• Urban Meyer Postgame Presser

    via asap Sports COACH MEYER:  Thank you for being here.  And I want to thank a few people, most importantly I want to thank Buckeye Nation, and from the Skull Session to the stadium, I just don’t want that to go unappreciated.

Guys that?? the indicators are things like Zach Boren moving over, Sabino breaking his leg, having a variety of different options how to get it done.  The option was to get back as soon as possible.  Played with a plate in his leg.  And then John Simon, our heart and soul of who we are as the 2012 football team, it’s John Simon.

  • TWIMFbH: Beat Chicago (1898)

    Stub via ticketmuseum.com and Ken Magee of Ann Arbor Sports Memorabilia This week we go back to Thanksgiving Day, 1898 as Michigan head coach Gustave Ferbert and his undefeated Wolverines traveled to Chicago to face Amos Alonzo Stagg and his powerful University of Chicago Maroons. While rarely discussed these days, the game is without a doubt one of the most notable match-ups in Wolverine lore. While today’s our undisputed rival is clearly The Buckeyes, back in 1898, the coach and the team that really got maize and blue blood boiling was Stagg and his Chicago teams.   Have a listen: [display_podcast] You can catch all of the This Week in Michigan Football History clips here.   Listen to it live tomorrow on the KeyBank Countdown to kick-off on WTKA 1050AM.
