A real football game

I love that Michigan football has gone back to playing an actual competitive game instead of just running a practice for the fans to watch.

Jim Harbaugh is a competitor by nature and this team has really embraced who their head coach is. These guys love to compete and it’s going to be fun to watch the Maize vs Blue.

It’s a great chance for the assistant coaches to take on more Gameday responsibilities and the players seemed to really enjoy the chance to win some bragging rights and a steak dinner if I remember correctly.

Beyond the fact that it’s good for the team, it’s good for the fans. It feels like more of an experience and more teams should do what Michigan is doing when it comes to spring football games.
