU doesn'thave enough what if migraine inducing matchups with Oregon!

They may all be ready to go, maybe some of them, but I would think , most of all it is Lanning saying to JMU, here are a few more things to think about and plan for.

Timing on all these could be an issue if we make a deep run in the playoffs and Moore doesn't decide until later than these guys need to find their next landing spot. I'm sure Lanning will have that discussion with Moore.

Who knows if he’s the one, but there will almost certainly be a top portal QB in play if Moore goes. Believe I read the last 4 Heisman winners have been transfers, 3 of them being QBs.

Well 10 million at 8% for 40 years is $217 million, so... And like I said, he's from Detroit, he doesn't know how to spend money, and if he goes in the 2nd round he's still making millions a year that he can't figure out how to spend. He's got generational wealth coming without being a first rounder next year, or the year after that.

So, it was allegedly a staffer, he stalked her for months, but she broke up with him on Monday, then called the AD to complain... Sounds like pure soap opera to me. I feel very bad for his family, first and foremost. The school has been crafting some of this sticky wicket, in retaining staff who had already been involved in a ruckus undefeated Harbaugh. Not nearly a smelly as the Penn State mess under Paterno, but definitely not the sort of press coverage any institution should have to deal with. The fact they immediately fired Moore for cause certainly suggests a predisposition by the AD.

Benson taking over for Bryant has been the difference for punt return. If Bryant comes back, I think Benson continues to be the guy. And these days kick returners are your speediest running backs not WRs for durability reasons.

"participating" We'll what part of practice? A lot of times the media is only allowed to see warm ups and a drill or two. Still, it's a great sign, and hopefully at least 2 of the 3 will be ready to contribute at a high playoff level once by the Texas Tech game.

Might be bizarre to say this but I think this helps our special teams massively. In close games we've seen the return game come up huge and having an extra receiver that can field punts or kickoffs could help us steal some points against elite teams. Also just having Dak or EStew automatically drags a safety to that side for help over the top so Moore can find Sadiq or GBJ underneath.

I have read several articles that mention "If Dante Moore" goes to the NFL. Here is another article about Oregon being a possible destination for Dylan Raiola IF Dante leaves. Hoping Dante stays. I've only watched Raiola a few times, he seems pretty raw. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/nebraska-qb-dylan-raiola-transfer-portal-oregon-5-star-recruit/

That is some serious talent at receiver! While we don’t need to rush them back, it would be nice for them to all get a few series together to work off any rust.

If they are deemed ready to go, it would be good to shake off a little rust prior to the next round... assuming there is a next round. If any of those stars align, keep it minimal, a pray for safety!

This is a great game for those guys to be back!! Hopefully NO injuries.

Thank you, NJ. Starting in 2024 and through 2028, 2025 is the easiest B1G schedule OBD has had, and will have, made weaker by the PSU meltdown. 2026 ramps up. Game at Ohio State instead of Penn State, but 2027, especially if Baylor is competitive, could be the nation's most difficult schedule.
