Most Men Notice Aging All at Once

Men's skin is 25% thicker than women's. That sounds like an advantage. It isn't. Thicker skin delays the visible signs of aging — until collagen drops. And when it drops, it drops hard: heavier eye bags, deeper wrinkles, dark spots, loss of firmness. All at once. Most men were never taught to get ahead of it. That’s where Particle Face Cream comes in. A 6-in-1 formula engineered specifically for men's skin — reduces eye bags, dark spots, and wrinkles, restores firmness, hydrates deeply, revives dull tone. Two minutes a day. No complicated routine. Over 1,000,000 men already use it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee. 20% off with code BH20.

1. What we learned from 20 minutes with Dusty May

In the months since winning the national title, Dusty May hasn’t had much time to relax. From building a new roster through the transfer portal, to raising money at golf outings, to just the day-to-day grind of being a head coach at this level, May has been a busy man.

So kind of him to fit an interview with us into his schedule.

In the 22-minute conversation, May touched on several topics. Here are some of the most notable things he said:

  • LJ Cason suffered a torn right ACL in February. He could play next season if the 5-in-5 rule goes into play, as he’ll lose the year regardless. He’ll start practicing in November and will be brought back slow. If he can preserve the year, though, May said they’ll probably just hold him out.

  • Incoming freshman Lincoln Cosby and LSU transfer Jalen Reed are nursing injuries as well, and May didn’t provide timetables for their return. However, he did say it’ll be a unique opportunity to play his young guys early in the season, and his roster “will be deeper and better long term because of it.”

  • Michigan will have several freshmen/sophomores on next season’s roster. “We went a lot younger than what teams typically would in our situation,” May said. “But we like our young guys. There’s a couple unsung guys in that group that I think will surprise people.”

  • May has gone back and forth on NCAA Tournament expansion, but he’s now fully in favor after thinking about the hundreds of players who will get to experience March Madness.

  • Sean Miller said earlier this offseason that there will be 20-25 teams spending $20 million on their roster next season. May would’ve guessed 15 programs, but wouldn’t be shocked if it’s 25.
