• Tom Harmon vs. Ohio State (Bentley)

    Terrible Tommy Nabs His Heisman | This Week in Michigan Football History

    This Week In Michigan Football History, as played during the WTKA 1050AM 'Countdown to Kickoff' held November 28, 2020 before the Michigan-Penn State game. Michigan has three Heisman Trophy Winners (Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson). We consider former Michigan players that probably WOULD have won the Heisman has it been awarded prior to 1935 - including Willie Heston, Bennie Oosterbaan, and Harry Newman. And finally we look at Tom Harmon's brilliant career and in particular the 1940 season, concluding with his dominant performance against Ohio State.

  • Talking a lot about 1940

    I recently joined the great Seth Fisher along with Dr. Sap on mgoblog’s The Teams podcast, this time talking (a lot!) about 1940. And especially Heisman winner Tom Harmon. And get ready for a good 45 minutes of me jabbering about the 1930s! (naturally). I encourage you to read up and listen on mgoblog here.
