Thinking Coach Wheatley has too much class

Submitted by Wolfman on

I do know Spurrier recruited a qb to FL and the recruit said his visit consisted of watching Spurrier on tape for over two hours during his Heisman winning season.

Now, of course, I am only joking with this, but I think it would be fun if, say on a Friday, Coach Wheatley just handed a copy of the following to his RBs and said something like: "Now watch this No. 6 run the ball. He was pretty good. Try to duplicate everything you see and when you think you have it down, let me know.  "And if one of you actually do, you will be the starter for the entire year."

I am in the minority here. I am one of those old enough to have watched him in high school and at Michigan both. The blend of power and speed he had are just so damn rare it's easy, after not watching him for awhile to forget just how good he was.  Enjoy.

This is true but:

1. Never get less than 12 hours of sleep.

2. Never play cards with a guy that's got the same first name as the city.

3. Never go near a lady that's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

4. Never start a thread without thinking it through, while not overthinking it.

Stick with that and everything else is cream cheese.

What about just cutting together various Michigan players across many different years to make a video to show people wearing maize and blue jerseys winning every game ever.

Gosh that was fun.  What memories.  Someone that big shouldn't be that fast and that quick. So many bad angles by defenders.  He had everything--speed, balance, vision, power.

Or is it "Hear, hear!"?

Seriously, though, why the fuck all the hating on the OP? Yes, some of Wolfman's posts are a little longer than most, but skip them if you failed to take your meds today. This OP? Well done!

You're absolutely right, GoBlueInIowa, about the herd mentality of those who joined in on an unwarranted attack on Wolfman. Probably the one thing I find most distasteful on this blog.

it's odd who Michigan fans pick as the best back. I know some that think Hart is the best, but Wheatley is hands down to me the best RB and maybe offensive player I've seen at UM

Hart's ability to persevere through three or four tackles, fighting for every inch was special.

Wheatley didn't get the opportunity to break two often, because if the first didn't get him, there were no seconds in arm's reach. I cannot wait to see what super sized Jr. can do as his father was one of the GOATs to don the maize winged helmet.

Good memories. I still can't believe our RB have dropped that much since back then. I watched that video and can't wait until our O Line gets back to that level or even better. It's just a matter of time before the Next Nat Championship and next Heisman Trophy winner is lining up at Michigan.



Wheatley and Woodson are and will always be my 2 favorite wolverines ever

I would like your email and phone number, if possible. What I would like to say to you, and hope I am given the opportunity does not need to be shared by the board, but you need to hear it and you probably shouldn't hesitate.

Thanks,  Looking forward to your response.
