2019 Michigan Season Thread

[ELA]

Here's the site, and it has the years of each logo.
http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/750/Michigan_Wolverines/



I thought the block M with "Michigan" across it was a major logo, too, but I was told by UM people here the yellow block M has always meant 'Michigan'.  What I'm doing is trying to use the various logos through the years used by schools, as my team cards go back to 1971.  So I use the big red N for Nebraska until the mid-90s, where it's the red N with black "Huskers" across it.  I use the elephant through the A until a certain year for Alabama until it changed to the fancy A within a circle as it is now, etc. 



I guess my question is that if I was a Michigan fan and bought this game with my beloved 1973 Michigan team set in it, would I prefer the yellow block M or the one with the wolverine on it?  Which would seem more correct?

The plain Block M has always been a logo, but I'd argue it wasn't the primary logo until the last decade or so.  Before that the MICHIGAN inside the box was clearly the primary logo.  Just for simple form it wasn't necessarily used on hats or what not.  But I do believe the Wolverine was at least co-primary through the 80s and early 90s.

I won't fight any of that.

Okay, well I looked up some old games from the 80s, and see the M with 'Michigan' across it as the logo used by the TV broadcasts, so I'll change it to that.
'78-'96 will have the Michigan in front, and the yellow block M from '96-on.

I'll leave the wolverine pre-'78.

Well that's pretty hamhanded and stupid. How long until we get the ubiquitous "I was hacked?"

Actually seems like it was just straight up made up, and the screen grab was a fake

Well that's less unspeakably lame! My team's QB doesn't actually use/need a burner acct to settle lowest common denominator sports beefs online.

Patterson is way too classy and smart- obvious fake.  He is a good kid and will be a beast this year.

I guess I've become jaded. Not sure of what, social media I guess or maybe still of off seasons from a few years back. Anyhow: it seemed plausible to me.

I see what your doing. Very good.

Michigan's roster on the official website is getting slowly updated today. We still don't know the new RT, but either way the OL will be big and experienced (returning starters in black). Michigan's OL coach (Warriner) is being described -- from interviews -- as far more smiley than this time last summer:

MICHIGAN
6'5" - 321    Runyan
6'5" - 325    Bredeson
6'4" - 319    Ruiz
6'3" - 350    Onwenu
6'7" - 334    Steuber
6'4.8" - 329.8    AVG


Orrrrrrrr...

MICHIGAN
6'5" - 321    Runyan
6'5" - 325    Bredeson
6'4" - 319    Ruiz
6'3" - 350    Onwenu
6'5" - 319    Mayfield
6'4.5" - 326.8    AVG



Fans are hoping/expecting Mayfield. He's younger, was a bigger recruit and may have the group's best foot speed/balance. He and Stueber are going into camp tied. I'm not sure I have a rooting interest (except, if it's a tie, for it to go to the young guy). Mostly, I'm just excited by the starters as well as by the fact that for the first time since ... maybe 2000 (with Backus, Hutchinson, Brandt, Goodwin, Williams) Michigan has both an excellent starting line and what looks like excellent position-for-position depth behind them.

It feels great to have turned that corner (starting *and* back-up quality on the offensive line). Perhaps no positional kind of highest end play changes a teams destiny as positively as it can when that highest end play comes from the OL.

Aint drinking that OL Kool Aid.
