• Beneath the Big House

    Last night I attended a fundraiser benefitting Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor, held in the stadium at the Jack Roth Stadium Club.   The event included tours of the field and inside the stadium locker room.  A few observations: More evidence that the The Legends program is going away—the Legends lockers used to look like this:   Last night the engraved Legends patches were gone from the back of the lockers: There are also a few new displays up closer to the entrance of the locker room that are pretty nicely done.  I don’t recall seeing these before.   First, a very conspicuous tribute to Tom Brady:   Further down the hall several great moments in Michigan football history are immortalized: Along with the ones you can see (OSU 1997, OSU 1969, #BraylonFest, Desmond Heisman pose), they also have 1979 Indiana (Ufer/Carter), and 1985 Harbaugh to Kolesar, and a couple others (Ron Kramer?).   Follow MVictors on Twitter

  • Woodson Here and There (and Heisman Pose Photo)

    Here: ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Charles Woodson wants to be known as more than a football player. Donating $2 million to the new University of Michigan Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital gives him a chance to do that. The school announced Woodson’s gift on Thanksgiving before he played for the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions. The money will support pediatric research by The Charles Woodson Clinical Research Fund in the $754-million, 1.1-million square foot hospital scheduled to open in 2012. And there: @MVictors  Woodson: 1 TD, 2 INT, 7 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 1 sack, 1 Heisman Pose, whilst covering Calvin Johnson- 2 catches, 10 yards * Follow MVictors on Twitter
