Amari | Michigan Fan at Cosm Detroit

Facing an Indiana team fresh off their first loss in 22 games, Michigan had the opportunity to take advantage in the "Big House." The Wolverines held their own, catching Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover at a time when he was struggling to achieve true form.

That is, until the game went into OT and Hoover took matters into his own hands. The Hoosiers' playcaller found the end zone on a QB run to put Indiana ahead, defeating the Wolverines 13-6 and earning their first win in Ann Arbor since 1967.

Despite the loss, Michigan fans at Cosm Detroit were in the best seat in the house to watch the close game from start to finish. And Wolverines fan Amari was among those who bleed Michigan Maize and Blue.

Why are you a fan of the University of Michigan?

My dad grew up a big Michigan fan, so, you know, we bleed maize and blue in the household.

Who is Michigan's biggest rival?

Ohio State. Always. We don't roll with them boys.

What's your favorite memory being a Michigan fan?

I'd say probably going to all the games with my dad growing up. You know, just being in the 'Big House,' being able to see all the hundreds of fans in the stands screaming. I'll never forget those games.

What do you think Ohio State fans are most jealous of with Michigan fans?

That we won a national championship. They hate it.

What's your favorite part about watching college football at Cosm Detroit?

I'd probably say the big dome experience. You know, it feels like you're at the game. You get the whole experience. You see the whole crowd, you see everything that's going on. So, it's a really cool experience, and I'm glad to be here.
