Latest from the socially distant MVictors History Show, a short video about the when the Little Brown Jug went missing in 1931: As always, get all of your Little Brown Jug Lore here I recently joined the great Seth Fisher along with Dr. Sap on mgoblog s The Teams podcast, this time talking (a lot!) about 1940. And especially Heisman winner Tom Harmon. And get ready for a good 45 minutes of me jabbering about the 1930s! (naturally). I encourage you to read up and listen on mgoblog here. This Saturday (9/28/2019) would have marked Tom Harmon’s 100th birthday. Here’s my salute to Michigan’s great 1940 Heisman Trophy recipient, Old 98. What better way to mark this occasion then to relive this incident during the 1940 Cal game? After deking out several Bear defenders, Harmon faces one more “Cal” man near the endzone – a pickled fan named Harold Brennan who had enough of Terrible Tommy and decided to take matters into his own hands. The story of these vintage U-M lapel pins actually starts before the founding of the Michigan Union in 1904. This fact has caused confusion when people found collections with pins that were clearly created before this date. Here’s a 1952 Michigan Daily article discussing a cool collection found at an Ann Arbor barbershop. The headline touts an “Odd Past“. The photo caption states, “The origin of the pins and their relation to the Union is a mystery.” It turns out were actually talking about two different traditions that dilberately merged. Here’s the deal. Recently I had a chance to visit the incredible personal U-M memorabilia collection at the home of Kenn Domerese. In Part I we start with a brief interview followed-up by a look at a few items from his collection. This episode includies Michigan helmets from the 1910s and 1930s, a vintage cane that once belonged to Irving Pond (the man who scored the first touchdown in U-M history), original sheet music from The Victors, a 1930s "Schedule Bot", a 1901 cloth item dedicated to Fielding H. Yost's first team, and much more: A video of my complete guest lecture at U-M course EDUC 212: The History of Intercollegiate Athletics. The topic is the career of Fielding H. Yost. In Part I we cover his early life and coaching career before Michigan, and just into his first season in Ann Arbor. Part II gets into his coaching and AD career, and legacy. Recorded at Fraser's Pub in Ann Arbor, an interview with Brian McDonald, a co-founder and co-owner of Rivalry Trophy - the maker of Big Ten replica trophies. In Part I we discussed the origins of the company, his research on the Paul Bunyan Trophy, how they solved the licensing question. In Part II we get into more of their trophies, and discuss the nature of B1G fandom in general: Had a great time joining my man Rishi Narayan on his fresh new podcast, South U Stories. I nutshelled a few fun stories involving Chicago's Amos Alonzo Stagg and Michigan's Fielding H. Yost, check it out: What started with a photo of a vintage table led us down quite a What started with a photo of a vintage table led us down quite a path to learn more - and yes, there was a lot more. From a 1970s flea market, to the 1905 football season, to a famous campus bar, to the words of a U-M glee club favorite, to a tile mosaic on the streets of Ann Arbor.. Here's the story: Friday night before The Game I was rooting through a box of Michigan memorabilia.  I found an old press pass to attend Bump Elliott's (head coach 1959-1968) football practice.   I believe I got it off eBay many years ago.  It was issued to longtime sports writer Jerry Green, who at the time worked for the Associated Press.
