Orson,
Where do you even find pictures like the one shown above? (minus the wolverine, of course)

If this is some sort of allegory for the introduction of RICHROD!!!!‘s spread offense (and with the bare skull and blood, how could it not be?)—it’s at a Shakespeareanely brilliant level.
If not, the skull just reminds me of Skip Bayless.

This picture just goes to show that it is a Michigan AD tradition of missing out on coaching searches because they are out sailing.
Sailboats, the real reason Michigan never had many coaching changes.

Wolverines make great pets. Just ask Jim Tressel.

Ahhhh!!! The Wolverine!!! My bosom childhood companion!
I oft took him to the general-store to scare the wits out of the dastardly Mr Tin and his boyservant Paterno. I always wondered what happened to that idle whippeersnapper. Probably wound up going to some foppish Ivy League college and teaching the Cro-Magnon practice of foot-ball somewher in the wilds of Penn-sylvania.

I’m with Buttcut McGhee there on the left. When there are wondering wolverines about, ‘tis best to defensively cover one’s junk. Though I am not certain that a jaunty cap such as his will suffice for that purpose.

After that movie, I kinda wished during AP History, the Russians would parachute in and shoot our teacher, then pass out the finest Russian Vodka, then leave.
