Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy — also known as ‘El Presidente’ — confirmed that he was in fact banned from going inside Ohio Stadium for FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show ahead of Ohio State vs. Texas this Saturday. He added that the Barstool College Football Show was not allowed to broadcast from the OSU campus. That runs contrary to the statement that Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork made saying that FOX was the one who decided Portnoy wouldn’t be in the stadium.

He explains in this video:

A look at Michigan football’s team photo:

Former Michigan long snapper William Wagner was an undrafted free agent this offseason, but landed on the Cincinnati Bengals’ initial 53-man roster.

The Athletic‘s Dane Brugler ranked Wagner the No. 1 long snapper in this year’s draft class, giving him a seventh-round grade.

Wagner put up 19 reps on the bench press and ran a 5.02-second 40-yard dash at Michigan’s pro day in March. Here were his measurements: Height: 6-1 3/8, Weight: 239 lbs., Hand: 9 1/8″, Reach/Arm: 30 1/2″, Wingspan: 74 3/8.”

Former Michigan EDGE Braiden McGregor has made the New York Jets’ roster for the second-straight season after going undrafted in 2024.

BTN analyst Jake Butt shares his observations from watching Michigan freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood at recent practice.

Michigan defensive tackle Trey Pierce weighs in on Underwood.

Michigan junior defensive back Brandyn Hillman discusses flipping the switch from practice to games ahead of this Saturday’s opener versus New Mexico.

Quote Of The Day

“Everybody is out there balling. Yeah, I get it, first-rounders, we lost them and everything, but I don’t really think of it like that. If you all came out and watched practice, know football, it’s the same 11. We try to keep it the same 11 on and off, so that’s how it is.”
