Saturday's Michigan game against Colorado will be the third straight weekend for Michigan football to put on a show honoring outsiders.
Michael Jordan was at opening weekend against Hawaii, the Military Appreciation Day last weekend was poignant, plus U-M alum Rich Eisen was there.
This Saturday's honorary captain against Colorado is unique but with a strong Michigan football connection: former Michigan quarterback Tom Brady.

While Brady had visited privately with the U-M team under former coach Brady Hoke -- talking to them during training camp a few years ago -- and attended coach Jim Harbaugh's "Signing of the Stars" event in February, he's doesn't attend many games.
