Michigan football is many things. It's 111,000 fans crowding into hallowed Michigan Stadium. It's the famed winged helmet. It's Fielding Yost, Fritz Crisler, Tom Harmon, Gerald Ford, Bennie Oosterbaan, Rick Leach, and Bo Schembechler. It's the rousing strains of "Hail to the Victors." It's the sublimity of a brisk, sun-splashed autumn Saturday in Ann Arbor. But most of all it's the utter dependability of an institution that delivers success as regularly as the leaves change colors in southeastern Michigan. Regardless of the decade, the coach, the players, changes to the rules, or social and political upheaval, the University of Michigan Wolverines win on the gridiron-40 conference titles, 34 bowl game wins, 11 national championships, and not one coach in its history with a losing record.Allen, Kevin is the author of 'What it Means to Be a Wolverine Michigan's Greatest Players, Talk about Michigan Football', published 2005 under ISBN 9781572436619 and ISBN 1572436611.
