100th point! My favorite 100 UM players of all time!
Since this is my 100th point I figured what better way to celebrate than to post my fav 100 players ever. Now these are just guys I liked and cheered for. This has nothing to do with talent or where they rank in UM history. Just the guys I liked the best. I started watching in 90 when I was 8 and so my list has a lot of 90's and 00 players. I have hard time remembering before 95. Enjoy and Share! GO BLUE!

Bennie Joppru is only 75? He makes my top 15.
August 14th, 2009 at 7:45 PM ^
Yeah I guess I just didn't jump on the Bennie train as much as everyone else.
August 14th, 2009 at 7:47 PM ^
Law makes my top ten. He was the first defensive player who ever made me look away from the QB when UM was on defense. I was amazed at how he stuck to recievers.
August 14th, 2009 at 7:49 PM ^
When I get to 2000 points, I'll post my top 100 as well.
August 14th, 2009 at 7:54 PM ^
Nope it's gotta be top 2000! There are rules!
August 14th, 2009 at 7:58 PM ^
Mcguffie at 26? He didn't even finish 1 season. I'd have henne and breaston higher.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:03 PM ^
All his hype did that to me and made me like him probably to much.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:00 PM ^
100 took me a few hours.. 2000 will take you a few weeks. Good luck.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:02 PM ^
I'll do 200. I'm not sure I could name 2000.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:17 PM ^
I gave you your 2000th point. This makes me feel special, congrats!
August 14th, 2009 at 8:19 PM ^
Wooo!
August 14th, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
so you remember where you came from.
...
then I voted you up for fear you'd orchestrate a 2k negbang on my ass.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:09 PM ^
Bennie Joppru FTW!
August 14th, 2009 at 8:25 PM ^
well done,
I would give you a point but then you would have to keep adding players
August 14th, 2009 at 8:30 PM ^
Rob Lytle? Dan Dierdorf? Jamie Morris? Anthony Carter? John Kolesar?
Leroy Hoard
Dare I say it....?
EFF ELL EYE ENN TEE.........
How about these guys from Flint?
Rick Leach, Gene Johnson, Rodney Feaster, Steve Smith (Ok GB), Brian Carpenter, Gary Lee, Mike Leoni,Tony Leoni, Andre Weathers,
August 14th, 2009 at 8:43 PM ^
Where is #92?
August 14th, 2009 at 8:44 PM ^
Kudos to you, I spent half an hour working on a last and could only manage 45.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:12 PM ^
Its a nice list, I think Sam McGuffie and Greg Mathews are to high though seeing they haven't done much on the field.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:19 PM ^
Cissoko over Leon Hall? And Mathews over Avant? Otherwise, good list. For some reason when I was a kid I liked LeSueur and Curry. I can't even remember if they were good.
August 17th, 2009 at 1:01 AM ^
LeSueur was serviceable and Curry is awesome only for the Lloyd "you ever drink a beer" quote/drop from Parker and the Man.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:15 PM ^
Zoltan only #20? I dont think hes going to like this.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:16 PM ^
Now that I think about it I did like Hall a lot and that is a mistake on my part. Just remember this list isn't about what they did or talents.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
NIce list.....I understand that its "your list" I would guess based on your list that you either are much younger than I am or did not watch much UM Football in the 70-80s, your list is heavily 90s........
Shredder, I fear you may face the wrath of ranking no. 20 so low.....I can not say his name and no.20 in the same breath for fear of retribution.....Fear the Zoltan
August 14th, 2009 at 9:19 PM ^
I loved Mundy before he left. He could have been one of the few good safeties we've had in the last 10 years.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:19 PM ^
Nice work putting Carl Tabb on the list. I lost track of how many times he prevented a TD on a kick return. He also had a huge catch in the 2003 OSU game.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:35 PM ^
I'm too young to remember seeing anyone who played before about 2000 but:
20: Martavious Odoms
19: Drew Henson
18: Sam McGuffie (I bought into the hype)
17: John Navarre
16: David Harris
15: Steve Breaston
14: Anthony Thomas
13: Brandon Graham
12: Donovan Warren
11: Jason Avant
10: Zoltan Mesko
9: Marlin Jackson
8: David Terrell
7: Leon Hall
6: Chris Perry
5: Chad Henne
4: Jake Long
3: LaMarr Woodley
2: Braylon Edwards
1: Mike Hart
August 16th, 2009 at 2:07 AM ^
Coner.
August 16th, 2009 at 11:35 PM ^
Tripp Welbourne, Rick Leach, Steve Morrison, Harlan Huckleby,
Bubba Paris, John Wrangler and one of my all time favorites Jamie Morris.
August 16th, 2009 at 11:46 PM ^
...Steve Everitt for playing with a broken jaw.
Vada Murray for what he's going through now.
And Elliott Mealer, for what he went through, and how he is now in a position to contribute in his Michigan career.
August 16th, 2009 at 11:59 PM ^
Super Mario moves into the top 10 for me and I don't think I would have Warren as high as he is...
August 17th, 2009 at 1:03 AM ^
Tyrone Wheatley, Tim Biakabatuka are easily in my top 10....
