Fucking Hamilton!  That kick against Notre Dame on the road was straight, long, true and pure.  Never a doubt when it left his foot...

And how can you not love a kid whose Florida Mom was a bar owner, and named him after Remy Martin cognac.

Mark Messner is a great choice. For those too young to remember, Messner could dominate a game from the interior DL in much the same way Mo Hurst did last year. And I have no idea what his playing weight was but it was probably around 250 pounds. Just super quick and instinctive.

I can remember for years after that punt return and pose that every time anybody would score a td in our backyard or school yard football games they would do the same

QB - Tom Brady (yes even when he was here)



RB - Mike Hart



WR - Mario Manningham or Adrian Arrington, loved them together



TE - Jake Butt



OL - Jake Long



DL - Lamarr Woodley



LB - David Harris



CB - Charles Woodson, this is the only correct answer, you sociopaths



S - Jabrill Peppers or Ernest Shazor, Shazor only had one great season, but he’s the true safety here and he made some big plays that 04 season



ST - Steve Breaston or Peppers, and I also appreciated #ChubbyKicker Garrett Rivas. If Nordin has a great 4 years and maintains his cocky, Wild Thing persona he might end up my favorite. Swag and kickers don’t often mix.

That play is etched in my memory.  I never let my wife forget how she left the stadium early to go back and study, while I stayed (we were dating at the time so I didn't start  bringing it up until after we were married).  She got to somewhere on State St. when she heard The Roar from the stadium and ran into some store that had a TV on.  Memories.

really really enjoyed watching Marquise Walker.  He is probably my favorite wide receiver that I have watched at Michigan.  The teams he played for weren't all that great, but he was a spectacular college receiver.

Didn't Walker drop a critical pass that would have been a touchdown against OSU in 2001?
