Introducing You to the 2008 Michigan Wolverines

One of my favorite things about going to games was those free programs they hand to everyone just outside the gates. Those things helped out a lot the past five seasons, especially when a new player stepped out on the field and I didn't know their number.

I live in Chicago now and won't be attending many games (I hope to at least make one, either the Wisconsin or MSU game) and those programs won't be in my grasp.

With all the new additions and watching on TV, it'll be hard to know who's who on the field so here's a guide to what numbers match what players.

Here's a depth chart that hopefully isn't too far off the beaten path.

QB-#8 Nick Sheridan, #10 Steven Threet, #3 Justin Feagin

Hope this helps anyone wondering who #22 is when he lines up wide right or when #33 returns a pick 80 yards for a score. Hey who's #42 laying running backs out? Or who's wearing Mike Hart's old number?

There are a lot of new faces on this team, so get to know them by Saturday and by Sunday they should be household names.
