I go to a school, which probably has one of the best school spirits I have come across. Not only, is it for sports but it is just about in everything we do. From research, to having the best programs in the nation, to the best sporting history, to the best academics we have got it all. It is something which are proud about, obviously in the good way and not being cocky about it.
This incident happened when I first entered The Big House, which is the biggest college football stadium in the nation (US). It was Michigan vs Iowa and obviously we dominated them. We have always had a great history and have all been a 5-star team in this sport. Never before had I heard about them nor the sport. I was a first timer and like every other Michigan fan I fell in love instantly. Although, I have been to stadiums like that before, but the ambiance was crazy. It was sensational. With over 100,000 people roaring on the top of their voices and cheering for the team, it was simple intense. This feeling of being is such an atmosphere literally gave me GOOSEBUMPS. All I could see around the turf were the colors MAIZE AND BLUE and heard voices shouting GO BLUE. I know there are a lot of people including some of my very close friends who probably make fun of this and feel that I am some crazy person who is overly obsessed with Michigan Football, but it is not until you experience it.
Maybe I am a football frenzy, maybe I like my college cheer way too much but it is only because I felt great being a part of the Michigan community. It is not until you experience it all, till you know what it is see your football team rush across the turf jumping and touching the Banner above them, which says GO BLUE - M CLUB SUPPORTS YOU and what it is to sing 'The Victors' which is by far the best FIGHT SONG ever created.
It definitely about the MICHIGAN EXPERIENCE.
GO BLUE!
