Numbers are fun

13-4

  • The kids graduating in 2016 (born in 1998) have been alive for that won/loss record by OSU in The Game.
  • 3 of the 4 wins for scUM came before most of the class of '16 were out of kindergarten (1999,2000,2003)
4
  • That is the number of scUM SR classes to have graduated since 2007 (Bike Harts crew) without a single win vs OSU in their careers
  • If OSU wins this year...mark it 5 smokey.

Endzone tells the story of how college football's most successful, richest and respected program almost lost all three in less than a decade - and entirely of its own doing. It is a story of hubris, greed, and betrayal - a tale more suited to Wall Street than the world's top public university.
Author John U. Bacon takes you inside the offices, the board rooms and the locker rooms of the University of Michigan to see what happened, and why - with countless eye-opening, head-shaking scenes of conflict and conquest.
But Endzone is also an inspiring story of redemption and revival. When those who loved Michigan football the most recognized it was being attacked from within, they rallied to reclaim the values that made it great for over a century -- values that went deeper than dollars. The list of heroes includes players, students, lettermen, fans and faculty - and the leaders who had the courage to listen to them.
Their unprecedented uprising produced a new athletic director, and a new coach - the hottest in the land - who vindicated the fans' faith when he turned down more money and fame to return to the place he loved most: Michigan.
If you love a good story, you'll want to dive into Endzone: The Rise, Fall and Return of Michigan Football.

College football | Michigan transfer Keith Heitzman finds home at Ohio

Keith Heitzman understood that big changes were in order after Jim Harbaugh was hired to replace Brady Hoke as Michigan football coach just hours before the New Year.

What staggered Heitzman was that he might have been one of those changes. Every player going into his fifth year of eligibility, he was told, would have to audition for his job during spring practices.

“Obviously, Harbaugh coming in was going to change things at Michigan — do things his way,” said Heitzman, a tight end from Hilliard Davidson. “But I didn’t know if I wanted to try out. That definitely took me off-guard. I was bummed out.”

Heitman played in 36 games, eight as a starter. He earned varsity letters in 2012, ’13 and ’14. His team spirit was evident when he switched from defensive end to tight end after an injury forced starter Jake Butt of Pickerington North out of the lineup.

Transferring was a difficult decision because Heitzman, 22, considered himself to be “a Michigan man’’ through and through. Two other rising fifth-year players, quarterback Russell Bellomy and running back Justice Hayes, left.
