There are...

...days until Chris Perry watches the 2016 Michigan Wolverines dominate the Rainbow Warriors.

Yeah yeah yeah...Jamie Morris this, Jamie Morris that. Well, I was born in 1981, which means I did not get a chance to see Jamie's playing football. I was not into American football until around 1991 when my dad showed it to me. Chris Perry is one of my all-time favorite Michigan players.

That said, Chris played under Lloyd Carr from 2000 to 2003. His senior year saw 1,674(!) yards and eighteen touchdowns. He criminally finished FOURTH in the Heisman voting that year. He earned All-American honors and the Doak Walker Award. He was also named the MVP of the Big Ten. Against MSU (pictured above), he set a Michigan record for carries (51) in a 27-20 win. Chris finished his career with 3,696 yards and thirty-nine touchdowns. He was then selected by the Bengals in 2004, but his NFL career did not last very long.

Here is a picture of Jamie to make people who prefer him feel better.

Only twenty-three days, folks. Twenty....three...

And just two weeks from tomorrow is the first game of the NCAA season.
