OT: Xmas Eve and What Michigan Player are you Thankful for?
This is all time and whatever sport you want.
For me...Its Denard. I am so thankful for you my man. He brought me so much Joy..more joy than any player I can remember in the last 15 years. An honest share of frustration too...but man so much FUN to watch.
I hate the RR years, but we wouldn't have one of the most amazing Michigan Men to attend the University without RR. So thank you Denard! You were pure excitement and lightning to watch.

John Kolesar ... throw the ball.

Now: DPJ, Quinn Hughes, Iggy (not a bandwagon pick! Iggy’s classes were at Orangeville high, the same place my Dad went to high school).
Ever: Charles Woodson, Trey Burke, Jed Ortmeyer.

Harbaugh always. He was our playground hero as kids and seeing him come back brought back so many great memories for me. I really want him to succeed with building something special here.
Also Rumeal Robinson. I'll never forget those 2 clutch free throws.
December 25th, 2018 at 12:02 AM ^
Rumeal Robinson sealed our only title, he also joined Terry Mills and Vaught in the first round of the 90 draft.

It all started w me UA Game 2016 and I spent a lot of time down in Florida w Gary, Bush, Brederson, Walker, McDoom and I knew if we landed them it was gonna be great.
Gary - Thanks so much for being a face for Michigan when we needed someone to help us.

Glen Rice for his incredible shooting and bringing the NC home in '88-'89.
Charles for doing the same in '97.
Denard because.
Every other UM student athlete for representing the University the way it should be.

Zack Novak. Epitomizes the basketball program from Beilein on down

Big John Vitale.
Not a five star in the rankings. But played and led like a five star in reality. As is always expected of a great Michigan Man, he conducted his life like a five star all the way to his way to premature passing from this life.

All of them. Anthony Carter has a soft spot in my heart though.
Had his jersey in High school. 1981 grad.

Denard. One of the few true game-changers that appear for a team in any given generation. His first season as a starter had many magical moments.
December 25th, 2018 at 7:30 AM ^
Chase Winovich no question.
December 25th, 2018 at 7:49 AM ^
70s Rick Leach
80s Anthony Carter

December 25th, 2018 at 8:02 AM ^
All of them, and especially Chase and Devin.
December 25th, 2018 at 8:08 AM ^
Tripp Welborne and Vada Murray ... that shot of them leaping to block a kick against OSU is one of my favorites. Always loved the way they played.
Basketball was Glenn Rice, man he could shoot.
Hockey - Brendan Morrison

Nobody said Marcus Ray?
December 25th, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
Marcus did.

He’s in a donut coma. Can’t comment until he snaps out of it.
