Michigan Football: A History of the Nation's Winningest Program
Michigan Football: A History of the Nation's Winningest Program is a compilation of stories and pictures that have been printed in The Michigan Daily, the University of Michigan's student-run newspaper, from 1890 to the present. The book features the program's eleven national championships, three Heisman Trophy winners and legendary coaches who have made Michigan the winningest football program in the nation.
News headlines and stories throughout the book remind the reader of the important historical events occurring in Michigan and across the world while the Wolverines played on the field. But the history of Michigan football encompasses more than what happened on the field — it includes the band, cheerleaders and fans that support the Wolverines from the sidelines every Football Saturday. The selection of the Daily's coverage — including game covers, columns and photos — reflect the greatest moments of Michigan football and highlight the players and coaches who built the team's success and tradition.
The book can be purchased on Amazon and Barnes and Nobel. The special edition hardcover is sold through The Michigan Daily for $39.95. at book.michigandaily.com.

“For fans who live and die with every tick of the scoreboard in the Big House, this is a stroll through a funhouse of memories, from gruesome to awesome. By collecting the actual clips that were written when each moment takes place, the editors take you back in time through the vernacular prose of the day, and to the memory of when you relived every Big Blue moment in the next day’s Daily.”
“Michigan’s rich football history drips off the pages of The Michigan Daily’s collection. It’s wonderful to be able relive famous college football moments through the words and pictures of those young journalists — including many now-familiar bylines from major publications — experiencing them firsthand as they happened.”
