The Monday night high voltage clash between the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies panned out beautifully, after a repeated hyperbole from coach Jim Harbaugh. The Wolverines’ chief patron was already in the headlines at the business end of the season for the wrong reasons. However, that couldn’t mark a chink in the armor he created in the pack of Michigan Wolverines throughout the NCAA College Football season. That’s where the team paid him with the title victory last night. 

Nonetheless, the support for the Wolverines also reached an unmatched level this season. Many big names joined by taking a stand for the team. Last night’s distinction didn’t go unattended. Swimmer extraordinaire Michael Phelps had a lot to rejoice with all this ensuing.

Michigan Wolverines finds its unlikely supporter in Michael Phelps 

Darren Rovell, being a sports media raconteur, took up his best sleeve on the eve of the Michigan Wolverines’ historical night. But in this veil, the judicious journalist threw his support cloak to many of the football fans, only to be picked up by them. In that jocund effort, the Olympic swimming legend veered into the crowd to show his support for the blue jersey giants. Darren Rovell gave out the name of Michael Phelps in his IG story, wishing, “Congrats to all my Michigan friends” after the Wolverines’ victory pomp. Soon after, the most decorated Olympian retorted by resharing Rovell’s story, only adding the war cry, “Let’s go blue!!! “But deep down there, the bonds forged via Michael Phelps and the Wolverines knitted a fairy tale.

Being a native of Baltimore, Phelps never shifted his support from the NFL bravado, Baltimore Ravens. Even the guy cherished every moment he spent cheering for the Ravens. As a part of mutual aesthetics, the Ravens family, including chief coach John Harbaugh, paid their respect to the Baltimore Bullet as well. Eventually, Michigan Wolverines chief coach Jim Harbaugh, sibling of John Harbaugh, never remained behind in that matter. He once made Phelps the honorary caption of the Wolverines for pulling out the team from lows. So the celebration story created a visual note for the night once again.
