There are...

...days until Braylon Edwards (the knucklehead he became who cannot keep his mouth shut, though he is still my favorite Michigan player) sees the force that a Harbaugh-led Michigan team has become in year two.

I feel the same way about Braylon, I still don't understand how he only had one great NFL season, he was so talented. Also, knucklehead is a pretty good way to describe him.

Wasn't he on the Browns? I just checked, and aside from his own issues (drops), he had Derek Anderson, Charlie Frye, Richard Bartel, Bruce Gradkowski, Ken Dorsey, Brady Quinn, Erik Ainge, Mark Brunell, Mark Sanchez, 2011 Colin Kaepernick, Alex Smith, Russell Wilson, and Greg McElroy throwing him passes. I see maybe 2 above average QBs there. Ouch.

I actually tried saying what's up to Braylon at Club Annex in Detroit a few months back when I went out there for my birthday and he completely blew me off. Go Blue, though!

Took my UM #1 jersey to a Colts game when he played for the Jets.  Colts won so he was obviously pissed off and not interacting with fans, but when he saw the jersey, he immediately stopped and had me toss it to him for a signature.  Thought that was pretty cool of him after just losing a game.

Image result for family guy sock puppet star wars

but seeing that GIf reminded me how stupid the "new and improved" original 3 were. They just randomly jammed some completely useless CGI crap hither and yon. Oh! And he added an orange sash to the shoulder of that one Storm Trooper! Heady stuff, man. I loved Family Guy's sock puppet addition.

Braylon was sitting 2 rows behind us and I was able to get a picture of him.  Then I found out that his dad (Stanley) tailgates in our lot.  Well, sure as sheeeit, his dad walks by after the game.  I asked him why Braylon wasn't tailgating with him today.  Apparently, he didn't even know Braylon was at the game. He asked me to text him the picture.  2 weeks later I saw Stanleyagain and asked him if he mentioned it to Braylon.  He then showed me the text chain .... "I know you were at the game" ... Braylon's text back "where did you get that?" .... Stanley's response " I have eyes everywhere" 

It was very cool!!!

A different #1 every week??? Is that not a fabricated practice? Seems contradictory of "tradition", no? This was happening with us a few years ago and the Yankees. ND is getting too caught up in their tradition, so caught up, in fact, that they can't seem to identify what that is...

Besides Braylon, the most well-known recent player to rock the 80 jersey was easily Alan Branch, he of Morelli-flattening fame and one of the best pictures of Michigan football ever. After Branch, a series of TEs has worn 80, culminating with our beloved Khalid Hill. It hasn't been a WR number since...Chris Matsos, who took the number after Braylon.

Right when I was beginning to think you screwed up for not having this picture in the OP, you go and do something like this. You have totally redeemed yourself!

that Jabrill picked off a pass on the first play of the season and took it to the house. These next few months until the season starts are going to drag by...
