I don't think that the re-creation thing is such a great idea. They are in the 40s now. I am the same age as Elvis and Desmond and it never goes very well when I try to recreate something I did in college. Besides, Desmond dressed too well to go diving into the endzone. / yes I know they were elite athletes and I never was, but still |

I hope he knows how many of us loved his work. Mr. Lipson, thank you very much for all those Sunday mornings of re-watching Meeeechigan victories. (Sorry, I didn't really watch if we lost. Hurt too much). |

This is excaly what this blog needs during the loooong summer months. This and Hello posts. Excellent. My best buddy and I still refer to the Iowa fake punt in the '91 game as "The Moment that Hayden Fry Went Insane." Whenever someone does something that is so foolish it simply cannot be rationalized, he or she "pulls a Hayden Fry." Yep, life lived through 20 year old Michigan Football references. |

I saw that movie about 2012. All the rich investors are going to get onto the Space X ships when the world ends this year and we'll all be drowned by huge waves or fried by volcanoes! Except, for some reason, the space craft will just turn out to be really big boats that will land in Africa which, it turns out, doesn't get flooded. At least Wood Harrelson will get rocked (literally)! |

After having read Brian's latest Special K post, this is what I needed to know. I would actually trade summer in Michigan in order to be able to have football, and this blog, back in season. /not really, well, kinda |

Hutchinson's take sums it up best: The guy had no connection to Michigan at all. He could have easily pased on going to the event. The fact that he even showed up and gave that prize to the auction was above the call of duty. Then he bids up the auction, scracthes out a 15K check and gives the prize to the family? That is incredible. |

| 4 days 22 hours ago | I don't think 21 was special |
I don't think 21 was "special" when it was given to Desmond. He made it special. Just like 2 wasn't very special until Woodson won the Heisman in it. |

The Bowls, complete with trips and goodie bags and parades and dudes in yellow blazers, would still exist for teams ranked 5 through how ever many make bowl games these days. You would only miss a bowl if you finished the year ranked 1, 2, 3, or 4. In the last 16 years, Michigan has had that happen twice. Both the 1997 and 2006 teams would have gotten three years worth of trips to see Mickey Mouse and get a bag free stuff from Beef O'Grady's, Inc. For those whose carreers included 1997, they would have gotten to host a National Semi-Final against FSU while watching Nebraska do the same thing with Tennessee. (Those southern bastards would have frozen their damn nuts off that year!) Then, Michigan and Nebraska would have met in Arizona, or Texas, or Cali and settled the damn thing. For those whose time in Ann Arbor included 2006, they would have still gotten a trip to Flordia while LSU went to C-bus. Yes, there would have been no bag from the Polen Weed Eater Company, but going into the Swamp for a semi-final with the goal of redemption would probably have made up for it. I am totally not buying Brandon's "But think of the Childern" line on this. Edit - Sorry, Wahoo, I forgot the disclaimer. This probably shouldn't be directed to you, but I just think Brandon's line on this is really weak sauce. |

From now on, whenever this home game issue comes up, I will recall Urban's quote and just be unable to speak or think clearly. I mean, WTF Urbz???? That's the reason you want the game up North. And why would you make that statement now? You're in flippin' OHIO, buddy? Unless, he too is pissed at Delaney for blowing what he, more than anyone else, knows could be a huge advantage. Maybe, just maybe, this is his way of mocking Delaney and the Big Ten. If so, I actually . . . . well . . . think that . . . it is . . . pretty clever of him and I . . . well . . . I agree with him and appreciate him for saying it. Now I feel dirty and am back to not being able to speak or think clearly. Excuse while I bang my head against this wall. |
