Go Blue.
From #51's senior-captaining season, here's film of the Wolverines hosting (and defeating) the Indiana Hoosiers...
Thanks College Football Historian! As always, enjoy.
With the Bowl Participation Watch series behind us, we now move to the next category of postseason jewelry in the program collection! Prior to the issuing of rings beginning in 1964, the University of Michigan Athletic Department issued charms to the players for winning conference championships.
Let's get started with this example below, awarded to Bert "Scrub" Ripley for the 1898 Western Conference Championship! Yep, the first one. Yep, the one that inspired The Victors:
damn Great Post and addition to the series. priceless and timeless. classy and distinctive delectable collectible with a superior design for that time period. Hail to Champions of the West. Is this actual size? Hollow or solid metal? Bronze? Just wondering.

Rumors of sherrond Moore as a candidate for nw. C'mon man. You'll get a way better job soon. Don't leave now.
Ed Orgeron is apparently interested, let him have it:
Of all the people to bring in after a scandal, ol' Ed would be my first choice. Plus he'd be a great fit at NU.
What a joke - i saw that too. That guy is such an SEC scumbag - NU hiring him would be an embarrassment for a school of that caliber
I do see Ed enjoying himself repeatedly at various Chicago pizzarias. I recommend Lou’s.
Honestly, my only question after the whole NU fiasco is how long does it take Ryan Day to hire Pat Fitzgerald as the new defensive coordinator?
Only if he brings the cultural elements from NU that fit so well with the Urban/Day culture.
If you click on the OP’s link, you’ll note that a letter winner at left end on that 1960 team was Bill Freehan, an 11-time All-Star catcher with the Tigers.
