THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS

It has been a looong, brutal road for a lot of us Michigan fans. In 2020 I stopped caring as much. Loses use to ruin my week,l. I watched as Henne, Hart and Long come close but still fall. I was 19 in 97 and thought this was how things were. Boy I had no idea how bad most of the 2000s would be. Especially as a Michigan fan in Ohio. That's all changed because a group of MEN decided enough was enough. Team 144 didn't just win a title, they proved us all right, that those who stay, player's or fans, will be champions. Congratulations players, coaches and us! Go Blue!

Watched '97 in the crowd at the Rose Bowl as a Michigan senior.

Watched this one from my home.

Blessed to see two in my lifetime, and both wins are so, so, so, very sweet.

Love this school, love Team 144.

National Champions!

My Fandom did not begin until after 97 . Regardless, still a special day after RR, BH, and the early years of JH. This win has galvanized the years of unmentionables.

We are similar ages. This year i stopped subscribing to 247 and On3. It feels like a long slog with the rub OSU went on.
 

I absolutely loved watching the game today! Go Michigan! So proud of the team and Jim. He comes with a lot, but no one cares when u win!!!!!

The 2020 consternation is so odd given circumstances … My advice is to go to more games and enjoy the journey … the promised land me be far away but when you make it! So awesome!

I put this on Facebook in response to a friend from Ohio who has already started the tosu crybaby chorus. It's an amateurish and grammatically incorrect job, done while in a sleep-deprived and pre-caffeinated state.

But if somebody makes a more professional version on a t-shirt, they can shut up and take my money.
