The Michigan Wolverines have a shiny new set of uniforms, a coach that is determined to lead them back to greatness and a quarterback that has all but ensured his inclusion in the 2012 Heisman Trophy race. Indeed, things are looking up in Ann Arbor.

Much like a quality college football coach cares about his recruits, TicketProcess.com values their repeat customers, and will go to great lengths to protect their right to buy tickets to exclusive events quickly and easily.
Michigan fans will fear no opponent this year thanks to the world-class skills of quarterback Denard Robinson. Robinson tore through Big Ten defenses in 2011 on his way to what many assumed would be a first round selection in Aprils' 2012 NFL Draft, but he eschewed the chance to cash in on his prestige for the opportunity to be the man that led the proud Wolverines back to greatness.
Purchasing Michigan Wolverines tickets will also gain you entry into Michigan Stadium, otherwise known as "The Big House." The historic venue underwent a few million dollars worth of face lifts and electronic enhancements during the past offseason, and the stadium employees are anxious to show their work off to the adoring masses.
The first opportunity to see the Wolverines at home will come in Week 1 of the 2012 NCAA football season when the Alabama Crimson Tide and coach Nick Saban make the trip up north into hostile territory to begin their run at another championship. A loss would represent a huge setback for either team and create a large blemish on a record that would seemingly need to be spotless to be considered for a National Championship appearance by the BCS. Considering the gravity of the game, both schools should be applauded for anteing such a large stack of chips to the center of the table on the first hand of the evening.

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: A Journey into the Heart of Fan Mania
"Fresh and funny… St. John has crafter a winner.” —Tony Horwitz, author of Confederates in the AtticIn the life of every sports fan, there comes a moment of reckoning. It may happen when your team wins on a last-second field goal and you suddenly find yourself clenched in a loving embrace with a large hairy man you’ve never met. . . . Or in the long, hormonally depleted days after a loss, when you’re felled by a sensation similar to the one you first experienced following the death of a pet. At such moments the fan is forced to confront the question others—spouses, friends, children, and colleagues—have asked for years: Why do I care? What is it about sports that turns otherwise sane, rational people into raving lunatics? Why does winning compel people to tear down goalposts, and losing, to drown themselves in bad keg beer? In short, why do fans care?In search of the answers to these questions, Warren St. John seeks out the roving community of RVers who follow the Alabama Crimson Tide from game to game across the South. A movable feast of Weber grills, Igloo coolers, and die-hard superstition, these are characters who arrive on Wednesday for Saturday’s game: Freeman and Betty Reese, who skipped their own daughter’s wedding because it coincided with a Bama game; Ray Pradat, the Episcopalian minister who watches the games on a television set beside his altar while performing weddings; John Ed (pronounced as three syllables, John Ay-ud), the wheeling and dealing ticket scalper whose access to good seats gives him power on par with the governor; and Paul Finebaum, the Anti-Fan, awisecracking sports columnist and talk-radio host who makes his living mocking Alabama fans—and who has to live in a gated community for all the threats he receives in response. In no time at all, St. John himself is drawn into the world of full-immersion fandom: he buys an

6 Fun Facts About the History of the Alabama Crimson Tide
At the University of Alabama, football is king. The school's gridiron squad has won numerous national titles, has had renowned coaches and players, and was even featured in the motion picture "Forest Gump." While most fans of "Alabama," "Bama," or "UA" know these details, you might be unaware of some others. Here are some facts about Alabama football, which fewer football fans know:
1. The "Crimson Tide" nickname originated from a muddy game
Prior to becoming the Alabama Crimson Tide, people commonly referred to Alabama's football squad, as the "Crimson White" (named after the school colors) or "Thin Red Line." Then in 1907, Alabama played its arch rival, Auburn. Alabama was a huge underdog, and the teams played in a "sea" of red mud. However, Alabama battled Auburn to a 6-6 tie. Later, a sports editor named Zipp Newman popularized the nickname "Crimson Tide."
2. No Alabama player has won the Heisman Trophy
Ironically, despite all the success of the Alabama Crimson Tide's football team, no player has won the Heisman Trophy award-given to the most outstanding NCAA football player in a single season. In 1993, David Palmer became the closest Alabama player to winning the award. David "The Deuce" Palmer, played wide receiver for the Crimson Tide, and would later play seven seasons with the NFL's Minnesota Vikings.
3. Alabama has won 21 SEC titles
The Crimson Tide's football record is simply outstanding. Here are some of its accomplishments, throughout the years:
o 12 National Titles
o 25 Conference Titles (21 SEC)
o 51 Bowl Games
o 92 All-American Players
4. Paul "Bear" Bryant had a .834 winning percentage as Alabama's coach
Coach "Bear" Bryant is a legend at Alabama. He led the Crimson Tide to six national championships, which is half of the team's all-time 12 national titles. Bryant also coached at Texas A&M University, the University of Kentucky and the University of Maryland. However, Alabama was where Bryant had his most success. Bryant earned the nickname "bear" when, at 13-years-old, he wrestled a bear as part of a theater's promotion.
5. Alabama's elephant mascot dates back to 1930
The origin of the school's elephant mascot was the 1930 season. At that time, Coach Wallace Wade was the team's general. During a game versus Mississippi, an Alabama fan shouted, "...the elephants are coming!" referring to Alabama's huge, aggressive players. Everett Strupper, a sportswriter, reported the incident.
6. Three former Alabama coaches are in the College Football Hall of Fame
Since the Hall of Fame first opened its doors in South Bend, Indiana (1951), it has inducted 16 Alabama players, and three coaches. The coaches inducted were Wallace Wade (1923-1930), Frank Thomas (1931-1946), and Paul "Bear" Bryant (1958-1982). The Hall of Fame inducted Bryant as both a player and a coach.
The football history at Alabama is simply amazing. It includes 12 national championships, Coach "Bear" Bryant, and some aforementioned less famous facts. Use Alabama Crimson Tide merchandise to cheer on the team to its next historical moment-another national championship!
