If Tom Brady’s support for his college football team was not infectious enough, Ric Flair has joined the wagon as well. And oh boy, is his energy infectious! Although this is not the first time ‘Nature Boy’ has taken the podium to douse the Michigan players with his highly energetic and motivating words.
After the Wolverines snatched away the Big 10 championship from Iowa State after a one-sided 26-0 game, Ric Flair could not contain his excitement. “Go Blue!” said the former WWE player, showering the team with words of praise. Now, he is here again as Michigan prepares for the Rose Bowl, just with a little lot more aggression and excitement this time.

Flair was already loud and boisterous when it came to Michigan, but now, his obsession with the team is reaching new levels. Well, who is to blame, being a professional wrestler for years, the guy has thrashed each opponent of his with equal obsession and passion. As Michigan gets ready to face the Alabama Crimson Tide for the Rose Bowl, Flair wishes to see the same passion in the team, now that Harbaugh’s back as well.

The Wolverines will face the Crimson Tide on January 2nd, giving the team their ultimate chance to the National Championship, a consistent dream of the Wolverines this season. Despite being the number 1 seed, Alabama is no team that can be taken easily. The red-hot SEC champions are coming in with a versatile rooster.
On the other hand, Michigan has an impressive roster, along with a Citrus Bowl win over Alabama in 2020. Looking at the rankings, Michigan ranks 1st in defense, while Alabama is at the 17 position, something that might hurt Alabama in the upcoming game, whereas speaking of total offense, Alabama has an upper hand at 54th position, as compared to Michigan’s 68th.
