Listening to John U. Bacon on the Michigan Insider, I expect him to be 8,000 years old. Always funny to see him as someone my age. (though he's slightly older and looks younger.)

Was Porky Pig the runner-up?

...well I'll be goddamned...

Gordon - can't you embed a link?
August 28th, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Posted from my phone, odd that it didn't embed with a link.

I was hoping for Murderwolf.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:45 AM ^
John U Bacon is Murderwolf's secret identity. I thought he'd already been outed on this site!?!

This is so much more amazing than I expected it to be. Thanks for sharing.

When it is raining, it is because he is thinking of something sad.
His shirts never wrinkle.
If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.
The police often question him just because they find him interesting.
His blood smells like cologne.
On every continent in the world, there is a sandwich named after him.
Cuba imports cigars from him.
Mosquitos refuse to bite him purely out of respect.
In museums, he is allowed to touch the art.
His business card simply says “I’ll call you.”
He has won the lifetime achievement award, twice.
If he were to punch you in the face, you would have to fight off the urge to thank him.
He bowls overhand.
He is the most interesting man in the world.....

I miss Jonathan Goldsmith as "The Most Interesting Man in the World". Stay thirsty, MGoBloggers!

The weight of his words would break a lesser man's jaw

Smokin Jay, Marty and Bacon, this is a pretty "Chicago-based Michigan alum" heavy faculty.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:44 AM ^
That is....phenomenal.
August 28th, 2019 at 10:05 AM ^
I thought MeanJoe07 would get the job. I guess I can ease up on trying to run him down with my car.

Apologies in advance if I sound like an MGoCurmudgeon, but maybe I really am one.
But... I heard that, in his classes, John Bacon has students surrender their smartphones at his desk when they come in and pick them back up after class. This isn't a criticism of him, but I gotta ask... why is that noteworthy? As in, how isn't that standard practice for both college and secondary school?!? I mean, I'm as guilty of phone over-use as everyone else, which only further begs the question.

Perfect Choice!
August 28th, 2019 at 10:31 AM ^
I definitely would have lost a bet on "Will John U. Bacon be featured in a Dos Equis commercial?"
August 28th, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
The OP has buried the lead a bit here ... the real gem of this is here:

Short videos of John U Bacon teaching lessons on college football (NOT the most interesting man in the world)
These videos all went live today so hopefully the Friday WTKA segment with JUB will touch on it

The video is hilarious... JUB explains the Rose Bowl featured a team from the Midwest and the state of Michigan is only highlighted! Ha ha ha.
August 28th, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
That's great! Thanks for posting, Gordon.
August 28th, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
I didn't recognize Jay Cutler in his picture. Like, at all.. He wasn't smoking, he was smiling o.O
August 28th, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
10 lessons? Where are the Cliff Notes?
