I miss Ann Arbor. Stupid Florida. I will be there Saturday in spirit only. Luckily, I have BTN, so I can cheer from home.
Good to see Phil Brabbs will be there to captain the blue team. Think we'll get to see Zoltan out there playing some QB?
will be playing whatever he damn well pleases.
Good to see two Wolverines giving cancer the Brandon-Graham-on-Glenn-Winston treatment...
Awesome amount of former players, it will be interesting to see them play.
I still would prefer more Opong-Owusus.
I wanted to see more Carrs there...
Good thing nepotism isn't an NCAA recruiting violation. I can't believe we allowed Lloyd Carr to coach both Jason and Willie Carr on the same team!
I'd kill to see Henne vs. Brady in a flag football game though.
It doesn't look like any current NFL guys are actually playing.
However, the 2025 Alumni Flag Football Game could be a game for the ages.
is playing.
This name stood out to me. Always assumed he didn't really come back to Ann Arbor (sour relationship with Coach Carr and what not) ... can't recall him being a part of Woodson/Griese golf event ... Does anyone know if Pierre's been back much?
I don't recall him ever disliking Lloyd Carr or Michigan as much as his HS Coach Ted Ginn Sr. did. Good to see him back regardless. Any former Michigan football player should be welcomed back with open arms...
Well... except for Mike Boren or Jim Harbaugh.

Disagree on Harbaugh... bring on Stanford. Let's pound em 1902 Rose Bowl style!

They said on WTKA that Pierre was probably just going to hang out on the sidelines. He'll maybe go in for one play.
April 15th, 2010 at 11:23 PM ^
Larry Foote last year and he ended up playing the whole game.
I'd want to see Brady vs. Henson, to settle the score, you know ;)
I hope the linemen wear protective gear for when Navarre throws the ball right at their face.
+8
Opinions?
That is an impressive collection of former greats. I would kill to be there on Saturday. I don't know what I'm going to do, no BTN. Maybe there will be something on Justin.tv
matched up against Tacopants, if the latter shows up, Neutralizing Tac's height advantage.
Good to see Zia Combs back in action too
Combs is going to be an assistant coach for Ronald Bellamy at West Bloomfield High School for the upcoming season, too.
It would be pretty awesome to have two former U of M football players as your coaches if you were a high schooler.
Dude, Jim Conley is almost 60. I want to see him crush someone. I want to see him sack Navarre and then be like 'Take that, you whippersnapper.'
Also, Brigstock is old too. I expect massive awesomeness out of him.
'62-'65? They've gotta be almost 70 then. WOW!
without inviting David Boston for a cameo appearance!

Rick Leach's first pass is picked of. Jimmy B. gets him on the microphone and asks, "Rick, what exactly happened on that interception?" Rick Leach replies "I'm 52 years old, Jim."
April 15th, 2010 at 10:57 PM ^
I wanted to go around downtown before the game! Now I'll have to wait till after, because I've gotta see that!
