Heck Yes Wolverines

For all those diehard Maize and Blue fans... this blog is for everything that makes Michigan great, from the crowds of 107, 501 to the individuals that make it great to be a Michigan Wolverine.

This photo is from Ferry Field on the University of Michigan campus in 1950.  The photographer was covering the Michigan Marching Band and was wandering around getting candid shots when he watched a group of children run after the rehearsing drum major and start imitating him.  For more detail, check out the story in Michigan Today.  Go Blue!

Michigan Brasileiros: Meet the Brazilian Student Association at U-M

Brazilians like to say that they run into each other in every part of the world, so it’s safe to assume that, with nearly 1500 student organizations at the University of Michigan (U-M), there would be a Brazilian group on campus. And there is. But, after its founding members graduated and left the university about 7 years ago, the Brazilian Student Association (BSA) became inactive for a while. “The people who were organizing it went home and sort of ended the association because there weren’t enough members,” said Fernando Schnaidman, current president of BSA. 

Around two years ago, a newly arrived wave of Brazilian students decided to bring the organization back to life. It has been growing since then and now has almost 70 members in its Facebook group [closed to members only]. “Our main role is to be a home for Brazilians,” said Fernando, a junior in industrial and operations engineering at U-M originally from the city of São Paulo. “The other is to promote the Brazilian culture on campus,” he added.

Really wish these Michigan themed Pop Tarts were Michigan themed Wheaties so I could say 'Those Who Stay Will Eat a Breakfast of Champions.'

And they couldn't do Blueberry or some filling that wasn't bright red?
