<p>So, by now, many of you young'ns have realized that at Michigan, Football is not a sport...it is a religion. I hope you have already gone to a few games. The Big House is unique. 110,000 fans, great rivalries, awesome fight song and band...all to watch one of the greatest traditions in all of sport. I mean, what other program can claim the most wins, the best record, the most top 25 and top 10 seasons, the most conference titles and a winning record against programs like Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State, Nebraska, Alabama and several other major programs? </p>
<p>This season is no different. If Michigan can beat Purdue in 8 days, we should be Big 10 Champions...again. It sure gets lonely at the top eh?! hehe</p>
<p>And then, you have Hockey. Do not let our slow start fool you. Michigan's 9 National Championships are an NCAA best. And Michigan has made it to the Frozen Four of the Hockey Tournament 9 of the last 15 years!!!</p>
<p>Now just so that you better understand the tradition you have just joined, I am flying from Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) to Ann Arbor to watch the Northwestern game. I make a trip to a football game once a year...and thousands of crazy Wolverines make the same pilgrimage on a regular basis.</p>
<p>In short...it is great to be a Michigan Wolverine!!!</p>
