There are...
...days until Allen Jefferson (RB 1987-1990) watches Michigan take on ECU in the Big House for its season opener on September 2nd.

Go Blue!
Don't know why it keeps doubling the image, but there ALSO are...
...WEEKS until James Joseph Harbaugh (QB 1982-1986) coaches the Wolverines for his ninth season!

Double Go Blue.
Double image, double feature, double videos!
First, in honor of #28, his sophomore team (celebrating its 35th anniversary this year) battling for the Little Brown Jug at home (as the 2023 team will this upcoming fall!)...
Second, in honor of coach #4, the game in which he threw his first pass in his decorated Michigan career (celebrating its 40th anniversary) against the Purdue Boilermakers at home (as the 2023 team will this upcoming fall!)...
Thanks to the Historians (both of the Wolverine and College Football variety), and enjoy!

I had such high hopes for Johnson as a recruit. Really hope he can go out with a bang.
Thanks JWG for this series as always!
Got a rare family vacation at a national park this year. Took the kids to see a view. It was oppressively hot, lovely, tons of fun.
Ran into a guy with an LSU tshirt.
"You an LSU fan?"
"You better believe it. Went there in 06-09."
"Did you go to that LSU-Florida game? Tebow, Jacob Hester, all those 4th down conversions?"
"That was a great game. Hey, is Michigan Stadium as great as it looks?"
"Oh yes. Not as crazy or as steep as Death Valley, but wonderful. Big.
...and Michigan-Ohio State? There's nothing like it in the world."
"This is my stop. Good meeting you. Geaux Tigers."
"Take care, man. Good season coming up."
Football is coming.
Nice. Good vacation, interesting encounter, well told.
If I can borrow a phrase . . . football is coming.
P.S. Which NP? Enquiring minds are curious.
Great selection for the historic player spotlight. AJ has always been one of my favorite players. Too bad his career was limited by injuries. He was always featured in the wishbone that Bo liked to run especially on the goal line and in short yardage situations. Go Pilots! And as always, Go Blue!
