It's always the right thing to do to simply exclaim KOVACS!
Look out! There are Ko-
-vacs. Ouch. Sorry. I tried to warn you as soon as I saw him.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
Love me some Kovacs.
August 26th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
That play really set the tone for the defense the rest of the year.
August 27th, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
It was pretty fantastic. My favorite was when he lit up "BOOOOOM" Herron.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
There were some big defensive plays in that game that really made it feel like Michigan football was back. Loved seein that game last year.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
Nice, surprised they are only doing 2. Maybe they will have a 3rd be the game captain?
Also, no need for that suspense OP. Just put it in the title.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
I think the norm for Hoke is going to be 2. He said last year they had three because two people finished within 1 vote of each other.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:53 PM ^
Both of these players deserve it. Tremendous players and even better people. Now Beat Bama!!

I should have seen this coming. Congrats.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
First time since 2006 Michigan has had offense-defense captains. They were Jake Long and LaMarr Woodley.
Great picks. Obviously I thought they'd be locks for sure. I'm glad the traditional two-captain format is back.

Kovacs has massive forearms. For some reason Denard just looks weird with his arms crossed.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
That is all.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
I thought people could have used the, "finally, a football thread, with real content inside." thought/feeling.
August 26th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
Are you hunting for page clicks OP?
August 26th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
I apologize.

that no one could see him doing it

Hard to think two more deserving guys for the honor. BTW.....we were on Middle Bass Island about a month ago (next to Put-in-Bay) here in Northern Ohio and my wife and son were both sporting Michigan gear (oddly enough I was not) when a man came up to them at the General Store and asked "are you guys Michigan fans?" When we all said YES he said "my nephew is Jordan Kovacs....if you give me your address I'll have him autograph a picture for you.". Sure enough about three days ago a pic of Jordan laying out the Western Michigan QB arrives in the mail with a "Best wishes to Tommy (my son's name) from Jordan. GO BLUE!" written across the bottom in silver ink.

Cool story bro
August 26th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
Really? Why? It's not funny when it is, in fact, a good story.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
That's one GREAT csb. Totally jealous.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
couldnt imagine two other seniors being chosen for team 133 captains
August 26th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
I was having a hard time figuring out who the third captain would be....I guess that's with good reason.
I was thinking Roh, Roundtree or Campbell, with one of the senior interior lineman as a darkhorse.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
In addition to the positional diversity, I like the racial diversity. It's a refreshing change from that racist John Beilein, who, if you'll recall, hated white people in 2007-08 (captain: Ron Coleman) and 2008-09 (captains: Merritt & Lee), hated all people in 2009-10 (Harris, Sims, and Novak), and hated black people in 2010-11 and 2011-12 (Novak & Douglass). I haven't heard anything for 2012-13, but something tells me that he hates white people again. Stupid racist.
[Note: This is a reference to some particularly dumb comments from some particularly dumb people who saw two white captains on the 2011-12 poster.]

that level of ignorance is truly frightening.
As for the Team 133 captains, I could not be more proud of these two fine young men.

If Wikipedia's telling the truth, then Navarre was a captain in 2003. No Chad Henne in 2007, though (Crable, Hart, and Long).
August 26th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
Safety- Marlin Jackson 2004
Quarterback- John Navarre 2003
Edit: Jackson was back playing corner by 2004, he played safety for his junior year, not his senior year. I'll see if I can find the last bona fide safety captain.

To finish up that last edit, James Whitley was another hybrid DB who captained the 2000 team, and Corwin Brown was the last before that in 1992. Wow, there is definitely a history of issues off the field there.
Also, Bentley doesn't list Tripp Welborne as a captain. The two they list for 1990 are Jarrod Bunch and John Milligan.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
Everyone is missing the horrible and most important point here... We now have an entire one to 12 weeks of reporters asking Jordan if he ever thought he'd become a Michigan captain when he walked on 4 years ago. Kill me now.

That is OK if it stops the BWC stories and the Will Fitz be suspended stories..

16 X 2 =32
Two is the common denomenator.
Who owns a twosie?
Taylor Lewan.
Case solved.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:51 PM ^
Hmmm. This makes too much sense.
August 26th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
Kovacs will go down in Michigan Lore. An everyday kid became a leader and a legend.
