A question about team photos 91-96

Submitted by B1G_Fan on

For team photos are the entire team pictured? Do they include guys buried on the depth chart and walk ons? I met a guy claiming to be a Wolverine wide receiver. He was 42 years old so he would most likely be on one of these rosters 91-96. I don't see his name listed at all on the roster posted on Bentley historical library.

It was cool.  Sammies pulled the fire alarms at Markley every hour on the hour the night before the game to make sure we didn't get any sleep.   Those guys were great.  One of them even took a dump in our stairwell to make sure we knew who we were dealing with that day.

The entire team is in the photos as well as the historical roster.  The guy was most likely full of shit if you can't find him.

I've caught someone like this before. There is a slim possibility that a walk on could join midseason, quit and be unlisted, but if ANYONE claims they got into games or lettered, there would be record of it.

Yes and no. Bentley's roster database has known flaws. Every guy listed on the Gridiron Guide rosters published before the season prior to the online age makes up most of the roster database from the inceptions of the Gridiron Guide to the online age. If your friend lettered, he would be on there because every letter winner is listed via the Dope Books.

With the coach. Then he blew his knee out, as he points to the knee he blew out. I think we are talking about the recruit from the Niagra Falls area, most to all of you don't know him.

 No he isn't claiming to have inside info or anything and at the time they didn't even know I was a Michigan fan. They knew I was originally from Ohio and his wife asked me if I was a buckeye fan. I threw up a little in my mouth and told her I was a Michigan Wolverines fan, she then said oh my husaband played for they as a wide receiver for the Wolverines but was too slow for the NFL.

Maybe he was sick - each and every picture day. Maybe he was full of shit. Maybe he was referring to intramurals. Who knows and more to the point, who gives a rat's ass?

The photos, at least during those times, showed the WHOLE team.  Everyone including walk-ons.  Seniors in the front row on back to true frosh.  

I can pretty much remember ALL of the members of those teams.  If you don't want to call him out, just give me some initials.
