Who am I? Not OT #3

Another slow week.  No recruit commits.  Wait.  What. No. Really.  Football AND Basketball?  Oh, transfers, but they count too, right?  JH(s) CAN recruit.

Back by popular demand, (well, honestly there was only 1 person, and he's family) So, everyone did very good on the Great Bob Ufer.

 Came to Michigan in 1939.  Played football during his freshman season.  Directed his efforts to Track & Field, a sport that better CateRed to his size and speed.  Broke eight, (That’s 8) Michigan varsity records.  Achieved All American status and set the World Record in the 440-yard dash, a mark that would stand for five (That’s 5) years. 

1945 Bob entered the radio booth.  For the next four (That’s 4) decades Michigan fans heard the voice that would inform, enlighten, and entertain them. 

“We’re down in the snake pit at ohio state and our Maize’ n Blue dobbers are high right now cuz we’re getting ready to do battle with Dr. StrangeHayes and his scarlet and gray legions”.   45 - 23

Elephants and Ufer never forget.

God bless your cotton picken maize and blue heart, Bob.

On a side note: I propose a change to the Michigan Stadium's name.  Now, before you get your panties in a bunch, here me out.  It's only for the Thanksgiving Saturday.  It's only for every other odd year.  It's only for 3 hours on that given Saturday.  (Better make that 4 hours, commercials).  The name would be temporarily changed to: "The Nutkracker House".  Do I have a second?

Here is your high school stats on today's WAINOT: (No more easy lollipop, slow pitch softball right down the middle of the plate questions).  This one should be hard.  (If you are from this athletes home town, and were aware of his playing days, don't spoil it for others).
