My "Cool Story Bro"
Mario Ojemudia was staying at my hotel in California this week. I got the opposite of the "Death Stare" when I said "Go Blue!" after recognizing him. He said he was bummed about missing "the best year in my career" due to injury. Hopefully he has a long, successful career in the NFL.

hes not enjoying the beautiful Michigan weather??
February 12th, 2016 at 11:45 PM ^
That's because Harbaugh is forcing him to spend a week in California.
February 12th, 2016 at 11:53 PM ^
And doing so, knowing he is committing dozens of NCAA violations.
Poor kids.
February 13th, 2016 at 11:08 AM ^
Not yet, but if that great humanitarian organization, the SEC, has its way, he will be in violation.
February 13th, 2016 at 8:34 AM ^
Wait until the SEC finds out. He needs to think of the kids.
February 12th, 2016 at 11:41 PM ^
Gotta love this team. All of them seem like great guys that love Michigan.
February 12th, 2016 at 11:54 PM ^
Either you're tall or he's small.. Go Blue!

I'm 6' 4". I think he's 6' 3"? The pic doesn't do justice to how much bigger he is than me.
February 13th, 2016 at 6:32 AM ^
Which one is Ojemudia?

Look at their torsos for a moment. Just a moment

6'2 250. He's stacked, just wouldn't peg him as DE on first glance at this picture.

Don't forget Mario came to michigan pretty light. He gained about 40lbs in 4 years.
February 13th, 2016 at 8:35 AM ^
Waht if we don't want to look at his torso? NTTAWWT.
February 13th, 2016 at 9:49 AM ^
Can't stop looking ...

Mario's bicep is bigger than the OP's entire thigh.
February 13th, 2016 at 9:40 AM ^
This is the very first thought I had. The second is it looks like he's carrying a bit of extra weight around the mid section.
February 12th, 2016 at 11:57 PM ^
:(
Can't believe he's a graduating senior. I remember going to that big Cass Tech-Harrison game at EMU when it was Royce Jenkins-Stone and Terry Richardson (and future commits Jourdan Lewis, Delano Hill & Dave Dawson) against Funchess and Ojemudia.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:02 AM ^
And Mr. Ojemudia is very dark. There's a joke to be made here, but I'm not in any condition to make it. I'll check back in tomorrow.
/and that was a CSB
February 13th, 2016 at 7:00 AM ^
I'm just glad you cleared up the confusion. Saves me from asking who is who in the picture.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:08 AM ^
Cool story, cool pic, and I sure do wish Mario well. Go Blue!
February 13th, 2016 at 12:13 AM ^
I own those sandals!!!! Mario and I are of one mind.
February 13th, 2016 at 9:35 AM ^
Two men, one mind?
February 13th, 2016 at 12:18 AM ^
the shirt, shorts and shoes that Mario is wearing so I can be like him.
February 13th, 2016 at 2:30 AM ^
I'd make a joke about this being another WD account, but he probably has all that stuff already.

Well played sir..
February 13th, 2016 at 12:19 AM ^
how he knew so confidently that he was in the midst of his best season after basically playing just half of the season.
That really says something about this coaching staff, not that we didn't already know it, it's just nice to keep getting affirmation of it.
Good luck Mario, I hope you get a fair shot in the NFL and have a good career!!!
February 13th, 2016 at 12:19 AM ^
Very cool. Good story too. Hope he's ok to play. He deserves better than to end on that injury.

That's the joke. +1
February 13th, 2016 at 12:39 AM ^
where in CA? I'm in the OC (CDM)...might have to stalk that hotel lol

lol I know, I'm never in the right place at the right time to get a "cool story, bro" pic.
I did tutor Courtney Sims and Dion Harris once (which was rare, because it was normally wrestling, water polo or baseball players) when I worked for the athletic dept in undergrad as a tutor. but unfortunately, no pics!
February 13th, 2016 at 7:38 AM ^
Courtney Sims used to go to my former gym. We talked every once in a while. I don't remember the conversations at all.
February 13th, 2016 at 10:57 AM ^
Looks like Pasadena or maybe the Valley ...Westlake or Thousand Oaks.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:07 AM ^
It's refreshing to know that Harbaugh's NFL connections should help Mario get a much better shot at playing in the league that he otherwise may not have had due to his season-ending injury.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:42 AM ^
Is this true though? I am hoping so but not sure if I think it would make an effect.

He was great at keeping contain on option plays. Could have used that against OSU.
Really hope Mario lands in the NFL!

That's a good story. I'm sure that Mario will get a shot to work his way on to an NFL roster. He only played half a season, but he has good tape from that time and has talent. If he'd come on the scene and only played the last half of the season, we would expect him to have a good shot at getting looked at by the NFL. I suspect his position isn't too different if he's healthy now.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:15 AM ^
I've read such a post and gone "wow, genuinely cool story" and not "wow, this kid is a tool"
February 13th, 2016 at 3:44 AM ^
I'm not being a dick - but what makes this story more cool?

being here to experience it with me. :)

Still waiting on my Cool Story Bro moment.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:24 AM ^
Super Mario Brothers!
February 13th, 2016 at 7:06 AM ^
would you have recognized him if he hadn't been wearing the shirt? but CSB.
February 13th, 2016 at 7:11 AM ^
Are there mirrors on the ceiling and pink champagne on ice?
I assume you're still there, since you can never leave.
February 13th, 2016 at 7:24 AM ^
+1, especially with Glenn Frey's passing last month.
February 13th, 2016 at 7:26 AM ^
You will be forced to remember that you wore skinny jeans for the rest of your life.

And I mean that sincerely. Best of luck to Mario
February 13th, 2016 at 8:16 AM ^
This would be one of those occasions on the blog where, yes, cool story indeed.
It really was a shame that Mario was injured in what was turning out to be an excellent season for him, and I will be one of the many here looking for him to get some time on the field on Sunday too.
February 13th, 2016 at 8:37 AM ^
Looks like you weigh about 10 pounds.
