You’ll be inspired by the likes of Tom Harmon, Anthony Carter, Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson, and Tom Brady. You’ll appreciate the Wolverine persistence that crafted a 1934 team MVP into the thirty-eighth president for the United States and learn to apply that same Michigan character in your own life.

As a former football player on the 1997–2000 teams, I witnessed a few of these powerful moments from the sidelines. They are still as transformative today as they were live, and the lessons I learned from them stick with me. Reexperience these moments and others and allow them to motivate you to be the best version of yourself—a champion of the West.

Go Blue!

January 1, 1993: Michigan 38, Washington 31

TYRONE WHEATLEY WAS ANYTHING BUT ordinary on this New Year’s Day.

The seventy-ninth Rose Bowl featured the seventh-ranked University of Michigan Wolverines against the ninth-ranked University of Washington Huskies in Pasadena, California. The game is still considered one of the greatest contests in Rose Bowl history. It had it all—six lead changes and drama at the end. The fans rose to their feet in anticipation as the Big Ten champion Wolverines scored the final two touchdowns of the game to come from behind for a 38–31 win.
