Hype-meter rating: You’ll be a fine Michigan alum
- Janna Hutz
This wasn’t your best by any means. But we’re hyped that the
claw is catching on the way it is – to even see the two-handed claw
was simply … well as Lloyd Carr would put it,
“Treeeee-mendous.”
With that said, there was room for improvement. We understand
Homecoming festivities kept you occupied before the game, but when
the National Anthem is played, there shouldn’t be one-third of the
student section missing in action.
Also, those of you who tried to start the wave in the fourth
quarter … watch the game. The wave in the first place comes at
the worst possible times during the game (you applaud the wave when
something negative happens to Michigan … opposing teams’ fans
don’t need your help).
But, in the long run, Saturday was one of your better showings –
mainly because of the enthusiasm shown behind the claw (depicted
below) and the fire shown by those of you who stayed until the end
of the game.
