Michigan Monday: Michigan Steals One Back and is JJ Hurt?

Iowa came into Crisler last week and ruined Senior Night for the Wolverines.  In a weekend, where we saw UNC ruin Coach K's awkward last game at Cameron, the Michigan Basketball team did the same thing to Ohio State on Sunday.  I guess that was the theme of the weekend.  

I've been very hard on graduate transfer Jones this season, but he stepped up yesterday when Hunter was out with a stomach bug.  The offensive spacing was better and Michigan got a great win in Columbus.   I sure hope Caleb Houstan can get used to sleeping in hotels, because he struggles on the road.  Large hat tip to Phil Martelli on keeping the team together and beating MSU and OSU in the same week. 

Juwan is back and Michigan takes on IU on Thursday afternoon in the Big Ten Tournament.  Hopefully they can grab a win or two this week and lock down an NCAA bid.  

Now to a rumor floating around the Michigan Football program.   The team has been off for spring break and the rumor is that JJ has a shoulder injury (his throwing shoulder) that needs some cleaning up and will miss the remaining spring practices.  The cleaning up part means he is scheduled to have minor surgery and will be back this summer for Fall Camp.   Again, this has not been confirmed by the program but seems to be minor issue.

  • Some NFL Combine highlights
    • Hutch ran a 4.74 but has short arms, which I guess is a negative 
    • H2 didn't run because he has a high ankle sprain but put up 27 reps on the bench. 
    • Ojabo ran a very fast 4.55 
    • Dax ran a 4.38
  • Michigan Hockey swept MSU over the Weekend. 
  • Michigan Wrestling won a Big Ten Championship this weekend as well!

Hutch with his short arms has done more things that players with longer arms didn't and couldn't do this season. He doesn't have to be Magilla Gorilla to be an outstanding NFL DE/LB.

Moreover, the reports that Georgia's defensive players are "killing it" at the combine with their numbers being incredible, historical and unrealistic. Just think about this, when an entire college unit suddenly are, "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound." You have to wonder if "it's a bird, it's a plane or...if it's PEDS?" I'm not saying, I'm juss sayin!"

Somebody needs a blood and piss test. IMHO!!!
