Michigan: Why?

 

1. Michigan is one of the most storied programs in college football. The program is #1 in All Time wins and #2 in All Time winning percentage.

 

2. It is a great time to become a Michigan fan. Michigan has been terrible for past 7 seasons and is at one of it's lowest points in history. The Athletic Director resigned and the Head Coach will likely be fired at the end of the season. Remember the "fresh start" feeling when the Jaguars got new management and a new head coach? That's what we have to look forward at Michigan next season. No one will ever accuse you of jumping on the Jaguars bandwagon and no one will accuse you of jumping on the Michigan bandwagon.

 

3. Michigan makes up half of one of the greatest rivalries in American sports. Michigan vs Ohio St. is a very fun thing to be a part of.

 

4. Michigan has one of the most recognizable uniforms in college sports. The winged helmet is iconic.

 



 

5. Despite being terrible for the past handful of years, Michigan has led NCAA Football in attendance every season. Fans are growing tired of the mediocrity, but are still extremely passionate.

 

6. If you're a fan of basketball, Michigan is one of the top 10 or so schools with the potential to be powers in both sports. Michigan football has been an all time top 10 program, and their basketball team has been a top 10 program over the past few seasons.

 

7. If you've made it this far, you've got enough interest to appreciate these video clips.
