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.
