49 weeks 6 days ago	Also,	UM generally has a long snapper on scholarship. So whether you offer a guy with the expectation he could start right away or bring him in as a walk on and then put him on scholarship after a year doesn't make that big a difference.
1 year 3 hours ago	he's doing well	Apparently the doctors believe it was a reaction to certain medication he was on.
1 year 6 weeks ago	Surprising	Surprising to me that you're an 07 grad.  For some reason, I always assumed you were in your 40s or 50s.  Not sure why.
1 year 7 weeks ago	So true,	the uniforms we wore against State were so, so terrible.

1 year 14 weeks ago	Certainly more frustrating	I can't say that Howard-Whitley was the low point talent-wise but they were certainly the most frustrating.  Those guys would be playing a great game and then suddenly get smoked for a 40-yard TD where they'd be totally out of position.  It is hard to watch guys that clearly have the talent not produce for some unknown reason.
1 year 14 weeks ago	Navarre at Rick's	Navarre became a regular at Rick's after the 2001 season when he took over for Henson, particularly after the not so memorable OSU game. He'd come in early, often by himself, post up at the bar and have a couple pitchers and then take off before it got crowded. Totally understandable as he took a lot of shit from fans, students, the media, etc at that time. But what I remember the most was how much and how fast he could drink beer. I heard he came from the city with the hiighest rate of bars per person in the country and I'd totally believe it the way he could put them back.

1 year 14 weeks ago	Chris Perry KTFO	Although not a flattering story for the Michigan football program, Chris Perry got knocked the f out by a bouncer at Rick's one night after he decided, unwisely, to spit in the bouncer's face after he was asked to move from where he was standing because he was blocking the entrance to the bar for the guys getting ice and beer and whatnot.  It was the classic one punch, knocked totally off his feet and dropped flat on his back.  He jumped back up and a bunch of people grabbed him and broke it up before anything more could happen.  The look on his face was priceless.
1 year 14 weeks ago	And Rick's is literally the	And Rick's is literally the worst place on the planet to have an open wound.
1 year 14 weeks ago	Dhani Jones sets beard on fire	One night while I was bartending, Dhani Jones and Ian Gold were watching a group of guys doing flaming Dr. Pepper shots and thought it was a good idea to try one.  Dhani had one of the dirtiest, scraggly beards you've ever seen.  Apparently it was pretty flamable too as he spilled some of the shot down his chin and his face burst into flames for a second.  It went out right away but it scared the hell out of everyone around.
