Reclaim the EDSBS Throne: 2014 Charity Drive this Week
EDSBS announced their charity drive this morning (link) that Michigan fans have won in perpetuity. The charity this year is going to Refugee Resettlement and Immigration Services of Atlanta that helps folks get on their feet after moving to the US after getting uprooted in their home countries.
Relevant Michigan quotes:
WHAT'S IN THIS FOR ME?
Well, we ate cheese last year, so you can't make us do anything worse on a dare. The initial prize is this: whatever school wins gets the full road trip treatment from us no matter the winning total. Given Michigan's long streak of victories, this probably means a trip to Ann Arbor and the long-awaited trip to go to Zingerman's, pronounce it overrated, and then receive the beating of our lives from the hands of outraged Michiganders. Whatever: winner gets the full road trip anyway, even with the anticipated beatings.
MICHIGAN'S WON THIS THING LIKE EIGHT THOUSAND YEARS RUNNING, RIGHT?
Yes. But remember that a long losing streak never dissuaded a Michigan Man, and neither should it discourage you.
The streak must continue!
Speaking of streaks, I read today that after Texas was without a draft pick this year, Michigan and USC are tied for the longest streak of players being drafted. Both schools have gone unbroken since 1939.
Who are draftables after our awesome 2014-2015 season?
I guess I could peruse a depth chart but who are the draftable seniors after this year. I know attrition has it at a small list?
Jake Ryan is probably the best option. Devin Gardner, Desmond Morgan, Frank Clark and Raymon Taylor are other options. Or if someone like Funchess left early.
Gardner was getting lots of hype last summer after the Manning Passing Academy and before his ribs were crushed into 38,123 pieces behind that OL.
Jake Ryan and Frank Clark are seniors, those are probably the 3 most likely candidates unless someone blows up and leaves early.
I don't think any of those guys will be 1st rounders, but both Jake Ryan and Frank Clark should get drafted somewhere. They aren't stars, but they're big athletic dudes who have been pretty productive. Plus, they have 4 first names between then, which, damn.
My cousin Michael James Scott scoffs at their monikeristic mortalism.
Gardner should be drafted as well, but maybe not at QB. Just too much athleticism there to not have someone take a flyer out on him.
I felt bad for talking about the draft in a charity thread so I made a donation. :)
Also, yes, donate to EDSBS for this, he does good things. And a Michigan Man does donate to charity.
Just donated. Also posted to my facebook inviting all of my non-blog friends to donate.
A Michigan man wins charity drives and does not permit a fine deli sandwich to be slandered in public
Zingerman's is awful.
I've always assumed the love came from Michigan natives who never had the good fortune to experience good deli and east eoasters so desperate for a good deli they convinced themselves giant overpriced bread bowls were the answer.
In a row. It's a matter of Mgoblog pride now
Donate! Be a part of at least one winning Michigan team this year.
