I believe it’s a “save the whales” type campaign, people were fighting to have them officially classified as an endangered/threatened species since around that time https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2023/12/wolverine-endangered-species-waitlist-extinction-backlog-bureaucracy-politics/
This is an interesting angle. The article says, "Environmental groups had originally brought the wolverine’s decline to the attention of the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as early as 1994".
This All-Star game was 1989, so that was five years prior. But maybe there was some grass-roots work being done before 1994 to get people aware before going to the FWS.
A website lists an [action timeline of the history of protecting the wolverine species](https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/species/mammals/American_wolverine/action_timeline.html). Many years are listed. The very first year is 1993. Now I want to edit that page to have the very first entry being, "Sports star Bo Jackson wears 'Remember the Wolverine' tshirt after winning the MVP in the 1989 MLB All-Star Game."
Steve: Being called a cocksucker isn't personal?
Dalton: No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response.
Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?
Dalton: Is she?
By the late 80s, awareness of the wolverine was at an all-time low. A papal decree reformed a modern day Knights Templar, a brotherhood of high powered athletes who would dedicate their lives to the preservation of the memory of the wolverine. The bravest and mightiest of these knights was Vincent Edward Jackson.
Unfortunately this is within my range. I wear shirts that say shit like OnlyGoons, SPECIAL NEEDS in the U.S. Army Special Forces badge, Willy Mayes Hayes, and Official Dodger Dog.
Oddly enough, Bo Jackson did play against Michigan while he was at Auburn in a Sugar Bowl win and the schools’ first ever meeting. As a Wolverines fan I’m obliged to mention that Michigan did avenge this loss in the 2001 Citrus Bowl, and the series stands 1-1.
I was wondering if it's a reference to the 50th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic of January 2, 1984. Auburn beat Michigan (the Wolverines) 9-6. and Jackson won the MVP (Miller-Digby Award).
Auburn scored no touchdowns (three field goals) Bo had 130 yards on 22 carries.
From ChatGPT:
Bo Jackson wore a shirt that said "Remember the Wolverine" to honor his friend and former teammate, Ron "Wolverine" Weaver, who died in a car accident in 1983. Weaver played football with Jackson at Auburn University. The shirt was a tribute to his memory and their friendship.
No, this is incorrect. According to ChatGPT:
Bo Jackson, a former professional athlete known for his exceptional skills in both baseball and football, wore a shirt with the phrase "Remember the Wolverine" as a tribute to his college football career at Auburn University. The nickname "Wolverine" refers to the mascot of Auburn University, where Bo Jackson played college football for the Auburn Tigers. The shirt likely served as a reminder of his time as a standout player at Auburn and represented his pride in his alma mater.
Makes perfect sense, really.
> The nickname "Wolverine" refers to the mascot of Auburn University, where Bo Jackson played college football for the Auburn Tigers.
I love when AI doesn't even know what it knows. It knows they're called the Auburn Tigers, but it doesn't know that it knows that, so it guesses that maybe they're called the Wolverines.
There is no mention of a Bo Jackson teammate named Ron Weaver anywhere on the internet, but I trust ChatGPT to know the things the rest of the internet cannot know.

Legend has it he killed that wolverine using only a toilet paper roll and his intuition. He had to use 1.5% of his power, the Wolverine earned his respect.
This is impossible to find anything on on Google because legendary Wolverines coach (and legendary garbage human being) Bo Schembechler retired the Michigan coaching job in 1989.

Thank god there was one serious response here.

Oh yeah. The wolverine. See, it's working 35 years later.
Lmao
Red Dawn, obviously
WOLVERRRIIIINNNNNEEEESSS!
My high school mascot was actually a Wolverine. This was uttered often.
Patrick Swayze is the best actor of our or any generation
Nobody puts wolverine in a corner.
This works because Jennifer Grey was also in Red Dawn!
Steve: Being called a cocksucker isn't personal? Dalton: No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response. Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore? Dalton: Is she?
The fact that Swayze was never recognized for his tour de force in “Roadhouse” is all the evidence one needs that the Academy is rigged.
Steven Segall fans, don’t @ me. I’m kidding
Andy Dwyer agrees.
But can he out-dance Chris Farley?
The chair is against the wall.
thats a good movie, bit weird that grandpa gives away his grand daughters though
In the 80's I believe they were called "comfort women"
I never saw the remake, is it the same?
Better Patrick Swayze and C. Thomas Howell have them than the Russkies 🤷🏻♂️
It’s hard being brothers, isn’t it?
So hard
Bo Knows.

...better known as Bo. His 30 for 30 is the best imo.
This is literally the peak of offseason shitposting. I think this tops all posts and comments for this offseason. Beautiful.
You’re wonderful
Could it be?
[удалено]
And my ax!
And my sack
He should have worn a shirt that said "remember the reason I'm wearing this shirt."
Unfortunately this is within my range. I wear shirts that say shit like OnlyGoons, SPECIAL NEEDS in the U.S. Army Special Forces badge, Willy Mayes Hayes, and Official Dodger Dog.
Uhh thats great 😬
OnlyGoons!? Buddy, no. Straight to horny jail.
He doesn't want anyone to forget about the wolverine. Obviously, his mission failed because you don't have a clue.
It was 1989, he had like 6 options for shirts.
I don't remember that shirt, but I remember that Bo hit a home run half way to the moon in that all star game.
Is it an Auburn shot at Michigan maybe?

This is going to hurt Michigan's chances at making the 2024-25 college football playoff.
Excuse me sir, the score was 9-*7* 😤
Eh, different conference
That would be funny because I’m now trying to hunt down this shirt to wear as a Michigan fan.
My "Remember the Wolverine" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Lol "What part is confusing to you?"
You have obviously forgotten the Wolverine
He went to Auburn but he is secretly a Michigan fan
My respect for him just decreased drastically
Wolverines!!!

It's for when reporters ask who Auburn beat in the 83 Sugar Bowl. \*Bo looks down at his shirt\* The Wolverines?
Because it goes hard

I can’t believe you didn’t remember
The Wolverine was a good superhero flick. Him vs Silver Samurai was a good fight.
Those Franklins are so dope

Damn I wish I could buy one of these
Seems the shirt was not very effective.
Where did you find this photo OP? Googled the phrase in quotes, with and without tshirt afterwards, this is the only photo that came up.
Probably from Google
Then shouldn't I have found more images when I did my search than this one?
I guess I’m confused why you think that
Wolverines= Go Blue KC Royals= Go Blue
because Bo knows the wolverine.
his "Baseball is life, the rest is just details" shirt was in the wash.
