"Legends Tunnel" needs an update
Not sure who you delete but you need to add (at least) McCarthy and Corum and Zinter and Sainristil and Colson and Wilson and Jenkins and don't forget Aidan (put him next to his "uncle") and Moody and etc. etc. ... Tough assignment, hope someone has their Photoshop game going on.

I was scared this was going to be a bitter troll post blaming the tunnel for all the woes of mankind.
But my fears were assuaged by that bada$$ picture - one that most certainly needs an update.
Ohh that's pretty damn cool. Never seen it
Problem is that we need (many) more jerseys to name-fill. Great problem, yes, but still a real problem. So much excellence, so few jerseys.

There is an easy fix. The actual tunnel received an update before 2023 and is much wider at field level (remember FYS! and rogue PBJ's). Plenty of room for JJ's team and Orji's team.

Corum and Hutchinson, definitely yes. Moody, yes. Zinter, yes. Sainristil, probably misses the cut. I think it is a definite no on everyone else. I think most of the players pictured made an All-America team I believe, and many won individual awards as well.
I think Will Johnson and Mason Graham will be in the conversation when their career is over. My pick for player who is missing is Brandon Graham. Toiled on some of the worst Michigan teams but one of the all-time greats.
Mike Sainristil is totally deserving. In the 46 seasons I've had season tickets, I've only seen a handful of Michigan defensive backs who have had college football careers as impactful and impressive as what he's done consistently over his Michigan career.
And to think, Sainristil was initially a pretty darn good little receiver before volunteering to switch positions to help shore up an area of weakness on the defensive side of the ball.
Sainristil belongs all day long! Dude is a football player, playmaker, leader, buckeye killer, etc.
And he plays piano, violin, and drums and also speaks Creole.
No Sainristil? Worst. Take. Ever.
So JJ is a “definite no” in your opinion…

I say we give Team 144 its own tunnel.

I was thinking the tunnel needs a mural depicting these three trophies.

I need a framed print of this!
Photoshop out the old guy and put in some players.
LOL, I personally know "scanner blue" and can tell you he's 60-ish going on 20.

That's some a-maizing hardware Scanner!
It's great to be a Meeeechigan Wolverine!!
I wish they would brick the tunnel at this point - with each brick having a player's name/number/years. Maybe add silver/gold font for champion players over the years. Now that would truly make it a legends tunnel.
Considering the length/height of the tunnel and the sheer amount of bricks that would be needed, you would have enough space for every player+staff from the 1800s well into the 2100s.
That, and championship years/player numbers on the luxury suites would be a nice touch to bring some history into the seating area.
That photo needs Ron Johnson wearing a helmet where the three stripes connect halfway up the back of the helmet instead of at the bottom
