Jay Harbaugh sent out tweet, RE: Live Wolverine
Jay Harbaugh sent out a tweet last night asking if it was legal to own a Wolverine?
Although a deadly animal, I have always thought it would be kind of cool to have a Wolverine at the U of M. Of course in captivity in a nice posh zoo like dwelling, but this would be very cool.
Apparently back in the 20's and I have not verified this U of M did have one on the sidelines caged, but it was so ferocious they never done it again.
What do you think? Would this be something that would ever be possible or totally nuts?
I wasjust trying to lighten the blog a little with all that has happened with the disappointment from the Frat's.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:43 AM ^
I think it would be even more nuts to have a live buckeye on the sideline.
I'll see myself out.

Nothing in this thread even remotely related to a Buckeye. Why did you even bring that up?

My response to the tweet: Are you crazy would be a little more accurate, but I would be lying if I said I have not thought about it over the years and how cool it would be, if possible!
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:55 AM ^
most likely for the lulz.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:55 AM ^
Because it was a funny quip
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:59 AM ^
Which is good enough for me.
EDIT: Speaking of buckeyes...did anyone see this story? What a couple of classless jackasses (putting here because I don't think it deserves its own thread)
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:18 AM ^
Crass, classless behavior is the norm for Buckeyes. I'd expect a Michigan player involved in similar shenanigans to be swifty relieved of his duties.
January 23rd, 2015 at 11:44 AM ^
Relieved of his duties? Kicked off the team? It's not even close to deserving that. I'd bet a million you wouldn't keep your word if a Michigan player did it.

January 23rd, 2015 at 9:01 AM ^
It was just nutty.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:04 AM ^
cracked me up, that's for sure.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:13 AM ^
Sheepdog's comment had a kernel of truth in it.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:17 AM ^
Who doesn't like acorny joke?
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:17 AM ^
that's all we need I suppose.

Who knew they could drupe so low?
January 23rd, 2015 at 2:54 PM ^
Very well played.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:03 AM ^
Probably should have said all.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:28 AM ^
You ever wonder how those three guys always get tickets to the games and what their occupations are?
January 23rd, 2015 at 1:08 PM ^
Here's one guy. Jon Peters (NTJPOTJPE)
Jon Peters said despite recent rumors he has heard, he pays for all his tickets and sits in his assigned seat. This is his second year receiving tickets through the Buckeye Club and his fifth year with season tickets. For three years he received tickets through a personal friend, he said.
He said he works out a deal with “a guy he knows” when he gets tickets in the south stands at football games, which he prefers because “the students are a lot more active.” He said his often-front-row seat isn’t because of wanting TV time, but rather so he can sit when he wants but can still see the game. Jon Peters has now had a double knee replacement.
He's a Value City Buckeye having gonna to Terra Community College.

I always wonder how they end up in Row 1. I saw one of those clowns in Row 1 of the championship game I think. Do they really have a few thousand dollars to spend on away games for travel and tickets? I'd be a little surprised if they could afford that on their salaries from Burger King

Maybe as a gimp?
(hey! wait for me! where we goin?)
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:45 AM ^
They did have one once. Biff. Didn't go well.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:45 AM ^
We should just have a live twitter feed to the side on this website, kind of like how MGoBlue.com has a little section that shows anyones twitter feed related to Michigan sports.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:49 AM ^
That would require bringing mgoblog's layout into the 21st century.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:50 AM ^
The only thing change brings us is a less reliable handheld phone and worse Doctor Who's.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:46 AM ^
I think it would be cool to have a large cage somewhere on campus with a couple wolverines
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:26 AM ^
How about we put you in a large cage. I think that would be pretty cool. Let these guys roam free.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:46 AM ^
Jay just bein a kid. :)
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:47 AM ^
If that thing got loose. Would at least take care of the squirrel population.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:49 AM ^
Wolverines live are nasty nasty creatures with an insatiable appetite. On the other hand, campus would also likely see a 20% decrease in mutant supervillian related hijinx.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:51 AM ^
I'm not a left wing person, but really hate the idea of caged animals. It's just not right, as wild animals should be in their natural environments. I suppose it's OK for endangered species, though. I like going to the zoo, but still don't believe they should be allowed. I know that sounds hypocritical, but that's just what I feel.
SOOOOOOO, we should not have a caged wolverine. OP. the word "wolverine" is not a proper noun when referring to the animal.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:23 AM ^
Wolverines roam more than bears or wolves. It would be extra cruel to cage one up.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:55 AM ^
If anyone could tame a wolverine it'd be Harbaugh.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:56 AM ^
While bringing a wolverine to the Michigan games is unrealistic (for obvious reasons), I think the wolverine should be more involved with Michigan in general. That is why my icon is the old Michigan logo with the wolverine on top. The wolverine is awesome!!
Think about it, how much Michigan memorabilia actually has a wolverine on it these days.
I can't think of any except those outdoor hockey uniforms Michigan wore for the big chill and that really didn't even look like a wolverine to me.
I like to look through ebay at vintage Michigan clothing at it seems the wolverine was much more widely used in the 70s through the 80s.
What do you guys think?
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:04 AM ^
Wolverine Sweatshirt and it is one of my favorites! Very old, but still a favorite.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:57 AM ^
While once nearly extinct wolverines are now flourishing.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:58 AM ^
Radio tracking suggests that a wolverine can range hundres of miles in a few months. There is no "posh zoo like setting" that would possibly be good for a wild wolverine.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:06 AM ^
Beautiful wildlife that is in captivity is okay?
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:21 AM ^
That is why I have not gone to a zoo sinceI was a kid over 40 years ago.
January 23rd, 2015 at 1:13 PM ^
However, if an animal requires a habitat that large, then the detrimental impact on such an animal caused by confining its living area would likely be greater than the detrimental impact to the beautiful wildlife in captivity requiring smaller sized habitats.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:10 AM ^
different than a lion or tiger or any hunting animal currently in almost every zoo in America? I think it's likely a bad idea, but don't understand why a wolverine is different.
January 23rd, 2015 at 9:21 AM ^
The wolverines hang out in Royal Oak.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:59 AM ^
It would never fly in Ann Arbor. Far too (politically) liberal an atmosphere. I wouldn't want that anyway. Sure, it would be cool, but our hypothetical little special friend deserves freedom.
