I was beginning to wonder if that sailed wide right of the goalposts.

Dude, what a kick-ass year to be a freshman. We demand stories of the 1978-1979 championship season. Well, I demand stories.

Well, there was the 4-game skid and Magic rolling his ankle in the OSU (I think) game and going to the locker-room in the 2nd half and returning.

In Jenison of course the players walked along under the bleachers to go to or return from the lockers and as he returned the people who saw him started cheering until as he came back to the bench the whole place was cheering.

Volley ball has already been moved. Personally I like keeping Jenison viable. Such a great old building. I actually take a walk through a couple times a year and reminisce. I can almost see Magic and Skiles. And hear the crowd. Never have 10004 people been louder.

4 game skid on the road.  Road losses to Illinois, Purdue, UM, and Northwestern (blow out) were split by home wins over Indiana and Iowa.  4-4 in the Big Ten to start the season.

Magic hurt his ankle vs. OSU on a Thursday, came back, and MSU won in OT.  He sat out a Saturday win over Northwestern, but played on Sunday in a win over preseason #5 Kansas at Jenison.  

Went in the same training room when I sprained my ankle playing IM hoops.  Did not come back for the 2nd half.

That was before they expanded the NCAA and the fear was a 5th loss and MSU was out of the running.

Seventy-one days before firing Mark Rosen, Michigan athletics director Warde Manuel signed the veteran volleyball coach to a five-year extension...

But Rosen’s firing on Dec. 20, 2022 went back on that commitment. So far, no reason for that firing is publicly available. In the same FOIA request, the University’s FOIA office told The Daily that no termination letter for Rosen exists.

Offering a letter of termination is standard practice for terminating an employee with cause — especially a coach of 24 years at one of the biggest athletic programs in the NCAA. Manuel’s original statement also fails to give a specific reason for Rosen’s firing.

“Following a thorough review of the program, I have decided that Mark Rosen will not return as our volleyball coach,” Manuel said in the statement when Rosen’s firing was announced. “I want to thank Mark for his 24 years of dedication to the program and to his student-athletes. I wish him success in the future.”

As a junior at Dearborn Heights Robichaud, Wheatley became the first to win four individual events at an MHSAA Finals, finishing first in the long jump, 100 and 200-meter dashes and 110-meter hurdles at the 1990 Lower Peninsula Class B meet.  

he was the state champion in 4 events as a junior.  

okay.. let's get back to bashing UM and the blue wall.

LP meet. Mix in the UP track and field teams, which practice by running from actual bears and wolves, and he wins nothing.

Sort of wonder how his times compared to the 1990 Lower Peninsula Class A meet.

Have you tried looking on the Internet for those times?

Don't wonder all that much, just pointing out that Class B competition is not all that.

DWags wrote:I think Charles rogers and TH Ducket still hold state records in two events. The track stuff was brought up about Tyrone Wheatley, because the Free Press writer said he was the greatest athlete ever in Michigan. While I would disagree with that headline, he was a very good athlete.

Gibson, Rick Leach, Brad, van pelt, TJ, Charles, Rogers, Andre Rison, and a ton more than I am forgetting certainly have a claim to the state best athlete ever.

Can you imagine if Izzo acted like this after saying he was done with the NBA, or if Mel Tucker took another meeting with an NFL team right after saying he was fully committed to MSU? He would be skewered. If anybody ever doubted the Blue Wall, the past few months have proven it is a very real thing.
