NY Times Article About Short Shorts
My earliest memory of Michigan basketball was the Fab Five's freshman season. I'll never forget reading the book by Mitch Albom and Jalen switching shorts with the biggest guy on the team.
Thanks to DJ Wilson, Jordan Poole, and Isaiah Livers, the trend is back the other way. Livers has switched shorts with Z and most guys roll up their shorts 3 times.

I wonder how successful a FarmersOnly.com and a BlackPeopleMeet.com mixer would be?
It's these kinds of thoughts that have held me back in life...
I'm a huge proponent of not objectifying anyone.
I'm temporarily fighting a losing battle.

it's funny, when you see the Fab Five pictures now, the shorts don't seem all that short. But at the time, they looked like bloomers.
Those and the Cazzie Russell-era uniforms are the best Michigan basketball has had. And I say that a someone who has worked as a fashion designer in Milan since 1908.

I hate short shorts, mostly because I was a stick thin high schooler with legs up to my neck. I played in the 80's, so this was a transition period between SHORT shorts and a slightly looser look. But shorts were still too short, IMHO. I would have killed to play in the longer shorts era. My mom preferred to comment on how many times I picked wedgies out of my ass crack during the game rather than my basketball skills. The short short resurgence kindles insecure, awkward teenager thoughts.
A certain fit group of people has always been fine working out in a pair of "ranger panties". However it just doesn't work unless you have the legs for it.

the smaller the German bathing suit and the louder the German voice shouting orders in German to everyone who does not understand German.
Es tut mir leid, Herr Wagner.
Of course, our shorts are still long by pre-Fab Five standards. They're only short for the post-1991 era.
Short shorts and long hair are back.
I was in JV when we switched from short shorts (with spandex) to longer jams. To me it felt so much freer with longer shorts. It wasn't long after that no dudes wore shorties except for football coaches age 45 or older.
short shorts are for pirates.
Young People Will Always Think The Generation Before Them Was Uncool
(I'm not hoping for a return to 1979 type shorts, but Jesus what's the point if they're below the knee? They're basically man-capris at that point).
