I am an alumni of there. While the rest of Michigan’s non-student/non-alumni fans might be howling, I bet the student body largely could care less. People there don’t really wear Michigan apparel around, and if they do, it’s usually because they’re athletes or students who don’t have as much money. It’s a weird place, and I got the impression no one really cared about the sports from my classmates. A few of my friends liked sports, but for the most part, I pretty much watched the games but never enjoyed them like I would watching Tigers, Lions or Pistons games in Detroit, where the fans genuinely get into the action, would make conversation, argue, so on and so forth.
For that reason, I’m sort of happy Michigan lost. All of UM is soul less, right down to the student body and the mercenaries they recruit for the football team. The fans are so cocky and snotty, they don’t deserve a football team they don’t appreciate.
I just didn’t feel the spirit on campus. Maybe on game day there are people who attend the game who walk around in apparel, but not during the school week!
I went to school there 4 years, I noticed that! Don’t tell me I’m wrong!
Wait wait wait, I’m talking about Ann Arbor people, not the whole state of Michigan.
