Know thy enemy, Rutgers: Why they love Michigan

Related Topics: Michigan, University of Michigan

We love Rutgers. Why? Lots of reasons, personal, professional, emotional. But the people we play, their fans, love their schools, too. Why? Each week we’ll tell their story. Today with go with this week’s opponent, the University of Michigan. Doing the honors is a friend of mine, Fred Yawger, a swimmer while at UM. Instead of addressing each of the questions I posed, Fred took the liberty of waxing poetic about his alma mater.
