I do not want to see any OL player 'Over the Line!' before the ball is snapped. 😁Three good calls. Like Charles, I hope Stewart and Dak are all the way back, and I want to see what Gatlin Behr brings to the O. As Sir Notalot has posted, speed kills; let's see it on the field. I want to see more of Charles Bird Bombs. It's the Spring Game, so the O is likely to be vanilla, but I'm hoping Mehringer will let the dogs out. Raiola? How much will he play, and is he healthy? I watched a redated one-hour replay of the Michigan at Nebraska game the other day. Behind 30-20 late in the 4th Q, Raiola led a great drive to bring the Huskers within 3 points, 30-27, before Michigan recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock. He is now surrounded by better athletes than he played with at Nebraska. Will the talent and coaching help lift his game? Best of luck to Kenyon Sadiq in the NFL. It was a great gesture on the part of Dan and his tight end coach, Mehringer, to be with Kenyon and his family in Idaho to watch him go in the first round. Has Jamari Johnson continued to improve? He was a terrific under-the-radar portal pick-up in 2025. What do Kendre Harrison and Andrew Olesh bring to the TE table? I hope to see athletic play out of the players vying to start on the O-line. It would be sweet to see if we have an OT close to Josh Conerly in athletic ability. There are many quality edge rushers in the B1G. Can they handle the quickness and also run block? The DL starters? Perhaps the best starting group in CFB. What do the backups look like? Of the greatest importance: no injuries, please. This is IT before September 5th, I'm fired up. Bust the Broncos!

Sports Illustrated breaks down the 1st round. The Big 10 had ten players picked, the SEC seven, eight fewer than selected in the 2025 first round. The ACC, with 8 picks, if you add on Notre Dame's two picks, and the B12 with six players chosen, showed up. As the article notes, the B1G and the SEC did not dominate the 1st round as they have in recent drafts. Day 2 - 7 PM/ 4 PM - ABC, ESPN Experts, right? UCF is a member of the B12, not the American Conference. 🤬 Make no miss-state, on the way out the door to the Leif Ericson, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand II, and Isabella, New World Pac-8 + Gonzo 🤪, Mountain West, San Diego State was the only G6 conference to have a player chosen in the first round.

Pre-Draft laughs. Caleb Downs was an All-SEC as a freshman playing safety for Nick Saban at Alabama. He transferred to Ohio State for the balance of his college career. Sitting next to Nick during the pre-game draft show on ESPN was Ohio State coach Ryan Day. Herbie asked Day how prepared Downs was when he transferred to Ohio State. Day: He had talent, but he was a mess; it was like he'd never been coached up. We had to start all over. Then, with a B1G smile on his face, Day leaned over and gave Nick a faux shoulder punch. I Love This Game! 🤪
