ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Within the confines of Schembechler Hall, the nerve center of Michigan football, a good amount of space is devoted to the Towsley Family Museum. It honors the program’s rich history with a variety of displays, the centerpiece of which is a Win Wall that rises two stories high.
The glass case contains a football for each of Michigan’s 987 victories, with the scores, sites and dates of the games written on the balls. It’s a compelling visual representation of how long the school has been good at football, a meticulously curated pigskin pile of gridiron glory.
