Here's a fun link freestyle rapping:  https://myspace.com/dconega/video/d.cone-goin-in-for-life.-/53961047

Now he's doing other artistic stuff as a performer.   Apparently he has many musical influences outside of rap.  He got an segment on the Atlanta AM morning show, and also has some filmmaking shorts:

Nice to see him going for it.

Tom Brady. That 1999 season was just a tad short of great. Only if LC found a way to utilize both him and Henson in the offense without throwing everything else in chaos.

Yeah, but there were never any try to get a cohesive game plan utilizing them. Tom would start and then Henson would come in the second quarter and the 'hotter hand' would go in the second half. 

But it always seemed so ad-hoc. It didn't seem to flow cohesively.

Michigan has had a lot of great quarterbacks, but for me:

Denard and Devin are my favorites.  Dynamic players and great program ambassadors who set the bar for handling themselves with class.

It's going to take a lot for them to be overtaken in my book.

I think Brian Griese is definitely high on my list because national champions and Tai Streets. Griese to Streets ranks near the top of my favorite QB to WR connections at Michigan. Anyone else have any favorite QB-WR combos?

I think the stat is that Carter scored a touchdown every eighth time he touched the ball. People talk about how exciting Denard was, and he was clearly exciting.  But a player as electric as AC in an era where the average score was probably 17-13 is on a whole different level.

The 14 that was worn by Brian Griese. That season is the greatest of the 25 I remember.

The only thing that will change that is the QB who wins the National Championship under Harbaugh.

Lots of love for Todd Collins too.  Always thought he got screwed in the pros.  Played well when given a chance.

I am related to him somewhere down the line.

I did not grow up in Michigan or follow the wolverines until I went to school there.  So of course, you learn about 1969 and the Ohio State win once you are there.  One of the all time boiggest wins in Michigan history.

When I eventually found out who the QB was for the that milestone game, I was floored.

Ever since The Guarantee, I understood that sports was more mental than physical. Sure, it's nice to have Pep's athletic ability. It's a must to play that level of competition, but he wins with his mental toughness. Harbaugh knows this. Harbaugh taught me this when I was eight years old.

When it comes to Denard Robinson. Guy was super exciting, but hopefully no one forgets that he just couldn't throw the ball. His horrid touch on deep balls really hamstrung this team on occasion.
