Let's give Mr. Sword's last game in his Wolverine career a look, as his 1998 Back-to-Back Big Ten Championship team beat Arkansas in the Citrus Bowl...
Thanks WH, and, as always, enjoy!

New WBB recruit Syla Swords strongly approves.
Today's watch was given to the Michigan players who made the trip to the 1977 Rose Bowl, and was manufactured by Caravelle:

WJ had a knee cleanup, which is why they are trying to get the UMass kid to commit this weekend. Coaches probably keep him out until week 4.
June might see 4-5 more commits, kids are being told "we are running out of space"
B-Rob might commit this weekend as well.
Jay getting his guy, CP getting his guy, and if Cink gets his we really may finish with top class
1279
cheers
Assuming Chiles is CP's guy, Scott is Clink's...who is Jay's guy? Maynard? Patterson?
Still trying to figure out why Clink is Cink, and has been in multiple posts by GoJ.
Again, a couple headlines worth mentioning from yesterday here:
- The 2023 Michigan Football Season Tees have dropped, the 20th edition of the series:
- Five Game Times and Networks were announced as well: 9/2 vs. ECU at noon on Peacock(!), 9/9 vs. UNLV at 3:30 on CBS(!), 9/16 vs. BGSU at 7:30(!) on BTN, 9/23 vs. Rutgers at noon, and 11/11 @PSU at noon on FOX.
His '97 team had some great names on defense, Swett, Steel, and Sword. Not to mention the best player to ever suit up on that side of the ball for the Wolverines.
And Jarrett Irons played with that group in ‘96!
One of the great football names of all time.
Useless information for the day:
The total weight of all 116 of the listed players on the 1997 roster (on mgoblue.com) was 26012 pounds.
- An average of just 224.2 lbs per player.
- Heaviest listed weight: 299 (FR OL Todd Mossa and RS-Jr OT Jon Jansen)
- Lightest listed weight: 160 (RS Soph kicker Brandon Kornblue)
- Median weight: 215 lbs
- Players listed under 200 lbs: 43
- Players listed over 250 lbs: 31
Didn't Sword have a key 4th down stop against Notre Dame?
I don't have an answer to your question but I just wanted to say I sure do miss playing Notre Dame.
