Last 2 players to wear #1 were Terrell (98-00) and Edwards (03-04) -wow it's been a long time.

If you had asked me who a likely candidate was for #1 should it be given out, I probably would have said Devin Funchess, so I am glad to see that he will be wearing it - I happen to think that he stands a good shot at a "#1-style season", if you will. That, and it just seems right when it is on someone who can not only produce but hurdle over defenders. Good for Funchess!

Another jersey for Wolverine Devotee to purchase!

Hell yessSSSSSS!

Did you even read the statement?
He said he wasn't a TE anymore, so he shouldn't wear a number to honor a TE. Instead he wanted to pass it on to someone who plays the position.

Finally get to see #1 again. I think Funch lives up to it. #1 and #2 on the field again!
August 30th, 2014 at 11:28 AM ^
I can't wait to watch some Michigan Football! Welcome back #1!
August 30th, 2014 at 11:29 AM ^
I was sad. But that looks sweet. Gotta think Butt moves to 87 when he comes back
August 30th, 2014 at 11:30 AM ^
Now play at the level that jersey demands.

It's interesting that the most legendary of Michigan numbers is not an official "Legends" jersey. As a whole it probably deserves the patch, but not just for one player (I think AC would be the closest).
I am glad somebody is wearing it so we can put all the stupid "does he deserve it" discussion to rest.
August 30th, 2014 at 11:36 AM ^
Butt to 87 then?
August 30th, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
One man, three numbers, infinite possibilities.

If so, then #87 < #1, which is an insult to Ron Kramer's jersey. If not, then Funchess is getting downgraded.
I guess... I'm glad that he's wearing a WR number. But what's wrong with giving him #21, the WR number that's actually honored at Michigan?

Wow, that was really classy. Shows respect for the Kramer family and the jersey number. I love our players.

A legend number post not started by Wolverine Devotee and not even a comment from him yet.

Every Michigan "fan" and everyone on twitter giving Devin Funchess a hard time about EARNING the #1 jersey can go screw themselves. 3 td in the first HALF against an inferior opponent.
You weren't there for all of Spring and Fall practice and have NO idea what he did during that time. The coaches decided that he EARNED it over the offseason. Eat crow guys.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
Funchess is #1, as it should be. I watched all of them, starting with AC. Funchess is a man among boys. The 3 TD's in the first half didn't just happen because of the level of the opposition. He is going to be a monster, a beast, against almost all cornerbacks out there. Because of his play, this is going to help the OL and the running game tremendously.

My favorite catch was for his third TD. Double coverage, in the end zone, and he takes it away from one of the defenders who had a hand on the ball and should have blocked it? Yes please!
