I don't know what RR's pitch was, but I know what Roundtree said.

"I think was thinking, 'West Virginia?' " Roundtree said, stringing out the end of the state's name. "I wasn't really feeling West Virginia."
Roundtree's dream school, he said, was Michigan, but the Wolverines and then-coach Lloyd Carr didn't show much attention. Wanting to guarantee a scholarship, Roundtree pledged to attend Purdue before his senior season at Trotwood began.

I think most of the sell happened while the staff was at WVU. Once he got the Michigan offer, and realized as well that he had teammates going there too, I think that's what pushed him to Ann Arbor.

Very possible. I would go there too if I were him (from a program prestige standpoint), I just wonder about his impact there (questioning rr more than roy)

VarsityBlue
Inside of UM's new home uni's...
1) M Go Blue M Go Blue M Go Blue ...
2) Those who stay will be champions ...
3) ... 2000 2003 2004 (all b10 title years)
ior details on the new Michigan uniforms:
The b10 titles reinforces Bo's theme, which won b10 titles but not bowls or NCs. Like I've said before, living up to those standards alone will not cut it for RR, making that slogan/focus ironic.

Small correction: the M Go Blue etc. etc. and the Those Who Stay tag are actually on the exterior of the hem of the uniform and will be tucked into the pants.
and no, I don't think we as college football fans obsess over stupid little details too much at all, why do you ask?

They could have save a lot of room on the shoulders by only listing the number of National Championships won since 1950: HALF!

[censored], I don't hate any of those additions.
Quick...someone post a picture of Biakabituka so as to nip this good will toward UM in the bud..... | |
