[Longtime writer Jerry Green was the honorary team captain at yesterday’s game. Bumping up this story originally posted in 2017 – congrats to Mr. Green!]
A fun sidenote from Saturday. 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.
I figured current AP writer Larry Lage might want to have it so Saturday I walked over to give it to him.
