WATCH: Michigan player hilariously face plants during College World Series
Michigan and Florida State are playing Monday night in the College World Series from Omaha, Nebraska.
UM’s Jordan Nwogu found out he had a little bit too much momentum when sliding into third base. Nwogu started a head-first slide, but he was too upright and face planted; things surely didn’t work out too well for him.
Nwogu turned into an Internet meme rather quickly, but the best part was him popping up and smiling about the slide. Thankfully, he wasn’t hurt and scored a run later in the inning.
This is just too great not to share, and you can bet his teammates will never let him live this one down:

The winner of Michigan-FSU will be in the driver’s seat of their bracket. The Wolverines lead 2-0 in the top of the ninth.
Not funny, it was an unfortunate equipment mistake on a good hustle play. And it drew blood. Nice effort kid.
Speak for yourself
Hey, you don’t get any points for style. Safe at 3rd is safe at 3rd.
Drew blood!!?!??….. yeesh. God forbid an athlete get a strawberry while playing in a game.
Dude was laughing at himself in the dugout while getting a small bandage on his forehead.
Relax bud
Huh? Guess my sarcasm didn’t carry over very well maybe?
Even the player found humor in the play. So what is “Not funny” about it?
I thought it was funny…sliding head 1st is asking for it. Besides, what was the 3rd base coach doing? It looked like any kind of slide was unnecessary. The 3rd baseman never took the throw.
The slide was successful because he was safe. Style points don’t matter. Good for him for laughing about it.
Gator just likes to troll. Safe is safe no matter how you get there.
How did I troll? I laughed because it was funny to me.
Safe
His face slid better than his gloves.
Dude seriously needs some sliding lessons! Ouch!!!
