1990 Michigan Football recruiting guide
I was searching for some old football programs on ebay and found this 1990 recruiting guide. There is a strong emphasis on the UofM football program from top to bottom, including such details as coaching staff, all-americans, bowl games, the campus, strength & conditioning etc. Lloyd's quote is tremendous ;)

Wow, Lloyd looks young. Les somehow looks about the same as now.
February 12th, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
Also, that Lloyd quote could not be more perfect, right? For those who didn't full-size the photos:
The challenges at Michigan are tremendous! So are the rewards!!

I've heard Lloyd speak many times. I can't think of one occasion where he spoke with exclamation points, much less in a way that indicated a double exclamation point. Even when he told the team "You just won the national championship" after the Rose Bowl it was in a deliberate, matter-of-fact tone. Maybe his quote was ghost-written.

Les Miles can control time. That is how he has won so many of his games at LSU and why he doesnt age.
February 12th, 2015 at 5:45 PM ^
+1
Les just fools you into thinking he's blowing the clock when it's actually under HIS control.
February 12th, 2015 at 6:02 PM ^
I'm so glad your left ring finger executed the typing of the letter "l" in clock.
February 12th, 2015 at 4:53 PM ^
Les must be slipping off to Mexico in the off season for HGH and stem cell cocktails.
February 12th, 2015 at 1:05 PM ^
Surely he has a copy.
February 12th, 2015 at 1:07 PM ^
That IS his copy. He has three and he's selling the replacement to his back-up copy.
Reluctantly.
February 12th, 2015 at 3:18 PM ^
He's gotta find a way to buy the latest Michigan socks.
February 12th, 2015 at 1:08 PM ^
Anthony Carter, Stefan Humphries, Mark Messner all in the same pic. And that QB from 1986 looks pretty good too!
February 12th, 2015 at 1:10 PM ^
I saw this and 100% assumed WD would be the OP.
*waits for random statistics from said WD*

Interesting. That might help me find some information on past support staffs.
I'm looking to put together the complete history and timelines of every football employee. Already got all assistant coaches covered. Now I'm looking for strength staff to recruiting staff to team physicians and make the Football SuperGuide the most complete guide of any kind out there.
Might buy. I thought this title suggested it was a media guide of some sort on the incoming freshman class of 1990. But this might be better and I'd save some money on it.

Would interesting to have a collection of some of these. My! How the times they have changed . . .

Tripp Welbourne
John Vitale - RIP. Tough as nails. Passed away years ago, unfortunately.
AC
Mess - I'm not sure that guy could bench 225 but he could play football, man.
Jumbo Elliott. Nicest guy off the field, but an absolute mercinary on it.
Stefan Humphries - the quiet genius
Mike Hammerstein. Loved watching this guy play. He was soo good.
Harbs - not sure what ever happened to that guy
Brad Cochrane out of Royal Oak, played at Rice. He was a unique guy and a hell of a player.
February 12th, 2015 at 2:35 PM ^
I went to DCC for High School. Messner was my freakin' idol. undersized guy who somehow always managed to be around the ball. Also super nice.
February 12th, 2015 at 2:44 PM ^
Recent followers of Michigan football would be amazed to watch Tripp Welbourne play. He actually understood the concept of what a safety was supposed to do. And I believe his fellow safety was Vada Murray (RIP, right?), who also understood what a safety was supposed to do. Two safeties who played at the same time, and both understood what they were doing! What a concept!!

I think it was the 1990 edition. The recipient was a 5'10" 175-lb speedster that ultimately attended Bowling Green. My history teacher, then an assistant coach who has since turned a nearby school into a lower division power, showed it to me because he knew of my allegiance. It had Tripp and Vada blocking an extra point against MSU the previous season. Those dudes could sky.
February 12th, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
Tripp was the best - excellent punt returner too. There are some great old photos of Tripp and Vada jumping out of the gym to block kicks.
February 12th, 2015 at 4:10 PM ^
They're doing push-ups in the diag on the strength and conditioning page. Crazy. Could you imagine the scene if they tried to do that today with Harbaugh leading one-handers in the middle?
February 12th, 2015 at 4:27 PM ^
When was the last time we had a S&C coach run with the team? I'm sure they do it but seeing Gittleson doing it is fun for some nostalgic reason.
February 12th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
in a player's face like that. The Every Three Weekly had a Lloyd Carr's Secret Playbook, which may have been Brian's creation. I have a copy on my photobucket account but can't access that from work. I came across this gem when attempting to Google it:
I say no. The answer you're searching for is:
February 12th, 2015 at 5:55 PM ^
PLLEEEEEASSSEEE send me a copy of the Lloyd Carr's Secret Playbook. I remembered it for a long time and finally got around to asking Brian if that was him and he said no but he remembered the guy who did it.
February 13th, 2015 at 8:59 AM ^
I attempted to send it from photobucket using my phone, hope it arrives.
Prevent (Us from winning)!
February 12th, 2015 at 7:16 PM ^
Gosh that Amaker picture is horrifying.

Tripp was caught up in that bad stretch of annual knee blowouts again Minnesota, IIRC.
