I litterally bump into 100's of Michigan fans in Ann Arbor on a lot of Saturdays in the fall.
December 28th, 2016 at 8:32 PM ^
...for me it is in the 10,000's.

I took my wife to the Halsey concert at the Masonic Temple in July and not only ran into a random Michigan fan, but one that, thanks to a DM or two that I found out about later, knew exactly who I was. THAT was strange. Don't get me wrong, I was amused to no end, but it was strange.
December 28th, 2016 at 7:58 PM ^
Was that the Admiral William Halsey concert?
December 28th, 2016 at 8:17 PM ^
Fleet Admiral (5-Stars) William "Bull" Halsey" - an unbelievably great American who played a pivotal role in turning around the war in the Pacific during WWII.
Famous Bull Halsey quotes:
"When this war is over, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell!"
"All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them but confront them."
Hit hard, hit first, hit often.

Summer 1971, and I'm at the Hadley Landing Site, trying to get the damn Lunar Rover to start. Sonofabitch if I don't see two Michigan alums there. One pretty close, and the other one pretty far away - but certainly the closest person around for miles and miles.
I yelled out "Go Blue" and no answer.
I yelled out "GO BLUE" again, and no answer.
Then I realized there was no atmosphere, so I flipped on my intercom system - they answered then.

My guess is you will see many more Michigan hats over the coming years as the Spartan Nation fan club crawls back under the woodwork or the rock they were hiding under.

I get constant "go blue" comments when I wear my gear around Lansing

I ran into Elvis Grbac's sister in Myrtle beach, what seems like forever ago. She ran up on me and told me her brother played for Michigan, I didn't believe her but, she ran and got pictures to prove it to me.

lmao I wish, that was waaaay before camera phones. I was 13 or 14 back then and I'm 41 now.
December 28th, 2016 at 7:36 PM ^
Yeah. I upvoted. Great Wall M encounters are actually kind of cool.
December 28th, 2016 at 7:42 PM ^
Seriously though I have had numerous encounters in New York, Chicago , DC with fans just walking down the street. I know strong alumni bases in all big cities but always a nice moment.

I'm not a doctor, but I'd suggest a bacitracin-based ointment.

I've been to about ~47 countries and I've counted about 4-5 where I did not see at least one person wearing something Michigan.
Random alum/player encounter I do enjoy telling:
I fly to/from Seattle about every 2-3 weeks for work, and I've accrued enough status that I get upgrades from time to time. When you're on the upgrade list, you can see how many open seats there are and a list of names and their order.
So this summer, I was #2 for an upgrade and there was only 1 seat open and the name in front of me was JON/D (they don't liste entire names). JON/D got the upgrade, and I didn't and as I boarded the flight to get into my coach seat, I saw thast JON/D was actually Dhani Jones.
Go Blue... but seriously, I really wanted that legroom Dhani!

Not getting upgraded sucks, no matter who is in front of you.
December 28th, 2016 at 8:22 PM ^
i am Platinum on Delta and I can't tell you how many times I am number 4 on the upgrade list with only 3 seats available. Made Diamond for next year so maybe I'll finally get upgraded on occassion.
