The state of Michigan is drenched in an atmosphere of football. The Detroit Lions open the 2024 season on Sunday night, taking on the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field, while the defending National Champion Michigan Wolverines (ranked No. 10 team in the country) is hosting the Texas Longhorns (No. 3) on Saturday.
ESPN’s “College GameDay” is in Ann Arbor for their Saturday morning college football preview show, with a wave of Michigan fans crowding the set as they await kickoff. The crowd typically brings poster boards with fun writing on them, cheers for the local teams, and furiously boos their rivals.
