Why Michigan Seniors Accomplished What They Did
I'm always on guys for not being in shape. I'm a grinder and I expect the guys I support to be grinders as well. Well my friends it appears Michigan is losing some grinders and leaders. 2 days after the Sugar Bowl?!?! RVB and Molk eperienced injuries as well.
Mad props to these guys I wish them well, Great saying in the background. Nothing but good in these pictures.

Can you imagine hearing Barwis say that to you? I know for sure I would piss my pants. And crap them. At the same time.

I lived across the street from Huyge and a few other players last year, and one of them in the house had that quote painted on their wall in huge letters clearly visible from the street, haha.

I thought this was going to be another brunette thread.

I wonder how different current coach Aaron Wellman's methods are versus Barwis and what made the players choose Barwis to get them ready for the draft.
I'm sure Barwis will do a great job and good luck to all the fellas - thank them again for all they have done over the years.

I think this is a situation where it is all good. All the reports are that Wellman was well liked by the players, I think this is just a product of time. Barwis has more time to dedicate to them.
I think both guys had a similar approach, with a little differences.

I'm sure there are more reasons than they're "grinders." Well done, though. This is an awesome thread. Facebook link and all.

Love the George Patton quote on the wall behind them

health of the team this year and compare it to previous years, you got to beleive that Wellman did a fine job.
They may have a better relationship with Barwis, they may get more individuilized attention or it could be that combine training may be a bit different than the football routine and Barwis was the better choice

...I would like to see a little more love for Coach Wellman because he did a heck of a job putting a tough, physical, healthy team on the field this past season.
I get that Barwis has a lot more "personality", but let's give some credit ti the guy who is quietly and effectively executing his job as the current S&C Coach for Michigan Football.

Couldn't have sad it any better. Wellman did a great job with this team and should be given a great amount of praise.

Tremondous picture. It is full of win.

The general always had some great ones. My personal favorite:
"A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week"

Barwis really does know what he's doing and he has a track record with Barwis methods already...

I have never understood why anyone would ascribe almost supernatural powers to Barwis. Did he do a good job? I don't have the expertise to do an evaluation. You certainly can't look at W,'s, L's and injuries and use those measures as yardstick. I think it would be reasonable to suppose that there are S&C trainers all over the country with skills that are every bit as good, and that may include our current S & C coach.

Yes but were they raised by wolves? Truthfully, what he helped the Mealers do made me a believer. Say what you want but the guy is an incredible human being. After reading three and out, it added to the legend.

miss these guys. They were a special group without there heart and leadership who knows how long it would have taken for michigan to be respectable. Good luck at the next level, go get em boys.
