The Serial Streaker

Nothing makes my day better than some news about Michigan Football. All it would take to make my day is to come home and find out that we got Victor Harris, or that Jim Herrmann and Mike Gittleson fought each other to the death over the meaning of the word stupendous. So yes i did get news yesterday, and while it wasn't as good as either of those two, the unintentional comedy is about as legendary as it's ever going to get. Just imagine if you rooted for a team and read in the news that one of the players got arrested for serial streaking. By streaking i mean walking up to a girl next to her window, and removing all the clothes from your 6'2'' 300 pound body. That's Larry Harrison for you. 1/15 of him at least. What inspires such a man (or at least one that police say looks exactly like him) to expose himself to 15 different women? I don't know why any man would think to do this more than once, but i certainly understand why Lloyd had to suspend him immediately. Harrison obviously has some sort of problem, considering that reports of the Ann Arbor Serial Streaker (A.S.S.) have been ongoing, which would have caused any rational streaker to stop. Regardless, it's doubtful he will be playing the Rose Bowl now. So you've got to be wondering, considering i hate Marlin and Curry partly for their off-field transgressions, how mad am I at Larry Harrison?
To be honest, I'm not angry at all. This is the funniest story i have heard in years. Imagine if a 300 pound defensive lineman walked up to you, ripped off all his clothes, just gave an idiot grin like Yogi Bear, and ran off into the darkness. I would probably have temporary vision loss, but I'd still be laughing. It's like if David Baas came out of the closet; you'd be a little disturbed (not as much as Henne having his hands on those cheeks every play), but i guarantee you wouldn't stop laughing. That's what we have with the immortal Larry Harrison. I'm not angry, because he has a problem, and he gave all of us the highest of high comedy among college athletes. For those of you that don't remember, this is only the best thing since Najeh Davenport snuck into a girl's dorm at Miami.....no he didn't touch the girl, he just managed to wallow around drunk in the middle of the night, drop a deuce in her laundry hamper (read that again), and leave like nothing happened. Something makes me think i might rather just be taken advantage of.

Would you rather be gang-tackled by a serial streaker or run after a guy that unloaded into a woman's laundry hamper?


Basically Harrison doesn't get to play in the Rose Bowl, so what's the defense to do? I think they won't miss him a bit, because now they can finally let Alan Branch play and dominate like he was meant to. But they should still bring Harrison. I doubt Vince Young would try running at a 300 pound serial streaker. And while my favorite sports team has always been the Boston Celtics, I think it's time to anoint a new Larry Legend.

Larry Legend has a successor.... on the Michigan D-line
