I hate to be that guy, but I have to say that this is what happens when you try to grow a large deposit of mistletoe near the birch tree outside the living room window. It grows in shrub-like deposits, you see, and can overhang entire portions of your house, if you're not careful. You might even be lucky that you caught Santa when you did.

Good for Desmond - I wish him good fortune in his new career!

I do have to wonder, though, about the head coach.  Really not sure why he would place an All-Big Ten LB as a GA on the offensive line.  But Desmond knows football, I'm sure he'll be alright...

A lot of coaches coach positions they never played, let alone start out coaching positions they never played. Fisch played tennis. Rich Rod was a safety. Meyer was a defensive back. Drevno started out with TEs and RBs. Fred Jackson was a QB. Carr played QB and came up as a DB coach. The examples are nearly endless.

Oline coaching is tough. There so many variables that you have to be aware of. He's never played that position before so he doesn't have the first-hand experience. But once you understand offensive line concepts, you can be a head football coach and do very well. Best wishes to ya Des!

Well done, Desmond. Now go make the most of it.

Hope to see you patrolling Michigan's sidelines again in the near future. Earn your bones and I'm betting Harbaugh has a place for you on staff in a few years.

Why?

Because while reading WD's thread about the Michigan uniform fonts, I realized that we've not done our 'due diligence' in inspecting the uniforms and fonts of  the team Desmond Morgan is about to help coach. 

Here's a look at the Wayne St. Tartars in their football uniforms:

Now take as good long look---don't we need to have a long and thoughtful discussion on

the pros and cons of Wayne fonts?

I made the mistake of copying the first good picture I came across whem I googled Wayne State.   Didn't at all notice that it was Wayne State COLLEGE..  My bad!

Here's the "real" Wayne State UNIVERSITY  Tartars/Warriors:

NOW how do you like these Wayne fonts?
