Michigan Wolverines

The most famous, and best-supported, of the Michigan varsity teams is the football team. Michigan won the first Rose Bowl game in 1902, and has won an NCAA-record 842 games through the 2004 season, and has an all-time winning percentage of .746, also an NCAA record. The Wolverine football program claims 11 national titles: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1932, 1933, 1947, 1948 and 1997.

Michigan's famous football coaches include Fielding Yost, Fritz Crisler and Bo Schembechler. Presently, the team is coached by Lloyd Carr. Michigan Stadium is the largest football-only stadium in the world, with an official capacity of 107,501 and with attendance commonly exceeding 110,000. Michigan Stadium has witnessed nearly 200 consecutive crowds of greater than 100,000 - a streak that dates back to 1975.

Michigan has a major rivalry with Ohio State, considered one of the fiercest rivalries in American sports. In ESPN's fan poll in 2000 and 2003, it was voted as the greatest rivalry in sports.[1] The game against Ohio State is always the last game of the regular season and has provided many memorable games, such as the "Snow Bowl" of 1950, and has very often decided the Big Ten title. Michigan also has an intrastate rival in Michigan State; the schools' football teams compete for the Paul Bunyan Trophy. The Wolverines have a tradition-rich history with the University of Minnesota. The two football teams compete for the Little Brown Jug, a five-gallon jug with the respective schools' "M" on either side and the scores of previous games down the middle. The Little Brown Jug is the oldest trophy in Division 1A football, first appearing in 1903. Finally, the University of Michigan has a rivalry with the University of Notre Dame. According to popular history, the Michigan football team taught football to the students of Notre Dame while spending the afternoon in South Bend, Indiana, where Notre Dame is located, en route to the University of Chicago. This game traditionally takes place early in the season, and has seen both schools play competitive football.

Michigan's most recent football season ended in a Big Ten conference championship followed by a 38-37 loss to The University of Texas in the Rose Bowl, during what has been called by many commentators one of the most exciting Rose Bowls ever. This was the first ever meeting of these two storied programs, and the two teams set over a dozen records during the game.
