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. Also appreciate our opponent, bunch of good football players out there that played very hard. And that was a classic rivalry game. But most important thank you goes to our senior class. Most selfless group I’ve ever been around. 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. And I had a bad feeling early in the week when I saw his knee. It was a bursa?? it’s not a structural issue, it’s just the swelling we couldn’t get out. And my man was in the training room early in the morning until late at night doing everything they could. When they de?q’d him, it was like a possessed group on defense. I know why. Because our brother was down and we presented him…

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.

High Street Blues (1982 Michigan Daily arrests, Part II)
If you haven’t, take a look at the first post on the events & aftermath of the 1982 jailing of then-Michigan Daily editor Bob ‘Wojo’ Wojnowski and photographer Brian Masck in Columbus, the night before The Game that season. Bob’s 1983 opinion piece on all of this is one for the books. You may have heard Wojo comment recall that night over the years, but I’m not sure how many people have heard from Masck—the guy who first stepped in to question (and photograph) the police before he was arrested. Recently we swapped a few emails about those events and he shared some great stuff. Other than to ask him about any lingering memories or collateral, I was generally curious why he had a camera with him after 1 AM on High Street the night before the game. Of course you couldn’t fit a decent camera in your pocket in 1982. “I learned as a freshman that it was important to have a camera ready to shoot because, on April 18, 1981, I was the only photographer to capture the arrest of student/gunman Leo Kelly being led to a squad car in front of my dorm, Bursley Hall,” Masck shared via email. “Kelly was convicted in the murder of students Edward Siwik and Douglas McGreaham. The photograph was published around…
