Garden Rewards & Game [Ed-PGB: READ THIS!]

I want to think the mgoblog community for allowing me to become part of something so special and helping us reach our goal for the garden project. The rewards took a little longer than we expected but we got them all ordered and as soon as we get the order back you will get your reward. (Side Note) I will be attending my first game in the BIG HOUSE 11-10-2012 I'm tired of watching the games from home and i'm ready to tailgate never got that chance to do it because i was always playing so i'm ready to experience that.

Thanks for stopping in.  You're doing a great service to those from your hometown.  However, I have some hard hitting questions for you:

1. As a former small (by football standards) player on a major BCS team, are you at all jealous that Doug Martin got the nickname "The Muscle Hamster"?  Had that been your backup nickname if Tay didn't pan out?

2. What the hell was up with the Greg Robinson beaver?  Part of the "cuttin' wood" theme?

3. Could I beat Denard Robinson in a footrace if he was drunk and wearing roller skates?

Hail.

I want to congratulate you on all you have done for the University and your community. I am glad the Kickstarter campaign went so well. The swag was definitely an encouraging reason to donate, but moreso the money is going to a good cause.

If I can be selfish for a moment, it would be great if you continue to check in here from time to time, especially to drop some of your football knowledge on us all.  Regardless, know that you were appreciated by all of us for all that you did on the football field and now for all that you are doing as a representative of Michigan in the "real" world.
