Coner = kid from Deliverance?
I was looking through some pictures from spring practice last year, and I realized that if you could just give the Coner a banjo, the resemblance would be creepy:

David Cone is a true Michigan Man. He is the glue that holds the team together and I honestly have a ton of respect for him even though he makes funny faces when throwing.

Gee whiz, I'd really like to contribute and offer some insight that will only add to the glory of Michigan. Hmm, what can I do... Oh, I know!
I'll make fun of a 21 year old simply because of the way he looks!
And not just any college kid, mind you... but one of our very own. One who actually has the honor of wearing the winged helmet, even if it is just during the week.
There's damn Buckeye fans around here that wouldn't stoop this low...

calm down there, its a joke. you apparently took it wrong if you thought it was malicious. everyone loves the coner
ps. he does look like the deliverance kid in that one picture

Pardon me for offending your delicate sensibilities... I don't care what uniform the kid wears on Saturdays - I saw someone making a goofy face in a picture and thought it was funny. If you think a winged helmet should make someone immune from a little light-hearted humor, then that's your business. Personally, I think we should be able to laugh at everyone equally.
Or maybe you're just in a trollish mood... I can't really tell this early in the morning.

I know it's all in good fun, and I'm not all pissed off/fired up the way you might have taken it to be. But, dude!!
I'm sure you meant "you bear an uncanny resemblance to an inbred Appalachian freak" in the most complimentary way, I'm sure.

you're looking into this too much

Does this mean it's also not okay to suggest that one of the players on our basketball team has a striking resemblance to a certain dead comedian with a lazy eye who also happened to host a lousy sitcom on Fox?

This trash has no place here, this is the internet, and it is serious fucking business. How dare you bring lighthearted humor into it, especially against a member of the Michigan Wolverines football team, which noone on here, especially not the author of the site, has ever said anything insulting about, like comparing them to a suicidal kitten or anything of the sorts.
I hope you have learned your lesson sir, and maybe once you realize you should never make fun of anyone on the internet, you can be a valuable poster here.

Check out jimmy potempa in picture 28 of 32 in that photo gallery from last spring. That is simply outstanding.

I know that mullets are big in Michigan but that's taking a mullet to the extreme!

I thought the post was pretty funny. And there is a slight resemblance there.
It would be nice to hear a little banjo music on the diag in the spring.....
