© 2012 flamingbuffalo.comHey!!! Michigan Got a Football Team!
27 September, 2008How good must that have looked to a recruit? Michigan becomes a team again, beats a top 10 Wisconsin team. Michael Phelps is on the sideline wearing Maize and Blue. Mike Hart is too. Chad Henne is too. Apparently Jake Long was as well. There was drama. And the stadium is under construction - showing how the stage will only get bigger.
Remember what Rodriguez said last week: "Michigan football will be back."
Well, it looks like it just might be back. That was quick.
(Yes I did wait until the game was over to post this, I also had it typed before the last Wisconsin TD... almost had to delete it!)
Addendum:
Michigan is in 1st place in the Big Ten
Addendum:
The pass smacked off the Wisconsin receiver and shot into the air, and linebacker John Thompson held out his hands, praying for the rebound. Down came the ball, a gift from the heavens, and he squeezed it tight, turned toward the end zone and, with the crowd roaring, began his rumble.
Five yards. Ten yards. He slowed, instinctively, waiting for his team to show up, the way the sold-out stadium had been waiting all afternoon, the way Michigan fans have been waiting all season, and suddenly there they were two, three, four, five, six maize-and-blue jerseys, thundering together with Thompson tucked safely in their midst, a force, a group, a unit too powerful to stop.
A Team.
...
Remember this game. Or at the very least, that play, with Thompson thundering to the end zone, swarmed by his teammates, blue on blue on blue on blue. It may be just another highlight. Or it may be something much, much more.
OK, so he's more eloquent. But still, same message.
