Students proudly raise their fists as they sing Hail to the Victors after a touchdown. In rain, snow, wind, or hail the Big House was always full of diehard fans. S. Jerome photo There were only seven days a year when the city of Ann Arbor completely shut down and united under one common theme: football. No words could begin to describe the period from September to November that was known as football season. Regardless of whether or not someone liked to watch football, there was no escaping the overwhelming culture that created a football Saturday. Senior biology and education major Tammy Ram said, I didn ' t buy season tickets my freshman year because I don ' t like watching football. But I soon realized I was missing out on much more than watching some guys throw a ball around. For the serious Michigan fans, the day started as early as 7 a.m., with music blaring and alcohol flowing. Games of beer pong popped up on every porch and cheering continued to wake up the rest of their sleeping neighbors. Senior biomedical engineering major Emily Hull said, It isn ' t football Saturday without the people across the street blasting Wilson Phillips at 8 a.m. Near game time, all those traveling to the game could not do without a trip down Hoover Street. As the main path from campus to Michigan Stadium, it was impossible to avoid the mob of students walking to the game. Students with houses and apartments on Hoover Street screamed through megaphones and created 3-story beer bongs, all intended to pump up the fans before their actual entrance into the stands. Street vendors sold t- shirts adorned with slogans such as Rudy Sucks and Buck the Fuckeyes, intensifying fans ' hatred towards Michigan ' s biggest rivals, the University of Notre Dame and The Ohio State University. And rain or shine, everyone ' s favorite person, known as Bongo Man, banged his drums and free-styled on a grassy knoll in front of the Intramural Sports Building. Even without football tickets, enjoying the football experience was an event in itself. Every University student had to enjoy the football culture that over took Ann Arbor almost every weekend during fall semester. Football Saturday ' s are the best part of being a Michigan student. The whole campus gets together to cheer for Maize and Blue, said senior material science and engineering major Katelyn Ho way.
