1990 Michigan Football recruiting guide

Submitted by Baughlieve on

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 ;)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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:
