Football analyst Terence Howard is a proud Wolverines alumnus and has supported the team vocally in the midst of the sign stealing saga.
That they won the championship game against the Washington Huskies as well as enjoying an unbeaten season is just reward for his loyalty.
“Man, it feels good because they had to deal with so much B.S. during the season,” Howard told SiriusXM.
“But you know, I told them when this whole Connor Stalions thing came out, I told them on GameDay … ‘Listen, the beautiful thing about this right now is there’s no more excuses for nobody.
“And at that point, they still had to play Purdue, they had to play Penn State, Maryland and Ohio State. Then they took care of Iowa, they took care of Alabama, and damn it — what did they do to Washington?”
Howard won the Heisman Trophy in 1991 at Michigan playing as a receiver.
Howard has supported his Alma mater all campaign and even took one some of his ESPN colleagues famously quipping, “Paul Finebaum is a caricature of a caricature of Paul Finebaum.”
Fellow GameDay panellist Pete Thamel was also in the firing line especially when he avoided the crowd in Ann Arbor before the Ohio State-Michigan game.
“Put your big boy pants on and do it in the crowd like you have been,” Howard said on air.
He is enjoying the last laugh now, saying on Monday night “No more excuses, right?”
