Special to the Detroit Free Press
Nothing says Michigan like football in the fall.
As a Detroit Lions fan since the age of 5, there is no better season than football season. I remember as a child going into the Pontiac Silverdome and chanting "Barry! Barry!" That’s when I learned what it meant to be a Lions fan.
It might be an emotional roller coaster watching the Lions play, but, boy, have I enjoyed the ride. Starting off the day tailgating at Eastern Market with my family and friends, singing "Forward down the field" after every touchdown, seeing the mascot Rory, and high-fiving the people that sit next to me (that I don’t even know), are some of my favorite memories.
