Potential MGoBlog HoF Inagural Candidates

I figured this would be the easiest way to compile a list of potential inagural class candidates.  The 190 comment thread would be a difficult place to keep track, so here we can be a little more organized.  Make suggestions and I'll add them to the lists.  Since this is just a way to keep track of potential candidates, feel free to throw out some "maybes."  Mods, feel free to edit the OP accordingly. 

This may also help keep that initial thread focused on the manner in which people are elected, etc.  Without further adieu...

20 Grit Sandpaper: Michigan Men's Tennis over Vanderbilt

At first I was like...

pain piercings (pein) but then I was like...

 

joy-017 That's what an extreme, come-from-behind, in-your-face gritty road win will do for your demeanor. #30 Michigan slipped to a dreadful 0-3 deficit on the road against #40 Vanderbilt before a rally led by 3 court Alex Petrone and sealed by 6 court Alex Buzzi won the match for the Wolverines. Buzzi has now won two straight matches on court 6 for Michigan.

 

It was another slightly schizophrenic day for No. 8 Evan King at 1 court, who prevailed in three sets over No. 66 Charles Jones, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3. I have trouble understanding how one's quality of play can swing so dramatically from set to set. Regardless, King's record has improved to 7-2 in singles matches this season.

Michigan's woes on 2 court continued as Shaun Bernstein was defeated 6-2, 7-6. 4 court Michael Zhu also went down in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2.

Two more matches remain before Big Ten play opens against MSU March 17: at Hawaii March 1, and at Wake Forest March 10. A split would leave Michigan at 6-5 and needing 7 wins out of 11 Big Ten games to match their season record from last year and qualify for the NCAAs. It's doable with this gritty, tenacious team but a sweep would make life easier.

BRAND NEW CHARLIE

When we last left our story, Charlie Blockham awoke to the sounds of
his mother telling him to get ready for school.  She also pointed out his hair,
which has grown to monumental proportions in the two months since the
strip has began. What's a full-headed boy to do?

I'm very proud to announce that we're doing something very different and
special this week over at the Blockhams.com and @TheBlockhams on Twitter,

For one week only we'll be honoring the hair and style of Ryan Van Bergen and others with AN ENTIRE WEEK OF BLOCKHAMS STRIPS!!  The young Blockham has embraced his new identity and the changes that have arrived with it... but what will happen when the new and imrpoved Charlie takes the act to East Pneumonia Elementary???

Join Michigan's only illustrated family as they explore the follicular exploits of Team 132 and beyond!  Visit www.theblockhams.com every day to follow the story and celebrate the phenomenon known throughout Schembechler Hall as #Flow.

The Michigan Wolverines and Their Championship Tradition

By justingoblue — February 26th, 2012 at 4:36 AM — 30 comments
Filed under:
  • ALL OF THE SPORTS
  • Big Ten Championships
  • N/A

It might surprise everyone to hear that there is no concise, summarized data on Michigan athletic championships by team (this page is close, though, and was found after I completed the diary). This diary is, to my knowledge, going to be the first (crude) repository of Michigan's team and individual championship history by sport. I will include number of conference championships, latest year, and number of national championships as well.

The table has been edited to include regular season championships for sports with tournaments. After some thinking, that's the standard I decided to go with. I do include individual championships (tennis doubles and track relays are considered individual for this diary), with the exception of women's tennis, simply because I could not find the information. I would be happy to add them to the chart if someone can give me a total number of women's singles/doubles Big Ten championships. One more note before starting: for hockey, the Big Ten titles won during the 1960's will count towards the total number of conference championships. This is not meant to be a list of CCHA champions, rather a look at M hockey and their championship tradition.

All data was compiled from either the Bentley Historical Library or MGoBlue. There may be inaccuracies, simply because I'm human, or more likely one of the sources messed it up and my counting/notes were perfect.

It wouldn't be a diary without a...Chart? Chart.

On a related note, I had an idea for an MGoProject. I think it would be nice if we could work together and create a page for each Wolverine athletic team which could then be edited by other users for updates/corrections. If we did this in a standard form that included coaching histories, championship years, All-American/All-Conference selections, ect. we could put the pages into the User Created HoF and they would be easily accessible to anyone looking for information on a particular sport. I could volunteer to take several sports, and users could post on a team they follow closely (i.e. MGoSoftball could make the softball page). If that idea resonates with enough users, I'll create a template and post it as a diary, and we can begin. If you're interested, or want to tell me that it's a dumb idea, just let me know here

Zack Novak Tribute Art (Now with STUUUUUU!!!)

By jonvalk — February 26th, 2012 at 3:20 AM — 16 comments

It was done on my iPad tonight after the loss. It's not my best work, but I feel it captures Zack pretty well.

And here's my Stu tribute...Again, these were done on my iPad, so the quality may be a little lacking.

 

EDIT: Fixed the gigantor size of the art that posting from the iPad wouldn't allow.

On this episode of B10 Recruiting Wars..

B10 Recruiting Wars  -  Season 13 - Episode 1

"Hoke Leaves B10 'Heartbroke' ";

Premise: A new day, a new season. The battles to be waged will be fierce, as Ohio has employed the mercenary  to replace the fallen icon, and those Spartans have started to turn on field success into off-field mediocrity. Against the tide stands Michigans Man, Brady Hoke.

 

Brady Hoke: I just want you young men to understand, this is a commitment to both your future and the Teams future. We as a coaching staff will give our  blood, sweat, and tears to make you the best Michigan Man you can be;  on and off the field.  We will not hand you anything, we will not take anything less than your best day in and day out. Earn every accolade you receive.  Work hard, play harder, and you will win at life and football."

 

 

Commits: "WE ARE IN."

 

Dantonio: *stomping around in cape and Sparta helmet screaming in Gerard Butler voice*

"I.. win ....ALL THE GAMES. This... is... MY STATE. This... is.... MY RECRUITING CLIN...   *whiny child voice* WHAT! This is my junior weekend!"

 

Hoke: *consoling petulant child voice*

 "Shhhhh.. there there... Keep it down, I'm busy taking your 'leans'.. you'll get some guys once my class is full. I promise."

 

Dantonio:  

 

Meyer: *kicks open door and somersaults into room throwing national championship-ring ninja stars*

"See my guns! I will run spread-n-shredd. I will  take ALL THE RECRUITS."

 

Hoke: "Oh you need offensive linemen…  I'll take Fox and Bosch."

 

Meyer:  " BRO! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!"

 

Hoke:

 

And so ends the opening episode of B10 Recruiting. Hoke has resurrected the proudest program in sports, and put the conference on notice that Michigan is MICHIGAN... fergodsakes.
