The Birth of a Michigan Fan
04/09/2009
I am a father of 5 (one 14 yeard old Daughter and 3 six month old sons and a six month old daughter.....yes, quadruplets). I am the health and safety officer for a school board in Nova Scotia Canada. My uncle went to Michigan to get his PhD back in the 60's and was a huge UM fan. Went to all the home games (i didn't know this until i was 20). I was a fan of the wolverines since I first started watching college sports. Gary Moeller was the head coach then and Steve Fisher for BB.
This is a nice humorous piece you may like.

Sorry forgot about STokes.We are basically his leader right now.However,distanc is a factor with his dad and he is visiting Penn St next weekend i believe.They are the competition now.PSU lost their top 4 WR which is bad for us.But him an his dad love coach dews and loved the AA trip.AA isn't much further than happy Valley so distance may not factor that much.He is good friends with guys like Jeremy GAllon already and coach Rod also told him he would get to play outside and inside which is another plus for UM.He is the one i'm most confident about right now.Plus getting him increases our shot at landing his little bro who is a good dual-threat QB in the 2010 class.

Rich Rod and Hopson i think are making in-home vists to see Sam Montgomery on thursday along with big OG Quinton Washington also on thursday..We look to be up there with LSU and it really appears that it will come down to UM and LSU.However,Sam has possibly 4 more visits to take(some official and some unofficial).We do have an ace in the hole though.LSU and UM are about equal distance from his home which is a factor with his mom.She will move wherever he goes but our big advantage is that they have family in Michigan,and i think they are in Detroit so that is a plus for UM.We have very,very little chance with Kirkpatrick and i think Mingo isn't even considering us anymore.Hasn't been much on Hall lately but we look to be in a good position for him.But nothing is 100% there.Robinson is another situation we are in a good spot for.Him and Witty are basically a package deal and it doesn't look like UF will offer Witty due to their depth at DB so odds are good there.Their coach said we were most likely in their top 2.Haulstead looks good,however,it appears he may have off field issues so he is iffy.But there are some reports saying that FSU will back off of him because of the off field issues which may solidify him with UM.Though idk if we should go for a kid with issues like that.We are looking good down the stretch but i'm expecting a few new names to pop up in the next week,especially with the hiring of Robinson as DC.
