Michigan Wolverines in the Super Bowl


Editors Note: Post was re-purposed from Thursday due to the Super Bowl being tomorrow.
Now that National Signing Day is over, I'm told there is one more football game to be played this season. Of course, the Super Bowl is on Sunday and a number of former Wolverines have interesting stories.

#1: Mike Hart, Indianapolis: My goodness what a wild ride Mike has had this year. He was out injured during his rookie season and during his second season he was on and off the practice squad and cut and resigned twice. He is now getting a few snaps a game at running back and even got his first NFL TD this year. Mike has run 26 times for 70 yards this season and has 5 catches for 54 yards. I know there has been a lot of talk about Mike being a coach and someday coaching Michigan. I am 100% comfortable about Mike being Michigan's running backs coach and working his way up the ladder. I am more interested in Mike winning the Super Bowl and getting the Championship he so deserves.

#2: Adrian Arrington, New Orleans: I was very critical of AA leaving Michigan early for the NFL. I thought his draft "stock" could have used another a year. As it turned out, I was right and Adrian was taken in the 6th round. He has yet to see the field and has lived on the practice squad for two years. He did get a chance to dress in the playoffs due to some WR's injuries. I hope AA gets a chance at playing time next year.

#3: Jonathan Goodwin, New Orleans: Was drafted by the Jets in 2002 and signed with the Saints in 2006. Jonathan is a starter at the center position and has been in all 16 games this season. JG will see the most action (of all the former Wolverines) on Sunday.

#4: Marlin Jackson, Indianapolis: Marlin is hurt this year and out for the season.

Former Michigan players or coaches include: Mike Mallory as special teams coach for the Saints and Terry Mallone who coaches the tight ends.

So there you have it, your Michigan football report for the Super Bowl. I sure hope Mike gets in for a few plays, I would love to see his stats in the record book. I have even heard you can bet on each play this year. “If there is a grand tradition in modern United States sports, it revolves around Super Bowl betting, and when it comes to that great United States pastime, there isn't a better place on the face of the earth to be than on your favorite Sportsbook. If you are looking for anything and everything to do with Super Bowl betting, we truly have it down to a science, and when the big day comes you are going to be able to go from the first play to the last and you'll have something to root for every step of the way!

First get ready for the game with future wagers on the teams and players who will make an impact. Who will win the game straight-up? Who will score first? Who will win the Super Bowl MVP? How many field goals will each team kick? How many yards will each player gain? There's almost nothing that is off-limits.

There will be Super Bowl betting on each quarter, both halves, and every conceivable statistic you can imagine. As if that isn't enough, put that television on and fasten your seat belt, because you can wager on what is going to happen on each and every play using the Internet! When you're looking for Super Bowl betting, why would you want to be anywhere else?"

So your bored that signing day is over right? Well, we have one more football game to watch until August rolls around. So go buy your new big LCD TV, root for the Michigan basketball team to find what it's missing, hopefully watch two high powered offensives on Sunday light up the scoreboard, and place your bets on the action!
