The return of the ghost from Michigan's past
JUSTIN TURNER = CHARLES WOODSON

It is from January. I found it funny when it mentioned Turner always thinks about Woodsons 1 handed grap vs MSU. He did the same thing in the army all-american game.
Oh Em Gee, the EXACT same thing! Let's just change his name to Charles Woodson II!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding. If he's half as good as Woodson, that means we'll have a great player on one side of the ball. I'd be cool with that. Not to start off the day with a cliché, but let Justin Turner be Justin Turner.
I know your excited. I am excited about this kid. But there are no defensive backs > or = Charles Woodson.
you're.
I'M SORRY. I'M A DOUCHE
Justin Turner is not going to be Charles Woodson. He's going to be BETTER than Charles Woodson. THE FIRST DEFENSIVE PLAYER TO WIN 2 HEISMEN!!!
John Heisman was a person, and the trophy was named after him. So is it correct to say 'two heismen' or would it be 'two Heisman's'?
Heismans. No apostrophe. Or Heisman Trophies is even easier.
Gold star for you today papabear.
You can't miss the bear.
Henry Ford was a person, and a car company was named after him, but if you were to speak of two cars produced by this company, you'd call them "two Fords." The rules of grammar don't change for nouns named for people.
Justin Turner will be the Tim Tebow of defensive backa!
We will know for sure when Turner nearly picks off the first 2 passes thrown in his direction or if he returns a punt for a TD against Ohio State.
While I am at it, I think Tate will be guided by the ghost of B. J. Dickey.
The great line at heard at Michigan Stadium when BJ was Qb. What came first the BJ or the Dickey, still makes me chuckle.
The starter at the beginning of the 1979 season was Dickey, who was an option QB in the mold of Ricky Leach. Dickey was a decent runner, but he wasn't particularly effective at throwing the ball. That might not have been a big deal on other Schembechler teams, but Anthony Carter was a freshman and it was blindingly obvious to all of us in the stands that you had to get the ball to Carter, and Dickey just didn't seem to get it done often enough. Bo started putting John Wangler in the games early on for a few series here and there, and it seemed like Wangler and Carter just clicked right from the beginning. Most of us in the crowd were saying, OK, let's just keep Wangler in there, dammit. Bo, being fairly stubborn, kept giving most of the snaps to Dickey, and as the season progressed we were getting sort of frustrated. At some point, somebody started a chant:
"Take out the Dick! Put in the Wang!"
If Tate isn't better at throwing the ball than Dickey was, we're in trouble. He's probably about the same size as BJ, who is listed in the football database as being 6-0 and 188. That probably means he was really about 5-11.
Your joke is better. The only game I missed that season was Indiana. Listening to the game on the radio I was glad I did not attend until the last play of the game, I've regretted it ever since.
!?$*%&$# Hoosiers. Couldn't they have just laid down like they usually did so we could have saved that play for Ohio State? They were in the game at the end that year despite being outplayed pretty bady.
But I know you will never forget Ufer's reaction to the final play. It defined "Michigan Fanatic."
