The Fab Five Screening (Notes, Photos, Etc.)
A big thanks to my friends at Moe’s/Underground Printing. This afternoon I joined a couple hundred folks to catch a pre-screening of ESPN’s Fab Five documentary. Good news/bad news/good news: it was scheduled right during the Ohio State game today. (Jalen arranged for a TV during the reception so folks could catch the last few minutes of the game—no one really bothered...

It has been amazing to witness the young guys, especially Morgan, Hardaway & Morris, maturing and improving since the start of the season. It’s tangible progress before our eyes so hats off to the entire coaching staff and of course the team.

eBay Watch: Bo Enjoys Beating Spartans (1974)
I love this wire photo of Bo that popped up on eBay recently. A photog caught Schembechler in final few minutes of the 1974 game against Michigan State.
Bo is hunched down and he appears to crank out a slight grin as he gazes up at the stadium clock. Love it:
Let’s hope we get a similar grin from Coach Beilein at Crisler this afternoon.

Check out this shot of President Ford at a Portland, Oregon charity event from the eBay auction this week:
It was a fundraiser held at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and Ford donated the autographed ball and even hiked it to the winner, Mr. Ambrose Cronin, who forked over $2,700 for the righteous pigskin.

Let Him Pass
I just returned from a nice vacation in much warmer climates. On the way home from DTW (after enduring a power outage that locked me and many others inside the airport parking structure for 45 minutes—yes, they held us hostage while they figured out how to charge us for parking given cc’s wouldn’t process) I caught the end of the excellent Minnesota hoops game on WTKA...

Viva Michigan Helmet Stickers!?
Near the end of Wojo’s extensive Q&A with Coach Hoke was this exchange:
Q. Many fans crave a return to old Michigan ways. You’ve talked about being tough in the trenches, having a pounding defense. What about the little traditions, like helmet stickers again?
A. I don’t know about the helmet stickers yet. I’m gonna get some counsel from ex-players, from coach...

Rich Rod Didn’t make it to Zihuatanejo (Cowherd audio 02-09)
Rich Rodriguez joined Colin Cowherd this afternoon and talked about a few NFL draft prospects in the Big Ten.
I pick up the audio where he’s discussing Steve Schilling (and he mentioned Perry Dorrestein). Then Cowherd asks about the final days at Michigan which he likens it to Shawshank – he tunneled through the foul crap/drama, but didn’t make it to the good stuff...

Michael Taylor Wants His Cornflakes (WTKA audio)
Turns out the WTKA afternoon show on Thursday was just as exciting as the morning show. Michael Taylor dialed up Jeff DeFran and went off on a spittle-filled rant, furious about the hiring of Curt Mallory over Taylor’s preference Corwin Brown. Clip:

The Duck Bribe of 1960
I stubbed my toe on this interesting nugget of Michigan football history recently. It turns out that there was a foiled attempt by wiseguys to bribe an Oregon player prior to game against the Wolverines in the 1960 season opener.
The failed fixing attempt was revealed to the media after the Wolverines’ 21-0 victory over the Ducks on September 24, 1960.
