LOL I just saw this commercial! The rivalry being what it is, it's hard to believe that Eddie George went for this. Chuck is great... per usual!

The Bentley account also states that both Biff and Bennie lived for a time at a small zoo near the Natural History Museum, "but eventually became too vicious to remain on campus and were moved to the Detroit Zoo."

One of the essential keys to football success has always been to have a mascot so vicious that it has to live in a habitat roughly 40 driving miles from campus. A lot of teams do not know this, it appears.

Kudos to Eddie, who was masterful in the sad-sack victim role.  The Wolverine was all the more frightening for never being seen, a nice Hitchcock touch, and Charles was the best.

Don’t be so quick about that. I can see them doing a commercial with some Heisman winners in the back yard of the Heisman house, having a great time hanging out, everyone smiling and laughing. Then the camera pans to the fence showing Peyton, Suh, and maybe mcaffrey or some other runner up, in tattered jerseys with sad sack looks on their face, bemoaning their Heisman race loss. And as the camera view widens it shows an overgrown backyard and a dilapidated house with a couple of rusted out clunker cars in the driveway. 
 

Actually, now that I think about it, that’d be a hilarious commercial. Also, manning would probably do it.

From Wikipedia:

”The University of Michigan Athletic Department reports that Biff and Bennie “grew larger and more ferocious,” leading Yost to conclude, "It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly."”
