There are...
...days until Garvie Craw (FB 1967-1969) sees Michigan work to score those key points they need in 2019, starting on August 31st.

Go Blue!
Of course, a certain former Michigan player (and President of The United States) happened to have worn this number:
Classic Ufer too. One of a kind.
Great memories of listening to Mr. Ufer's broadcasts on the radio each and every Saturday afternoon. One of the reasons I became a diehard Meeechigan Fan.
GO BLUE!!!!
It is also President Ford’s birthday today.
May Ben Mason follow in the footsteps of Garvie Craw 50 years later.
There are 48 days until I need 2 pairs of underwear for that day
You have a man-crush on #16 John Navarre?
For me it will be 46 days! I love his red wine. I wish he would do one of his wine dinners close to where I live. I've been emailing him to do an event in Kansas City!
doesn't list craw's size, but he looks pretty big too for a guy playing 50 yrs ago.
funny seeing jack tatum in the foreground of the photo. most know he was an exceptional player and had a very good pro career as a top safety in the NFL. one of our guys played with him in oakland before coming to our team and had some pretty funny stories about tatum and his approach to practice - like sitting in the end zone and smoking cigarettes for a while, then playing a few plays, then going back to smoking.
Makes sense. Trashy buck nut.
Really? I guess that kind of explains dying from a heart attack at 61.
Iverson and, evidently, Tatum were correct...about the (limited) value of practice for those who have the talent and understand how to play the game. Play well, play smart, compete hard, have fun...it's just a game.
I’d like to see video of that collision...from that angle.
6'2" 230. They ran Garvie to the edge from time to time. They pulled a guard to lead him. That guard was Reggie McKenzie. How would you like to be the defender taking those two guys coming at you ?
Garvie Craw.....now THERE'S an old school fullback name. Seriously.
Cool story, bro - when I was a wee lad and we lived in Northville, our neighbor had a few pictures of Craw on the wall, among several other players from those late 60s teams, in the basement.
Hard to believe that Big Ten media conference is this week
We are getting closer.
Garvie Craw was a beast.
Love the old Riddell turf shoes in that black and white photo.
Shout-out Desmond Morgan . One of my favorite players. Gave my 2nd son his middle name after him.
I'm champing at the bit. I was so bored yesterday I watched the Cornhole championship on TV.
I like playing corn hole but I can understand watching it during the summer doldrums. Especially when the Tigers suck!

Jack Weisenburger - FB in 1947 with the mad magicians was also a great payer wearing #48. RIP Jack who passed away this past March 26.
