Wolverine Wednesday: Meant To Be

When you grow up with a name Brady Hart, Michigan Football has to be your destination.  As 2026 QB Brady Hart locked in his commitment to Michigan on Tuesday.   I wrote about him yesterday, so I will spare a you a rinse and repeat.  


His name got me thinking, what other combination of legendary Michigan QB's and RB's would we also like to see?  Of course it has to be last names.  Here are a few of my entries:
  • Harbaugh Wheatley 
  • Robinson Biakabutuka
  • Leach Corum 
  • Henne Thomas 
  • Griese Morris 
  • Grbac Woolfolk 
Back to Brady, I do like that Michigan has secured its 2026 QB and now can build the class around him.  Having a high profile QB recruit for you, is a pretty nice luxury. 

  • Michigan Football's 2025 recruiting is starting to heat up, Michigan is getting predictions for OL/Center Kaden Strayhorn, WR Phil Wright III, and LB Hardy Watts.  
  • Darius Morris cause of death of revealed, he had coronary heart disease while drugs and alcohol played a role in his passing.  
  • Chris Partridge is suing Michigan over his firing.  Has hired Tom Mars.  My guess is Michigan will want to settle that one, quickly and quietly. 
  • RIP Willie Mays

Partridge was an 'at will' employee. He has no case.

Welcome Brady! Let's get 'crootin!

Here's a name combo for you (bonus points if you know of these two players)- Dickey Huckleby

This thing with Chris Partridge could get interesting.. I wonder what grounds he's using for the suing. And what Michigan's response to that will be could be very interesting

Brady, Michigan has more to lose than Partridge. Smart money will be on out of court settlement with a gag order.

Brady2017 said...

Chowman- 100% w you on that. Michigan has always used NDAs (non disclosure agreement), which is why we never really heard anything bad from former coaches. The only one that I can recall spouting off has been Josh Gattis. But ya, we definitely don't want to reopen Spygate. I'm sick of that.

Brady, Not so fast my friend, he is protected if there was some kind of discrimination, or whistle blower effect. A trial by a sympathetic jury against deep pockets (Michigan) might be a high-risk chance not taken by U of M. The jury pool is already tainted by the sign-calling scandal (unless you are a juror that lives underground and does not have contact with the real world).

Brady2017 said...

Jimmy should call Partridge and say "Here's a million bucks, make this lawsuit go away." Keep Pandora's box from opening any further and cover his behind at the same time.

Brady2017 said...

Scotty- You are correct sir. But why would Partridge blow the whistle on his own program and bite the hand that feeds him? We may never know. And you sound like Lee Corso, my friend. Lol

Brady2017 said...

Michigan could say to Partridge, we know you've been in contact w Connor Stallions, so bye bye, you're fired. This is termination with cause. But things could get sticky if Partridge said, Yes I did have contact with Stallions, but so did this person, this person, and this person, and they weren't fired. The law is tricky. It's up to the lawyers now.

Partridge was a good coach, good recruiter, and a good dude. Michigan wouldn't let him go if we didn't absolutely have to.

"Partridge ... has no case. "

and then

"The law is tricky. It's up to the lawyers now."

Hmmm ... well ... I guess it could be either. Got your bases covered there.

Renegade- This ain't Twitter, bro. Ain't no personal attacks in here. If you can't make an intelligent post, then take your shit elsewhere.

Goblu said...

So apparently not only did JJ speak with Brady to get him to Mich, his parents drove from IL to meet with Brady and his parents. Wow

Ron said...

It's being reported that he's considering sueing he hasn't sued yet at least that's what had been reported

ScottyDoggs said...

Go Blu, Your comment is a good read .... one of the little unheralded things Michigan footballers do to keep the wheels turning. Keep digging for other interesting stories.

ScottyDoggs said...

Without knowing what was said, it seems like Renegade gave some grief to Brady....Just saying anyone who messes with Brady is going to mess with me. I am a serial(AKA:Cereal) killer. I stabbed two boxes of Cheerios, and only got probation from my Mommy.
