I want to wake up to a Fred Jackson alarm clock.
FJAC: "Good morning His Dudeness, you are a great man. The greatest man I have ever seen. You are going to be victorious over this day. I know Steve Jobs and you are pretty close. By the time you retire I think people will say His Dudeness and Steve Jobs in the same sentence. Get your pants on and get out there."

this made me chuckle

Where may I purchase said product? As of late, I have been battling low self esteem, and this seems to be just the solution I've been looking for.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:24 AM ^
There is probably already an App for that.....
November 19th, 2010 at 2:20 PM ^
When I think of the entire Jackson, I imagine something like the Paul Bunyan trophy. However, the Fred Head could be quite a seller.

More motivational than Tony Robbins!
November 19th, 2010 at 10:26 AM ^
the motivational master that is Jack. Guys want to go to war for those who believe in them.

I never thought of Hopkins as Chris Perry. I always think of Perry as more of a Minor type, with more speed. Hopkins reminds me of Wheatly, but not quite as fast. It just seems like an interesting comparison.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:38 AM ^
as aspiring to be more of an A-Train back. Wheatley had sprinter speed and Perry was very quick. I see Hopkins as more of a power back like A-Train, plain and simple. I think that's what we have in Hopkins and that's how he should model his game; see the hole and power through it.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
Gotta be quick, no more bruisers for this team
Gotta be big and quick, the A-Train was great going downhill, but I don't know how he would have been on the read
November 19th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
Owen Schmitt would like to have a word with you
November 19th, 2010 at 12:45 PM ^
I don't think that guy can speak because he speaks with emotion and feelings. Instead of saying, "o I'm really upset with myself over that last play" he bashes his head with the helmet. Gotta love players who put it all on the line like he does
November 19th, 2010 at 11:13 AM ^
= Hoard. As in "The Leroy".
November 19th, 2010 at 11:24 AM ^
when I looked for a comparision too. Doesn't matter much, not a bad one in the bunch!
November 19th, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
November 19th, 2010 at 3:49 PM ^
Leroy is closer but maybe a better example is Ed Shuttleworth. Even though he was a fullback in Bo offence ('71-'73), he did lead the team in rushing his last couple years.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:17 PM ^
I was thinking he'd say A-Train too.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:37 AM ^
Not to be an armchair doc, but I wonder if Lewan's concussion-like symptons might have originated with his carry. Looks like his head hits the ground in a (un)funny way when he goes down.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:54 AM ^
November 19th, 2010 at 10:55 AM ^
But the grass was pretty soft, and it didn't seem like he hit hard.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:49 AM ^
It makes me happy to see all the good kids we're assembling on this squad, it's sort of striking how genuine they all seem. Plus, they don't seem to be stupid, so that's nice.
November 19th, 2010 at 10:49 AM ^
I don't think I've ever seen an interview with Hopkins. He looked really comfortable in front of the camera. I love hearing the team talk! Every one of them makes for a solid interview.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:08 AM ^
I have (maybe spring, but before the season) and it was solid, very solid.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:06 AM ^
First the concussion, and then he becomes the first Michigan ballcarrier in 30 years to NOT receive glowing reviews from Fred Jackson.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
At the very least, he could have thrown him a "Lewan is like Navarre, but faster" bone.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:55 AM ^
i'm fully convinced that listening to fred jackson talk may be better than 50% of the sex i've had in my lifetime
November 19th, 2010 at 12:06 PM ^
There has to be a "Sex with MarcM is like ______, but faster" joke in there somewhere.
November 19th, 2010 at 1:22 PM ^
_____ = every running back on Michigan's roster, according to Fred Jackson
November 19th, 2010 at 12:02 PM ^
Close your eyes and listen to Fred Jackson, how much does he sound like Karl Malone????
November 19th, 2010 at 2:24 PM ^
With Dee Hart coming next year, scary!
