>> Yeah I mean it's my last home game as an undergraduate.
It's sort of surreal.
I've met so many wonderful people across the years, that
it'll be hard to leave behind,
but for now I'm just excited to cheer one last time.
And to be down there one last time and see those players one last time.
>> When you're only just one blues brother you get really weird looks from everybody.
People wonder why you're a weirdo with the suit that weird hat on,
and then as soon as you have the second blues brother there everybody's like,
oh the blues brothers! But,
now I'm just the weirdo with the suit.
>> I grew up with my grandparents.
They were alumni that went to the university in the fifties
and they've had tickets for forty or fifty years now.
They would take me and my cousin
since I was about five years old to Michigan football games and, you know
as a little kid everybody treats you well so I was getting high fives and people
were giving me candy, and
it was always so fun.
>> "Now them little kids look pretty cool,
I hope you do well in school. Just remember do not be dumb or you
could be out here playing this drum.
And even thought this looks like fun, don't let it happen to you sun.
I'm glad you made it to this game..."
>> Two or three hours before the game I started getting a little bit nervous
and bubbly inside.
I just want the team to do well so badly, that
you get sort of nervous to see what's going to happen in the game.
That all goes away at kickoff. The only thing you've got is the adrenaline
of having 20,000 students pulsing around you.
Ever since I've gotten here it's just felt like this is the climax of that.
And now I've been through four years of that as a student.
The football team's been up and down but it still gets better every
game to come down and meet these people.
Just, the people I've met and the people I see, and,
the feeling of them running under the banner. You know, whatever
it is, its sort of a feeling that
I'm worried I might not ever get again.
You know, sends chills down my spine in a way that there's not many other things
that can anymore.
So right now I'm doing this whole blues brothers thing,
and it's me and my friend Adam.
On the way to and from games people stop us and say, "blues brothers, your famous,
you're on the big screen you're so excited," like,
"we love you!"
>> Yeah this is an interesting year that's for sure.
There are a lot of things that
are going on. I think the bad football team this year, or the
underperforming football team this year has
really brought it to light how unhappy the students have been with some
of the policies.
This is where the whole movement to fire Dave Brandon or whatever has come out of.
We have to pay four and a half dollars to get a bottle of water if you're
in the seats. I think the
statistic is that if you're accounting for inflation
ticket prices have tripled since 1990.
Just because we'll pay for more
doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
I still love Michigan football every bit as much as I did
three years ago and that's because I love this university
and I love the students and alumni of
this university and as long as we keep
doing what we do as a University, leading research and
putting out some the best students in the world, that's not going to change based
upon our football team does.
The football team is really just the most exciting way
for us all to get together and celebrate the fact that we're apart
of this school.
It's going to be hard to leave the student section that's for sure...
..that's for sure.
