Bill Dufek – OT, 1974-78
Jim Betts – S, 1968-1970

Per the Facebook page “Former Players Flag Football Game: Prior to the final practice, former Michigan football greats will participate in a flag football game. Gary Moeller will coach the maize squad and Jerry Hanlon will coach the blue team. The one-hour alumni game will begin with player introductions at 10 a.m.”
Early line: Leach’s squad –2.5 (assume he’ll be with Hanlon on the Blue)

Ricky Leach is gonna be there??? In my best Eric Cartman voice… SWEEEEEEEEEETTT! Back when Ali Haji-Sheikh kicked, they were allowed to use a tee and the uprights were 4 feet wider too.
I haven’t been a big RR fan thus far but perhaps his effort to get the community more involved/exposed/insert adjective here with Michigan football is starting to win me over — a bit.

Holy cow… A-train is gonna be there (per RR’s facebook page)
GO Blue!!!
