How did Bacon get so close to the Program?
As a young fan (high school) I've have heard Bacon's name a lot during the end of the RR era and the past couple of weeks. However, he is only (at least it seems like it) a writer who loves college football, and who graduated from UM. What allowed him to get the "inside" access to the university?

He went to school at the University of Michigan, worked at the Ann Arbor News and Detroit News, and currently teaches at UM. Dude has been at or around the university for almost 30 years.

I think more importantly he wrote book(s) with and about Bo, and interviewed him numerous times during his time here. He's featured on many Michigan documentaries, especially the ones about the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

to the football program for three years, with the only stipulation that Rod would read the ms. for factual accuracy--no promise from Bacon that he would change anything. Which speaks. . . volumes.

everyone who's anyone knows huron blows at all things.
Side note--i once was too drunk junior year at michigan, and i almost got into a fight with someone from huron. from what my friends recollected, the conversation literally went:
random dude happening to be walking on same street--"hey man do i know you from somewhere? did you go to huron?"
me--"blkasdflakshf fuxxxxx huron"
random dude who is unfortunately also an idiot--"hey fuck you man pioneer is queer"
me--"a;lakhsdf;alksdhf i'll killzzz you"
(me shove him)
(cop strolls up)--"are we going to have a problem here?"
me--"a;sldfkhas;dflkh yes we a--(sober thoughts prevail)--no sorry, officer.
drunken disinhibition of high school grudges i didn't know i had=a depressing insight into my subconscious mind.

You're right though. With the exception of a few musicians Huron got the short end of the stick.

huron has faired much better than pioneer since the opening of skyline.

He'd been doing it for 12 years and figured it was time to move on.

Well with a name like Bacon, people just couldn't say no.
October 3rd, 2014 at 8:14 PM ^
Was just going to say. Everyone loves Bacon. And if you say you don't you are a liar.

what are you doing back around these parts?
I thought you were told to leave, Phork.
October 4th, 2014 at 8:19 PM ^
Why would I be told to leave?
