Of all the numbers we're looking forward to seeing on the field this year, the return of #8 certainly nears the top of the list. Here are some highlights from his career and the incredible catch that highlighted his far-too-brief participation in 2021...
Enjoy!

What a robbery. He just held his hand out there. I didn’t see a push off. I hope outlets play this on his highlight reel while he is preparing for the draft.

Now that we're truly getting into the finale of "There are..." 2022, it's time to spice things up a bit more as we always do.
Considering that the program has been experimenting with uniforms a bit more lately, I thought we could indulge into the MVictors uniform timeline! Considering the man behind the site, friend of MGoBlog Greg Dooley, will be the new professor for John U. Bacon's "History of College Athletics" class — it's the perfect point to celebrate his work in capturing Michigan history!
We begin with 1867-1939:

Spice it up a bit by changing the title to "There are... POSBANG" starting with #5.
Include various "5,4,3,2,1 TOUCHDOWN" videos from Ufer!
Thanks again for doing all these. Made the offseason fly by.
August 26th, 2022 at 11:38 AM ^
Wow, great addition to the "There are..." series.
As we now reach the doorstep of the final 7 days of the countdown, I want to again say Thank you! for your dedication in doing this countdown so very well.
Over the last few years, JWG Wolverine, you have truly raised the bar on this annual MGoBoard tradition. Bravo!
August 26th, 2022 at 3:21 AM ^
JWG, your consistent and reliable excellence on this countdown is a great source of joy for so many. Congrats, again, on another impressive summer of quality content. Dr. Jaws and friends ‘can’t wait’, so you gladly fill the void every day!
Thank you 🏈👍🏼

Absolutely!

Speaking of 8 ...here's a view from the last time I was in Section 8
Let's do this again. It was rather enjoyable,
August 26th, 2022 at 6:43 AM ^
glorious. and can you see me and one of the sons to your right in the end zone, about row 75 or so? yep, that's us!
August 26th, 2022 at 8:29 AM ^
Where did all the red go? I swear I saw plenty of red in the stands during the game.... Oh wait....
Guess they were cold and wanted to go home....
August 26th, 2022 at 9:54 AM ^
see the empty spots in the top corner? that was where they all got the sniffles and quit early, just like their team
August 26th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
Glad you posted since There are…1000 DAYS since he last had a good day against Michigan Football.
August 26th, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
That cold scene warms my 💜 heart!
August 26th, 2022 at 4:47 AM ^
8 it up!
August 26th, 2022 at 5:46 AM ^
Fact: Avant was playing in the NFL while Harbaugh was coaching UM.
I read the wiki and was wondering if those lined up. Avant was in the pros longer than I remembered. Dude was a good one.
August 26th, 2022 at 8:10 AM ^
Dude made a top-five catch that I've ever witnessed at Northwestern. Love me some Avant. His career at Michigan spanned some interesting teamates:
QB: Navarre to Henne
RB: Perry to Hart
WR: Braylon to Breaston to Manningham
August 26th, 2022 at 8:31 AM ^
His 1 handed stab in the corner of the end zone is one of the best catches I have ever been fortunate to witness.... long before Odell made it fashionable...
August 26th, 2022 at 8:51 AM ^
loved avant, but for some reason i always think of walter cross as #8, i think because his nickname was "eight ball."
August 26th, 2022 at 3:35 PM ^
Thanks JWG!!! It's always a joy to countdown the days before I head to my favorite place in the WWW. Bless you and your family and as always,
GO BLUE
