Vern Troyer (sic?) is a Michigan fan. I too am a Michigan fan although I don't know if being a celebrity in your own mind counts
February 7th, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
I think you meant "(sp?)"
Sic is Latin for "as such." It's used when quoting someone who used an incorrect or archaic spelling of a word.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
I always thought sic was spelling incorrect. Thanks jm, I learned something today. Guess I should of studied harder in school.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
Yes you should of.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
he should HAVE... and you should have as well...
February 7th, 2010 at 11:43 PM ^
That made me lol, you deserve many +1's my friend.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
No one thinks he is joking here?
February 8th, 2010 at 1:18 AM ^
Yes, thank you, I clearly was. Unless I'm getting negged for being a grammar nazi.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:02 PM ^
remember him and Lloyd became friends a few years ago.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:02 PM ^
Alex Rodriguez, no?
And Michael Phelps.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:26 PM ^
ARod is a fan of the University of Miami... IIRC, he donated money to build their new baseball stadium.
EDIT: I didn't neg you.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:11 PM ^
Damnit, I was thinking of Jeter. I hate baseball so much.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:03 PM ^
Derek Jeter.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
Derek Jeter -- a Michigan student for a semester IIRC before the Yankees called. Also a proud Kalamazoo Central Maroon Giant.
February 8th, 2010 at 1:20 AM ^
I hadn't realized that he had ever enrolled, but you are correct, he attended for a semester before leaving for the minors: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/features/jeter/timeline/
In another article, he talks about attending every football and basketball game (when the fab 5 were sophomores) that fall; no wonder he's a huge fan!
PS: Yay Kalamazoo!
February 8th, 2010 at 12:32 AM ^
He was a friend of mine's roommate for that semester. Then Mikey got the room to himself for the rest of the year. :-)
February 8th, 2010 at 8:15 PM ^
I remember reading an article about how Jeter cried when CWebb called that "timeout"
February 7th, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
I think Felicity Huffman of all people has been seen sporting Michigan gear.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
...you'll never be one in anyone else's.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
Sanjay Gupta from CNN fame. Oh yeah, and Alum!
February 19th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
Fun fact: Sanjay was an RA at Couzens. We were on the same Res Hall staff.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:12 PM ^
Because then you could count all our celebrity alums. James Earl Jones and the like. (Personal favorite? Lucy Liu).
I keep seeing pics of Leonardo DiCaprio with an M hat on. But he may just like the colors.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
Ss he says, "my wrist blue and yellow like Michigan"
It's only yellow because there is no such thing as maize diamonds.
February 22nd, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
That doesn't make him a Michigan "fan" because he knows what our colors are. He's a sports fan. Wale says he "protects Hart like Michigan's line" in song. He also raps about Ernest Wilford of the Jaguars and nobody accuses him of being a huge Jags fan (he's a DC guy). Both of these guys are huge sports fans -- you'll see them on First Take -- not Michigan fans, despite name drops in songs.
On the other hand, I saw Luke Walton and Richard Jefferson at the Michigan @ Notre Dame Football Game in Denard's Sophomore year, sitting in the Michigan section. I think they have some sort of connection. Shane Battier is married into a prominent Michigan family and I've seen him around Ann Arbor a few times. He's a Dukie obviously, but I think may be a M football fan.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:15 PM ^
of "60 Minutes" went to Michigan I believe. He's DEFINITELY a "down in front" kinda guy.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
False - I sat next to him at a football game when I was in high school. A former regent had given me his tickets, and Mike Wallace was two seats away. He was totally cool.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:40 PM ^
Mike Wallace I owe you a Ensure.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:27 AM ^
And he talked shit about buckeyes during that HBO special.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:53 AM ^
is just kicking it.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:17 PM ^
are Michigan fans. They opened with Hail to the Victors when they played a concert in Columbus once. Ballsey and awesome.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:37 PM ^
Is that all the RHCP or just Anthony Kiedis? I know he's from Grand Rapids
February 7th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
...because of him. They vacation on Lake Michigan a lot during the summer.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:41 PM ^
I think he went to Lahser.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:44 PM ^
There's that too. The RHCP are pretty much awesome in every way.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:55 AM ^
I know AK and Flee used to hop some river down by Lowell, just east of Forest Hills. I remember seeing that on some interview, they would jump of the rail tracks.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:14 PM ^
The Flat River?
February 7th, 2010 at 11:17 PM ^
I like to imagine that Jenna Jameson is a huge Michigan fan.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
for the right price.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
I remember reading an article about Rich Rodriguez and Jamie Foxx eating dinner together in Chicago. Maybe he is a fan?
February 8th, 2010 at 12:57 AM ^
It was Gibson's and OSU (Tressel) several were in the mix that night at the same spot.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
I will probably get negged for this, but I think that Taylor kid from the twilight movies is a Michigan fan. He grew up on the west side. Obligatory disclaimer? Yes: my sister is 15 so that's how I came upon this info.
On a better note, Mini Me was at a spring game one time so ye must be a fan.
And maybe Hugh jackman? I only say that because of the xmen movies and have no factual basis.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
They had a Twilight kid ask "Dr. Lou" a question and it was about RR and UofM....So you may be right.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
He's Taylor Lautner from Hudsonville MI - a little Dutch farmtown outside of Grand Rapids. No word on if he's a M fan but I'd assume so.
Just so you know, I'm not a Twilight fan but I live by there so that's how I know where he's from.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:55 AM ^
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:49 PM ^
Actually he's went to high school in Norton Shores a suburb of Muskegeon, and I only know this because my girlfriend went to high school with him. So IDK where he was born but he grew up in Muskegeon, and I've heard he was a state fan.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:16 PM ^
He's also totally cute. And I only know, because I am also a vampire. xoxoxo
February 8th, 2010 at 6:21 PM ^
Lautner is definitely a Michigan fan and grew up in Hudsonville IIRC he moved to Cali before high school. My sister in law knows some kids that went to school with him at Jamestown Elementary. The fact that I know this makes me shudder.
February 22nd, 2013 at 11:32 AM ^
I think he's been quoted in interviews. Not that I've read any of his interviews,.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
I'm kind of a big deal
