I'm wondering if because Denard, Kovacs and Roundtree are front and center, that means they'll be the captains.
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

That was my first thought too. Maybe Campbell because of the great work he put in the off season?
EDIT: Nevermind. He isn't as front and center as the others.

Kind of cool that the center point of the Block M stops at the football that Kovacs is holding. (Shakes head in sadness thinking that there's only one more season to see #32, flying in from all angles to make tackles).

This was on the Michigan Photo Store, right? You think it's possible that it was shot wide to accommodate an 8x12 or cropped down to an 8x10?

One possible explanation: To

One possible explanation: To permit Toussaint and Clark to participate in the photo.
I read somewhere on the interweb that Fitz and Frank were not permitted to wear any UM garb until recently. Presumably, that would have prevented them from appearing in the photo.
I seriously doubt that is really the explanation, but it is possible.

That was my first thought, but both of those guys were in uniform on Media/Youth Day on the 12th, so I don't think that's the reason. I'll keep listening for an explanation.

This is the first year (at
This is the first year (at least in a LONG while) that the team photo was done in sections 25/26. For the last decade or so, it's been shot in the north end zone, dead center behiond the goalposts. The head coach or captains have had to sit on concrete blocks and boards used to bridge the aisle. It never looked that good.
This year, it was moved to avoid the aisle issue. Seat cushions were already being placed in section 23/24, so the team shot was pushed down a few sections for a nice clean background. The Block-M is not such a bad thing to have in the shot.
The team was positioned on the west side (facing east) to avoid having them all stare into the sun.
Yes...I know a guy.

I know it may just be for display
I know it may just be for display
But love the fact Hoke puts the team in the center of the photo with the captains and seniors in front. Most teams would have the head coach sitting front and center, but Hoke sits on the left with the entire defensive staff, and the offensive staff sits on the right.
Second year in a row they have done it this way, and it fits the philosophy he preaches of putting the kids and the team first. It's also the way Bo used to do it as well. For comparison:
1969:
Bo's legendary first team
1971:
OMG those coaches shorts. Also, Dave Brandon (#24) in the back row third from the left.
1976:
I love how Bo used to sometimes put his hat on the ground in front of him like the players with their helmets when kneeling in front.
1985:
Of note, that is Cass Tech HC Thomas Wilcher (#27) sitting next to Bo, and freshman Allen Gant's father Tony sitting front row on the left (#14). Freshman Bo Dever's father Dave sitting in the sixth row 5 from the right (#57).
1988:
Curt Mallory #39 standing in the back row sixth from the right.
1989:
Bo's final season.

Great pics!
Great pics!
Thanks for posting! Answered my earlier question about whether or not they ususally sit up in the student section. It appears, that at least during the Bo era, that was NOT the case.

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of players a team can have on its roster? I know there are dressing rules and such for away games, but wasn't sure regarding just people listed on the team.
