Fred Jackson Facts
In Brian's post today, he discussed longtime runningbacks coach Fred Jackson and his ability to survive a nuclear winter. This fact got me thinking of other Fred Jackson facts that I would like to share with you. Of course, I am not as awesome as Fred Jackson so I don't know all the facts. Hopefully many fellow MGO-Users can inform the community about Fred Jackson facts I have overlooked.
- Fred Jackson pioneered the forward pass
- Fred Jackson brought the winged helmet to Michigan
- Fred Jackson can bench press as much as Jake Long
- Fred Jackson's sports knowledge knows no boundaries. He trained Darius Morris all summer on the finer points of dribble penetration
- The Big Chill was Fred Jackson's idea
- So was YouTube
So are there any other Fred Jackson facts I have missed?

When Fred Jackson was 12, his dad walked into his room, sat on his bed and said "Freddy, I think its time we talked about sex" so Freddy Jackson replied: "OK, what do you wanna know?"

Predatory instincts of an Orca, speed of a cheetah, coupled with the smoothness of Lando Calrissian.

January 14th, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
He is there talking with Justice Hayes

The next recruit Fred Jackson gets to commit is like Chris Johnson (but faster), like Barry Sanders (but more agile), like Earl Campbell (but stronger) and like Mike Hart (with better ball security).
January 14th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
That recruit sounds like Mike Nobler: http://thehusker.com/mike-nobler-viral/

A ten foot monster that slept with all of our wives. He punched us all in the face, and we loved him for it.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^

Prediction: this thread is going to be legen-wait for it-dary.

Is to create an MGoBlog meme that will live forever along with Tacopants.
Fred Jackson is one of a very select group of individuals qualified for an internet meme. He's like a more talented version of keyboard cat, more gruff than epic beard man, and I guarantee you if he were in Mobile Alabama he would have found the leprachaun. And the gold.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
Ha! But you know it wasn't a leprechaun, right? It was "probably just a crack head that got ahold of the wrong stuff, and it told him to go up in the tree and play a leprechaun!"
That never gets old with me.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
Fred did walk from San Diego to Ann Arbor. In fact, he does it every day.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:17 PM ^
...and does it faster than an airplane.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
I love Freddy j more than most people, and I gotta wonder if you guys are flirting with the line between laughing with him and laughing at him. He's a positive guy and loves his players, always looking for the good in people. I'm bit saying you are going overboard, but sometimes it seems like some people are making fun of him, which is not very chill, brah.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
Fred Jackson would laugh at this thread with us.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
Fred Jackson has been with the program since 1992! He is loyal and a solid coach. So what if his quotes on running backs stretch the truth. Fred Jackson is the fucking man and he deserves this thread. BTW, I am very glad to see is coming back (obviously.)
January 14th, 2011 at 12:25 PM ^
Fred Jackson thinks your comment is just ok.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
Is a great coach and a great guy! And one helluva recruiter!
January 14th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
I find your screen name ironic, as you just killed the collective mood of this thread.
January 14th, 2011 at 3:36 PM ^
i would dominate in any other thread.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
not very chill, brah
If Fred Jackson negbanged this, you would cease to exist (possibly your parents too)

I'm not in the loop with the Fj hyperbole jokes...

Fred Jackson once had a staring contest with a wall. And won.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
Fred Jackson is Lloyd Brady's legal guardian. How else do you get front row seats to everything?
January 14th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
"The Team" in Bo's speech was a metaphor of Fred Jackson.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
Fred fasted for 40 days and 40 nights... but faster.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:24 PM ^
fred invented the internet
January 14th, 2011 at 12:27 PM ^
Fred Jackson can dodge bullets like the guys in the Matrix, only faster, and allows players to let off a couple rounds at him at any moment. Hence players keeping guns out when he's around.

Ha! Love it!
January 14th, 2011 at 12:27 PM ^

the old helmet stickers were actually a picture of Fred riding an elephant sized wolverine.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
Fred Jackson knows all the words to "The Victors" because he wrote the song.
Another little known fact is that he is the one who told Paul McCartney that "Hey Dude" just didn't sound right and that he should change it.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
used Fred Jackson's autobiography for their "Most Interesting Man in World" commercials.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
Fred Jackson cannot bench press as much as Jake Long can, that would be ridiculous.
In truth, Fred Jackson can bench press Jake Long...while Jake Long is bench pressing.
January 14th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
It is only because of FJ's humility that we have "The Victors", today. The original lyrics began, "Hail to Coach Freddy Jackson".
