I just hope that when I die there’s a picture this sweet of me to put in the papers. With that being said it's still been a sad few day as Michigan fans have mourned the death of Wolverine legend Tractor Traylor. To most of us he will be remembered as a dominating big man with an even bigger smile. But you also can't ignore his slightly tumultuious and misunderstood personal life which came to light when he infamously rolled a Ford Explorer allegedly belonging to Maurice Taylor. Not only did it trigger the investigation that revealed Ed Martin's financial involvement with numerous players but it made Michigan a place that star recruits would'nt touch with their ten foot dick from Flint. Most notably Mateen Cleaves who was in the car on a recruiting trip when it rolled. Enter Tom Izzo dynasty.
But even with his many imperfections, Traylor just had too much of the loveable fat kid in him to dislike and will always be celebrated in Ann Arbor because of unbelievably memorable moments like this.
