Urban Meyer, master motivator and Michigan provocateur, is at it again. With ESPN in Columbus on Monday to kick off its coverage from college camps, a conspicuously dressed blocking sled made an appearance. In probably the only blue shirt allowed anywhere near The Horseshoe on a weekday, the Buckeyes’ sled was made to look like a Michigan Wolverines jersey.

Now the $50 million question: If you’re a Michigan fan, is a blocking dummy better or worse than a fire hydrant at a dog park?

I’m going to have to go with the fire hydrant. In the real world, getting pummeled by enormous men is probably worse than having Commander Woof Woof tinkle on you. However, in terms of symbolism, having a dog take a leak on your school’s colors is up towards the top of indignities.

Follow-up question: Does Meyer allow the blocking dummy to be around during rivalry week? Normally he X’s out every “M” around the complex and may-or-may not go by “Urban

eyer.” Gut says he 86es it during the lead up to The Game. Players are allowed to pummel Michigan all year, except that one week in which they have to wait long and hard until getting the real thing. Feels like a move out of the Meyer Motivational Handbook.
