ESPN’s CFB150 list of the greatest players in college football history included many great names but completely left off anyone from 1901-1933. That’s a period during which Michigan football netted 8 national championships.
I wasn’t the only one scratching his head. I called Seth Fisher (MGoBlog, Mgo-radio, Hail to the Victors, Mgo-podcast, Mgo-etc.) to chat about a snub that really got his goat: The complete omission of Adolph “Germany” Schulz, U-M great center and lineback from 1904-1908.

No worries, they have 5 years until the real 150th anniversary of CFB to get it right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1874_Harvard_vs._McGill_football_game

In my humble opinion, Willie Heston also belongs.
