Around SBN: Reflections on the Best Blazers Month In Forever Bar-right-arrows



The leaders and the best...

Lloyd Carr was the Michigan coach I grew up watching. Tom Brady, Drew Henson, John Navarre, Chad Henne, and now with an unfamiliar face at the helm, Nick Sheridan or Steven Threet. Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson, Mario Manningham, Adrian Arrington, and now Gary Matthews, Jr. Despite what has gone on throughout the early stages of my life, Saturdays in the fall mean Michigan football. And now, Mr. Rodriguez will take over. I was skeptical after the #1 uniform fiasco, but he made a mistake and admitted it. He learned, and will continue to. Now though, like the 1969 Michigan Wolverines, Rich has to make a team out of an underdog. A team that can win. Those Who Stay Will Be Champions; they were for Bo, they were for Lloyd, and now, it's up to Rich. I am in high school right now, and I am in the process of working my ass off so I can go to Michigan, and spend four years in Ann Arbor. There's a new coach, a new look and a new style of play, but believe this; Michigan will always be the program every other university in the country wants to be. Sure, there has only been one national championship in my lifetime, but there has been no scandals, no arrests, nothing. That's what makes a Michigan man. Hopefully one day, I'll get to skate at Yost Arena, or storm the field at Ray Fisher Stadium, but if that isn’t the case, I could at least get be a Michigan man, and carry Michigan morals for the rest of my life. And no one could ever take that away from me.

Great stuff, Tony. We'll be pulling for you.

Like you said, work your butt off! Carrying the values and morals of a man like Carr will take you a long way, and we’re all confident one of those places will be Michigan. Good Luck!
