Congrats to Mr. Lewan! I bet
Congrats to Mr. Lewan! I bet there is a very short list of Michigan two-time first-teamers. I think he should go for it, though my hope is rapdly dwindling.
Willie Heston, Albert
Willie Heston, Albert Benbrook, Benny Friedman, Chuck Bernard, Ted Petoskey, Tom Harmon, Alvin Wistert, Robert Wahl, Ron Kramer, Bill Yearby, Dave Brown, Mark Donahue, Jumbo Elliott, Mark Messner, Tripp Welborne, Greg Skrepenak, Charles Woodson, Steve Hutchinson, Marlin Jackson, and Jake Long.
Bennie Oosterbaan and Anthony Carter were 3 timers.

Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.
Wow, you couldn't blame
Wow, you couldn't blame anyone for leaving after an all american year but that is an incredible list.
Edit: Much more importantly, congrats to Mr. Lewan on a truely tremendous accomplishment.

Some trivia from the U-M Football All-Americans by Jersey Number page at mgoblue.com: Lewan is the fifth player wearing #77 to earn 1st-team All-American honors, following Arthur Walker, Paul Seymour, Jon Jansen, and Jake Long.
I wonder if anyone can answer this trivia question without going to that page: For which other two numbers have there been five Michigan All-Americans?

I'm going to guess #1 and #7.
I'm going to guess #1 and #7. 1 is obviously a layup guess.

1 for 2
#1 is correct, and I suppose obvious, although I had never heard of the first player on the list.
There's only been one #7, though, surprisingly enough.

The other one I never would
The other one I never would have gotten without looking.
If Schofield can be an AA next year, 75 would join the list.
The other one is definitely
The other one is definitely tougher. A hint would be that it's also in the 70s.

Well
I'm guessing it was the number Hutch wore. I'm not sure what it was, but 73 or 76 is my guess.

Good guess. But there were
Good guess. But there were only two for #76--Hutch and Stefan Humphries. and just one for #73--Bill Dufek.
Another hint: Jumbo.

way to go lewan!

"What" ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
Was he playing injured
Was he playing injured against OSU? If not then that 18 year old DE for the Buckeyes should be All American as well. No excuse for playing bad in that game. I'm still hotter than fish grease after that fucking loss.
I was gonna say the same
I was gonna say the same thing.. he was basically responsible for Gardner's first fumble as he was beaten badly in the biggest game of the year..
Seriously? You think one of
Seriously? You think one of the few times Lewan got beat the entire year is the reason we lost that game. Give me a break. He plays one of the most difficult positions in football better than most everyone else.
Of course not, but I would
Of course not, but I would agree that it is a microcosm of how the game turned out. O-line a weakness all year, but our lone bright spot got Doug Free'd (Cowboy humor) by an upstart freshman DE for ohio that could care less that 77 is a top ten draft pick when its Mich/Ohio.
Columbus bred, but home is where the heart is.
Well, Craig Roh (not a stand
Well, Craig Roh (not a stand out last year) did the same thing to Mike Adams.

According to a current walk ons parent.....
Taylor did not practice the last few weeks of the season and was in a boot when not playing games... It started because I was criticizing his play in November and the OSU game. He also whiffed on Shazier on that 4th down play where Denard got blown up. Apparently he was basically playing on one leg... Talk about tough.
Congrats to Lewan. That is a
Congrats to Lewan. That is a tremendous accomplishment. Go Blue!
That it is
Congrats Taylor. Thank you for your dedication to Blue. You have made us all proud of you.

Go Blue!
I can't wait to see how that
I can't wait to see how that matchup goes....hopefully well.
i thought as of the end of
i thought as of the end of last year we had 79 all-americans, after molk had been named one. i'm just going by the pregame videos before the games.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
Those are consensus
Those are consensus all-americans. Michigan has 78 of them including Molk. If Lewan is named 1st team all-american by 3 of the 5 orginaztions he will become Michigan's 79th consensus all-american.

Congratulations to Taylor
MGoBlue had a little write-up as well (LINK)
Congratulations to Taylor for this honor, as well as being a Rimington Award winner and an all-Big Ten first team choice as well. A great year for him indeed.

Not sure what you mean here; the Rimington is given to a center. I'm pretty sure that manbearfreak from Alabama won it this year.

I think he means the B1G's Pace-Rimington OL of the Year Award which Lewan received. Only guys to ever win the award are Michigan guys (Molk & Lewan).

In the MGoSpirit of renaming any and all trophies, I propose we call it the Backus-Hutchinson-Long-Jansen-Dierdorf-Molk Trophy from now on.

Question
If we have 127 all-americans why do we only recognize 78?
edit: Wolverine Devotee answered it
"Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off"
Answered above but those are
Answered above but those are consensus all-americans. Which means they fit the NCAA's definition of consensus all-americans.
Michigan has 127 first team all-americans, 78 consensus all-americans (3/5 organizations must select) and 20 unanimous all-americans (Every selector recognizes as a first team all-american).

Thank you for the history
Thank you for the history lesson, I did not know there was more than 1 organization that voted but wow is that a stupid setup, why cant there just be 1 group of guys ala Heisman that says "you the best" and thats it.
Blue is Faster
Shh, don't tell him that. That's pretty freakin' awesome though.
This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous.
