the Wolverines

How honored are we Michigan football fans!

This is one of the oldest and most storied football programs in all the world. Our very proud university has been playing the game continuously for longer than anyone: 130 years. For those who have followed it in recent generations, there have been so many successes that we can scarce remember them, and we choose to forget the bitter disappointments.

Our stadium is legendary, our helmets are unequalled, our band is famous, and our fight song is recognized in all the world. Our brave sons have gone on to fame and fortune. There have been so many famous highlights, so many tremendous victories, so many happy Saturdays. And, now we, the Wolverines, have lived to see another such historic moment.

This has been the worst season in Michigan football history, a season of superlative failures; probably it will never be equalled. This has been a year to tell the kids about. And, WE WERE THERE!
