watching the Breaston highlights.  Had Denard been a receiver, how much alike this footage would be to his.  Slap a 16 over the 15 on these clips and it could almost pass for his highlights.

From Breaston to Robinson to ???  Who will emerge as the next "Lightning in a Bottle" in the Maize and Blue?

Also, great memories of Manningham.  What a talent.

That pic is from 06.

That team deserved a shot at a BCS title.

That will be something I take with me to my grave, my bitterness about getting screwed.

I know it sounds like sour grapes to Buckeye honks, but we should have won that game and would have if it were not for Crable's hit to the head on Troy Smith. We forced them into a 4th and long on that play, which would have been a punt, and I know M would have scored to take the lead. The way the defenses were playing that day, no team was stopped from scoring almost all game.

The 2006 and 2007 (more so than 2006 IMO, but what a disaster of season 2007 was) teams were built and talented enough to win titles, but alas, it didn't happen. Oh well. Brady has this team and recruiting where it needs to be and I feel we will win a title with him.

It will be here before you know it. For me at least, once it gets under 100 days, it seems to come quickly and then just like that, it's gone again. I hate how for football, it seems the longet to arrive but also flies by so quickly. It's the worst.

Let us also not forget, of course, that Michigan had two All-Americans that wore 86 - John Anderson and Robert Westfall. I believe Anderson went on to be drafted in the first round by Green Bay in 1978 and had a rather productive, decade-long career with them. Westfall played for the Lions at some point, if I remember correctly.
