I don't know why, but I can't find any mascots. It's just "Michigan team" etc.
Here is the roster in case you are interested:

These are the names I recognized off the list:
Willis Barringer - S, Michigan
James King - S, CMU
Kyle Rasmussen - G, MSU
Garret Rivas - K, Michigan
Adam Stenavich - T, Michigan
James Whitley - CB, Michigan
BTW, they are coached by Wayne Fontes' brother.

Apparently our #1 pick was spent on QB David Koral from UCLA. Eric Crouch went #3 overall.

Darnell Hood went to Tennesee as well.

That's not looking like a very good team. I haven't looked at the rosters for the other states, but I don't expect that team to be terribly competitive. I could have sworn I heard some other prominent names being mentioned on the team - though none immediately come to mind. Surely there are plenty of other players with Michigan ties that just missed the NFL and would be more competitive than this bunch.

And apparently Braylan Edwards father, Stan, is the team president.
Yippee, lets all get excited!

Actually, if you scroll through the draft you won't recognize many names (at least I didn't). I saw Chris Leak go in the 6th round (wonder why he wouldn't be a better QB than Koral, who was simply Olson's backup at UCLA). It seems like that OL might be solid and possibly the secondary, those players were decent at Michigan/MSU/etc. I don't recognize any of the skill position players though.

Also keep in mind that many of those players may be playing in the CFL Jethro. Many of these guys came from the no longer existing NFL Europe.
