Wolverine247 Board

While I didn't attend college at UM. I do have my college degree, I couldn't afford to go UM. So I got my Gen ED classes out of the way at a CC, and took the rest of my classes at a University for my Bachelors. I grew up watching Michigan sports, I was fan of Michigan football, before I was a fan of any other team, I will always bleed blue. But I have a quite a few fans that are fans of MSU who didn't even attend college. The thing is, every school has this. What's the point of arguing about it. The whole Walverine thing is down right childish and is a good indication of a majority of their fans. They probably have the same ratio of Fans who attended MSU, to those who didn't as MSU. Just we have more, because we have a much larger fanbase.

Bottom line, who cares what school/team you root for.

From the few threads I've read the past day or so, this is what qualifies you as a Walverine or Walmart Wolverine:

- You don't live in Michigan.
- You didn't go to college and cheer for U of M.
- You did go to college, but have no affiliation with U of M.
- You are a student (undergrad or grad) at one of U of M's regional campuses.
- You are an undergraduate student at U of M (especially if you're in LSA).
- You are a graduate student, but studying something that they deem to be "not a real field."

Gotcha.

I cheered for the Buckeyes this year against MSU. Man they must be really annoying.

I root for you guys when you play MSU.

I'm still in high school, so I guess I'm a Walverine.

Damn, I'm a big time Walverine. Lived in PA all my life, and graduated from PSU. PSU students used to love when I'd wear my Michigan gear around campus

dude that makes you a hardcore wolverine in my book! part of the Big Blue Nation

Never been to Michigan live in southern California went to Usc ... What am I

Probably easier to define who is a Wolverine in their book than it is to define a walverine.

I don't really care what half of them think or say. If people want to sit down and talk football and life, then I'm all for it. Trying to troll or toss out insults around an internet forum is comical to me. I don't care what anyone has or doesn't have in their life. If you're rich or poor, employed or unemployed. If you come across as a good person, then you're OK in my book. Far more things in life to worry about then wasting my time arguing with people who aren't level-headed.

With that said, I've been a Mich fan for as long as I can remember. I never lived in Mich and frankly, the closest I've come, besides driving or flying through, is when my Dad was stationed in Conn. I didn't get my degree from Mich and never even thought about applying because of the cost. I've been all over the country because of the military so if people want to try and justify what they call us, then more power to them.

I bleed maize and blue, and more than likely will until I die, and what I do professionally or where I live will never dictate that.

Yeah dude, what were you thinking going to an Ivy league school? Where's the dedication?

That takes some serious balls especially going to a school like PSU. Good on your part.
