Tough one. Obviously Schembechler as who was probably Uncle Fester in the original. Looks like Rodriguez as Gomez. Mike Hart is Pugsley, and it looks like Ted Kaczynski (The Unabomber) is Lurch (he went to grad school at UM). Mili hit Grandmama (no, not that way, at least I don't think so). I'm thinking maybe Henne is Wednesday just based on the chin, but it doesn't look all that much like him. Morticia's the tough one, and I'm drawing a blank there. If it's something out of left field, like Kaczynski, I'll probably never come up with it. Can we get a hint on that one, or is it a lot easier than it's seeming to me?
edit: Is Barwis, aka The Ultimate Warrior, Morticia? |

Man, I need work on my sarcasm font. Thanks for adding the name. A JUCO or DIV-II transfer should be better than a freshman walk on. It's a basketball solution to bring in a verteran point guard to help run an offense. I am just relishing in the fact that tSUN is so low that this option makes sense. Besides, I just love saying Appalachian State and Michigan in the same sentance. It makes me smile  |
Who in the QB derby is a freshman walk-on? I assume you're referring to Sheridan, the former walk-on, who is a redshirt junior. Cone, Threet, and (come fall) Feagin are on scholarship as well.
The problem with your basketball analogy is that you can improvise in basketball, reset plays on the fly, you have 35 seconds to figure something out, and you don't have four 280-pound behemoths coming at you with bad intentions. Frankly I don't think it makes any sense at all.
For those waiting to hear the results of the AAN smashjob:
NCAA: No penalties for Michigan

The fact that Michigan may have to settle for a former walk-on as its starting QB is funny in itself.
Didn't think there would be.

Seriously, why do you give a [censored] about The Game? Because year in and year out it brings two of the best programs in all of college football together. Year in and year out it decides who goes where for a bowl game, year in and year out it produces the Big 10 champion. even when, like this year, that champion is not on the field. Often a great performance in the game produces a Heisman Trophy. If either team goes on a prolonged drought you can kiss good-by to The Game being carried nationally, pre- game hype about the last tackle and who dot's the eye, half-time stories about Bo and Woody, people painting their faces maize and blue or donning scarlet and gray wigs.
Like it or not, you're only as good as your schedule and your schedule is only as good as your conference. You want your last game of the year to be meaningful. (and think about how much space we give on this site to fretting about SEC teams that don't leave the South, the entire ACC, the Big Least and Snow White and the 11 dwarfs on the West Coast)
And then think about this: the 10 and 1 Buckeyes travel to Ann Arbor to play 1 and 10 Michigan on a sloppy field, with the Buckeye QB unable to throw (hell, even staying on his feet is a challenge) they win 14 to 9. If you think that team gets into the BCS Chapionship game you're crazy.

they will if the six teams in front of them lose.

Well done... I wasn't sure anybody would get the Unabomber. Greenies to you for that...
Yes, Morticia's a tough one. But it's not out of "left" field, per se, but more out of [hint] "right" field. Another infamous TSUN grad that gets ripped on here at BP, except it's usually over at the poli board.
