The Dunk Abides
    • So long to the annual showdown between Ohio State and Michigan at noon on ABC.

    The Game is officially going to be broadcasted on FOX this fall, as Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh meet for the third time on the gridiron on Nov. 25 at Michigan Stadium. FOX confirmed the news during its upfronts on Monday.

    This is a long time coming after FOX paid up to own the majority of the Big Ten's broadcasting rights last June while ESPN lagged behind and lost. The new deal begins during the 2017-18 academic calendar. FOX shelled out the dough to get majority ownership of the broadcast rights and now has first dibs on what games to show on its networks.

    FOX interviewed both Harbaugh and Meyer to promote the matchup on its network on Monday. Additionally, it scrolled across the screen other big time contests, as seen below.

    Other notable games shown:

    • Penn State-Ohio State
    • Notre Dame-Michigan State
    • Oklahoma-Oklahoma State
    • Texas-USC
    Last year's version of Harbaugh-Meyer drew an absurd 10.4 overnight rating on ABC last year when the Buckeyes beat Michigan 30-24 in double overtime on Curtis Samuel's 15-yard touchdown run on the game's final play.

    No word on if this means Gus Johnson will serve as play-by-play commentator for The Game moving forward. Hopefully, our prayers will be answered.

    Michigan Monday: Wolverine Offense Will Go as Far as Freshman Wideouts Take It?

    MichiganMondayPSU.jpg


    The title of this week’s Michigan Monday is a question because I just don’t know how accurate it is.

    What I do know is that the Wolverines are replacing receivers Jehu Chesson and Amara Darboh, as well as their 200 receptions over the last two seasons. How will they be doing that? I have some ideas. Well, four of them.

    Michigan is returning 27 receptions from their wide receivers in 2016. Thirteen of those catches belong to junior Grant Perry, who is currently suspended and doesn’t appear to be getting unsuspended any time soon. Two of the remaining 14 receptions belong to Drake Harris, who moved to cornerback last month.

    That leaves a dozen catches between sophomore Eddie McDoom (5), sophomore Kekoa Crawford (4), junior Maurice Ways (2), and sophomore Nate Johnson (1).

    I’m not going to sit here and put too much stock in a lack of returning receptions, especially in a piece where I’m later going to be heaping praise and expectations upon a group of freshman receivers who haven’t done anything yet. Still, we have to wonder where 100-120 receptions are going to come from. I don’t expect it to be just two guys like it has been for the bulk of the last two seasons. But for the first time under Jim Harbaugh, I don’t think it needs to be. There are more options now.

    Enter the Freshmen

    I know Buckeye fans like their 2017 receiver class of Trevon Grimes, Jaylen Harris, and Ellijah Gardiner, and they should. Michigan fans, however, will tell you that the Wolverines signed the top receiver class in the nation this past February. And I’m not sure I can disagree.

    I might be making too much of this group, especially if quarterback Wilton Speight can’t find the necessary consistency. However, an inconsistent quarterback throwing to freshman receivers can lead to some very ugly interceptions.

    This can't be overstated. It would be ironic if Jimmy finally gets them back to the Lloyd run of talent at the skill positions, only to have the QB hold them back.
