1 week 1 day ago Great guy.

Coach Richardson is a great guy.  In addition to being an obviously successful coach with a great program, he was the head coach of the Wolverine Swim Camp, at least for the several summers my sons attended about 6-8 years ago.  He was a wonderful man and really great with the kids.

I wish him all the best in his retirement.

Phelps might have been a student, but he was considered to be a professional and did not qualify for NCAA competition.
2 weeks 2 days ago Wangler and Carter

"Johnny Wangler looks to have suffered mostly due to losing Anthony Carter his senior season."

Can you remind me what happened here?  I don't remember this.  Carter was a sophomore when Wangler was a senior, so he was certainly around -- unless he was injured.  I was an undergrad (the same year as Carter) and don't remember this. 

What I remember is how Carter suffered in his last 2 seasons when he didn't have Wangler to pass to him.  Steve Smith was a good athlete and a fast runner, but a passer he was not.
2 weeks 2 days ago Not for retired numbers

I don't think the Legends honor is for retired numbers.  The whole point of the legends patch is to avoid retiring more numbers.  If the number is already retired, that is a greater honor (and since no one is wearing it, what would the point be of adding a patch?).

We probably were in the same lounge.  I also have vivid memories of Carter's catch.  I actually left the stadium briefly (highly unusual -- it involved a tiff with a girl), and I walked back in and watched the last few plays of that game from the entrance to section 35.  I'll never forget it.

Carter's catch against Indiana is also my favorite Michigan Replay highlight.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEF6edfexco 

My email is akoschik@brouse.com.  Contact me and let's catch up.
2 weeks 3 days ago The "Bo Show"

I loved Michigan Replay in the late 70s and early 80s.  I agree with the comments that it gave most of us the rare opportunity to see parts of the game since few games were televised.

What I remember the most, however, were my freshman and sophomore years living in MoJo.  After grabbing lunch at Markley, a group of us would rush back to one of the TV lounges (no one had their own TV) and watch what everyone called "The Bo Show."  No one called it Michigan Replay then.
3 weeks 16 hours ago Good

Good.  While in general I think 3:30 is too late, noon starts are definitely too early (and yes, I know, TV won't allow a 1:00 start).   But I think 3:30 starts are infinitely better for homecoming because there are some events scheduled for that weekend in particular that are cut way too short if the game starts at noon.  The last few years, homecoming games have been rushed to start at noon.

Given that so many of you like to pregame every week, I guess I could live with 3:30 every week.  Certainly the undergrads (like my son) prefer 3:30.  If they can get into the stadium for kickoff, if not for the band show, it is a plus.  There really is no excuse for not being there for a 3:30 start.
