Forrest Griffin's visit didn't help Michigan's cause today

The UFC is Detroit tonight so the UFC video crew decided to pay a visit to a Michigan football practice as the Wolverines prepped for their game against Wisconsin. The best guy to bring out to Ann Arbor was none other than Forrest Griffin. A former high school football player, Griffin fights with a gridiron mentality.

Unfortunately, his presence didn't fire up the troops enough. Michigan got bombed today 48-28 by the Badgers. There wasn't much tackling done by the boys in blue.

Rich Rodriguez gave Griffin a Michigan jersey with his old high school number 67 on it. If Griffin were a little younger, the 6-foot-3, 240-pounder could've suited up at defensive end for the Wolverines.

We don't know if Griffin was any good at football, but it's clear he liked to hit. Check out this classic video of Griffin headbutting a helmet-wearing teammate without his helmet on.
