Wolverines of all sizes

This morning I walked around downtown AA with a few friends taking in one of my favorite football cities on gameday. There is just something about Ann Arbor when the Wolverines are playing in the early fall. I'm so glad it's football season again.
We even drove past Pioneer High, where last night the Pioneers defeated rival Saline. The parking lot was jam packed with tailgaters. The smells of grilling meats drifted all over the lot and the cracking sounds canned beverages could be heard over the din of the Wolverine faithful. They talked about the upcoming game against Notre Dame. They talked about Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson. They talked all things maize and blue. It felt like there was nowhere else in the world where you'd find people this excited about football. But there was, and it happened to be just a few miles away at Ann Arbor Huron High.
Today also marked the opening game for a different group of Wolverines. The Washtenaw Jr. Wolverines started today as well, and the enthusiasm for the fans and players was just as great as that of their Big Ten counterparts. In fact, the only thing that was smaller were the uniforms.
If you ever want to see a group of youngsters learn the game of football while having a great time, check out the organization's website and get yourself to a game.
So to all of those donning the winged helmet this season, big or small, young or old, good luck. And GO BLUE!
