Real Recognize Real report (12/4) - Positive development for Michigan on the Bryce Underwood front

Welcome to the Real Recognize Real Report. That title isn’t grammatically correct, but it’s not supposed to be. It’s a colloquialism that is commonly used within my family and friend circle, highlighting how a person possessing a particular trait can readily identify others possessing that same trait. A person who is genuine and authentic can recognize other people that are genuine and authentic. The “3R Report” will follow that theme – it’ll always include intel from real, genuine sources whose credibility has been verified. Installments will drop daily. They won’t always be long, and they won’t always include huge news, but they’ll always be real.

• Michigan will be making its 51st all-time bowl appearance, which is the 11th-highest total among FBS schools.

• Michigan will be making its 40th all-time bowl appearance in the month of January.

• Michigan has played in 12 different bowl games during its history, winning 21 bowl games, which is the 17th-highest total among FBS schools.

• The Wolverines are playing in the Rose Bowl for 21st time in school history; 8-12 record.

• Michigan’s last appearance in the Rose Bowl came during the 2006 season, a 32-18 setback against USC on Jan. 1, 2007.

Michigan’s return to the Rose Bowl has led some (myself included) to call for a classic look that the Wolverines displayed during their many trips to the “Granddaddy of Them All”.
