HALOL
Dude looks like he should be part of the cast of "Sons of Anarchy"
Too funny, dude. That was my first reaction as well. Not exactly the Michigan brand we're trying to sell, huh...
by it's cover.
Could totally be in the RC.
The man is at a charity event! How he looks should not matter.
You say that like it is a bad thing. SOA was a great show.
Also, we at Michigan should know well enough not to judge a book by its cover. He was participating in a charity event. If given the choice between a player with tattoos (that he paid for himself, of course) and/or long hair, who is a team player and does charitable work, or a clean-cut guy that is all about himself, I will take the former any day.
Sons of Anarchy IS a great show...can't wait to see what they do with Jax being in charge now.
Correct. Sometimes my typing gets ahead of my brain. It looks like there will be at least two more seasons and I can't wait to see where they go with it.
Ehh, don't judge a book by its cover. He is a total Michigan Man who played center in the mid-90s.
Met him at Mott when he visited with Hoke. Great guy.
I love Steve Everitt and appreciate the ruffian look. I remember how he didn't flinch with he injuried his dominant hand and just said "Hell, I 'll snap with the other." He is sporting one of our shirts and he is a Michigan Man....just one that looks like he keeps Bear Grylls in his back pocket.
Didn't he also break his jaw and just play with it wired shut?
Yup. Also IIRC he learned to snap with his left hand when he broke his right.
He was the center when I was there from 89-92 and one of the toughest guys ever.
That was one of the scarier injuries I remember seeing at Michigan Stadium. I remember there being a bloody spot on the field where he went down for the rest of the game (SE corner of the field, around the 10-15 yard line). Even in later games that season my mind would trick me into continuting to see it. I was young, so I could be compltely mis-rememebering it all anyways though...
It was on a Ricky Powers touchdown run against Notre Dame in 1991. I didn't include the footage of him lying on the ground in pain.
8:45 in...
Thanks, man. Sanity confirmed.
I approve of this thread.
creep you out at all?
I don't get creeped out
On a related note, ESPN has a short article up about the event :

Nice to see Stafford was involved with the event as well. Apparently he donated 6 tix for auction, and won the bid for $15,000 to give to the family of an ailing girl at the hospital. Good to see him be involved with the community even though he's not from the area.
This man is everything I want to be at that age.
Hairy, Rich, and awesome?
is not bad, right?
Can someone please Photoshop Bear Grylls peaking out of Everitt's pocket? Just a simple, totally sane, request.
watching him carry a half barrel of beer at his chest level like most would carry a six pack of bottles...had the luxury of graduating with him...great man. And yes to the jaw, yes to the snapping hand. He was the epitomy of toughness and determination. He is also a very talented artist/painter..probably explains the carefreeappearance, he just thinks differently....dude has talent and intimidation on his side.
If I got the crowd right, the guys at Underground Printing did their share at the Mott fundraiser Saturday night.
As a response, everyone should buy something from them.
He literally has a screw loose. Surgeons inserted a metal plate in his jaw after he broke it in college. Somehow, one of the screws holding the plate in place fell out - whereabouts unknown.
