There are...
...days until Erick Anderson (LB 1988-1991) sees Michigan's defense step up to the challenge for the 2019 football season, starting on August 31st against Middle Tennessee State Under The Lights at Michigan Stadium!

Go Blue.
Another #37 is Jarrett Irons, and here is a game from his (and many others') iconic season in 1997.
It's against Michigan State. Blue know it.
Thanks WH and enjoy as always!
This was a year after Jarrett Irons graduated.
I had to check first to make sure my memory wasn’t faulty, but c’mon—Jarrett Irons graduated after the ‘96 season.
Dang I messed that one up. Apologies. Enjoy the game regardless!
There's something special about an empty football field in July. It takes a squint to look, the baking sun shining off the steel bleachers right in the eyes. Behind the glare the light ripples through the heat rising from the field.
It's empty. It's bright. It's hot. But off behind the sideline, a sign of the moment:
A blocking sled, ready for action.
Football is coming.
I've always loved these. Thanks for doing them.
Keep the "football is coming"s coming!
And all-time great names for defensive players.
I can remember saying " and another tackle by Sam Sword, the senior from Saginaw" to my friends in section 19 @ the Big House. Great memories ?
Steele and Gold are also on that all-time great defense, for our metallurgy fans out there. A very young Brady Hoke can also be seen at 7:25 of the 2nd video.
But...but...but... he's WEARING HEADPHONES!?!?!
Tick tock
July has nearly ended and we're all still here, I think. There haven't been too many egregiously OT threads even for OT Season standards, as low as those are, of course.
Fake FG... painful 6pts
The summer is flying by! They’ll board the submarine next Friday!!
