Michigan got off on a highly dominating game against Iowa, as they were crowned as the Big Ten champions. After the Sign-stealing debacle unfolded, and Jim Harbaugh getting suspended, many fingers were being pointed at the team. However, Tom Brady came to their rescue by supporting McCarthy and Co. before games, along with staying true to his roots.
From taking part in the ‘bet’ moment to delivering the final warning against Penn State, there has not been a single opportunity that Brady has let go of to cheer his college football team up. Moreover, even the Indianapolis Colts, the former team of Jim Harbaugh, came forward to support their former player and his current team by displaying posters in their stadium. Seems that the list of Michigan’s supporters keeps on increasing day by day.
