SPORTING VIEWS:
Autumn will
bring out
thousands
of ''fans
By Nicholas J. Cotsonika
Daily Sports Editor
Sitting in the tailgater's parking lot at Ann
Arbor Pioneer High School, sucking down hot
$logs, you can hear it. You can watch it rush by
you. You can feel it.
Two hours before game time, at your
traditional tailgate spot, there is no mistaking
what is about to take place down the road. The
Michigan football team must be squaring off
against its latest enemy. The hoards and legions
of maize-and-blue-painted fans are here once
again, all trying to park in the same space.
106,000 of them.
They form a human sea, swallowing up cars
nd buildings as they head down Hoover Street.
Pouring out of cars with "The Victors" blaring on
the radio, students, alumni and just-plain fanatics
invade Ann Arbor, eating at Amer's, walking
around the Diag and clogging up every avenue.
Autumn Saturday afternoons transform the
Michigan campus into a college football mecca.
It could be Notre Dame, Penn State or Colorado.
Who cares? Northwestern, Memphis and Miami
(Ohio) will work too. The opponent doesn't
matter. The fans will make the pilgrimage.
106,000 of them.
Some of them will sit when the game starts.
You won't. Students wrap around the northwest
end zone, standing and screaming. You will
sing "The Victors" a thousand times, and you
will never get the timing right. You'll be pelted
with marshmallows, hot and sticky at the
beginning of the season, cold and hard near the
end. You'll stand sideways on the metal
bleachers and will get to know your neighbor a
little too well.
i On the field, the Wolverines will beat the big
boys. The Irish. The Nittany Lions. The
Buckeyes. They'll run for touchdowns, throw
long passes and make diving catches. They'll
sprint out and touch the "'M' Club Supports
You" sign before every game, and the fans will
roar.
106,000 of them.
But beware. Michigan will break your heart

Carr to
coach
this fail
By Nicholas J. Cotsonika
Daily Sports Editor
The new era of Michigan football may have to
wait.
The Wolverines' next head coach will not be
named until after the 1995 season in the interest of
"stability" and "continuity," said Michigan Athletic
Director Joe Roberson.
Interim head coach Lloyd Carr, who replaced
former head coach Gary Moeller on May 4, will
continue to lead the Wolverines through the fall.
Moeller resigned after his arrest on charges of
disorderly conduct and assault and battery, follow-
ing an incident ata Southfield restaurant.
"Under the circumstances, (Carr)is the best man
for the job," said Michigan linebacker Jarrett Irons.
"Coach Carr is a Michigan man, and it will be easier
to make the transition with him."
Roberson said the Carr's ties to the Wolverines

Colorado's Michael Westbrook steals Michigan's glory as he grabs the "Hail Mary."

U

The Illini. The Badgers. Your soda will be
watered down and your hot dog will be cold.
Your legs will hurt and you will writhe with
pain when the Wolverines fall to the dreaded
"Hail Mary" (See Colorado, 1994). The fans
will weep. They will mourn.
106,000 of them.
Football at Michigan is religion. Coaches sit
under a microscope and are forced out at the
first sign of trouble. Players are held to the same
standards, finding themselves on national
television week after week. Fans buy
sweatshirts with the 'M' logo from Malibu to
Miami to Maine. The season never ends.
But each game will. Don't bother planning
to study, though. Parties and picnics fill up
nights after games, and after you witness the
conquering heroes or vanquished victors
perform, it's time to eat, again. Your tailgate
party is waiting, and you need to return to the
parking lot. Your day will end where it began -
if you can make it back.
After all, you have to wade through all those
crazy fans again.
