I've been to Michigan Stadium

Feb 5, 2016, 8:30 AM

The 2008 game vs MSU. Javon Ringer broke off a few long TD's against Scott Shafer's terrible Deffense - yes, same Shafer that was at Syracuse.
It was RichRod's first year there and there was a ton of excitement.

The stadium bowl is deep deep into the ground. At the time they were building the new brick sides/suites that have turned it into a nice stadium, it was a craphole at the time of my visit.
It's very flat in Michigan, so they basically dug an enormous hole in the ground, poured some concrete and put seats in it.
There were 110,000+ people there ( they announced the crowd, don't remember exactly but it was around 114,000 I believe ), and it was pathetic the noise they made for the Deffense- I was not impressed.
I've been to about 30 Clemson games, and I've heard more crowd noise for FAU and SC St than they made for thier biggest rival ( ok 2nd to OSU ), anyway, what I'm getting at is that I would never ever say that they have a rabid fanbase- my wife is from a place called Flint, you may have heard of it, formerly known as Buick City, now known as Lead City. She moved down here in 2004 so no worries for her, she does still have family there, but luckily none effected by the current situation.

I've been there many times, and have never met a rabid Michigan fan..... Never. I've seen where people have been saying that lately about Michigan and had to set the record straight...
People wear their hats, they talk a little bit about football here and there but absolutely not rabid by any means.
Rashaun was held hostage to his HS coach's job, and friends that had already committed to U-M. He is missing out on a real rabid fanbase, a depth chart that would allow him to succeed, without having to play every down. He knows he made the choice that he had to make for others. He will succeed no matter where he plays, so he made a sacrifice for others. I personally think that that is the most mature and responsible thing a young man can do. In this "all about me" day and age, he did something for others. I wish him the best, and personally I like U-M and call them my second team, so if he won't wear orange atleast he's wearing the maze and blue.
