With rookies reporting to fall camp on Saturday, there has been some injury intel thrown around camp. On Sunday, the Lions announced that a handful of players will begin the fall camp season on the PUP injury list (physically unable to perform) or NFI injury list (Non-football injury). Some were expected, but some may be a surprise. Let’s take a look to see who will be sidelined to start the season: PUP List A few notable players begin the season on the PUP list.

College football is on the horizon, folks. With the season just over a month away, there is no better time to start studying up on teams & conferences, win totals, positional rankings, etc. The Big Ten sees a ton of returning talent from a year ago. Throw in the insanity that is the transfer portal, and the Big Ten stacks up to be one of the best conferences in the country again. Teams like Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, and Wisconsin are slated to contend for the conference and hopefully earn a CFB playoff bid in the process. But how…
In our last article, we touched on the Wolverine’s quarterback situation heading into the 2022 season. Every logical Michigan fan should be well-aware of the two-headed quarterback monster that is JJ McCarthy and Cade McNamara. But what is in store at the running back position this season? With 2021 leading rusher Hassan Haskins graduating and heading off to the NFL, Michigan will look elsewhere for production in the backfield. Let’s take a look at the running back position and see how we grade it: 2021 Overview Michigan saw its best rushing performance in over two decades in 2021, rushing for…
39 days. That is all we have left to endure until college football returns for another season. To specify – it is 39 days until Week 0, where there’s only a handful of games taking place on that day. 46 days is the countdown that most college football fans are tracking towards. That is the first Saturday of a full, action-packed slate of games. The offseason in college football is so brutally long, and that is what makes the return of college football so special in my eyes. Lets take an early look at some of the intriguing matchups on…
Every season, there are teams that exceed expectations and teams that fall short. It’s the beauty of college football – the uncertainty of a 12-game slate (unless you’re Alabama – then there is plenty of certainty). Big Ten teams like Michigan, Michigan State, and Minnesota exceeded expectations in 2021. After the shortened 2020 covid season, nobody anticipated Jim Harbaugh getting the monkey off his back to win a B10 title, let alone claiming a berth in the CFB playoff. No one expected Mel Tucker to go 11-2 in just his first FULL season in East Lansing. Minnesota was a Bowling…
With the 2022 college football season looming, it is time to start looking at teams a little bit closer. One of the biggest unknowns heading into the season is how the Michigan Wolverines will respond to their success from the 2021 season. Coming off its first Big Ten title since 2004, the Michigan Wolverines look to repeat its 2021 success. Winning another conference title and earning another trip to the CFB playoff isn’t that far-fetched. In this article, we breakdown the Wolverines’ quarterback position and assign a grade to it. The most scrutinized position in Harbaugh’s tenure at Michigan has…
