Someone has to put their foot down and that Foote is him. --Dean Vernon Wormer
Put Niedermeier (Michigan grad) on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you!
There's a mildly unfortunate/ humorous typo in the last sentence of the Mark Messner write-up. What a difference a letter makes!
What's a little indictment between friends?
I totally spaced and didn't mention that the vote is open until May 12. So support your Wolverines!!

May I suggest also throwing some support behind Kenny Morrow. Flint lad was part of the Miracle on Ice, won four straight cups with the Isles and owned a beard that made lumberjacks proud.
I don't know man, seems like Harbaugh still has a lot to prove.
Wow what a class of studs.They should just put all of them in right now.How could anyone in their right mind not vote to admit to the HoF.
I like his chances. Hard to believe he's not there already.
The worst player on our baseball team went yard off Drew Henson his senior year.
That is my cool story for the day. Bro.
I second all those nominations.
But will he win the “Man of the Year” award that Michigan awarded Trump?
After careful consideration of Mr. Harbaugh's qualifications, and in-depth analysis of the applicable qualifying parameters, with additional exploration of all available evidence, the response regarding his prospective inclusion yields but one possibility:
Duh.
Who is this Harbaugh guy? Is he the one who Coach Bo told… “You’ll never play a down for Michigan.”
To be fair, Bo said that to everyone. And I'm sure he said it to Harbaugh with the same conviction he would have said it to me - a scrawny kid that didn't play HS football!
See, back in January I was telling Coach Harbaugh....."those who stay, will get nominated to the HOF."
I'm glad he listened..... BTW, has he actually signed a new contract yet?
Drew Henson:
NOPE
Too Soon.
Wow, Sierra Romero is an absolute slam dunk. What a career. Go Blue
yes Michigan. We graduated together so I say yes despite the fact that he totally blew...couldn't be bothered. Actually I spent 3 years on campus with Jim and don't recall ever seeing him. I do recall seeing Jaime Morris a few times and have a bit of a story I josh about now and again. Hail to Jim.
edit>s>except on the field at the big house for one second half and on tv as I did make it a point to watch games as an undergraduate student. Just did not gravitate to the stadium which I regret to some extent.
I am guessing morris is not in yet. If not, he should be soon. He was a joy to watch and an essential part of the harbaugh era teams.
