There are...(x2)
...days until Curt Mallory (LB 1989-1990) sees the current edition of his Michigan Football team get another season started on a classic Saturday afternoon at the Big House.

Go Blue!
In light of Coach Mo's passing, this set of players for the next few days will highlight that era!
Let's check out the home opener from #39's senior year. Considering the matchup, it is probably worthy preparation for home openers in the not-too-distant future...
Thanks WH, and, as always, enjoy.
Michigan's first 3 TDs were out of the wish bone. It was a thing of beauty.
Boy do I miss the old days.
Boy do I miss Keith Jackson
Wait…did something happen to him?
He retired a while back.
Today's NIL Spotlight goes solo for the first time in several days. Let's give it up for sophomore linebacker Joel Metzger!

When the time for me to post yesterday came around, I ran into photo uploading issues yet again. Not sure if it was a quirk of the recent site updates — but it works now, so let's make up for it!
Yesterday there WERE...
...days until Burnie Legette (FB 1989-1992) watches his Wolverines face CSU to open their 143rd season in Ann Arbor.
#40 senior team under Gary Moeller had one goal in mind: "sing The Victors in Pasadena."
This is the game where that was realized...
Senior running back Leon Franklin and sophomore running back Christian Boivin would've made up yesterday's NIL Spotlight.

HC of the fighting Sycamores...... might be one of the most intimidating trees found in the midwest!
We need another 'Mallory' at Michigan!!
There's only one Mallory
She was so beautiful.
Mickey Knox would like a word.
Almost did - Will Mallory (Mike Mallory's son) was recruited in the 2018 class as a TE but he chose Miami over Michigan.
He is still there at Miami as a RS Senior - he has had a solid career and may be primed for a breakout in 2022 with Tyler Van Dyke as the QB.
Curt sure has a 'Yes Sir, May I have another' look on his face. Henry Hill was my favorite #39, as he played middle guard at 220 pounds and became an All-American at the position (1970) after being a walk-on in 1968. When I started back in school in 1975 (after taking a few years off), he inspired me to tell my boss that I was going to bulk up to 220 and walk on the team. After I sobered up, I decided that would not be prudent.
Also have to love #40, as the two favorite Rons that I actually saw play wore that number - Ron Johnson and Ron Simpkins. Both were studs. Even I'm not old enough to have seen Ron Kramer wear the Maize and Blue...
Coach Mo in picture with his son - big ole smile of a proud papa!
I can just see the pre-picture set up with Mo saying "wait! where's my whistle? gotta have that around my neck so years from now people will know I was a coach!"
I am Ron Burgandy?
