As regular readers of this blog know, I believe kickoff time is very important for how the Wolverines will play. I believe the Wolverines play better at Noon, then they do at 3:30 or 7:30. I don't have any stats to back up that opinion, but I know what I know 😀. Coach Whitt seems to have similar football sensibilities to Jim Harbaugh, even though Coach has lived in the Mountain time zone most of his career.
Now TV contracts has thrown a wrench into playing more Noon kicks. Fox owns the Noon time slot, CBS owns the 3:30 kick, and NBC the night game. BTN gets the rest of the games. Which means to play at noon, its has to be big game that Fox wants or a bad game BTN gets.
The TV Networks have started to grab games next season and of course, Fox has grabbed two big Michigan games. Oklahoma @ Michigan and Michigan @ OSU, both of course Noon kicks. To me, playing The Sooners at noon is a big deal!
Michigan's Big 3 are at the NBA Combine and measured in yesterday. Per Jonathan Givony from X:
Michigan's Morez Johnson measured 6'9 barefoot and 251 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'3.5 wingspan and 8'11 standing reach.
Michigan's Aday Mara measured 7'3 barefoot and 260 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'6 wingspan and 9'9 standing reach.
Absolutely absurd measurements. Tied with Mark Williams for the second-longest standing reach in Combine history, behind only Tacko Fall.
Michigan's Yaxel Lendeborg measured 6'8.75 barefoot and 241 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'3.25 wingspan and 9'0.5 standing reach.
No surprises after last year's Combine, but still outstanding dimensions for a player who slid seamlessly from the 3 to the 5 this season.
- John Henry Daley is expected to be 100% by June 1st
- Greg Crippen signs with the Steelers
