Your definition is different than the commonly accepted one: a graduate or former student, especially male, of a particular school, college, or university.

But you are entitled to define things the way you want. You are a dog with typing skills for Pete's sake.

I just copied and pasted the first Google defintion I found. But I think female alumni get the alumnae treatment like he poster below said. It's a Latin thing, which is Greek to me.

It's just not necessary to be so literal with the word, I think we all knew the question was Michigan-linked as opposed to a degree holder. Mac's CU teams and players link him to Bo and MICHIGAN and hold out his time under Bo to be meaningful. Miles has got to be the most successful, aside from Harbaugh.

I think it says a lot about Bo that he has in his coaching tree three national championship-winning coaches (Miles, Bill McCartney, Lloyd Carr), a fourth who won a 1-AA national championship (Jack Harbaugh), two more who came extremely close to winning national championships (Larry Smith, Don Nehlen), and a former player-turned-coach who came within inches of winning a Super Bowl (Jim Harbaugh). That's gotta be one of the most impressive coaching trees in all of football.

Les Miles is a far better coach than Rich Rod and Brady Hoke. I would have taken him easily over those two. Harbaugh is on a different level, and I'm thrilled we have him. I guess I'm sour about how UM worshipped an average Lloyd Carr and actually listened to him when hiring-Carr set UM back about 15 years. Harbaugh is, and will, be what UM has needed in a coach and a coach that will actually bring UM back to prominence. Carr...he has been nothing but disappointing since about 2001.
