I miss Anthony Carter even more.
IMHO, AC was both the most impactful player AND the greatest receiver in the last 50 years of Michigan Football. He literally changed the way Bo coached football and ushered the passing game into Bo's offensive philosophy. If not for the legacy of Anthony, how many of the great receivers (and QB's) that followed would have worn the Winged Helmet?
I feel sorry for anyone who didn't witness football at The Big House during the Carter era. There was a otherwise unseen and unheard-of buzz that took over Michigan Stadium any time AC took the field, any time he went back to receive a punt or kickoff, any time took off on the reverse, and especially any time he streaked down the field as the intended receiver, even when double-covered. When the ball was in AC's hands you just knew good things were about to happen!
I would put Anthony right up there with Denard as the most beloved players in Michigan Football History.
If you weren't, there are tons of clips with AC making big time plays in big games and/or critical points in the game. Still gives me goosebumps watching him.
I wish I could spake to him. I would say " hey Mike remember that time you called MSU little brother".? I just want you to know that was really stupid. Then I'd ask " Mike how does it feel to play for UM for 4 years and not beat OSU of MSU even one time ? sure miss him, miss him a lot.

I'd prefer simply 20 fishing trips.
Or 40 drunken benders. #reloaded.
That works for me.

20 straight weekends of fishing, that sounds so great. Fishing every weekend in July and August is fun if you go at night. Its just torture out there during the day.
I will bring the boat. I have like 400 different fishing rods. Bait casters. Spinning reels.
We'll fish for walleye and pike early in am and late in the evening. Smallies between 10 and 5. Gotta have high skies. Blue bird day for them small jaws tho especially on the bay.
Oh god. And nothing more than 10 mph winds. ;).
Let's do this.

July is the worst. It seems like the longest month of the year....
April 16th, 2016 at 11:34 AM ^
I used to feel that way, but Harbaugh keeps things entertaining year round now
Comes to town every week or so now, so the runup to the season is much more bearable these days. Saving my pennies for the next time.
Oh, I don't know - the fact that July happens to be my birth month sort of salvages it for me, but yeah, it is a rather slow sports month, especially if you're not a baseball person. I happen to like baseball rather a lot, so that helps too. Still, it can be a grueling month on MGoBlog unless you enjoy discussing what you're reading right at that moment.
We do have Harbaugh moments hopefully upcoming, of course. He never sleeps, or so it seems.
July b day here as well. plus the 4th of July is a fantastic holiday. July is the epitome of summer and we should all be out enjoying pool parties, trips to the beach, etc. rather than worrying about sports.
April 16th, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
But I'm wishing my summer away
April 16th, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
to torture us as we yearn for September and Michigan Football.
April 16th, 2016 at 11:02 AM ^
Did you say 420?
April 16th, 2016 at 11:24 AM ^
I realize nothing is going to change, but my god I hate these threads...at least wait until we're 99 days and in.
Carry on though, I'm not going to get butthurt about it. I know, "DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!"

I hope it lasts

Mike Hart. I so very overly-competent with the ball in his hand. He wasn't overly fast...but he never fumbled and he always gained yards. Picked the right hole. Hard to bring down.
STUD.

except that bowl game where he fumbled like 4 times
April 16th, 2016 at 12:33 PM ^
Would have been a BLOWOUT with out the fumbles, He just wanted Florida and Tebow to feel like it was a game
true.
Kinda like when you are playing with your little brother?

So far away!
Boring as fuck compared to ours, I'm not impressed. My eyes are telling me we're a better team.
I want to go into Toiletbus and kick their fucking asses!
Coolerbus?
but seriously, that town and cool need not be close to each other in a sentence.
Make that 'Coolerpooperbus' instead.
once GoT starts next week, then 10 weeks will go fast.
One of my all time favorite Michigan players
Can't wait for the season to start!
I'm with you man! This stinking, long, hot summer is gonna be painful and I'm sure our Tigers will make it that much longer.

for Detroit, though---they just beat the Astros 5-3 and now have won 7 of their first 10 games. Not only are they 7-3, but they're doing it against top teams such as the Astros, Pirates, and Yanks, playing well at home and on the road.
A potent lineup and solid starting pitching have impressed, but the real key has been great relief pitching.
As long as Ausmus doesn't get in the way, this team could be really really good.
April 17th, 2016 at 12:04 AM ^
I've got Woodson, Desmond, Denard & AC at the top of the pile together. All such unique & special athletes. Tons of great wolverines but these guys all seem to have superpowers.
