The real story of the upcoming Superbowl

Submitted by Swayze Howell Sheen on

The real story for the upcoming "SuperBro" (or "Harbowl") is actually not Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh, but rather Flacco vs. Harbaugh. This is Flacco in college:

This is Jim Harbaugh during his early glory days:

SEE THE HELMETS????!!!!

From the most unlikely imaginable source -- "SpartanJerseys.com" -- comes the most exhaustive analysis I have ever seen.

Turns out that Michigan State College (later MSU) and the Ohio State University both briefly wore "winged" design leather helmets before Crisler came to Michigan, and there is conclusive photo evidence that many schools wore the design, including three-stripe versions, in the early thirties before Crisler at Princeton.

The whole story of Crisler's personal involvement in the helmet design is mostly manufactured as far as I am aware.

And yet this still wore it before we did.  We may have made it iconic by being successful, but we did not come up with anything, princeton wore it first and its better to just accept that and that is associated with us because we win a lot more.

Harbaugh looks better.  Delaware's version looks like a genericized version of the uniform you'd see in those early-90's video games that couldn't get the official rights to the schools' colors and uniforms.

As if it didn't have enough patches, that #11 jersey needs one more patch; the Wistert brothers Legends patch.  (Perhaps sensitive to the scolding over patch-filled jerseys coming from places like MGoBlog, the Michigan athletic department substituted bowl patches with "Legends" patches on those jerseys.  Watching the game, I wondered if Michigan may have been violating a contract with the bowl by not including bowl-promotion patches on every player's jersey.)

Here's a representative photo.  Roh (88) Bolden (35) and Campbell (73) with the standard Outback Bowl patches and Desmond Morgan (G.R. Ford Legends patch) #48:

So, by you and the previous posters standards it is more alien to forgive than to hold someone accountable for the rest of their lives.  No one's perfect, but from what I know everyone who has been around Ray raves about him as a person.  It's not my place to say what happened when those two people were murdered, but I know that I am sick and tired of people who don't know what happen decide to judge Lewis.  I don't think he is a saint or that any athlete should be idolized, but just have a balanced perspective other than:  EVIL!  PERFECT!

In all likelihood Ray is a good guy who has done some bad things.

This isn't a dui or pot charge. Im sorry I don't buy the he only knew who did it story. He was convicted of obstruction of justice in a murder case. That means he had active involvement in covering up the crime at least. I highly doubt if it was your stockbroker, banker or anybody else in your life you would be saying well he was involved in a murder a few years ago but he is a great guy.

Obstruction of justice is not murder. And if it were my stockbrocker or any other person in my life I wouldnt even know about it. I sure if he were a family member u wouldnt call him a murder for bein convicted of obstruction or if it were u you wouldnt want to be called a murderer if u didnt kill someone.
