Request to fans for Air Force game on 9/8/12

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

As someone whose family has a long, well-documented history in the US military, I am making a request for anyone who sees this. For the game on against the falcons on 9/8, do not boo the air force team or their fight song when they enter.

Keep in mind: these guys aren't playing football to be in the NFL someday. They're playing football because they love it, and are eventually going to serve our country.

I know this is kind of a random thing in the offseason but I was just thinking about this today because I was watching a replay of ND vs Air Force from this past season the other night. And those pricks were booing the air force team as they entered!

To me, that's really disrespectful. I'm not too sure how things went down the last time Michigan hosted a service academy (1981 vs Navy), but let's show respect for them.

Yes, of course I want Michigan to blow them out of the stadium and win the game.

Thoughts?
