Weird?

It would instantantly amp up a rivalarly that is already set to explode.  I think the only weird possibility is that we may start wondering which red team we hate more, or hates us more at least.  I'd like to keep my red hatred pure, but it can't help but make the competitive juices flow even stronger and that is what we all gravitate too, right?  So, not the worst idea.

I feel right now like JH represents more than our salvation, but fundamentally carries the torch of the Michigan Man. My enthusiasm for him may be enhanced because I was a 13-15 year old kid during his playing years, but those were damn fine years.  Arguably Bo's finest.  It was mostly domination excepting the #1 vs. #2 loss to Iowa and some irritation with Illinois and Minnesota. We beat the buckeyes and lost the Rose Bowl.  I remember toilet paper and being taught an unequivocal yet somehow acceptable hatred for OSU.  For my heart, it was traditional Michigan football.

JH was the hero, the leader.  The local.  The dude went to Tappan, never mind Pioneer!  Both on Stadium Blvd!  He is Ann Arbor.  He is Michigan.  Obviously he hasn't had a lovefest with the program in his adult years, but he, as much as anybody, has a potentially innate and deep connection to our tradition and city that surely still burns somewhere down there.  For me, he holds continuity in his hands.  The Michigan Man meme will not break should he pass on this fairytale opportunity, but my goodness is this ever a chance for it to be strengthened.

Come on JH...we need your miracle!  Remember reviving us from the '84 season?  Do it again!

COME ON PLEEEEASSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

If not, whatever.  Damn.  GO BLUE always!

Did I freakin' just double post right out of the gate?  Damn.  Whatever.
