Via a piece in the Portland Tribune: In the bowels are meeting room, training rooms and team locker rooms. The Wolverines have separate locker rooms for the freshmen and upperclassmen, a throwback to the Bo Schembechler era. “Bo wanted the freshmen to be by themselves for a year so they could become a very tight group,” Ablauf says. “The idea was, that would benefit them by the time they’re seniors and leaders on the team. We got away from that when the renovation happened in 2010. When Coach Harbaugh came in, he re-established the separate locker rooms.” Interesting. Don’t think I’d heard that, and despite personally being in the in the bowels (including the main locker room) for media day, I don’t recall seeing a separate area. Follow MVictors on Twitter

College Football’s Centennial (1969)
The back recognizes Bo’s 1969 team highlighted by the great 24-12 victory of Ohio State. At first glance, it looks like a major screw-up as the centennial of Michigan football would be in 1979, a decade later (when they would really screw things up.)
