[Ed. This Saturday the 1964 B1G and Rose Bowl championship team celebrates their 55th anniversary. Back in 2014 I spent a few hours with the great captain on that squad, Jim Conley. The full version of this story also appeared in mgoblog’s wonderful annual Hail To The Victors mag. Go Blue!]
“You’ve got to remember, we were a bunch of losers.”
That’s how 1964 Michigan team captain Jim Conley labeled his team before summer training camp.
