Another college football history video, this time it’s Michigan because.. well, honestly, Michigan being in the national title game should bring lots of web hitz!
Plus, this is a story that.
I'm sharing this as an informative update. Personally, I'm just passing the time before I leave for the game. I have a deep interest in statistics, which dates back to my childhood when I spent an excessive amount of time examining small 2.5" x 3.5" pieces of cardboard featuring pictures of my favorite baseball players.
Each week we hear how Corum is moving up the ranks of all time rushing TD leader, having just this week surpassed Mike Hart. He now has Anthony Thomas (55) in his sites. However, as we all know, Willie Heston had 72 rushing touchdowns, playing on Yost's teams at the turn of the century. What I do not understand is what the delimiter is.. did they reset the "record books" in 1906 when they legalized the forward pass? Did they start at the inception of a conference? Some other ambiguous date?

Any conversation with an Ohio State partisan is only going one way because who won most recently is the only truth in the world. What day is it?/December 10th./No it isn t./Look on a calendar!/Look at the scoreboard!
As much as recent history sucks, history is still so much in Michigan s favor that other college football fans argue it doesn t matter. I take issue with that, yes because my team won the first college football game and more than anyone else since and I m a biased fanboy, but also because any slicing of dates to create a modern period is a repudiation of the process of change, and the normality of more of it.
