I’ve always been an avid sports fan - but no sporting event, game day experience, or team in general can match my passion for Michigan football. Although I knew early on my chances of playing college football were miniscule at best (or perhaps better put, non-existent), I also always knew that I was destined to be a Wolverine. Football was my initial introduction to the Maize and Blue. When Desmond Howard won the Heisman Trophy in 1991, I was five years old – this was my first ‘Michigan hero’.

There is no comparison to being a U-M student in the Big House - football Saturday's are the epitome of the Michigan experience, and hands-down my favorite season, past-time, and aspect of being a Michigan student. I am convinced the Big House is one of the most impressive scenes in college football. Michigan football is tradition, and I am thankful to be a part of this tradition.
