UM's Legendary 1997 Football Season

Michigan football is having a good season, so if you're not primed on football history, it's hard to believe that there were years that the team kept falling short. But there's one year in particular that changed course for the team: the 1997 season when Michigan broke a nearly half century long draught and won the championship. The book "Mountaintop: The Inside Story of Michigan’s 1997 Title Climb" tells the story of this legendary moment in Michigan football.
