Elimination Rounds are tomorrow from 9 - 12 at Avondale High School. Anybody ever gone to one of these? Is it worth a 20 minute drive?

Also, does anyone know if any Michigan targets/commits are supposed to be there?

Mike Farrell just tweeted this about Hand's recruitment (yes, we are recruiting players not named Jabrill Peppers, just in case anyone forgot).

I think #Michigan and #hokies are tied in lead for Da'Shawn Hand with #gamecocks behind them at this stage.

This is a definite shift from before, as for a while he seemed pretty set on VT leading us for his recruitment.  And with Mike Farrell's annoying habit of being very accurate with his predictions, this bodes very well for us, giving us a great chance to get the #1 and #2 players in the nation (at least according to Rivals).

Hey, everyone. This is actually my first thread and it's a request for two video clips I can no longer find from Carr's last game. I technically found very short and out of sequence clips for the first I'll mention but cannot find the second in any length despite it being played on the season ending episode of Inside Michigan Football, IIRC. 1. The first video is the video at the end of the game when Carr addresses the team about how proud he is, how he loves them, stay in school, etc. Team has some fun with him and he gets a little choked up. It's just a great video. 2. The second video is the one I really want and cannot find at all (tried google, youtube, mgoblue, mtorrents, etc). I've only seen it twice and it's another video that shows no gameplay. It was at halftime and we were tearing UF apart but the game was close due to insane fumbles literally on the 1 inch line by a guy that never fumbled (Mike Hart) no less. Anyway, as the team is about to go out for the 2nd half, Ron English stops at the door next to Carr and with an intensity I've rarely seen in anyone he absolutely yells, screams as he is demanding and comanding the team to "PLAY FOR THIS MAN!". Carr again puts his head down a bit as he is choking up as English is getting the players absolugely amped as he keeps repeating that mantra: "PLAY FOR THIS MAN! PLAY FOR THIS MAN!" It was intense and absolutely gave me goosebumps as ESPN/ABC played a snip of it during the game due to it being Carr's last and having locker access for that storyline but the entire scene was played on Michigan Weekly due to the cameras they had in the room the entire time and own the rights to. I cannot find that anywhere now and it's a classic. I'm usually god at finding just about anything but that 2nd video especially is one I cannot even find a snip, like it never happened. Thanks for any help and GO BLUE!!!!!

Being that  I had a rare Friday off and absolutely nothing better to do, I watched the BTN special on the 1997 Michigan National Championship team. I had always had a lot of respect for Brian Griese, but I think he moved into the top spot for me in terms of my favorite Michigan signal callers. He will never go down as the most talented Michigan QB, but he just used everything he had to be as good as he could be on every snap. With that being said, I'm curious which QB the MgoBlog community would have as their favorite Michigan QB.

They're even the right color!
