Kovas!
Fixed,
my apologies
Go Blue!
Now that you fixed your typo
Now that you fixed your typo I look stupid. Anyway congrats to the captains.
"And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again, Michigan."
Nonsense
It's always the right thing to do to simply exclaim KOVACS!
Look out! There are Ko-
-vacs. Ouch. Sorry. I tried to warn you as soon as I saw him.
That was definately
One of the best defensive plays last year!
Love me some Kovacs.
That play really set the tone

It was pretty fantastic. My
It was pretty fantastic. My favorite was when he lit up "BOOOOOM" Herron.

Defining hits.
There were some big defensive plays in that game that really made it feel like Michigan football was back. Loved seein that game last year.
I can only continue to reference the fact that I live in an onion factory.
Nice, surprised they are only
Nice, surprised they are only doing 2. Maybe they will have a 3rd be the game captain?
Also, no need for that suspense OP. Just put it in the title.

I think the norm for Hoke is
I think the norm for Hoke is going to be 2. He said last year they had three because two people finished within 1 vote of each other.
Both of these players deserve
Both of these players deserve it. Tremendous players and even better people. Now Beat Bama!!
HEY! You there!
Fantastic choice
by the Team. Both have earned the honor in both their play and the way the have carried themselves. Congrats to #16 and #32.
Brady Hoke - High quality recruits one or two at a time.
Yes... They both certainly
Yes... They both certainly have!
The Michigan difference...
In hindsight
I should have seen this coming. Congrats.
First time since 2006
First time since 2006 Michigan has had offense-defense captains. They were Jake Long and LaMarr Woodley.
Great picks. Obviously I thought they'd be locks for sure. I'm glad the traditional two-captain format is back.

Go Blue!

That is all.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
Fair enough,
I thought people could have used the, "finally, a football thread, with real content inside." thought/feeling.
Go Blue!

Agreed
Are you hunting for page clicks OP?
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
I'll change it.
I apologize.
Go Blue!
Kovcas is awesome...
That guy is such a damn monster on defense and who could doubt Shoelace right? C'Mon!
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

that no one could see him doing it

Hard to think two more
Hard to think two more deserving guys for the honor. BTW.....we were on Middle Bass Island about a month ago (next to Put-in-Bay) here in Northern Ohio and my wife and son were both sporting Michigan gear (oddly enough I was not) when a man came up to them at the General Store and asked "are you guys Michigan fans?" When we all said YES he said "my nephew is Jordan Kovacs....if you give me your address I'll have him autograph a picture for you.". Sure enough about three days ago a pic of Jordan laying out the Western Michigan QB arrives in the mail with a "Best wishes to Tommy (my son's name) from Jordan. GO BLUE!" written across the bottom in silver ink.
Cool story bro

Really? Why? Its not funny

couldnt imagine two other seniors being chosen for team 133 captains
"What" ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
I was having a hard time
I was having a hard time figuring out who the third captain would be....I guess that's with good reason.
I was thinking Roh, Roundtree or Campbell, with one of the senior interior lineman as a darkhorse.
In addition to the
In addition to the positional diversity, I like the racial diversity. It's a refreshing change from that racist John Beilein, who, if you'll recall, hated white people in 2007-08 (captain: Ron Coleman) and 2008-09 (captains: Merritt & Lee), hated all people in 2009-10 (Harris, Sims, and Novak), and hated black people in 2010-11 and 2011-12 (Novak & Douglass). I haven't heard anything for 2012-13, but something tells me that he hates white people again. Stupid racist.
[Note: This is a reference to some particularly dumb comments from some particularly dumb people who saw two white captains on the 2011-12 poster.]
Wasn't that an actual article
Wasn't that an actual article too? I remember reading that on AA.com, but maybe I'm just imagining things
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?

that level of ignorance is truly frightening.
As for the Team 133 captains, I could not be more proud of these two fine young men.
Go Blue!
look to the cookie
Could not be happier
Every captain earns the honor, but these two young men have been particularly special. The last time we had a quarterback captain ... Tom Brady? He beat 'Bama! The last time we had a safety ... Crowin Brown, maybe? I am sure someone out there can give the history lesson.
One week !!!!!
Go Blue!!!!
Hail!
If Wikipedia's telling the
If Wikipedia's telling the truth, then Navarre was a captain in 2003. No Chad Henne in 2007, though (Crable, Hart, and Long).
Last at those positions:
Safety- Marlin Jackson 2004
Quarterback- John Navarre 2003
Edit: Jackson was back playing corner by 2004, he played safety for his junior year, not his senior year. I'll see if I can find the last bona fide safety captain.

Tripp?
Tripp Welborne was a safety captain.
Nope
Welborne was not a captain, just a team MVP. I go with Corwin Brown.
To finish up that last edit,
To finish up that last edit, James Whitley was another hybrid DB who captained the 2000 team, and Corwin Brown was the last before that in 1992. Wow, there is definitely a history of issues off the field there.
Also, Bentley doesn't list Tripp Welborne as a captain. The two they list for 1990 are Jarrod Bunch and John Milligan.

Everyone is missing the
Everyone is missing the horrible and most important point here... We now have an entire one to 12 weeks of reporters asking Jordan if he ever thought he'd become a Michigan captain when he walked on 4 years ago. Kill me now.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.
