But what are those flowers that suddenly pop up when Desmond Howard goes into his Heisman pose?  They seem vaguely familiar,  I seem to remember seeing something like them in the teeth of Charles Woodson once upon a time...

I believe they even have a parade or something named after this flower and that there is some sort of traditionally important game which is played some time after this parade, a game in which Michigan has been known to participate.

In all seriousness, of course, that was a pretty cool animation and nicely overlaid with the ABC call of the game (I believe that was ABC anyway). Well done, OP.

Michigan sometimes plays in that Rose game you speak of? Man...I have a vague memory of something like that happening...but it's been so long I can't really remember.

I think we are going to have a really good defense this year.  Especially the back seven.  Not sure if Jabrill will win the Heisman, but maybe in another year or two.

I think if opposing defenses can be forced to respect the possibility of a run, then Gardner will get a lot more effective passing.

And if Gardner starts to put up some film passing, then a Gardner run will be deadlier than ever.

It would sort of take a very good "storm" (trying to tap the perfect storm analogy with a little wider variance here, so bear with me) to make this happen + staying healthy which is an unknown quantity in any season for any player.

But I can totally see it happening! 8-)

Loved the animation in the OP, its a magic moment in our history.  Love that we get to see him every Saturday on GameDay.

Why can I see nothing in the OP?  I am using chrome on Windows.  This seems to be happening on at least 50% of all posts including pictures, videos, etc.
