...days until Jim Mandich (TE 1967-1969) spiritually supports some undeniable strength in leadership from the 2019 Michigan Football Team, beginning with a primetime matchup against Middle Tennessee State at The Big House.

Shoutout to last year, when there was no #88 in the countdown as the site looked like this for a couple days:

Here's to a more complete countdown this year. Go Blue!

Jim Mandich was Bo's first captain. Another captain tight end who wore #88 that should obviously be mentioned is Jake Butt!

Enjoy this beatdown of Rutgers from his Junior year, his single game receiving yard high in a winged helmet:

Thanks WD and enjoy!

Despite the problems with that O-Line, I sure did love the 2015 team. So many players I really liked on that team. Darboh, Chesson, D-Smith. That D! Wormley, Glasgow, Henry... man. A really fun team. Easy to cheer for. Thanks for sharing this.

Edit: And I'll just add that for as much shit as WD gets around here, I do appreciate that he compiles these things. Don't stop giving him shit. But in a good way.
