Michigan Friday: Surprise - it's Big Willie Allen!

Normally, I don't wake up expecting Michigan to land a grad transfer OT from Louisiana Tech University.   Today, it not like any other and Michigan has picked up just that person. 

Michigan landed "Big" Willie Allen a former 4 star OT prospect that transferred from LSU to LA Tech.  Willie is 6'6 343 pounds and is considered an NFL prospect.   He had some COVID issues missed the first 2 games of the season and decided to transfer to a place that could help him get to the League.  

He will enroll in the Spring and be part of the 2021 class and eligible for 1 year.   So he won't be suiting up in a week and could be a great replacement for Mayfield after he turns pro after the season.  

Welcome Big Man! 

  • The Good News continues?  Michigan is expected to land 2021 4 star #81 ranked player in the country Branden Jennings an ILB from Jacksonville today.  100% CB's to Michigan.  He is a UA All American and playing in that all star game. 

  • Michigan is a road dog next weekend and getting +2.5 points against the Golden Gophers.  Thank you Big Ten for the road trip/night game.  

  • I'm also getting concerned if we are slowly watching COVID take over football.   NFL Colts today reported multiple positives,  Florida has over 20 positives this week, Saban is trying to find a way to coach against Georgia after testing positive, Baylor is having a breakout, other games cancelled or postponed.   If/when this happens in the Big Ten,  the players that test positive is basically going to miss 3 games.   It its a team outbreak that is 3 games cancelled.   Fun Times!

cancel the season...player are risking their health, and may get injured to play few games. It is not worth it....save their health for a full season where games are more meaningful...why is Don Brown still coaching defense??...please someone give me a good answer...I don't want no delusional fans giving me answer to that question...thanks

MM - I don't like answering you because part of me feels that the more we answer you the more you will type.

This has been answered over and over and over again, but you disregard and keep asking the same question. The reason Don Brown is still the DC is because Jim Harbaugh keeps him on staff.

In a few weeks Americans will head to the polls to vote (I'd encourage all to vote) and the American people will decide who leads them. Universities are different. They can pick who leads. The University of Michigan has picked Jim Harbaugh as their head football coach and he has chosen Don Brown as his DC. No amount of screams or crying will change that. We cannot vote him out.

So...you ask why Brown is still the DC...it is because Jim Harbaugh wants him there. There you go.

So is the matter settled then? Also, honest question MM... are you watching the games still? After advocating for the season to not be played?

MichiganMan said...

Great question just the love of football for Michigan I will watch....but if they lose some games it's not going to bother me as much because I know this is all just an exhibition at a different level... Hope that makes sense buddy

Cmfgoblue said...

It does! That makes sense... it does feel like an exhibition but hey... it’s a hell of an excuse for chicken wings and beer

It all feels like an exhibition season. Excellent analogy. The silliest thing I've seen so far was at one of the football games a cheerleader was holding up a sign that said "make noise". There were about 5,000 people in this cavernous stadium. Pitiful.
