I had to share a few short clips of former Michigan football All-American Ed Muransky. This was part of “Virtual Tailgate” presentation produced by the Football Alumni of Michigan and the U-M Alumni Association held last Saturday, November 14, 2020.

Big Ed talks about the changes in football from the early 1980s to today, including the common use of “negative reinforcement” in the Bo/Woody era. Big Ed, an All-American mind you, admits that he actually feared losing his job each week.

As a freshman out of immediate sight from Bo, he downed 8 (eight!) 2-lb prime rib meals prior to the 1979 Rose Bowl. And washed those down with a pizza later that night. The record still stands.

Great work by FAM and the Alumni Association for putting this together. You can catch the entire Virtual Tailgate panel discussion here.
