Love it.

I also admire the student who had the strength to walk up to him and show him the bracelet.  I don't think I would have the guts to approach him. 

At the 2004 spring game (back in the days when fans were allowed to go on the field afterwards) a friend of mine who is on the alumni board, took my hand and said, "I'm going to introduce you to Lloyd," and my mouth dropped and I had a little trouble breathing.   We got to the tunnel and Lloyd had just left.  But I still remember the near heart attack feeling. 

I would imagine I'd still be like that if I were in the same restraunt as Harbaugh.  Too chicken to go come near him because I wouldn't be able to speak.

Both kinds have merits in business and in life. But hunters definitely score a lot more "touchdowns" and win way more glory and style-points that's for damn sure.

It was written by John U Bacon.  I consider that article close to propoganda -- which is good for us, I guess.  But it's not like an OSU alum or fanboy wrote that article.  You could even say JUB is putting out the good word so he can continue to remain a confidante of the program.  I'm not disagreeing with anything in the article, as a fan it's great to soak that stuff up -- but face it, that's hardly a neutral observer who wrote it.

Clearly, someone at WSJ is a UM alum, every so often UM football is in an article there.  Don't see that for OSU or Alabama.  Or, if not that -- WSJ knows its readership, who are successful business people and hence from UM and not OSU or Bama etc.

if "someone at WSJ is a UM alum . . ."

Sam Walker, is the top sports editor at the Journal and an alum.

That said, I can assure you if Walker and staff thought JUB's piece did not merit editorial review and approval, it never would have seen the light of day, regardless.

I believe Sam has authored several books too.
