There are...
...days until Jon Giesler (OT 1975-1978) enjoys Michigan's first game of its 144th season, as it opens against ECU on the afternoon of the first Saturday in September at the Big House.

Why not bless all of you with a complete game tape of Ufer's call for #68's last win as a Wolverine 45 seasons ago? Let's do it...
BIG thanks to Pizza Pizzichetti for posting this holy grail. Enjoy!
classic ufer: good morning everybody, bob ufer here in the 'chilly snakepit' in columbus ohio.
I watched this game, and it was pretty awesome, thank you. Look at 1:02:29. As I was watching, I saw this guy on the sideline.. I think it's John Harbaugh at 16 years old. Voted Most Athletic at Pioneer.

Too bad Gibby had to play well and beat us. We should have been undefeated going into this game.
Gibby from the BHS? Wouldn't be surprised if that is harbaugh based on the leather evidence. Or it could be Snake from simpsons...
The timepiece featured on today's "There are..." was given to the Michigan Football players who traveled to the 2001 Citrus Bowl, manufactured by Timely Watch...
Timely Watch is untimely and unwatched. C- because the oranges and lemons on the same tree were beyond your control.
Just two words . . .
SHOULDER PADS.
This offseason is racing by! B1G media days start in 36 days! HAIL!

Summer is going too fast......

Wow, the OL was thin back in the 70s. Many were only areound 250 lbs. Now it is rare that you have OL who are under 300 lbs.
When I was young 250 was big for a lineman. Right around this time.
A guy from my home town, started at center for Michigan, Jim Czirr. He was a 241 pound center. somewhere around '71 ish
