Michigan football's Aidan Hutchinson misses out on Heisman TrophyThe momentum behind his candidacy stopped Saturday, when Hutchinson and the rest of the nation learned Alabama quarterback Bryce Young was the recipient of college football's greatest individual prize. The Michigan standout, meanwhile, finished a distant second in the final balloting. Still, the outcome couldn't dim a dazzling year for Hutchinson, who set a single-season school record with 14 sacks, led the Wolverines to their first College Football Playoff berth and began to stock his trophy case. Just in the last two weeks, Hutchinson was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and won the Rotary Lombardi Award, given to the nation's best lineman or linebacker.After all, Hutchinson's trajectory was unclear heading into the Sept. 4 opener against Western Michigan. The potential was certainly there, and the NFL was intrigued enough by his natural ability that one prominent scouting service gave him a preliminary first-round grade. The second-generation Wolverine, whose father was an All-American, struggled to distinguish himself on the field for one reason or another. As his college career progressed, he was often overshadowed by the Wolverines' other top pass rushers, whether it was Chase Winovich, Josh Uche or Kwity Paye.Two weeks later, many began to agree with Gattis' opinion after watching Hutchinson terrorize Ohio State and lead Michigan to its first victory over the Buckeyes since 2011. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound dynamo generated a whopping 15 pressures and sacked C.J. Stroud three times in the 42-27 win.“There have been some awfully good players that have played for Michigan that haven't done what Aidan Hutchinson has done,” Harbaugh said.That was true. Hutchinson established a new single-season school record for sacks in the win over Ohio State. He then became Michigan's first Big Ten championship game MVP after the Wolverines secured their first conference title since 2004 in a 42-3 rout of Iowa last Saturday.How Michigan ended up building The Big House-Stuart Varney takes a closer look into how the University of Michigan built the largest football stadium on ‘American Built'.Michigan Stadium, nicknamed "The Big House,is the football stadium for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is the largest stadium in the United States and Western Hemisphere, outside of Asia, the third largest stadium in the world, and the 34th largest sports venue.Its official capacity is 107,601,but has hosted crowds in excess of 115,000.Michigan Stadium was built in 1927 at a cost of $950,000 (equivalent to $11.4 million in 2019 and had an original capacity of 72,000. Prior to the stadium's construction, the Wolverines played football at Ferry Field. Every home game since November 8, 1975 has drawn a crowd in excess of 100,000, an active streak of more than 300 contests. On September 7, 2013, the game between Michigan and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish attracted a crowd of 115,109, a record attendance for a college football game since 1948, and an NCAA single-game attendance record at the time, overtaking the previous record of 114,804 set two years previously for the same matchuphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mo3GiXBbMYPrior to playing at Michigan Stadium, Michigan played its games at Ferry Field, which at its peak could seat 40,000 people. Fielding Yost recognized the need for a larger stadium after original expansions to Ferry Field proved to be too small, and persuaded the regents to build a permanent stadium in 1926. Fashioned after the Yale Bowl, the original stadium was built with a capacity of 72,000. However, at Yost's urging, temporary bleachers were added at the top of the stadium, increasing capacity to 82,000.Formal dedication of the new Michigan Stadium, October 22, 1927, against Ohio StateOn October 1, 1927, Michigan played Ohio Wesleyan in the first game at Michigan Stadium, prevailing easily, 33–0. The new stadium was then formally dedicated three weeks later in a contest against Ohio State on October 22. Michigan had spoiled the formal dedication of Ohio Stadium in Columbus five years earlier and was victorious again, besting the Buckeyes 21–0 before a standing-room-only crowd of 84,401. In 1930, electronic scoreboards were installed, making the stadium the first in the United States to use them to keep the official game time.[9]In 1956, the addition of a press box raised the stadium's official capacity to 101,001. The one "extra seat" in Michigan Stadium is said to be reserved for Fritz Crisler, athletic director at the time. Since then, all official Michigan Stadium capacity figures have ended in "-01", although the extra seat's location is not specifiedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6V_sYJl3OsRANDOM FACT-PORTLAND CEMENThttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_cementPortland cement is the most common type of cement in general use around the world as a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, stucco, and non-specialty grout. It was developed from other types of hydraulic lime in England in the early 19th century by Joseph Aspdin, and is usually made from limestone. It is a fine powder, produced by heating limestone and clay minerals in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding 2 to 3 percent of gypsum. Several types of portland cement are available. The most common, called ordinary portland cement (OPC), is grey, but white portland cement is also available. Its name is derived from its resemblance to Portland stone which was quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. It was named by Joseph Aspdin who obtained a patent for it in 1824. However, his son William Aspdin is regarded as the inventor of "modern" portland cement due to his developments in the 1840s.Portland cement is caustic, so it can cause chemical burns.The powder can cause irritation or, with severe exposure, lung cancer, and can contain a number of hazardous components, including crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium. Environmental concerns are the high energy consumption required to mine, manufacture, and transport the cement, and the related air pollution, including the release of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, dioxin,[citation needed] NOx, SO2, and particulates. Production of Portland cement contributes about 10% of world carbon dioxide emissions. The International Energy Agency has estimated that cement production will increase by between 12 and 23% by 2050 to meet the needs of the world's growing population. There are several ongoing researches targeting a suitable replacement of portland cement by supplementary cementitious materials.The low cost and widespread availability of the limestone, shales, and other naturally-occurring materials used in portland cement make it one of the lowest-cost materials widely used over the last century. Concrete produced from Portland cement is one of the world's most versatile construction materials.

People are quick to blame Spencer Petras, but the offensive line is where our issues are at to this point. Moreover, with Kyler Schott returning, how close are we to getting a more complete picture of the starting offensive line? Defensively, the defensive line rotation is starting to shape up and Lukas Van Ness continues to be a stud.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – If you drove the lane against Iowa in the early 1990s, you dealt with Acie Earl. And often times, he sent your shot right back to you free of charge. The shot-blocker from Moline (IL) High won Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors as a junior and still holds the school record for career blocked shots (365). He was more than a one trick pony, however. His 1,779 points rank third all-time on the school leader board behind only Roy Marble and Aaron White. His 811 rebounds put him seventh in Hawkeye history. The Boston Celtics drafted Earl in the first round and 19th overall in the 1993 NBA Draft. He and Ricky Davis, who went 21st in ’98, were the only Iowa first-round picks since ’90. We caught up with Earl for our latest Hawkeye History podcast, during which he talked about what he’s doing these days and his time at Iowa, including playing for Dr. Tom Davis and his friendship with the late Chris Street.

(https://atgridiron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ATG-Greg.png) Greg enjoyed a great career playing 7 seasons of professional football in the NFL and CFL.  Something he used to do that most don’t know is that he worked as a clown.  He performed at a few events and enjoyed it.  His start to football came when he was in 3rd grade.  There was a flyer at school about playing at the school.  His mom was strongly against him playing, and told him no.  However he did end up playing and she became his biggest fan!  Even now with the new leagues formed and about to begin, she’s pushing him to make a comeback and return to playing professionally!  He chose to play collegiately at Michigan State University, after decommiting to the University of Minnesota.  He changed his mind due to the firing of then Gophers coach Glen Mason.  He felt after the move that the Spartans would offer him the best opportunity.  He proved that was a great decision on his part.  He earned many accolades while he was there including 1st-Team All-American and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.  With those lofty achievements he was expecting to be selected pretty high in the NFL draft.  However, things didn’t turn out as he expected.  He was surprisingly not picked until the 6th round of the draft.  Despite that disappointment, he saw the bright side of things and realized that being selected that low, allowed him to be picked by a team that had a much greater chance to make it to the Super Bowl.  And that is in fact what happened his rookie season, and he also had the opportunity to start as well.  That first play of the Super Bowl was a glorious memory for him.  It was quite surreal, as the ball was kicked off and he could hear the flashing of all the camera’s in the stadium.  It was a special moment.  Another special moment happened after the game when he proposed to his fiancé.  It didn’t occur as smoothly as he hoped, having to scoured the packed field looking for his teammate, who had the ring, and his fiancé as well.  Thankfully it turned out well.  His time in the CFL was a great experience for him too.  He loved the brotherhood that he felt while being a part of the league.  After his time ended in Saskatchewan, he moved towards life after football.  He’s now VP of Vane Mouthguards, a company started by a former NHL player.  They produce mouthguards that help athletes detect when they have suffered a severe enough impact to warrant an evaluation for a concussion.  A great product to help make contact sports safer for athletes.  For more information on the company and Greg, please use the links below. website: www.vanemouthguards.com (https://www.vanemouthguards.com/) Buy on Amazon:  https://amzn.to/2HLMYUz (https://amzn.to/2HLMYUz) Instagram:  www.instagram.com/gregj513/ (https://www.instagram.com/gregj513/) Twitter: www.twitter.com/gregjones5353 (https://twitter.com/gregjones5353?lang=en) Resources www.atgridiron.com (https://www.atgridiron.com) www.symfonies.ca (http://www,symfonies.ca) www.audible.com (https://amzn.to/2Sef9Rx)

IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK. So often we feel like we have to mask what we are going through. We hide our fears. We cover our scars. But the adversity you face makes you a stronger person. You’re not the only one who is battling something. The more vulnerable you can be about what you’re up against, the more other people will be able to support you. It’s going to take a team effort. Don’t let a weak moment become a weak mindset. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with a former NFL player who is now tackling childhood cancer: Devon Still. Devon Still is a professional athlete, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and advocate for childhood cancer awareness. He is also a former Houston Texan’s defensive end, a former Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive tackle, Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, and a Penn State University All-American. Perhaps most importantly, he is Leah’s dad, helping her publicly “beat up cancer” and embarking on a pediatric cancer-fighting journey. Devon shared that once he opened up about his daughter’s battle with cancer, the more love and connection he felt. He now wants everyone to be vulnerable about the storms they are facing. He also knows the importance of having fun along the way. So get ready to learn Devon’s lessons from the football field and life on Episode 764. Some Questions I Ask: What were the biggest lessons Joe Paterno taught you? (8:00) How have you been able to reinvent yourself after football? (30:00) What’s your mission moving forward? (33:00) What’s your dream for your daughter in the next 15 years? (46:00) In This Episode You Will Learn: What it was like playing for Penn State during the Sandusky Trial (3:00) The importance of visualizing your dreams (12:00) About Devon’s daughter’s battle with cancer (14:00) The biggest lesson Devon learned from football (23:00) Why it’s important to be vulnerable (40:00) How to appreciate the struggles life gives you (47:00)

James Laurinaitis was a 3-time consensus All-American linebacker at the Ohio State University. He was selected 35th overall in the 2nd round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. His Dad, Joe was one half of "The Road Warriors" wrestling duo in the WWE, and WCW.  James is the only player ever to win two Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year awards.  In April of 2017, James announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 30.  On this episode of the podcast, James shares with us why he chose to retire at 30 years old, what it was like growing up with a Dad as a professional wrestler, what the morning after an NFL game feels like from a pain perspective, and what he plans to do following retirement.  You can partner with us for $36 a year (just $3 a month) and become a member of the Sports Spectrum family.
