Fan Day pictures, atmosphere and something special
An assortment of pictures*** from Media (or Fan) Day. It was a fun day and well run by the University (not to mention the weather was perfect). Lines moved fairly quickly and the free games and snacks were a great touch for the children tired of standing in lines.
It was just a great family atmosphere. Parents were playing catch with their children. Kids were playing with kids they just met. And I noticed a few players' parents walking around. Brandon Graham had probably 20 family members there with his Dad wearing a #55 jersey saying "Proud M Dad". It was just a great day and I know my family had a great time and will be back next year.
*** Proud father moment, picture #22 is of my son playing catch.

Pictures are some of the best from fan day. Thanks.
Also, congrats on raising your son "the right way" for the blue. My first is one the way the weekend of the Indiana game and he/she will be going to fan days in the future.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who immediately translated due date into Michigan football match ups. My first is on the way for the Penn State game, hopefully not during...

Is that Carlos Brown or Seal in pic 28?

This might sound bad but I knew BooBoo was black but man, he IS black. Especially next to Coner.

Hey, just being observant. No racism!

The only problem I had during Fan Day was that I was in the QB line and was like three people away from getting signatures before they made the boys leave. I went inside the fieldhouse, disappointed, when Brandon Minor appeared and gave me an autograph. I asked him if he was going to rush for 1000 yards this season and he said yes.
August 24th, 2009 at 9:07 PM ^
Minor seems like a cool guy off the field. He just seems pretty humbled and quiet from interviews. Good to hear he did that.

I have seen it
August 25th, 2009 at 12:56 AM ^
I got him to sign my #4 jersey. I asked if he would be willing to and he said he would *LOVE* to. He acted very excited about it. He seemed like a great guy.

hanging out around Fan Day. Was there other recruits there or were they just hanging out? They were very nice and gracious, signed my son's football and took a couple pics.

link works, thats an awesome pic - be sure to get a print & frame it up for his room. and teach him he'll catch more with his eyes open than with em closed!
