“He can go there and be God, and never get fired. That’s a home he can live in and stay at. It’ll be like [Nick] Saban in Alabama. He’ll do whatever he wants there. I’d call that the logical place for him.’’
To quote Michael Jackson, "That's ignorant". Michigan is not Alabama. The University President is from Brown, not an alumnus, and is evaluated on the continued expansion of research grants, not the success of the football team. Harbaugh and every coach will have boundaries.
Well now that you got the last name right! I did know a couple of Roberts, but it's a pretty common name.
For anyone actually from Owosso, or anyone who can identify with small town gossip and trivia, there is a Facebook page named "YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM OWOSSO IF... ". It is very amusing to read many of the same experiences people had and reminisce about some landmark businesses that are no longer.
One of the funniest things about going to school in Owosso was all the boys going to swimming classes in Junior High and High School COMPLETELY NAKED. I, for one, didn't think anything of it because you just did what you were told to do. Apparently this was anything but common, in fact people have tried unsuccessfully to find ANY other school system where this was done. You had to strip down cue-ball naked, go thru the cold showers that spit out sharp pellets of ice, then go to the pool area and line up, everyone just shivering. It was cold. There wasn't too much shrinkage because packages were already quite small in their natural state.
Guess we were just lucky that Jerry Sandusky wasn't our gym coach.
Holy cow what a place we have here. Roma's pizza behind the "Capital Theater". Geezo. About 1/3 of the population has left Owosso, I think. I am from the Brad VanPelt era, his bro was my best friend, used to sleep over there a lot.
I am actually on the can at work right now and you guys are making me laugh out loud from behind door #3. Now I have to wait for everyone else to leave before I come out.
Hey, I am also from the Greater Owosso Metropolitan Statistical Area, Easton in fact, close to New Lothrup, graduated from Owosso High School. Live in Virginia now.

I've been checking ebay for tix and the couple of dozen offerings all seem to be in the Bama section.
The lack of experience and depth on both lines scares me.
