Don’t forget dad this holiday season! How about three cheers for 1940s-era product marketing that loosely suggests a direct affiliation with the University of Michigan football program? The Wolverine Blade, Rust Resisting, ALWAYS A WINNER:

Everitt’s Bandana
Awesome piece in cleveland.com on my man Steve Everitt including this pic of Bo’s visit to Key West to see the big man in 2003. (HT: @moesportshops). Slice: Everitt heard Schembechler was coming down Key West way for the World Sailfish Championship Tournament. “I asked if he wanted to come by the house figuring he’d say no,” Everitt said, laughing. “He said yes.” Amy Everitt, Michigan Class of ’93, got the camera out and started snapping pictures. Steve felt a little sheepish so he kept telling her that was enough. But now, nine years after the legendary coach’s death, Everitt says, “I wish she would’ve taken 1,000 pictures.” She stopped well short of that, but not before getting one of Schembechler in what Everitt describes as “my Michigan bathroom.” Everitt remembers one pose in particular: Schembechler sitting on a closed toilet, playing Everitt’s “KISS” pinball machine, a metal-legged survivor of Hurricane Wilma. Therein you’ll find several more reasons why EVERITT RULES. Go Blue! Follow MVictors on Twitter

Sights & Sounds – Notre Dame – Under the Lights 2
More pregame photos here. All the postgame Tom Harmon/98 related thoughts & takes here. Passionately attacking you with miscellanea since 2001, here’s more: Students: The earliest started queuing up around 10:30PM Friday evening as I understand it and they were let in around 4:30PM yesterday. Here they are filing in (on the left), and.. …props to the athletic department for dropping the 4 pack of live games (right, above) on the big boards for a while. The Ross Toss: Love for Stephen Ross and his wallet saturated Ann Arbor all day Saturday, from Desmond leading off with a huge thank you to Ross on GameDay, to the story and full page ad in the game program, to the special break during the game to acknowledge the man, to the massive sign the students propped up (some fans were literally under the C). The even dedicated the coin toss to #$teve which makes one ask, if they used a quarter for the coin toss and handed it to Ross when they were done…is it now technically a $199,999,999.75 donation? Cease and Desist. Still waiting for the bros who blew up my photo for their GameDay sign to reveal themselves and face the music. And by music I mean 7 Nation Army on a loop. Lasers. I haven’t seen lasers like that…

Photos: Michigan 12, Michigan State 10 (2012)
A few sights from Saturday pregame and postgame: So during pregame, the Spartan kickers ran over to the U-M (north) side of the field. Gibby trotted over to keep an eye on things. Dantonio took the field with a smirk as he was thoroughly abused by the tunnel taunters You can’t get the half boar, half rat hat at Moe’s (yet) Bell checking out the new fangled shiny helmets. Not a fan but they did look better on TV (and even in this photo). In person it looked like the shade of green was much lighter. Many former football greats were on hand, including Mark Messner (above) who no doubt recalled his epic battles with Michigan State’s Tony Mandarich Honoring Willis Ward on the 78th anniversary of the Georgia Tech game. Props to John U. Bacon for first writing about the story, and Brian and Buddy at Stunt3 for the wonderful Black and Blue documentary. Speaking of Brian – you can hear our live edition of This Week in Michigan Football History from Saturday right here At this point Fowler figured it was time to GTFO Lewan and Gholston smokem peace pipe after the game Elsewhere!

Michigan-Ohio State 2011 | Postgame Photos
A few from the field in the fourth quarter and the aftermath: Everitt Rules So here’s Fitz’s not-a-touchdown. When I saw it live I thought his knee was down. Watching the replay, I can’t believe they felt they had enough to overturn it but whatever. Denard’s postgame football grenade put everyone on the turf right after the final whistle. Nothing’s easy. Denard was dinged up a bit in the student section before ‘The Victors’ and had to find some space Seemed like Mike Martin didn’t want to leave the field Related: Beat Ohio Postgame (Photos) Dr. Sap’s Decals–We Beat Ohio!
