There are...
...days until Mel Owens (LB 1977-1980) sees some defensive power for what will be a ferocious edition of Donny's Dudes, with another year of experience in blitzing with cruelty, against our biggest non-conference rival in South Bend!

Go Blue and To Hell With Notre Dame!
To prepare you for Sept 1, here is today's vid:

As always, thanks WH and enjoy!
I obviously missed the “Bike” brand by a few decades
I hope it was pronounced “bike-y”
I remember those days. The famous Bike Swash was ubiquitous. Their “Jumpmen” hoops gear really complemented their Hair Jordins.
I thought their gear was called "junkman" and that their product line included cups and jockstraps.
I remember their slogan - "Just Do It....But Not In The Cup Because It's Not Airtight And That's Just Gross Anyway"
I thought their gear was called "junkman" and that their product line included cups and jockstraps.
One of the most underrated Wolverines (and Rams) of all time.
I knew Mel Owens from my time in West Quad and were in the same friend group with Rick Leach and his Flint buddies. Damn those were good times being a Michigan student. Athletes were just your basic friends in that era without the handlers of today. I would go to the Old IM building during that era and play pickup basketball games with Dave Baxter and Steve Grote in the offseason. I mean those guys played in the 1976 finals versus that Indiana squad with Scott May and Benson! Great memories. The University of Michigan is the greatest college experience a student can have in my humble opinion.
Go Blue !!!
Just FYI. I was looking through btn guide. Two new Michigan classics will be on. The game 2003 will air Monday July 16 9pm. The 2004 Michigan MSU game Braylon will be on Thursday July 19 at 9pm. Get the football kick going here in summer.
Great news, except that I no longer get BTN from my cable provider because I live out of BTN footprint.
