| 4 weeks 3 days ago | What's next, the HALO going back up? |
I think all of the benefits of this game would happen if we played a home-and-home series with Alabama. Call it THE start of the football season, just like in Dallas. ESPN would gush, Gameday would come, ticket prices could increase, AND we could hear the band. Two years in a row! The bloom is off Dave Brandon. What is he thinking?

| 24 weeks 5 days ago | Charlie Baggett - MooU |
Charlie Baggett, the coach at Tennessee, was a QB at MooU in the 70s. He was the prime reason that they went on probation then. I remember Charlie having to return a Buick Electra, and other things he received from using the credit card of a Spartoon booster. The photo of Charlie in the papers after he had to return the car was a joy to see. |
| 25 weeks 6 days ago | Where are Yost and Ufer? |
In relation to Bo's headstone. I went to the cemetery several years ago, saw Bo's grave. Noted that Millie's name is not on the headstone with him, but Cathy. Millie is buried very close by. Couldn't find either Yost or Ufer, though have been told they are in vicinity of Bo. Where are they? Today is anniversary of Biakabutuka running wild over the Buckeyes! |
| 28 weeks 1 day ago | Ahtletes as Heroes |
That was a great explanation of how most of the Penn State alum I know are feeling. This situation reminds me of "A Lifetime of Observations" by John Wooden, and what he said about athletes(coaches) as heroes. Athletes should be good role models, but not heroes. A role model is someone that those who love you would want you to be like. A hero is just someone the general public holds up to acclaim. They are often different people. Joe has moved from role model to hero. |
| 1 year 6 days ago | Why Ron Kramer? |
From mgoblue.com: Kramer's No. 87 never will be worn by another Wolverine as he was the epitome of the rugged defensive end and also made impossible catches as an offensive end. Kramer was a two-time All-American (1955, '56) and earned nine letters in three sports -- football, basketball and track. I won't make the case for other players here, only defending the case of Kramer. He is one of the greatest athletes ever at Michigan. One of the last 2-way players at Michigan. And a great one. One of the few 2-time All Americans from Michigan. |
| 1 year 6 days ago | Retire Numbers |
Earlier post mentioned that many Mgobloggers don't know names or numbers of retired players. Probably because we/they saw Michigan football in the 90s through today, and haven't bothered to learn about earlier years. The only #s I remember are the Wistert brothers(#11) and Tom Harmon (#98). Certainly know about Gerald Ford, Ron Kramer(maybe the finest athlete ever at Michigan), and Bennie Oosterbaan. Go to the Bentley Library website, bentley.umich.edu, for a great archive of Michigan athletic history. Woodson and Howard: Both worthy based on records. Once they retire the greatest wide-receiver in NCAA history, Anthony Carter, they can consider these guys. Sorry, Desmond doesn't hold a candle to AC. |

Good race, though I too was waiting for rain to mess with things. Vettel has the field covered. If Red Bull's KERS becomes reliable, watch out. Heard recently that Indianapolis may lose the motorcycle race to Austin in 2013. My guess is this is the announcement. |
| 1 year 10 weeks ago | Illinois is no rival |
Only in there minds, for several reasons. 1)They hired Gary Moeller as head coach in 1978, and Illinois won 5 games in 3 years. 2)Coach at Illinois, Mike White, committed NCAA violations and Bo had the audacity to say he should be fired. 3)Michigan won 70-21 in 1981(82?) over Illinois, rubbing it in since Michigan had rehired Moeller.
I went to the M vs. UofI game at Champaign in 1985. Illinois person comes up to me with a "BO HAS AIDS" button. Classy group of people. Game ended in 3-3 tie. Chris White, coaches son, misses field goal at end of game to preserve Michigan tie. Dieter Heren partially blocked the kick for Michigan. |
| 1 year 24 weeks ago | Jimmy V and graduation |
Yes, Jimmy gave a moving speech. Sad that he died so young. And he ran one of the foulest basketball programs ever. Graduating few of his players. None of the players from the championship ever graduated. Ran afoul of the NCAA and left NCState in disgrace. None of this ever gets mentioned when DickieV goes on about his great friend. Glad that Michigan has never played in this farce of a tournament. |
